1. Livable University Neighborhoods
Chairman Allen reported on his contact with Karen Bruns at Ohio State University and her shared desire to work with the University Area Commission on a tentative livable university neighborhoods project. Bruns will be attending the March Community Relations Committee meeting.
2. Media Letter
Details of the media letter were explored, including the possibility of using a color map. Also, the city code defining area commissions was agreed upon adding to the letter.
3. Open Forum
Those in attendance explored the idea of an ongoing press release function, which is likely to be further explored at future meetings.
The question was brought up as to why the city did not plan on having any of the Dream It Do It Neighborhood Meetings within the central city area. The question was answered soon after.
