Can they turn over advocacy and education to an organization like OTRCC? Educate adults and teens for about an hour about the value of seat belts and car seats. They provide materials. We need to organize meeting and do the training. Those who take the training are eligible to win a car seat. Children 4-8 years often do not have the booster seat they need. They done it in Northside and Price Hill and are looking for a group(s) to do this training in OTR. We will broadcast this opportunity to parent groups at Rothenberg and OTR Community Housing, as well as social services such as Wesley Chapel Mission, Salvation Army, Contact Center. Imani Center.

Seth shared with M. Moore the OTRCC principles regarding parking. Invite C. Seelbach to come talk parking at the April membership meeting next week because we need to stress the urgency that we need the residential parking passes now. The increasing number of valets are taking much needed parking spaces that our residents need. </p><p>Resident Engagement Committee Moving forward with the sign for the Rec. Center that says OTRCC meets there. Surveys from those that attended the March meeting will be tallied and presented ____WHEN?____ In an attempt to help manage the time and length of the meetings, we need to be thoughtful and selective of what gets on the agenda. Invite others to make their announcements on Facebook instead of in person. The committee will print postcards and/or posters of upcoming meetings dates and distribute to residents. The committee has a shared storytelling and Pinwheel event for community building and would like to do it in May or June. Might be a good activity while we wait on voting results. Can we do the neighbor survey digitally? Better to engage and do it personally, but OTRCH and Urban Sites will use a digital survey. </p><p>Safety Committee Issues at the 1132 Bar. Seth will take the lead and call the meeting. Walter, Ryan, Peter and Jenn will try to attend.</p><p>Announcements: Letter to city council members to boost NSP funds.
