Community/Campus Advisory Coalition (CCAC) <br />April 9, 2008 Meeting Minutes <br />Page 3 <br />Student leaders were asked if it would be helpful for the City to provide brochures for <br />incoming freshmen describing what the area has to offer. The general consensus was <br />that students tend to "walk away" from brochure displays. The suggestion was made to <br />provide this information electronically. <br />Another suggestion was made to have a "Move In Day" for students possibly with free <br />food and coupons from local merchants. <br />There is a concern about local cab companies and various issues including less than <br />courteous drivers, fare discrepancies and inappropriate behavior towards female <br />students. Some companies have been banned from campuses by the universities. <br />Assistant City Attorney Ann-Carol Nash is looking into what can be done about this and <br />will report back to the Coalition. <br />Mission Statement <br />The draft of the Mission Statement was reviewed and it was suggested that it be more <br />specific by adding the phrase "between campuses and community." The phrase was <br />added and the Mission Statement now reads: <br />CACC will provide a viable mechanism to enhance partnerships and build <br />positive long-term relationships between campuses and community in <br />order to address safety for students and neighborhoods, build better <br />neighborhoods and enhance the quality of life for all. <br />Upon Motion duly made and seconded, .the Mission Statement was accepted as <br />revised. <br />Discussions were held on the top three issues identified by the CCAC at its March <br />meeting. They are: <br />• Illegal use of single family housing in violation of zoning ordinance <br />• Addressing unruly off-campus behavior <br />• Working together to promote neighborhood, resident and student safety <br />Illegal use of single family housing in violation of zoning ordinances <br />Members discussed the problem of more than three unrelated people occupying a <br />single family dwelling in violation of zoning ordinances and what. can be done. <br />"Grandfathering" also seems to be a problem in that many properties that are claimed to <br />be grandfathered to allow for multiple occupants when in reality they are not.
