1. INTRODUCTIONS.
Ken Marcus called the meeting to order at 7:00pm. After Mr. Marcus described his vision of the association and his reasoning for getting it started, each attendee then had an opportunity to introduce himself or herself, state where they live and their individual reasons for wanting to create a civic association.
2. DISCUSSION OF PURPOSE.
There was a lengthy discussion of what should incorporate the purpose of the civic association. The meeting attendees concluded that the civic association should:
a. effectively interact with government agencies; b. foster communication between and among residents and other neighborhood associations; c. emphasize residential concerns; d. coordinate with Rosslyn Renaissance and e. provide a voice for those residents not included in a homeowner's association.
3. SELECTION OF NAME.
The benefits and drawbacks of the original name, Colonial Terrace Civic Association were discussed. The attendees unanimously concluded that the original name was not fully descriptive of the likely members of the association. After further discussion, the attendees decided the new name for the association, North Rosslyn Civic Association. This new name will be incorporated into the by-laws. 4. DETERMINATION OF BOUNDARIES. The attendees determined the pre-existing boundaries of the original Colonial Terrace Civic Association were suitable for the new association. Wilson Boulevard, Lee Highway, North Quinn Street, and Arlington Ridge Road, inclusive of the Key Bridge Marriott, and connecting parcels of land, describe these boundaries. 5. BYLAWS. Ken Marcus brought a prepared set of bylaws to the meeting for discussion. It was concluded that the attendees would review the bylaws at their leisure and e-mail Mr. Marcus any desired changes or additions. Mr. Marcus will incorporate any changes into the bylaws for discussion at the next meeting. 6. NEXT MEETING. The date of the next meeting was set for November 3, 2002. Stephanie Benefield offered to inquire about having the next meeting in the Atrium's community room. 7. ADJOURNMENT. All business having been discussed, the meeting adjourned at approximately 8pm.
