was passed around during the meeting.
Meeting began at 7:00 P.M. - Community Watch Info - The name of our group is "Pleasant Ridge & Ramsgate Community Watch Programs." Tabitha went over the watch area listing all the streets we cover and mentioned that we do have quite a large area for our watch group. Jason went over the registration for the Raleigh Neighborhood Association. You can view the certificate that we received. The benefits include a listing in the Raleigh registry and we can apply for a matching grant fund for our watch program. Jason is going to apply for the grant for our group. Jason also went over the mailing list for the group that he established and went over how it works, how to join, and how to remove you email address from this list.
- Community Watch Signs - Tabitha and Jason presented information on getting the street and mailbox signs for members of the Community Watch group. We went over costs, sizes, and ordering. We agreed that signs would be ordered during our next meeting. Tabitha also went over putting up "info signs" throughout the neighborhood and asked for volunteers to put this information in their yard.
- CAC Meeting - went over what the CAC meetings are and passed along that the next CAC meeting is on May 12, 2003 at 7:30 P.M. The location is the Carolina Pines Community Center.
- Police Activity - Jeannie presented information about the number of calls to RPD in our area from December 2002 until the end of February (2003). There were a total of 109 calls - for many reasons - including burglary, alarms, overdose, and warrants served. We will get a printout of the most recent calls for our area for each meeting.
- Beat Officer - The beat officer was not available to come tonight.
- Open Fourm - Members discussed the need for traffic calming and speed reduction along Sierra Drive. We also discussed the Lake Wheeler widening and showed concerns about the new apartment complex the is being built off Lake Wheeler near Carolina Pines.
- Meeting Adjourned - We set the date for our next meeting: May 5, 2003. We decided to hold another meeting in June, then switch to quarterly meetings after that. Finally, we decided to stop trying to acquire the Carolina Pines Community Center and ask the Pentecostal Church if we could continue to use their facilities.
