  1. If we have a quorum, a vote on the bylaws change postponed from last month.
  2. The owners of Farm House Chicago, Farm House Evanston and Brown Dog Farm have purchased the bar at Wellington and Lakewood (the former Wellington’s) and will be opening Farm Bar restaurant. They’ll tell us about their plans for that space.
  3. There’s been discussion on our Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/groups/southlakeviewneighbors/ regarding increased noise from Wrigley Field. We’d like to take few minutes to get a sense of the neighborhood on this. If there is a widespread issue, then we’ll see what we can do between this meeting and the next.
  4. You should have just received your latest assessment. Now that you’ve had a chance to take a deep breath, Andrea Raila will speak to us about how to appeal your assessment. This will go well beyond just how to fill out the forms. She’ll talk about the specific things you need to do for a successful appeal. There will be time for questions.

AGENDA

  1. Lakeview Chamber of Commerce – Neighbor development update

  2. SLN By-law change

Lakeview Chamber of Commerce

Ms. Heather Way, Executive Director of the Lakeview Chamber of Commerce will update the membership on things going on in the local business world. Topics could include what is being built at Lincoln / Belmont / Ashland, beautification of the intersection at Lincoln / Wellington/ Southport and the entire strip of Lincoln from Belmont to Diversey, new businesses, retail spaces being rehabbed, vacant stores and LBA traffic studies.

SLN bylaw changes:  Include committee members in Officer & Directory Insurance

For years, most committee members have also been officers and directors of SLN. However, in recent years, some committee members and chairpersons are not on the Board and want to make sure they will be insured under SLN’s Director and Officers Insurance.  Changes in bylaws require a membership vote.

Blue Recycling Bin Rules

Posted on , updated on by Steven Stern

From Alderman Waguespack’s newsletter:

We are also receiving many calls of blue carts taped shut with orange Waste Management tags (see photo) for being in violation of recycling rules. Waste Management is enforcing the contract with the City and will not pick up blue carts that have contents in plastic bags. If you have any questions, please contact my office. For more information on the blue cart program rules, please click here.
