Greetings Friends & Neighbors,

 Happy New Year! We hope this email finds you well and you are all keeping warm. As many of you may have seen and heard from recent news and social media, over the past year the JPNA has slowly lost board members to people moving, changing of life status and the ending of board terms. Although we have continued to advertise and ask people to join the board, both through media and in person, no one has done so.

As of January 1, we will have 1 board member. At the January 13th monthly meeting at 7PM on Zoom, if we do not gain a minimum of 3 board members, the JPNA will close down, as it is unable to continue to function. 
If you would like to nominate yourself to run for a position, please email, well, me, at board@jeffriespoint.org. If you would like to learn more, you can also send an email, I am happy to set up a public coffee to speak with a group of people this weekend if that would be helpful. Board descriptions, bylaws, and information can also be found on our website at www.jeffriespoint.org
The JPNA has been continuously serving the community since the 1970’s, by many committed members of the community. Please join the board, volunteer to help us run a hybrid meeting or plan a “neighbor night” to help strangers become friends!

Agenda:

  • Announcements & Housekeeping
  • Police
  • The Mayor’s Liason
  • JPNA Election
  • Koro Sushi & Rament by owner Raffael Scalzi
  • 36 Cottage Street VOTE– 2nd presentation, change occupancy from three family and office to four family via basement conversion — New basement unit to be 624 sq ft., 1 BR 1 BA.
  • 255 Webster Street VOTE- 2nd presentation, removal of the existing A-dormer and portion of the front roof to be replaced with a shed dormer. No change in the building’s overall height and livable square footage

As a reminder, all questions will be handled via the Zoom chat feature. We ask all attendees to remain muted unless called upon to speak. Looking forward to “seeing” you all there!
