RNCT will continue with current officers--principally, Jane Rivera (Chair), Dusty McCormick (Vice-chair), Linda Hutchins (Secretary)--until the next meeting. A new position will appear on the ballet for Treasurer, in order to handle expected increasing RNCT revenues from the new neighborhood newsletter et cetera. There is currently about $1200 in the RNCT account. The Chair asked for volunteers to sit with the Austin Neighborhood Council East Sector meetings. Jim Eastburn and Gilbert Rivera consented to attend and represent the RNCT. Discussion ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Trinity White, from the US Census team, spoke about this year's survey effort. In addition to determining government apportionment across the land, the results of the 2010 Census will direct the investment of some $300B in federal infrastructure spending. Ms. White also called for citizens to apply for census worker positions, which will span from April through June and pay $12-20/hour and $0.50/mile. Ethan Horne spoke on his group's efforts to redevelop two adjacent lots at E. 22nd Street and Curtis, specifically addressed at 280 East 22nd. In order to place four residential units (which includes one duplex) Horue would like the neighborhood to consent to modifying the FAR to increase interior space from 8000sf to 10,000sf. Austin Heights meets on this item on March 9th; follow-up will appear before the RNCT at the next meeting opportunity. *Meeting adjourned at 7:37 p.m.*
