Prior to commencement of the meeting, Michael Livingston recognized the long service of former board chair Bruce Hoffman, who resigned this week, and the service of former board members Bob Hanna, Bill Holmstrom and Jaqui Eicher.
The regular meeting of the CANDO Board of Directors was called to order at 6:00 p.m., on Tuesday, February 18, 2020, at the First Christian Church at 685 Marion Street NE, Salem. The Chair and Secretary-Treasurer were present.
The agenda and minutes of the December and January meetings were approved unanimously.
The board heard a presentation by Alan Alexander on Salem Parks Foundation’s grant program for neighborhood parks. SPF grants operate exclusively through neighborhood associations. SPF has adjusted the timing of its grant application period with that of the Salem Parks Improvement Fund to allow neighborhood associations time to find out whether or not they will be receiving a SPIF grant (the Foundation provides matching funds for SPIF grants as well as for independent projects). SPF also provides small (non-matching) grants for projects like picnic tables, benches and trash receptacles (in the $2-$4K).
Michael’s motion to adopt CANDO Resolution 20-1 (recommending against City-sponsored organized camping) and Sarah’s motion to allocate $150 from communications fund for use of the Ike Box Ballroom for CANDO’s 2/23 Ward 1 Candidates Forum both passed unanimously.
