FEBRUARY 2 0 0 9 Vol. 37 Issue 2 [email protected] Newsletter of Inman Park Neighborhood Association P.O. Box 5358 Atlanta, GA 31107 www.inmanpark.org Please send IPNA/Security Patrol payments to: 167 Elizabeth St., N.E., Atlanta, GA 30307. Do not send them to the P.O box number. PRESIDENT’S REPORT By Lisa Burnette This month, a few words on Parliamentary Procedure. Don’t stop reading! I know that sounds incredibly boring. Fortunately, we almost never resort to full-on Robert’s Rules at IPNA meetings. Most of our motions are mundane and uncontested: approving the minutes, supporting the appointment of a chairperson, or adjourning the meeting. However, every so often we have an important decision to make, about which our membership does not all agree. We had a large number of new faces at last month’s meeting when this occurred, and I thought it might be helpful to pass on a few notes about how IPNA handles motions and votes. Who can vote? Only IPNA resident members in good standing can vote on IPNA issues. However, any decision that goes on to the NPU (such as zoning, liquor licenses, or the like) for their consideration and vote, any resident, property owner, or business owner can vote. There is no absentee voting allowed at any time. How do we vote? Our By-laws leave this to the discretion of the Board, so we can do voice vote, show of hands, or written vote depending on what is appropriate under the circumstances. Where votes may be close, the Board may require some proof of eligibility to vote. Finally, how does a matter come to a vote? Our By-laws provide that generally we have “normal conversation”. Someone can move with a second (but no vote) to invoke Robert’s Rules of Order. I have never seen this become necessary, but we do try to follow those rules to some degree to maintain order and procedure in our discussions and voting procedures. ANYONE (except me as the presiding officer) can make a motion to support or oppose a proposition, with or without conditions. Some of you may feel intimidated in doing so. DON’T! It is your right. In fact, I encourage new people to “practice” at our next meeting. Raise your hand and move to approve the minutes this month! A motion on a bigger decision can be made at any time during the conversation, but generally we try to allow discussion first so the group can come to some consensus on what the appropriate motion should be. Once a motion is made, someone else must second that motion (try it sometime – it’s fun!). Once seconded, we often continue discussion for a brief period and then proceed to vote. At the last meeting, after discussion, I asked to call the question. What that meant is, “Are we done discussing and ready to vote?” Finally, once a motion has been made and seconded, Robert’s Rules do allow the motion to be amended – if the person who originally made the motion agrees to the amendment or modification, he/she can say so. Or, another motion can be made to amend/modify the original motion and after a second, the group can vote to allow the amendmen. That’s your lesson for now. I’m always proud that even when we disagree, we can have orderly and productive conversations and voting. MEET AND GREET KWANZA HALL BEFORE THE IPNA MEETING ON FEBRUARY 18 at 7:00 P.M. Our city councilperson Kwanza Hall will meet with IP neighbors for the 30 minutes preceding the IPNA meeting. Starting at 7:00 p.m. at the IP United Methodist Church. Kwanza will talk about the City's current financial status; upcoming FY 10 budget deliberations; Zone 6 public safety issues and more, and will be available to answer any questions you have. 2009 FESTIVAL MEETING By Danny Feig-Sandoval Okay folks, two and a half months and counting until the 2009 Inman Park Festival and Tour of Homes. I am excited to announce that all is on track for another great Festival, our 38th!! The only way Festival can succeed is if everyone signs up to volunteer. We are considered the largest all-volunteer festival in Georgia and perhaps the southeast. It takes over 800 people to make this festival run smoothly. Please sign up now on our website at inmanpark.org or at inmanparkfestival.org. Contact our volunteer coordinator, Judy Clements, at [email protected] or call her at 404-523-9922 if you have any questions about volunteering. Don’t sit back and lose out on those prize volunteer slots as they will go fast. Sign up today. We also are offering small businesses a great opportunity to sponsor Festival as Friends of Festival. This is a great opportunity for great exposure to the community at some very affordable rates so please check it out. For more information, please contact Carrington Moore at: [email protected]. I have included in this month’s Advocator the Festival ‘09 Planning Committee list so you can see how many great neighbors volunteer so much of their time for eight months of the year to make Festival such a great event. If you would like to get involved in any of these committees or have any feedback for them, please do not hesitate to contact committee chairs. Take a moment to thank them as well for their efforts as they are so deserving of your praise. If you would like to help out with Festival planning or need more information, contact me at [email protected] or 404-791-8497. 2009 INMAN PARK FESTIVAL COMMITTEE FESTIVAL HOTLINE: 770-635-3711 COMMITTEE CHAIRS PHONE CELL E-MAIL Chair Danny Feig-Sandoval 404-521-1949 404-791-8497 [email protected] 2010 Chair Nick Franz 404-827-9239 404-578-7028 [email protected] ** MARKETING ** Marketing Terry Sagedy 404-234-7345 404-234-7345 [email protected] Advertising Keith Burnette 404-659-9415 678-641-4122 [email protected] Public Relations Chris & Carol McEntee 404-888-8158 404-909-2182 [email protected] Hotline Lisa Burnette 404-659-9415 404-277-0112 [email protected] Website Doug McLaughlin 404-688-7900 404-518-1628 [email protected] " Steve Stern 404-614-0504 404-614-0584 [email protected] ** SALES ** Sponsors Kassi Buchtinec 770-313-4167 770-313-4167 [email protected] " Susanna Capelouto 404-681-4482 404-788-3468 [email protected] Friends of Festival Carrington Moore 678- 641-7923 [email protected] Beer Tom Baldwin 404-681-2918 404-918-4283 [email protected] Sales Yvonne Merkel 404-223-3214 404-285-8283 [email protected] " Ivey Claire Eldridge 404-581-9929 404-697-2217 [email protected] " Tammie Blair 404-444-4461 [email protected] ** BOOTHS ** Food Vendors Marnie McMurry 404-523-8324 404-610-9932 [email protected] " Bill McMurry 404-523-8324 404-610-6532 [email protected] Arts & Crafts / Street Market Christel Sundin 404-524-8551 404-849-6233 [email protected] " Rob Craig 404-524-8551 770-722-4488 [email protected] ** ENTERTAINMENT ** Butterfly Ball Karin Mebius 404-584-0355 404-406-1755 [email protected] Caterpillar Ball Laura Lancaster Archer 404-524-4564 678-592-7851 [email protected] Children’s Activities Diane Floyd 404-581-0576 404-798-1939 [email protected] Dance Festival Carolyn McLaughlin 404-688-7900 404-663-1155 [email protected] Entertainment Steve Ellison 404-525-3797 404-431-6806 [email protected] Parade Holly Mull 678-644-5809 [email protected] Theater Night Cathy Bradshaw 404-524-4190 404-457-7041 [email protected] Home Tour Jan Keith 404-688-7330 404-769-8370 [email protected] Pat Westrick 404-523-4801 404-388-6466 [email protected] ** PLANNING ** Green Festival Karen Taber 404-577-8721 [email protected] Volunteers Judy Clements 404-523-9922 404-451-5525 [email protected] ** FINANCE ** Treasurer David Hudson 404-524-3205 404- 702-9155 [email protected] ATM Sandy Hoke 404-521-1566 404-558-1566 [email protected] ** OPERATIONS ** Busses Randy Bailey 404-754-2134 [email protected] Clean Up Chuck Reece 404-659-2346 404-434-3535 [email protected] Communications George Gary 404-5845381 404-308-1696 [email protected] Electrical Bob Bodimer 404-867-8466 404-867-8466 [email protected] Fire Ants Richard Westrick 404-523-4801 404-625-4315 [email protected] Golf Carts Dan Fossitt 404-915-8154 [email protected] Richard Westrick 404-523-4801 404-625-4315 [email protected] Joel Awards Lisa Burnette 404-659-9415 404-277-0112 [email protected] Photography & Tech James McManus 404-550-4570 [email protected] Rentals Melissa Miller 404-524-8878 404-276-7736 [email protected] Security & Traffic Kristine Sandage 404-525-8097 678-521-4329 [email protected] Joe Spillane 404- 502-4492 [email protected] Signs Faye Evans 404-386-1666 [email protected] Drew Evans 404-386-1028 [email protected] Trash & Recycling Jane Bradshaw 404-493-5496 [email protected] Water Oreon Mann 404-522-3469 404-402-6486 [email protected] MINUTES OF THE JANUARY 21, 2009 IPNA MEETING By Stephanie McCaa, Secretary WELCOME AND INTRODUCTION OF NEWCOMERS Lisa Burnette announced there will be a vote tonight regarding approval of an application for a liquor license.

