Major Finley gave his report on the situations within Adair Park. Residents provided him with some code enforcement/quality of life violations and he said that he would have his units monitor those concerns. Ervin Woods provided us with a progress report as to the Taking Stock In Our Community Project. Some areas still need to be covered to complete this project. We had four families to receive home repairs thanks to this organization and the Catholic Hearts Project. We discussed ways /ideas on how to have more residents involved with the community organization. We are currently organizing a project to place a Technology Center in Adair Park. Hopefully we can partner with Greater Fortress and obtain donated space for the Technology Center. This center will be open to residents of Adair Park to learn basic computer skills and to provide a place where residents can go to access the internet. One of our residents suggested that we hold a Adair Park festival. This will be held in October 2004. City Councilman H. Lamar Willis listened to concerns from community members. He provided information as for what direction the city is planning to go in. Ms. Genie McGee of Finacial Freedom spoke on the subject of Reverse Mortgages. She answered residents questions concerning the concept of reverse morgtages.
