Some of the areas discussed were the review of the 2016 Annual Report, the goals and objectives for the Committee for the 2017 year and the budget priorities for the coming year. The Committee focus has been on Quality of Life for the neighborhoods and working with the Neighborhood Resource Connection group, which we will start this ye off doing very soon. We also do District walking tours. Last ye, one (1) was scheduled for the I` Councilmanic District and there was a major storm. We had to cancel that one (1).
