KMCA Executive Committee Minutes

In Attendance: Gabriel Kengni, Ariel Winter, Marilyn Lawlor, Selena Snow, Jim Priestley

Mr. Kengni asked for information on the election process. Mr. Winter distributed copies of the Kemp Mill Constitution and By-laws and highlighted the required steps for the nomination/election process, i.e., appointment of a Nominating Committee Chairman, publication of the candidates names at least 10 days prior to the election and consideration of nominations from the floor, with a second, at the General Election meeting. Three positions are up for consideration. Ms. Snow and Mr. Priestley have offered to serve again for the next 2 year term. The third position is vacant at this time. Mr. Kengni will contact Alec Stone and request his service as Nominating Committee Chairman and will also post a message on the internet regarding the upcoming election and solicit interested candidates who could then contact Mr. Stone. The KMCA newsletter will include the names of the candidates and will be published at least 10 days prior to the meeting.

Mr. Winter distributed an outline of the contents for the May Newsletter and noted that all items must be provided to Ariel/Gail by March 31. One potential new advertiser was identified by Ms. Lawlor.

FEEDBACK ON HERMLEIGH NEIGHBORHOOD MEETING

Mr. Winter provided the Board with updated information regarding options considered by the Hermleigh neighbors to cope with pedestrian traffic. This was for information only and no follow-up action is necessary for the KMCA.

SPEAKERS FOR THE GENERAL MEETING

Michael Auslin has contacted the Community Liaison Office of the Police Department to arrange for 2 Officers to speak. We will also try to obtain a speaker from the Park Service. The suggestion to also obtain Maryland Delegation speakers for the meeting was tabled at this time since it was believed that insufficient time was available. We will consider them for future meetings.

MEETING BOOKINGS

Mr. Kengni explained the difficulties encountered in booking the last meeting of the KMCA. Apparently the request for the gymnasium (submitted by Mr. Kengni) and necessary rental fee check (submitted by Ms. Lawlor) were not received at the same time. In the future, the request and check will be combined and sent together.

NEW ACTION

Ms. Snow remarked that the timing of the "Walk Lights" is too short to allow reasonable and safe crossing at the intersection of Lamberton and Arcola and the intersection of Kemp Mill and Hermleigh. Mr. Winter will send a letter to Ms. Natalie Cantor of the Mid County Services Center requesting a study of the timing of the lights.
