CSO Karla Rubio-Corral (TPD) Intro and Info on Recent Incidents - Share a map around recent incidents. Karen had questions around two deaths near the wheel art piece. Karla wasn’t able to find the incidents right now but would follow up. Karla will check and follow-up with the neighborhood group. Christy asked a question about speeding throughout Dunbar at night and Christy is wondering if anything is being done to address it. Karla let us know that as a city they are doing more traffic enforcement overall. Natasha raised a question about noise and how the volume seems way louder lately that seems to be coming from downtown close to midnight. Karla requested that we call it in but we need to know a fairly specific area that the noise is coming from to check.

Memorial Donation for Lisa Scoblink - Lisa Scoblink passed away suddenly in February and Karen suggested we make a donation in her name from the neighborhood association and possibly others. Dunbar Pavillion or Old Pueblo. Karen makes a motion that the neighborhood makes a donation of $25 to the Dunbar Pavillion. Unanimous yes, 10-0.
