Special thanks to Julie Banhart and Mark Taylor for their assistance. Greetings!!! Many of you may remember the City of Lawrence and The Brook Creek Neighborhood Association's efforts to assess the Brook Creek Neighborhood last year. The purpose of this assessment was to compile an accurate and updated listing of your neighborhood's needs and goals. The needs and goals assessment was successful and is now complete. Topping the list of the Brook Creek Neighborhood priorities is housing. Second is sewer and drainage, third, neighborhood beautification, followed by transportation, streets, sidewalks and bicycle routes, public facilities and services, and residential land use with parks and recreation being of the least importance. A summary of the needs and goals shows that Brook Creek wishes to maintain its low-density by minimizing the construction of multi-family dwellings and promote neighborhood beautification by encouraging landlords to upkeep and maintain properties. The assessment also asserts that the neighborhood is in need of several drainage ditch repairs as well as enhanced street lighting. The needs and goals document also acknowledges a need to encourage non-residential land use that may beneficial to the area such as a neighborhood grocery store. �The objective now is to make these goals come to life. To better enable us to take this document a step further and encourage economic development in the Brook Creek community, we would like your opinion on more ways to improve your neighborhood. Our wish is to compose a neighborhood revitalization plan in which the community is the major player. Along with help from other public entities, this plan can be beneficial to all. Included with this interim newsletter is a short follow-up survey. Please take a few minutes to fill it out and mail it back to City Hall in the envelope provided. Please try to return the survey by October 30, 1998. We appreciate your help!

Use outdoor equipment outdoors, and indoor equipment indoors. All lights and extension cords should be inspected before use. If the insulation around wires is brittle or cracked, it is time to throw them away. One frequent mistake is to string too many lights together in one run, or to plug too many lights into the same extension cord. For safety's sake, don't plug more than three strings of lights into the same extension cord. Don't hide extension cords beneath rugs, because it could cause excessive heating of the wire, which could lead to melting of the insulation, short circuit, and fire. Don't leave lights on while you're out. With electricity, just because it works doesn't mean it's safe. Too much electrical load on an extension cord or a light string can result in overheating of the wires and insulation. Circuit breakers and fuses don't always help, because while a lightweight cord may be overloaded to the point of overheating, the load may still be less than that at which a circuit breaker is designed to trip. Candles: Though attractive, candles can be dangerous. Don't place them near combustible materials, like trees and curtains. Also, place candles where they are not likely to be knocked over. Never leave candles burning unattended. rue places and wood stoves: Has your chimney been inspected lately? It is recommended that chimneys be inspected once yearly and cleaned of soot if necessary. Do not use your fire as an incinerator for discarded wrapping paper, which can produce large flames which can ignite soot deposits in your chimney. �CHANGE~.o1iCDBG REAL ESTATE TRANSFERS At their meeting on November 17, the City Commission unanimously voted to adopt a revised Citizen Participation Plan for CDBG (Community Development Block Grant)and HOME (Home Investment Partnerships) programs.

In the past few weeks, I have already learned that Mark will be a tough act to follow - but I will do my best. Wednesday, February 10 7:00p.m. Come prepared to discuss possible zoning changes and business development in the 19th & Haskell area. OLD MINUTES-- November 10,1998 The Treasurer's report was given. The minutes were approved as printed in the November newsletter, with one correction: the City is planning ONE new sanitary sewer line along Haskell Avenue, not two. The report of the Nominating Committee (Lila Patton, Freda Stalkfleet, Goldie Harmon) was given. Nominees for officers for 1999 are: Kirsten Roussel: Pres. Claud Aubry: V.P. Hazel Bryan: Sec. Susan Miller: Treas. The Treasurer requested an audit of the books, to be done after the first of the new year. The Auditors are Lila Patton and Freda Stalkfleet. Possible CDBG grant requests for the next fiscal year were proposed and discussed. These included: Operating Expenses; Coordinator's salary; a guard rail along Brook Creek at Brook Street, south; smoke detectors; park benches in the Brook Creek Pocket Park Joe Stebbens of the Boys & Girls Club spoke about the free lunches and breakfasts available to the children, and the need for a new facility. If the latter comes about it would not be at the present location, which is too close to the East Lawrence Recreation Center. Dempsey Micco, of 1441 Prairie, spoke about concerns of that area, which included no street lights, alley traffic, and trash. It was suggested that he get the City blight staff involved in the clean-up. Michael Almon presented the plans for calming rushhour traffic in the neighborhood. The Traffic Safety Commission meeting is December 7, at 7:30p.m., in the City Commission Room, and all concerned residents were urged to attend as our proposal is presented. It was decided that the Annual Holidays Party would be at the December 8th meeting and would start at 7:00 p.m. The meeting was adjourned. For those whom I have not met, here is a little about me. Glen and I moved from Arlington, MA to Lawrence in 1991 so that I could attend graduate school at KU in the chemistry department. We came to love the area so much that we decided to make Lawrence our long-term home. We moved into the Brook Creek area in 1994 - just 2 weeks before the birth of our son, Dale. I have since moved on from KU and now we run Spa, Pool & Fireside in doWntown Lawrence. I look forward to getting to know everyone at the BCNA meetings and functions. I want to help keep our neighborhood just that - a neighborhood. The results of the recent issues on the prison and, now, traffic calming, shows what a neighborhood can do when people work together. I am so encouraged that there are people in this neighborhood who care enough to be active on these types of issues. We have a wonderful traditional neighborhood and I hope that we can keep it that way.

