From valerie at vanngroup.com Wed Oct 1 13:06:07 2008 From: valerie at vanngroup.com (Valerie Vann) Date: Wed, 01 Oct 2008 12:06:07 -0800 Subject: [OldNorthBoard] including 400 block of D References: Message-ID: <48E3D82F.3D04DA2A@vanngroup.com> Board, What I propose for discussion is a bylaws amendment to include (1) the North side of 7th Street between the RR and B Street within Old North Davis (full membership), and (2) a non-voting (i.e. non-Board eligible) Associate Membership for residents (only) within the adjacent areas of the Conservation District not covered by other neighborhood associations. (This would mainly pick up residents in the Downtown between 5th and the RR.)
