•There are three dumpsters that will be dropped off the Friday before – the locations were given.

•We will be joined by the Lighthouse kids and Liz let the group know that the Lighthouse Block Watch has also been invited and encouraged to attend.

•Probation and Parole is booked at a separate clean up that day and we may not have any clients helping us this year.

•It was noted that per the request at March’s meeting, the Police that patrol the neighborhood have been invited to join us, especially during the cookout.

The next item on the Agenda was Impact Statements for an offender in the neighborhood. The Agenda had copies of the CCAP information and there was a short discussion on the importance of doing these statements. Liz also let the group know that there will be a request with the Court to keep this person out of the neighborhood. This has been used once before and has been a success.

The next item on the Agenda was the Landlord Breakfast and an invite was attached to the Agenda. There was a short discussion on this event.

Prior to ending the meeting the group discussed rent assistance and some of the issues and concerns were shared. It was noted that one of the Landlord Breakfasts in the future could have as the guest speaker a representative from Rent Assistance.
