5. Dave Morgan described the Storm Drainage Project, funded by a government grant, that aims to slow erosion of arroyos and by implementing some demonstration projects in Santa Fe that might serve as a model for the city and county and lead to a draft local ordinance for erosion control activities. He encouraged people to attend upcoming day-long workshops on May 26th at Cloud Cliff Bakery/ Cafe and June 9th at E J Martinez. School. There are 4 major arroyos in the Don Diego Neighborhood: Arroyo Tenorio, Acequia Madre one behind the Temple Beth Shalom and one by Houghton Street.

6. Maria Baca of the Don Canuto Neighborhood updated the group on The Lofts development. District Judge Hall decision has yet to be filed. City Council has 20 days to appeal. Property is still under contract to the developer. $1.026 M is the price for the land. Issues surrounding the decision are Early Neighborhood Notification and authority of city council to consider health, safety and welfare issues, traffic/zoning, and alternative C2 uses that may be more appropriate for the site.

7. Hubert Van Hecke updated the group on the Traffic Calming program. Carrie LaCrosse is head of the program. DDNA has submitted two projects for ranking, study and implementation: Camino de Los Marques and Don Diego Avenue. Funds are limited. Project needs signatures from on third of affected residents. We have the signatures.

8. Anna Richards reported the Entrada Park Project is back in engineering where Robert Romero is getting estimates for construction of the first phase, curb and gutter. Either the Locals or a contractor will do the work. DDNA wants to determine the slope, layout and materials for paths. We will write a letter to Engineering and Planning and the city manager making our desired involvement in decision making and implementation very clear. Others will look into a polymer/soil mixture that may be a good alternative surface to cement for ADA compliant paths.

9. Historic District boundaries are being surveyed.. Utility poles are exempt from HD restrictions.