    THE ATLANTA PRESERVATION CENTER’S Phoenix2017 Flies A CELEBRATION OF ATLANTA’S HISTORIC SITES FREE CITY-WIDE EVENTS PRESERVEATLANTA.COM Welcome to Phoenix Flies ust as the Grant Mansion, the home of the Atlanta Preservation Center, was being constructed in the mid-1850s, the idea of historic preservation in America was being formulated. It was the invention of women, specifically, the ladies who came J together to preserve George Washington’s Mount Vernon. The motives behind their efforts were rich and complicated and they sought nothing less than to exemplify American character and to illustrate a national identity. In the ensuing decades examples of historic preservation emerged along with the expanding roles for women in American life: The Ladies Hermitage Association in Nashville, Stratford in Virginia, the D.A.R., and the Colonial Dames all promoted preservation as a mission and as vehicles for teaching contributive citizenship. The 1895 Cotton States and International Exposition held in Piedmont Park here in Atlanta featured not only the first Pavilion in an international fair to be designed by a woman architect, but also a Colonial Kitchen and exhibits of historic artifacts as well as the promotion of education and the arts. Women were leaders in the nurture of the arts to enrich American culture. Here in Atlanta they were a force in the establishment of the Opera, Ballet, and Visual arts. Early efforts to preserve old Atlanta, such as the Leyden Columns and the Wren’s Nest were the initiatives of women. The Atlanta Preservation Center, founded in 1979, was championed by the Junior League and headed by Eileen Rhea Brown.

