Agenda:

* Opening Remarks by 7 th Ward Council Member Lisa Goodman (see PDF)

Lisa gave a brief presentation on the power of an individual Lowry Hill Neighbor, working with Lisa and the City to tackle the Gas Guzzling, Carbon Emitting and Obnoxious Noise Polluting Lawn and Snow Service Blowers that destroy our Peace and Quiet in the Lowry Hill Neighborhood. They are now engaging the major lawn services to hopefully transition to much quieter, energy efficient battery powered blowers by tapping into the $150,000 City Clean Energy Partnership.

*Treasurer Toni D’Eramo’s Financial Report (see PDF)
