Even though I am new to the Neighborhood I am a Lawrence native. Having established roots and family here, my fiance, Terra Brunton, and I bought our first home on the 1300 block of Pennsylvania in August of 1998. I am a graduate of both Lawrence High School and the University of Kansas School of Business. In the past years I have served in an administrative capacity for such locally owned businesses as the Yello Sub, The Note magazine, Kief's Audio Video, and G.W. Media Group/Mercy Record Studio. Currently I work in the Office of Sponsored Programs at the University of Kansas Center for Research, Inc. (CRINC for short) as a Grants Specialist. Given the ELlA is almost entirely grant funded, what better person could serve as Treasurer!? I also enjoy playing and recording music and can be seen around town donning garish western wear in the Country and Western band The Big Rigs I Kudos Corner Kudos to those individuals who volunteered their time to serve as ELlA officers or as ELlA board members. Thank you. 1144 Pennsylvania The KU School of Architecture and Urban Design, Studio 804 students will have received approval on their plan to build a low-income house at this site. The students will work under Dan Rockhill. The students and Dan Rockhill met several times with neighbors and ELlA. The initial plan was modified based on suggestions from interested individuals. The students also had to get approval from Housing and Neighborhood Development (HAND) at the City. Their plan was also reviewed and/or approved by the Planning Department, the City Commission and the Historic Resources Commission. (No doubt, a significant learning experience for the students.) When it is finished the house will be sold through HAND and the money from the sale will reimburse the City for their purchase of the land. The students broke ground on March 1, 1999. They will continue working on the house (about 12 hours a day!) and hope to have it completed by the end of the semester. Go by and watch the progress. 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 March meeting. Come to the meeting and vote for your favorite one. �~I Page4 THESE BUSINESS MADE GENEROUS CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE EAST LAWRENCE CLEANUP PICNIC EINSEIN BROS.

You do not need to be a member of ELlA to attend this meeting but participation is vital. The more participation we have the stronger our neighborhood organization is. Please join us. ELlA Neighborhood CleanupSuccessful as always! On Saturday morning, April 17, 1999 it was cold (for a spring day in Kansas}, windy and slightly rainy. But they braved the weather and came anyway. Approximately 20 people showed up for the ELlA cleanup. The neighborhood was canvassed for trash. One group worked specifically picking up brush. The cleanup ended with an indoor picnic at the East Lawrence Recreation Center. There was lots of great food donated from several generous businesses. (It did arrive slightly late and the coordinator thanks the group for not rioting!) ELlA is considering having a second cleanup in the fall. If you have suggestions on how we can improve neighborhood participation or if you would like to be more involved in the fall cleanup, please join us at our next meeting or drop a note in the mail. ATTENTION TENANTS: Ever wonder how you could get out of the rut of paying rent to someone else to live in a piece of property that's not even yours? Have you ever wondered how you could afford to buy a house even if you don't have the money for a big down payment? Did you know the City operates a program designed to assist people just like YOU? It's called Homeowners Out Of Tenant's or HOOT for short. HOOT is intended to help first time home buyers get into a decent home by helping with the down payment, closing costs and any necessary mechanical rehabilitation the house may require. It encourages affordable, owneroccupied housing and community development. It also prepares potential home buyers for the financial and physical responsibilities of home ownership. Not just anybody can qualify for this assistance. You have to be a first time home buyer and fit certain income guidelines. Also, the desired house cannot be beyond reasonable repair. After all, houses in this town are not getting any cheaper and East Lawrence is a great place to find an affordable house that just wants a little attention. Call Alan Bowes at Tenants to Homeowners at 842-5494 to find out if the HOOT program is right for you. You never know, this might be just what you need to help get you out of a rut and into a very sensible investment. �I ELlA Neighborhood Conservation Plan ELlA and the City of Lawrence are ready to begin working on the creation of a Neighborhood Conservation Plan. A committee of interested parties has been formed. Members of the committee will be formally announced at a City Commission meeting later this month. Two ELlA Board Members, KT Walsh and Jean Ann Pike will serve on the committee. Representatives from East Lawrence property owners, renters, businesses, Central Junior High School, New York Elementary School the City and a few other groups will also serve on the committee. The group will meet once a month beginning in May. The consultant for the project has not been hired yet. At some point in the process, public meetings will be held and there will be an opportunity for any East Lawrence resident to review and comment on the project. We will continue to provide updates in the newsletter. The phone number for ELlA is 832-6497. Leave a message for your Neighborhood Coordinator, Carrie Lindsey, at this number.

HOBBS PARK MEMORIAL The City of Lawrence HAND Advisory board has voted to approve $25,000 in Community Development Block Grant funds for the Hobbs Park Memorial Fund project to move the stone and brick house at 909 Pennsylvania to Hobbs Park as a memorial to Quantrill Raid survivor and hero, John Speer.

In addition, a big thank you to Doug Byers who contributed the piece on Tenants to Homeowners. ELlA NAME CHANGE? There has been discussion at recent board meetings about changing our name from the East Lawrence Improvement Association. One concern that has been mentioned about the current name is that it reflects a somewhat negative image with the suggestion that East Lawrence needs to be improved. There is always room for improvement but we don't want to imply that that is our only mission. Please attend the meeting on May 1o'h to voice your opinion on this issue.

Sabatini Associates will assist in putting together the historical and planning information for the project. They will also facilitate committee meetings and other public meetings to bring about consensus on how we can keep best East Lawrence as a strong and thriving part of the City. The process should last about ten months. In the near future, there will be a meeting at which Sabatini's team will introduce themselves to the neighborhood.