Center Main Business: • Discussion of CDBG proposals for 2000/200 1 fiscal year • Election of nominating committee for officers and CDBG rep See articles following for more information about each item MINUTES September 8, 1999 Our annual pot-luck dinner was held at the Brook Creek Park Shelter House. Great food was enjoyed by all. Mitch Young, of the Parks and Recreation Department, spoke about the new mower the City's will use to deal with weeds in the park. The main order of business dealt with the neighborhood yard sale planned for September 18. The basic ground rules were explained and residents were given an opportunity to sign up to participate. AdminiJStration President: Vice President: Secretary: Treasurer: Coordinator: Mail Address: Phone: Office Hours: Kirstin Roussel Claud Aubry Hazel Bryan Susan Miller Julie Banhart 1944 Miller Dr. (66046) 841-4997 5:00-6:00 M-F The Start of a Successful Tradition? Thanks to all who helped make our neighborhood yard sale a big success! There were 24 families or individuals who showed up with itsms to sell. Rain threatened, but held off until about an hour after the sale was over. Thanks to both the 10% of all sales and the donations of all proceeds by 4 individuals, BCNA made approximately $112.00. After subtracting costs, we cleared about ~89.00, which will help cover the shortfall in our operating expenses budget. This was a learning experience, and we've learned what to change when we do this again. Each participant will keep all their things together, rather than separating them by type of item. Each participant will also be responsible for removing and disposing of all of their unsold items. For a first experience, this was great. Again, thanks to all who participated and contributed to the sale's success. NOMINATING COMMITTEE & NOMINATIONS NEEDED At the meeting on Oct. 13, we will select a nominating committee for officers for 2000. At the Nov. meeting, the committee will report. on the nominations. You can nominate someone by contacting members of the committee or the Coordinator. Voting will be dbne at the Dec. meeting. In addition to the 4 officers, we need to find a candidate to replace Jenna Coker as our representative on the CDBG committee, as her term is ending. This is a crucial need for the neighborhood. We need someone willing and able to put in the time at meetings and also be a strong advocate for neighborhood issues. �CDBG PROPOSALS DUE DECEMBER 1, 1999 CDBG proposals for 2000/2001 are due December 1. The officers and Coordinator will prepare those for Operating Expenses, Coordinator's Salary and Park Clean-Up. YOU need to come to the October meeting with suggestions for projects you would like to see done. These will be discussed and voted on at the meeting. For those the meeting approves, the person(s) proposing the project will be responsibh~ for gathering information necessary to complete the proposal. Completed information should be brought to the November meeting, when the membership will be asked to approve them. The Coordinator will get your proposals into the computer in the proper format so all can be submitted on December 1. 1. 2. There are very specific guidelines about what must be included in a proposal. These include: It must address how the proposal meets the "Step Up to Better Housing Strategy." For neighborhoods, this includes the needs of: • continued revitalization of target neighborhoods • education for homeowners & renters. • continued environmental code enforcement The strategies should include such things as: • promoting neighborhood improvement • encouraging neighborhood associations • improving the existing housing stock • continue crime prevention, etc. The proposal must also meet one of two national objectives: • Principally benefit low- and moderate-income persons. This means that at least 70% of beneficiaries are low- & moderate-income, and, for area-wide activities, at least 51% in the target area must be low- to moderate income .. • Aid in the prevention or elimination of slums or blight. t:. Provide supporting evidence that, for any area-wide benefit type (sidewalks, curbs, etc.) affected persons have been informed or and have had a chance to comment on proposed project. t:. Include evidence of the amount and nature of support for the proposed subject. t:. Specific locations of the proposed project should be submitted. t:. If a project is on or affects public right-of-way, structures, parks, etc., applicants must include approval from the appropriate City department. Key questions on the applicationthat must be answered before the proposal can be included in our application include: • Amount requested for the project. • Address ofthe proposed project • Description of project and how organization will carry it out (timetable, coordination, etc.). • How does it fit into the neighborhood plan? • Describe public support and public opposition to the specific project. • Describe process used to obtain opinions from residents & owners who are affected. How many favoried it? How many opposed? Be sure to1address how you obtained feedback from affected residents who did not attent the neighborhood meeting. • How is the project related to housing or neighborhood development. Use data whenever possible. • How does the project fit into the City strategy in "Step Up to Better Housing?" How did you arrive at the cost for the project? • As you start working on your project, if you have any question, please call Julie .(841 A997) and we will try to help you. Since the officers and Coordinator will be preparing the proposals for Operating Expenses, Coordinator's Salary, and Park Clean-Up, if you have any comments-- pro or con-- about these proposals, please call the Coordinator's office (841-4997) with those comments before our November meeting. �November 1999 GENEBAL MEETING Wednesday, November 10 7:00p.m. East Lawrence Hec.

