OCTOBER 6, 1987
The Pre -Council Meeting scheduled for October 6, 1987

the following members present:
Mayor Spero Canton
Stephen Loffredo
Robert S. Butler, Jr.
Karen Kirby
Marty Stofik
Also present Elly F. Johnson, Village Manager
Dottie Yates, Crime Watch Coordinator
Using a Village map, Mrs. Stofik presented the concept
of a neighborhood conservation program. A program which
would designate 20 geographically defined neighborhoods
throughout the Village. The concept would build on the dl•f-
ferent assets and concerns of each of the 12-13 block areas.
Positive benefits of the concept would Include communication
between neighbors, improved crime watch, encouragement of
code enforcement and beautification programs. Mrs. Stofik
suggested this be used as a mechanism for discussion of
limited access proposals and In turn to discuss the conser-
vation program. A zoning overlay or a Resolution identifying
the established neighborhoods could be completed. Geo-
graphic and historic names would identify the designated
areas.
There was much positive discussion on the program. Mr.
Johnson suggested waiting until after the limited access
study was presented before specifically setting up the
neighborhoods. Dr. Butler warned that the program might be
misconstrued as a negative subdivision of the Village. Mr.
Loffredo expressed concern over public reception and
recommended reviewing with the public before implementation.
Mayor Canton recommended developing a plan for
follow-up. He felt the program had potential for organizing
spirited groups for self policing of neighborhoods, mobile
patrol and code watch.
There was discussion on promoting the concept through
the Sun Fest and Unity Day.
Mrs. Stofik sugested the limited access discussions be
held with these neighborhoods and that each Council member
conduct four discussions over a period of a month. Mayor
Canton advised that further discussion of the limited access
proposal would be presented at the Council Meeting.
The meeting adjourned at 7:15 p.m.
