Douglas County will continue to have a tower at that location, and has requested that the new tower be 190 feet taiL Since Sprint PCS cannot piggy-back onto Southwestern Bell's tower near 7th and Vennont, they want to share this new tower at 11th and New Hampshire, and are offering to build it. The new tower will be freestanding, and not require cables for support. It will not be lighted. Equipment at the tower's base will require only a small enclosure, not the larger building originally proposed. It will be possible to see freely through the fence enclosing the tower and equipment. The new tower was approved by the Planning Commission on December 17th after Ardys Ramberg voiced ELlA's official acceptance of Sprint PCS building this tower at this location. What's that smell? Have you noticed an unpleasant smell near the railroad tracks on 13th Street? Some Brook Creek tenants have, and they are seeking help locating its source.

ELlA Applies for Grant On August 25, 1998 the Lawrence City Commissioners agreed to jointly apply with ELIA for the Metro Community Capacity Building Grant from the Kansas Department of Commerce. ELIA hopes to use the grant to initate a process to establish a conservation district in the neighborhood. The City is a co-applicant and will provide matching funds up to $15,000. This will bring the grant total to $30,000. Part of the money, which would be allocated in January, would provide funds to hire a consultant who will help bring all the key participants together in creating a vision of what we would like our neighborhood to look like. The award notification will be sent in October. Watch future newsletters for more information on this grant and for opportunities to participate in the visioning process. Kudos Corner Kudos to Dennis Enslinger of the City Planning Department and to all the Board Members who put forth so much effort to complete the grant application. Dennis is a former East Lawrence resident and really carne through, especially given the time crunch we were under. Thanks again.

October 12 Board Meeting 7-9 at Charlie's Eastside Bar and Grill, 9th & Pennsylvania 15 Announcement of Grant Reciepents 20 Deadline for submissions to the Newsletter Minutes for July 13, 1998 ELlA General Meeting Bert Nash Community Mental Health Center (BNCMHC). Tom Petrizzo and Judy Osborn from the BNCMHC gave details on the house they have purchased at 1334 New Jersey to use as a halfway housing facility: House was originally designed for students with four bedrooms and two shared bathrooms. House is by the same builder as their house at 911 Ohio. Funds have been received by CDBG (per Lynn Goodell's advise) and from the state. BNCMHC will close on the house on August 4, will then update the interior for their needs. Tenants not expected to move into house before October. Ten is the maximum that would be housed on site. Target tenants are: Homeless adu1ts with a mental illness; People corning out of an in~patient setting; Will not be a drop- in center; Clients will have a vested :interest :in their own rehabilitation; Minimum occupancy for a tenant is 9 months, 6-12 months is the expected average. House rules with a curfew will be enforced by a 24-hour staff and a daytime director; Judy will supervise the staff: �Page 2 Director is to be someone with experience in this field and will be on 24-hour call, the 24-hour staff will probably be students in social welfare; 24-hour staff tends to have a 1-2 year turnover rate; HUD SuperNova funds have provided $300K for the first three years, BNCMHC hopes the house will be self-sufficient after that. BNCMHC will have an open house for the neighborhood to see the house and learn more. There have been very few problems with other homes run by BNCMHC. One problem incurred was a tenant that telephoned 911 frequently without a valid reason, the tenanfs behavior was corrected. BNCMHC would like to see community members become involved with the house; would like volunteers to make weekly presentations or teach lessons. Minutes from the May 11 ELlA general meeting were read and corrected; the Murphy-Bromelsick house is currently located at 909 Pennsylvania, not 907 Pennsylvania. The plans are to move this structure to Hobbs Park, the site of the old Speer house, not Stear. No Treasurer's Report was read as the treasurer was not in attendance. Old Business Brick Streets July 18, ELlA volunteers will work with Joe Bickford to do repairs on the brick street at Tenth Street and Rhode Island.

Murphy-Bromelsick House Mark Kaplan organized a clean-up and move preparation of the house on June 27: KANU Radio and The Lawrence Journal World to pictures and reported on the day. Artifacts found: Lawrence druggist bottle, Woman's face cream jar lid (appearing to be at least 100 yr. old, pearl button Mike Wildgen, City Manager, had the city place a dumpster in front of the house and reviewed the progress made. Mayor Kennedy supports this project. At the end of the day, safety precautions were taken by boarding the windows closed and adjusting the supports. A sign was placed in front of the house to make passers-by aware of the project. Coast to Coast Hardware on Massachusetts sold needed items at a discount to support the project. Carrie Lindsey will add Coast to Coast Hardware to the next ELlA newsletter to thank them. ELlA Telephone Carrie received quotations from Southwestern Bell to install an ELlA phone line: $29.49 monthly charge $57.40 installation fee $75.00 new jack fee Putting this telephone at the Social Service League Store is not feasible.

