3.  CDBG Funded Neighborhood Discussion.

 

The committee requested an informal meeting with the current CDBG funded Neighborhood Associations. Wilbur explained with the amount of funding decreasing, it seemed helpful to meet with representatives of the Neighborhood Associations to discuss best practices and efficient use of the funds. Topics of discussion included printing and postage costs of newsletters, website creation and hosting expenses, fundraising ideas, and increasing membership/participation. Neighborhood Associations were encouraged to share ideas and practices, with the goal being to reduce expenses and increase revenues.

 

Dresslar asked the Neighborhood Association representatives to send her an email with a description of planned newsletters, including size/shape and label/postage requirements.
