Greetings to Friends and Neighbors
City of Raleigh Inspections Report – Inspector David Johnson.
City of Raleigh Monthly Report and Update – Captain Manson (SW-Southwest). Captain Notch (SE-Southeast), Captain Van Antwerp (DT-Downtown). Our SW area is now part of three Raleigh Police Districts.
City Solid Waste and Recycling – Chesley Wiggins, City of Raleigh Solid Waste Services, Waste Diversion Analyst will provide an overview of recycling and City trash collection programs. We should also get an assessment of how Southwest Raleigh collections are performing based on a Composition Study of recyclable materials. I suspect we can all learn to make the task easier.

Community Group Forum – Comments and updates from our community leaders and residents. The City Staff proposed South Street closure for a relocated Red Hat Pavilion has received considerable interest.
For our September meeting (Monday the 9th at 7:00p.m.) we will be returning to our traditional home at Carolina Pines Community Center. Currently, Engineering Services has agreed to provide an update for the Carolina Pines Ave. Improvement Project.

The two organizations have worked together to offer voter registration at local libraries for years, but this is one of the largest initiatives ever planned. The events provide a convenient opportunity for residents to get their voting needs met at locations across Wake County.
