Call to order:.

1. Agenda Changes (3 minutes)
   1. Approval of Minutes (2 minutes)
2. Buena Vista Mobile Home Park Redevelopment (20 minutes) (Lynnie Melena)  Over the past month, and specifically at the last meeting, there has been a lot of discussion about this proposed project.  There are issues with impacts on the neighborhood and displacement of current residents (discussed at the last meeting). Is the Board interested in hosting a community meeting to which we would invite the developers to present their plans, and questions could be answered? (The City Council will be holding a study session on this project, possibly in late November.)
3. Temporary Restrooms at Bol Park (10 minutes) As part of a long email discussion on restrooms at Bol Park, a suggestion was made for the Barron Park Association to pay for porta-potties to be installed on a trial basis to see how they are received. This will not be a discussion about permanent restrooms.
4. Recap of 2012 Quakeville (5 minutes) (Lydia Kou) Quakeville was held in September. Lydia was the key organizer and has received high praise.
5. New Board Members and Officers (10 minutes) (Lynnie Melena) Update on recruitment efforts. Lynnie wishes to resign as President—preferably by March 1, which is the official start date for new terms.
6. Status reports and updates on these items are being handled primarily through e-mail.  Opportunity for direction and interactions. (5 minutes)
