We had a quorum -- Sara, Gayle, Andy, Keats, Seth -- so this was a formal business meeting. Here are notes on a few action items. We'll get out formal minutes a bit later. - We have tentatively set Wednesday evening, May 30, for the stakeholders' meeting. We will see about holding it at Victory Tower. - We voted to appoint several more community members and officials to the Advisory Board. We appointed Gayle as chair. We may change the name of the board to Program Steering Committee, more on which later. - We reviewed a letter Sara had drafted to District officials thanking them for funding, recognizing help we have received, and informing them of status and light of Cmdr. Burton's directions to us regarding waiting on spending. Sara will complete the draft. - I will draft a Memorandum of Understanding with TDCNA, our fiduciary agent for the DC grant, and we will turn the District's check over to them for retransfer of funds to Safe Takoma Inc. - I will pursue our earlier request for additional to TP for start-up funds, at this point to pay for our IRS 1023 filing and for Maryland Nonprofits members. - I will pursue insurance on Monday; the person who handles this at the organization we approach is out until then. - Board members will comment at Monday evening's TP city council meeting regarding status and funding.