    Blueprint Midtown 3. ACTION PLAN Introduction

    Blueprint Midtown 3. ACTION PLAN Introduction This document identifies Midtown’s goals, implementation strategies and specific action items that will ensure a rich diversity of land uses, vibrant street-level activity, quality building design, multimodal transportation accessibility and mobility, and engaging public spaces. Blueprint Midtown 3.0 is the most recent evolution of Midtown Alliance’s community driven plan that builds on Midtown’s fundamental strengths and makes strategic improvements to move the District from great to exceptional. It identifies both high priority projects that will be advanced in the next 10 years, as well as longer-term projects and initiatives that may take decades to achieve but require exploration now. Since 1997, policies laid out in Blueprint Midtown have guided public and private investment to create a clean, safe, and vibrant urban environment. The original plan established a community vision for Midtown that largely remains the same: a livable, walkable district in the heart of Atlanta; a place where people, business and culture converge to create a live-work-play community with a distinctive personality and a premium quality of life. Blueprint Midtown 3.0 builds on recent successes, incorporates previously completed studies and corridor plans, draws inspiration from other places and refines site-specific recommendations to reflect the changes that have occurred in the community since the original unveiling of Blueprint Midtown. Extensive community input conducted in 2016 involving more than 6,000 Midtown employers, property owners, residents, workers, visitors, public-sector partners, and subject-matter experts validates the Blueprint Midtown vision for an authentic urban experience. The Action Plan lives with a family of Blueprint Midtown 3.0 documents which also includes: Overview: Moving Forward with Blueprint Midtown 3.0, Midtown Character Areas Concept Plans (coming soon), Appendices: Project Plans and 5-Year Work Plan (coming soon).

