Ayes have it for approval. PRESIDENT’s REPORT Few items: We have a lot of things in the vision plan and so we are asking if you have suggestions for Advisory Board Members to the board of the SWP that can offer specialties to SWP, please submit to Michael Seipp. Need to create a finance workgroup to support the Treasurer and Executive Director in preparation of budget, preparation for annual audits, looking over expenditures, making recommendations to the board, etcetera. Treasurer would make those recommendations to the board from the workgroup. George appointed to chair the workgroup by the President. Contact Southwest Partnership at the [email protected] email address if interested in joining the workgroup. Need to establish a Fund Development Group. Leonard Taylor agreed to be the chair of the group. A question was asked if anyone had any issues with an anchor institution chairing the group. No opposition from the assembly. E-‐mail the Southwest Partnership at the [email protected] email address. Please consider whether or not you want to be a part of this workgroup as it will meet primarily during daytime hours.

TREASURER’s REPORT Budget Protocols presented to the board. Document attached to these minutes. Jane Buccheri raised a question about indicating the number of bids to request when an RFP is sent out for bids. There is a hesitance to put in a definitive number according to George Kleb. Lisa: Rawlings suggested setting budget approvals by December; limits should be placed on money that the Executive Director can sign, for example, $10,000, without another signature; should have a second signer on checks; Don’t think we need a separate process for functional contracts unless they meet a certain threshold. Lisa Also thinks that the committee budgets need a due date. Thinks we need some limitations on who can submit a grant proposal, for example. Does every grant proposal need to go through a workgroup? Josh Harris agreed with Lisa Rawlings on max limits as well as having two people to sign off on items. Suggested include some wording in special contracts that local contracts be sought first before going outside of the [SWP/Baltimore] area. Stacy Smith: Do we adopt the protocol of Fusion for budgets? Need to talk to them to find out per Treasurer. President: Seems to be consensus to this budget proposal. George will take the feedback and incorporate into the protocols. Leonard Taylor moved to authorize the Executing Director to act in accordance with what is in the budget protocols as interim guidance. Seconded by Stacy. Motion approved unanimously. Early budget draft of 2016 presented. Current expenditures presented. Suggestion made by Leonard Taylor to remove the budget line items showing anchor institutions amounts pledged. Treasurer is will to do so. COMMUNITY ROUNDTABLE The Community Roundtable is a synopsis of things that are going on in each individual community. Anything relative to your community that needs to be brought to the attention to the partnership (events, concerns, etc.) that are relevant to the community. Please send any events info to [email protected] e-‐mail address for announcements to the community. Philicia will get them out to the community. Barre Circle: Discussions with Camden Crossings on how they can integrate into the community. Franklin Square: In August, the neighborhood is having annual Ruth Kirk event. 2nd weekend in August.

Graduation program in the works for Youthworkers that Franklin Square has been utilizing to clean up community. University of Maryland has been engaged with children at Franklin Square Elementary School Hollins Roundhouse: asking SWP to help keep the Orange Route circulator stops in the neighborhood that the Hollins Roundhouse Association approved to take a position on. Also asking SWP to work with the other neighborhoods to see where route expansion can be made. Mike Seipp noted that a letter from the SWP was already sent to DOT regarding the circulator. Waiting for DOT to advise the partnership when there can be a meeting to talk about the circulator. Pigtown: Summer Concert Series in Carroll Park. August 13. Last one. Seating and performance will be positioned between Mt. Clare Mansion and the Pavilion. Poppleton: Service requests put in for Model Park about the high grass.

