III. Progress on previously identified problems.

A. 1345 W. Lunt: People continue to hide and loiter in the vestibule of the “block” building. Kevin: any idea of who’s selling so we can notify Mr. Block (the owner)?
Citizen: not at this time. Sgt. Cooper: in the past month we’ve made three arrests, so there has been more progressive activity in that area. Kevin: If citizens living nearby can get us more details, perhaps we can hone in on the illicit activities within the building.
Citizen: the 2nd and 3rd floors of the second tier are in question: e.g. holes in window screens to keep a “look out.” The good neighbors that live in the building are apprehensive to come forward for their own safety.

IV. Focus Topics:
NEW ISSUES.
1. Citizen: How about getting a monthly walk together? Kevin: How does Friday evenings at 7 pm sound?

Citizen: Let’s start with the first Friday of the month: June 2nd. We’ll meet in front of 1340 W. Morse, walk east to Sheridan and then west on Lunt.
Kevin: Can we get an on street roll call? Officer Steve Cohen: I’ll request it.
2. Citizen: What can we do to turn around all the negative media on Rogers Park? Response: There is no way to control news media. Citizens also responded: Make Rogers Park known has a community offering diverse activities.

A. Rene: Celebrate Clark Street, June 25th. This festival highlights our own Clark Street with food and a variety of music including Jazz, Hispanic, and Rock&Roll. Clark will be closed off from Morse Avenue to Touhy Avenue. Celebrate Clark Street is being sponsored by DevCorp North, the Alderman’s office, and the Clark Street Merchants Association. Flyers will be available at the Alderman’s office and the Rogers Park Community Council, 1530 W. Morse. More....
B. Citizen: 13th Annual Artists of the Wall Festival, June 17 & 18. This family oriented festival celebrates the beginning of summer in Rogers Park by painting selected areas of the breaker wall on the beach Saturday morning. There will be stage music both days. This event is sponsored by the Loyola Park Advisory Council, the Rogers Park Community Council (RPCC), the Chicago Park District and the Mayor’s Office of Special Events.