    From the Vaults, February 2017

    FROM The VAULTS Newsletter of the Georgia Archives www.GeorgiaArchives.org Volume 2, No. 1 February 2017 The Georgia Archives Building State Historian and Archives Director Louise Hays thought that the Georgia Archives would be preparing to move to a new building on the Capitol Square with the State Library and perhaps the Supreme Court as soon as World War II was over. It took another twenty years, a new State Archivist (Mary Givens Bryan), and a new Secretary of State (Ben W. Fortson, Jr.) to complete the white marble structure on Capitol Avenue. The Archives had moved from the fourth floor of the Capitol in 1929 and 1930 to the twenty-room mansion donated by the heirs of furniture magnate Amos G. Rhodes at 1516 Peachtree Street NW. From the beginning it was obvious that a fireproof building designed as an archives would be preferable to Rhodes Hall. Governor Lamartine Griffin Hardman in 1931 proposed carving a giant records storage facility into the core of Stone Mountain.

    Data-Driven Optimization for Police Zone Design Arxiv:2104.00535V1

    Data-Driven Optimization for Police Zone Design Shixiang Zhu, He Wang, and Yao Xie H. Milton Stewart School of Industrial and Systems Engineering, Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta, Georgia 30332, USA Abstract We present a data-driven optimization framework for redesigning police patrol zones in an urban environment. The objectives are to rebalance police workload among geo- graphical areas and to reduce response time to emergency calls. We develop a stochastic model for police emergency response by integrating multiple data sources, including police incidents reports, demographic surveys, and traffic data. Using this stochastic model, we optimize zone redesign plans using mixed-integer linear programming. Our proposed design was implemented by the Atlanta Police Department in March 2019. By analyzing data before and after the zone redesign, we show that the new design has reduced the response time to high priority 911 calls by 5.8% and the imbalance of police workload among different zones by 43%. Keywords| police operations, data analytics, queueing model, optimization 1 Introduction In large urban areas, police departments often organize their patrol forces by dividing the geo- graphical region of a city into multiple patrol zones (also known as precincts), and each zone is further divided into multiple beats (or sectors)(Larson 1972). The design of patrol zones affects the demand and capacity for police services in each beat/zone, as well as the travel time of pa- trol units|together, these factors will determine the police's response time to emergency calls and arXiv:2104.00535v1 [math.OC] 30 Mar 2021 crime events. Therefore, a good design of patrol zones is important for achieving efficient police operations.

    Awards Finalists

    Finalist Excellence in Office/ Commercial Mixed-Used Development Stockyards Located in West Midtown, Stockyards is an adaptive re-use of a group of historic buildings sitting along Brady Avenue that date back to the early 1900s. In 2017, the property was redeveloped into 143,500 square feet of creative entertainment and office space. The project’s focus was to provide an adaptive re-use of the existing buildings to provide Class A office space for larger companies looking to invest in urban infill neighborhoods and entertainment for the area. Today, the development is home to tenants such as Fitzgerald and Co., Industrious, Red Bull, and The Painted Duck. In working with the City of Atlanta and the Marietta Street Artery Association, the development team was able to work within the existing zoning to provide shared parking to allow for a mix of uses. The shared uses allowed the project to build 315 parking spaces less than required under zoning regulations, and the parking deck is utilized all but 5 hours a day. Hospitality was a major focal point for this project. A former surface parking area and loading dock were removed to allow for the creation of a plaza to encourage office tenants to get outside and provide a place for special events. Interior bike storage as well as showers encourage employees to use alternative forms of transportation such as the newly built Tech Parkway Path linking the area to Downtown Atlanta. Stockyards is one of the last remaining historic properties to be redeveloped in this area adding office, restaurant, and entertainment options to the neighborhood.