Anyone getting more than three citations will cause patients to be kicked out of the clinic in an attempt to manage patient populations at addiction centers. Jane Buccheri asked if any conversations with BBH have occurred to see if they are going to be willing to participate in the same rounding on their facilities. Matthew Achhammer asked if there’s a way to identify the patients doing this? Can the community submit photos to the clinic to make them aware of the people engaging in activities beyond the boundaries of the clinic? Leonard Taylor is open to receiving photos. James Pitts mentioned that the corner of South Arlington and West Pratt is still a problem. Would like the Southwest Partnership to help with that corner. Matthew Achhammer wants to present letters to the owners of the clinic that the problems with the high traffic and drug issues at the corner of West Pratt Street and South Arlington Avenue. He indicated that he was speaking as a resident and not for any organization. David Shackleford: There are security cameras on West Pratt, and B&O has partnered with the Robotics Center to provide safe passage to visitors attending events at the Robotics Center. Trying to tie cameras in to the city watch system. We would like to move away from high security at the museum because it’s expensive. Michael Seipp: Planned to meet with the Abell Foundation the continuing problems at West Pratt Street and South Arlington Avenue after Christopher Redwood asked him to remind Robert Embry about the problems at the corner. Embry’s response was that BBH has signed an agreement that they will leave by September 30th. The reason they are still there is because they put pressure on Abell by way of the city to keep BBH on the site even though they were behind on their rent. SWP will convene a meeting with Abell, SWP, Police, elected official(s), and stakeholders to discuss the ongoing problem at South Arlington and West Pratt. Jane Shabb: Looking to rent the spaces at 1101 W. Pratt in order to provide office space for tenants from the Biopark once BBH moves. UM Baltimore: Looking at moving an Urban Extension Center into former goodwill space on North Poppleton and West Baltimore Street. UEC is modeling off Drexel U model to work on cutting edge solutions to problems by using faculty and staff at anchor institutions to help abate community issues. Monthly seminars possible. Expungment workshops. Tax law clinic. Legal clinic, HR teams open once a week to help community members with resume writing, interviewing techniques, etc. Will be forming a committee at UMB and will extend invitation to neighborhoods to participate in committee. UM Biopark: Employees at Biopark have taken on the Back 2 School program at the JMH elementary school three years in a row. A team of people from the parent’s council who have been working with the principal to see what their needs are to provide them with what they need. Wexford: Reiterated what Jane Shabb said about the Biopark. Amazed at the interest of the tenants to want to interact with the students at James McHenry Elementary.

Bon Secours: Final reader for zoning for Old St. Martin’s church on 28 July at City Council. B&O: Partnering with Parks and People on razing the canopy in the B&O underpass area to help mitigate the erosion issues on the hill facing the SWB Charter School. No additional progress with the upgrade to the B&O Underpass at this time. President introduced Senator Pugh to the assembly. Senator Pugh: Welcomed Michael to the SWP. Looking at ways to address vacant houses in the city. EPA contacted by Pugh to see what can be done to get the upper floor of Hollins Market up-‐and-‐running. Thanked the partnership for the work that it’s doing. EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR’s REPORT:
1) Following up with the foundations that met with the partnership to give them an update on how we have moved from the vision plan to action. Three foundations have expressed interest in supporting the partnership with funding: Abell Foundation, Weinberg Foundation, and Casey Foundation. More to come. Concrete “asks” for funding/support will be dependent upon the SWP focus committees narrowing down their goals.
2) Garrett Napp, director of Office of Smart growth at UM College Park. Will help the Housing Committee meet their goal of creating GIS mapping to help attract dollars to help reduce vacants in the SWP focus area. Classes start in September.
3) Trying to get city agencies to assign persons to us that the SWP can engage in and not have to go through the bureacracy of finding the right person to go to in the city. Michael Braverman has agreed to making this happen in the Housing department. One person for all seven neighborhoods, can give them our wish list for abatement and action, etc.
4) Working to set up a meting with Major Dombrowski of the Southern District Police Department to address street crime. Dombrowski was the architect of Safe Zones back in the day. Those zones did help change the nature of life on the street. Lasted 6 weeks, but the outcomes went to 9 months after the end of the program before the streets began to get bad again.
5) Fund Development Group. Feels this group is needed in order to follow up with the foundations so that these entities see a commitment from both the SWP communities and the institutions toward the longevity of the partnership.
VISION PLAN CELEBRATION REPORT Postponed until 26 September to make a better event. Will still be held at Carroll Park. Blown-‐up portions of the vision plan will be visible to attendees. Need members of the community willing to speak about parts of the vision plan to volunteer their time. See attached report for more details. COMMITTEE REPORTS Committee reports provided to board members ahead of meeting in PPT documents for review and comments. Stacy Smith wishes to be put on the agenda for next month to present her report as she could not stay to present owing to the late hour.
