Guests: Ike Benton – Albuquerque City Councilor District 3, Sandi Pino – APD, Officer
Pholphiboun – APD, Officer Toya – APD, and Misty Salaz – UNMH
Meeting called to order: 7:00 pm
Board Minutes: The Board Minutes from 9/10/11 were approved.
Redistricting: Ike Benton explained how the City Council Redistricting is moving forward and how it could affect District 3 and our neighborhood. We could be placed into a west side district. We believe the Silver Hill Neighborhood is too unique and too fragile to be absorbed. We need to get involved by writing emails, submitting petitions, testifying in public comment meetings. The mayor can veto the Council’s plans to redistricting. Diane Dolan, Ike’s assistant, will provide information. Attachment 2
Crime Information: Sandi Pino, Officer Toya, & Officer Pholphiboun – Far reaching conversations including the crime map. This is a very flexible tool to let the community know what is happening in our neighborhood. Click on http://www.cabq.gov/police/crimeview/index.html, click on Crime View Community, select the type of crime, location of crimes by Neighborhood Association (Silver Hill), and date range of crimes. We also learned that just because a crime was reported the responding Officer can choose to not make a report. To insure a report is filed please request a copy of the report.
Officer Appreciation Day: We received a letter of thanks for our $75 contribution.
