MPNA Meeting Minutes 11-Sep-2008

MPNA Meeting 11-Sep-2008:

  • Portland Parks’ Emily Roth will attend the next MPNA meeting on 9th Oct. to present the selected bridge design & location, and also the first draft of the park plan.
  • MPNA will brainstorm some ideas for Kiosk design, so we can discuss this with the Parks Dept as part of the Park Plan.
  • Treasurer report:   We need to collect details of MPNA expenses, donated items, and volunteer hours, for NNO.   Neighbors should send any applicable information to marshallparkna@yahoo.com 
  • Land Use: – A neighbor cut down some trees and was found guilty of an environmental conservation zone violation.  The neighbor will be required to replant trees.     
  •  Crime: – Neighbors are reminded to call 503-823-SAFE if they want to report obscured views and obscured signs, that make driving more hazardous.   Also if you park your car all day near a bus stop, please make sure everything is stowed away out of sight in the trunk. 
  • National Night Out: – The NNO picnic was a rousing success.    Over 70 people attended and had a great time.   A few suggestions to remember next year - start cooking earlier; maybe need a second grill; keep ice cream colder; collect more prizes for raffle. 
  • MPNA volunteers: – Names are being collected for 2008-2009 positions?    If anyone is interested in becoming more involved, please contact the current chair, Mike Charles at marshallparkna@yahoo.com
