General comments by Jane Lowenthal.
A. Minutes will be submitted from our 6-18-03 and 7-11-03 meetings. Motion to approve will be made.
B. Treasurer's report and "pass the hat" as it is our only funding source..
1.An opportunity for board members that have failed to attend the last 3 meetings to state the rease for their absence. The remaining Board members will then vote on their removal is their absence is in violation of the bylaws.
The Directors that have had 3 or more consecutive absences are: Andy Anderson, Dorothy Boberg, Estelle Lit, Frank Mc Ginnis, Jim Mertzel, and Marilyn Stout.
2. Update on certification process and appeal.
3. The following 4 items are placed by Jim Alger. While Mr. Alger publicly opposes our council, he is a stakeholder and has a right under our bylaws to place these items on the agenda. The other councils he admires Porter Ranch and Old Northridge do NOT allow a stakeholder to place an item on the agenda without the directors approval. He refers to us as the "former" council. Until our appeal is decided in court, we are still the only council applying for certification from Northridge.
3a) Proposal to disband the non certified Northridge Neighborhood Council.
3b) Proposal to encourage former members of the Northridge Neighborhood Council to assist in the formation of a new council.
3c) Motion to reconsider to support the appeal of Charles Brink in raising the issues of legal concern before a court of law, but as a citizen of Northridge and not in the name of the now former Northridge Council.
3d) Request that the website "www.northridgecouncil.org" be temporarily closed pending reformation of a council or councils to represent Northridge. ( This was also requested by Rita Moreno of DONE.)
Special meeting to demand correction of the fals claim of a new group to be Northridge Neighborhood Council
