Community/Campus Advisory Coalition (CCAC) November 20, 2008 Meeting Minutes Page 2 Matt Costello thanked the Council for addressing this important issue. Council Member Kirsits asked for updates previously discussed issues: • Zoning maps for schools -Cathy Toppel met with Erin Steiner and discussed where the schools can obtain zoning maps. She will let them know about the GIS system available on the Internet. • E-mail notification system -Notre Dame is working with Lee Ross and is in the process of creating a crime alert system for students living on and off-campus. It was mentioned that the Harter Heights list serve is very informative and helpful. Currently about 40 students are on the Harter Heights list serve. • Mark Kramer addressed several issues. He is working on parking problems at properties he manages. By next year 60% of the students living in his properties will have off street parking. After several break-ins recently, Mr. Kramer has hired off-duty police officers. Working through the Robinson Center, tenants will be able to mark possessions and register them. Parrying seems to be under control. If Mr. Kramer receives complaints, he e-mails the tenants and other students living in the area. The biggest concern now is the crime rate and how to help the students be safe. The poor economy is creating more crime. Council Member Kirsits then asked for other issues. • Matt Costello said he is frustrated that students are not shoveling the sidewalks and it is hard for children that walk to school. Ann Puzzello noted the same problem in the triangle area, particularly Eddy Street where sidewalks are not being shoveled and children are walking in the street to get to school. She said many of those properties are owned by Notre Dame. Bill Kirk didn't know the policy about snow removal, but will check with the University and a-mail Mary Beth.