The treasurer's report was given. The success of the yard sale was discussed. Copies of the neighborhood profile and revitalization plan were passed out with requests that members read them and be prepared to discuss modification or adoption at the November meeting. Possible CDBG proposals for the coming fiscal year were discussed and members were asked to develop any that they were interested in for presentation at the November meeting. Some issues that were raised included possible administrative funds for block captains, provision of smoke alarms, street lights on the 1200 block of Prairie and Brook, bicycle lanes on 15th and 19th streets, work on the drainage ditches and sidewalks. The fact that fire trucks cannot get down some of our streets that have parking on both sides was raised and the possibility of asking the Traffic Commission to make one side of these streets "no parking" was discussed. Nominations for officers for the coming year was discussed and will be discussed again at the November meeting. Notice was given that our neighborhood needs to find a replacement for Jenna Coker on the HAND Board and anyone interested in serving in that position was asked to call the Coordinator. Street repair was discussed. The City will do an asphalt overlay on any street on our list, but they could get no bid on chip and seal repairs. To get the asphalt overlay done, all we have to do is tell the City which blocks we want done. The question was raised about why just the comer of 12th & Brook got new asphalt. Dickie Heckler volunteered to find out the answer to that. Economic revitalization issues were briefly discussed, including the need for a grocery store, a motel and medical offices in our neighborhood. The meeting was adjourned. �REAL ESTATE TRANSFERS 929 Ward -- Ronald D. & Linda A. Lawrenz to Jeremy J. and Shelly A. Kintzel. 1805 E. 17th-- Jim Christian, Inc. to James B. & Lisa D.

Re-elected was Kirsten Roussel, President; Susan Miller, Treasurer; and Hazel Bryan, Secretary. Beth Ann Heckler was elected Vice President. Thanks were extended to Claud Aubry, who had chosen not to run again, for his terms as Vice President. Pedestrian and bicycle lane improvement was discussed. It was ascertained that this was of interest to the neighborhood. On the question of where we thought such lanes should be, it was reported that 15th and 19th Streets have been recommended by the Bicycle Advisory Committee. The meeting concurred with those recommendations. For pedestrian walkways, consideration of sidewalks west of Haskell, on 15th and east by East Heights School (the north side), as well as 12th and 13th at the tracks was urged. The question of school beacons was raised. It was reported that, if the neighborhood wished to take on such a project, the city may elect to pay half the cost (about $3,000, total), with the PTO or neighborhood association paying the rest. There was a general discussion about the CDBG proposals submitted for the next fiscal year. There was also a discussion of the value of a traffic circle as a traffic-calming measure. John McCiear gave us a good, reproducible, map of the neighborhood for the newsletter. The meeting was adjourned for the Holidays Party and all the good food that members had brought. �Brook Creek Breeze - FeJJtuary 2000 REAL ESTATE TRANSFERS 1404 Oak Hill Avenue-- Wayne E. and Nancy L.
