Meeting Alt Minutes 5/28/26: AGAIN told Minutes from April meeting "not ready." (recording secretary appears to be typing them in real time during meeting). Provided w/ undated one page Agenda item 3 "Approval of Minutes" but there are no minutes to approve.
7:12pm Attendee: "WHAT TIME DOES THIS MEETING START?"
President: "In a few minutes. We are trying to get set up."
Attendee: "I came on time. I have things to do."
President: "In a few minutes. We are trying to get set up."
Attendee: "I came on time. I have things to do."
President and CO: nasty glances not apology. "We can't start until Zoom is connected." "We respect you time." (facial expression disconnect)
Attendee: "You don't respect my time if you don't start on time. I'm going home to watch on Zoom."
CO: "You do that"
Attendee walked out
Attendee: "You don't respect my time if you don't start on time. I'm going home to watch on Zoom."
CO: "You do that"
Attendee walked out
May meeting of 30th Precinct Community Council (AKA the shit show) commenced at 7:16pm
Financial Report: none. The treasurer of the 30 Precinct Community Council was absent. The concept excused absence is not operational in this organization. Even if it was the treasurer has been present for 1 meeting of the last 6!
There is a reason why financial reports are not given. The assumptions are colorful. TBD
CO Area Report: carbon copy same as Jan, Feb, March, April. "Don't put your rent check in the street mail box. Don't give your watch to people on the street. Don't talk to strangers claiming to be from your bank" No data on crime or crimefighting in the hood.
(Please CO give us some report on what the 30th officers are doing). Responding to murders. Responding to burglary. Confiscating guns. Confiscating dirt bikes)
"Pubic Session 3 min" No attendees arent in orderly manner given 3 min to state concern w/raised hands from others who want to add. A pile on discussion more like brain storming ensues. Not only people talking without being recognized but veering the subject.
"Public Session 3 min" It like brainstorming in a working group except this organization is not a working group. It is neighbors with high anxiety coming to report they want police action. (Please can someone run the meeting?)
"Oh we are supposed to fill out a form about our issue in order to speak?" Those of us present for the roll out of the "Pubic Session Sheet" knew that but this new rule was not stated at call to order. Rush of crowd to get the sheet to fill out.
President: "We don't want people talking about things that are detrimental." Puzzling statement
Detrimental is an adjective that describes something causing harm, damage, or a negative effect. It is a formal word frequently used in academic, medical, and professional contexts to highlight actions or behaviors that hinder progress or well-being
Puzzling President doesn't want harm to come to attendees of the meeting because of something they say in a police precinct. Can't make this shit up. (Stay tuned for detailed analysis)
Discussion of bikes, and e bikes and scooters. Questions asked. Some answers provided.
Emphatic well spoken pleasant toned attendee reported drug using unhomed people living urinating and lowering QOL in exact location.
CO paraphrasing: I solved that problem last week
Attendee : Nope. I live there. Still a problem
CO paraphrasing: I solved that problem last week
Attendee : Nope. I live there. Still a problem
Attendee 2 same issue: I have to walk my kids past drug using unhomed people urinating on the corner (seems to be the same area). He clearly is known to CO. They have discussed this before
CO Quote: "This is a known drug corridor" (dismissively). "There is only so much the police can do." (hand gesture) "They are working on it."
President coming to CO defense: "You should have seen this neighborhood in the 90s. I had to walk my niece to school. I was bad there were drugs everywhere." "1990s" "In the 90s" (Things were bad in the 90s true. Things are bad now true. 2 unrelated trues
President: now we want your money. Cash only. If you put cash in the cardboard box you can win a prize of junk donated junk. (Why cash only? the assumptions are colorful TBD)
