Neighborhood Association Finances Update |
||
|
The treasurer provides an update on the neighborhood association's finances. The total event costs for the recent candidate forum were around $900, with Mount Tabor contributing $400 for pizza. After donations, the net cost was around $800, split evenly with Mount Tabor. The current checking account balance is $5,002.77. Southeast Uplift advised that the balance is getting high and taxes may need to be paid, so some funds could potentially be moved to their account. Suggestions are made to spend down the balance through events or projects like yard signs and banners. The communication grants from Southeast Uplift are capped at $500 per year, which the association is nearing. |

Southeast Uplift's Priorities and Outreach Plans |

NTNA and Tim discussed the Southeast Uplift's recent activities and future plans. They highlighted the city's numerous advisory committees and the need for volunteers to fill vacancies.

Tim further explained the Communications Fund, which provides $500 for Neighborhood Association outreach and communications, and the need for a board vote on how to spend the funds. They also discussed the upcoming officer trainings and the President's Round Table on District 3 priorities. The board was asked to identify key areas and bullet points within those areas, and to gather information from neighbors and community members. The plan is to conduct this over the next month or two, and then invite broader stakeholders for input via survey. A summit will be held in February or March to showcase the district 3 priorities and stakeholders. |
