Message from City Council Uniting Neighbors

Dear Friends of Uniting Neighbors,


This email is being sent to all those who have attended Uniting Neighbors in the past months. I hope this email finds you all well. I want to thank you all for your attendance at Uniting Neighbors and for your efforts to make our city a better place to live (and work for some). Again, we apologize that our guest speaker this month fell through, but appreciate your attendance and the good discussion we had. I know many of you have specific interests in Emergency Preparedness, some in Neighborhood Watch and our hope is that over the coming months we can all help each other have a greater interest in both. The Goal of Uniting Neighbors is to help residents to be prepared for whatever emergency may come upon us.

As you all know, Marty Peterson is working feverishly to ensure each of your local area (church or neighborhood units) preparedness plans correspond with the City plan, to get residents educated about the plan and ensure it is implemented city wide. Please help us in encouraging your neighbors to attend UN meetings, to get involved and be prepared.

We are also trying to help residents get Neighborhood watch groups organized city wide. We have some groups established and functioning, but other areas do not hve any presence. If you are intereted in getting a group set up, we are happy to help, offer ideas, or attend a startup meeting, just let me know.

Please remember that Uniting Neighbors is the 2nd Wednesday every month at City Hall. Kent, Marty and I are working on getting some classes and training set up that will be beneficial and interesting to all. Please plan to join us and please invite your neighbors as well. In March, we are planning to have Officer Everett (our Gang Enforcement Officer) attend to provide training on Gang awareness and a discussion on what is happening in NSL.

Finally, if you are a Neighborhood Watch Coordinator, would you please let me know. We are trying to determine who the watch coordinators are.

Thank you and please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions, ideas or comments on Uniting Neighbors in NSL.
