OTHER BUSINESS: Commissioner Everett referred to the last Commissioner’s meeting discussion regarding Harcatus Tri County Community Action’s request for the use of three parking spaces in the Fair Avenue parking lot. Commissioner Everett has spoken with Jane Clay, Executive Assistant/Park Coordinator and Ms. Clay believes the parking lot is probably full. Commissioner Everett said the county needs to resolve the issue of the four spaces formerly used by Tischbein State Farm before they can proceed with the request from Harcatus. Commissioner Everett asked if there is a list of county employees that park in the Fair Avenue lot. Commissioner Abbuhl said the county employees have a choice of which lot (Fair or Front Ave.) they park in. There are not assigned spots for county employees, but Ms. Clay said there are several spots assigned for county departmental use. Commissioner Everett would like an inventory of how many spaces the county has in both lots and how many spaces are used by county

The West Side Community Collaborative is an organization that deserves much respect. It has drastically reduced the crime rate on the streets of the west side, making it a much more welcoming place to live. I believe the most fascinating aspect of the WSCC, is that the renovated houses are often sold far below their new market value. This allows low income families to purchase a home that they can feel safe in, and potentially live in forever. As the families slowly continue to renovate the homes, the value goes up and the family ends up owning a house that they could sell for three times what they bought for if they wanted to. This is something that has never been done before, yet it is working so well! As more people invest in the cheap houses, even more people want a house of their own. The west side is quickly becoming the hot spot to be in Buffalo.

The history of Farmingville, New York started in 1791, when areas of the town became part of the “Great Division of Land” that was laid out. The first settlers did not come to the town until 1770, however. At the time, the area was used for farming. Unfortunately, the land was not suitable for crops, so many families turned to raising animals. The area got its first school district in 1813. In the early 1900s, the town got its first electrical installation and fire department, and development of the Farmingville Gardens.[1]

While the front space of Coney Island received care and attention, the back space was ignored and left to decay; some even refer to the residential areas as the forgotten Coney Island. The native inhabitants experience stands in direct contrast with the recovery of the tourism industry on the island. Goffman states that "very commonly the back region of a performance is located at one end of the place where the performance is presented, being cut off from it by a partition and guarded passageway" (Goffman 53). Coney Island’s Surf Avenue serves as a partition separating the native residents and the tourists. The Coney Island that we all know and love is located South of Surf Ave and stretches west towards West 37th Street, and east towards Ocean

I want to introduce myself to you. I am the Woonsocket Health Equity Zone (HEZ) Manager at Thundermist Health Center. The Woon HEZ collaborative uses a place base approach in order to ensure that all neighborhoods become the kinds of places that enable all children and families to succeed and thrive. This requires intentional efforts to build, sustain and operationalize certain types of community capacity. The HEZ grant renewal process is underway and one of our required year 2 activities around improving physical activity in the community is for the collaborative to engage the City to develop a plan to improve non-motorized transportation in priority areas. It has come to our attention that a few years ago the YWCA conducted and developed a Walkability plan for Woonsocket and that parts of that plan has been integrated into the

"They grin and say hi, because they have been promised that we will be gone soon."(Earni Young). There are also people trying to help long time homeowners.. This year, Council President Darrell L. Clarke, who also represents the city's 5th Council District, joined with six other Council members to spearhead passage of legislation to create 2,000 units of affordable housing in gentrifying areas. This will be more difficult than it was during the '90s, when the federal government funded a bevy of affordable housing programs. Over the past decade, federal funding has dried up and the city's Community Block Grant has been whittled to $49 million, compared to $85.5 million in 1996. Cities now mainly rely on Low-Income-Tax Credits to support development of affordable rental and for-sale housing. Council's plan would help projects take advantage of those credits, as well as money for the city's Housing Trust Fund, to build 1000 units each of rental and for-sale housing close to job centers(Earni