Ted Juneau, CJHS principal will meet with PTO in August to discuss possible solutions to neighborhood complaints. One ..... suggestion is a parent-patrol with cellular phones.

A conservation district would help East Lawrence preserve an area without being as strict as a historic district. The city would have to pass an ordinance which would define the restrictions placed on such district- could include stone curbs, hitching posts and front porches. Grant would cover 75% of funds required for staff or consultant, the remaining 25% must come from an outside source, such as the city. Carrie Lindsey has consulted Dennis Esslinger, the City Preservation Planner, and will meet with him and Thomas Dow, of the Topeka Department of Housing, on August 17.

HOBBS PARK MEMORIAL ELlA continued its participation with the Hobbs Park Memorial group and its project for moving the Murphy-Bromelsick House to Hobbs Park. This month Mark Kaplan met with Representative Troy Findley who expressed his support for the project. Representative Findley is anxious to see the project move forward and has expressed his desire to assist ELlA and the Memorial Board in obtaining funds from the State. ELlA will be applying for CDBG funds to assist with such items as the foundation, the landscaping needs and windows for the memorial once it has been moved to Hobbs Park. Other fund raising efforts continue and more individuals have come forward with their support for this project. Charles Jones was elected by a narrow margin to the County Commission. His district is the only one contained entirely within the City of Lawrence and he will provide East Lawrence's representation to the Commission. During his campaign Charles spoke frequently of the deteriorating infrastructure in East Lawrence. While the County Commission has less control over these issues than the City Commission, Jones stated in a short conversation with the East Lawrence News that he hopes to use his position on the County Commission as a "bully pulpit" to speak for neighborhoods and to champion their concerns. Jones reiterated that Horizon 2020, the planning document used by the City of Lawrence, considers infill development and infrastructure issues for East Lawrence and that Horizon 2020 policy should be used in addressing these issues. Other candidates elected who will represent East Lawrence include Democrat Troy Findley, Kansas State House Representative for District 46. Also, Democrat Dennis Moore defeated Republican Vince Snowbarger in the race for 1 �• Third District Representative to the United States Congress. Dennis Moore will open an office in Douglas County sometime in January to be available to address constituent's concerns.

Bicycle Advisory Committee to Hold Public Hearing The Lawrence Bicycle Advisory Committee (BAC) will sponsor the first public meeting on the Bicycle/Automobile Compatibility Study on November 17, 1998 at the South Park Recreation Center at 1141 Massachusetts Street. The meeting will begin at 6:00p.m. It will offer an explanation of the study, which involves eleven streets, many of which are major thoroughfares. BAC and a representative of its consulting firm, TranSystems Corporation of Kansas City, MO, will take comments until 8:00 p.m. This is the first meeting in a series of four monthly public meetings that will focus on existing "on-street bicycle/automobile conditions" in the eleven ~3 • . street segments under study. For more information contact Aaron Bartlett, City of Lawrence Transportation Planner at 832-3406. Rezoning Issues In September, Architect Bo March, owner of the architectural design and development company, Elements, presented a development plan to ELlA. The plan involves moving four older homes (previously divided into multifamily units) to a site on Delaware & 1ih. The area would need to be rezoned as a Planned Residential Development (PRO). The development would include multi-family structures, off-street parking, tennis court and planned garden space. March also plans on keeping the large house on that corner for a personal residence for his family. Residents of the area met with March on October 29, 1998. At this time ELlA has neither endorsed nor opposed this project. If you would like more information on the project please contact Carrie at 832-6497 or attend the November 161h meeting to receive more information. EllA LOGO UPDATE There has not been enough attendance at previous meetings to vote on a new logo. The logos will be presented again at the November meeting. Come to the meeting and vote for your favorite one. The December Board meeting will be moved to Tuesday, December 15 due to Hanukkah. CDBG Advisory Board Reorganization The Housing and Neighborhood Development (HAND) staff has recommended that the Citizen Participation Plan for the City be overhauled. The Citizen Participation Plan includes the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Advisory Board. This is the board, which makes funding allocation recommendations to the City Commission on the $1.5 million in CDBG funds that the City receives from the federal government. These funds are used to operate ELlA, pay for its �. Page4 newsletter and pay the coordinator. Under the recommended changes the CDBG Advisory Board and three other advisory boards would be reorganized into the HAND Activity and Policy Recommendations Board (APRB). The CDBG Board would be eliminated and the allocations task would be given to a committee of APRB. The downside of this for East Lawrence and the other CDBG funded neighborhoods (Oread, Pickney, Brook Creek & North Lawrence) is that the neighborhood representation on the allocations committee would be reduced from two representatives to one. The City Commission sent the initial plan back to the HAND staff saying that changes needed to be made to further balance the concerns of neighborhoods with the focus on housing and issues. HAND will present the plan again at ' the November 1ih City Commission me13ting. For further information on changes to thH Citizen Participation Plan contact Carrie at 832-6497.
