Wireless Code Amendment

You may have received questions regarding a mailing that the City sent out this week on the Planning Commission Public Hearing for Code Amendment 10-04, the proposed changes to our codes related to wireless communication facilities.  The hearing is scheduled for 5:30 pm on February 26, 2013.  The code amendment documents to be presented to the Planning Commission, community forum dates, additional information on the public hearing, and other resources are available online on our webpage at

http://www.cityofsalem.net/WirelessCodeAmendment

 

Please note that state law required the City to mail notice to all property owners because the proposed code amendment would make changes in all zoning districts that could affect where cell towers and antennas and equipment can be located.  Because the mailing was delivered throughout the City yesterday, we are receiving a high volume of calls and many callers are being directed to voicemail.  We are making every effort to respond as quickly as possible and resolve issues with the phone calls.

Sumpter Parent Club Meeting Minutes January 15th 2013

Sumpter Parent Club Minutes – Jan 15, 2013

Welcome & Introductions (sign in)

December meeting minutes approval with one correction to the date of May 4h for the Awesome 3000 – motion made by Tara Hurley and seconded by Karen Macedo.

Funds Requests

The 4^th grade is requesting $324.60 more than normal for the field trip to Aurora, this is due to having two split classes a ¾ split and a 4/5 split where all students will be going on the field trip due to not having teachers that will be available to stay behind at the school to teach them that day.  Motion made by Annette Brown to approve this amount and seconded by Alicia Matson.

Treasurer’s Report/Budget – Patrick Hurley

Available balance is $19,255.78.

Patrick has been looking into Lowe’s being a possible business partner for our school.  They do $2000-$3000 grants, which could possibly be used to purchase supplies for benches in the garden area.

$5500 for technology might be freed up due to the school district facilities not being able to get to our request for the power to the ceilings to mount document cameras.

Committee Reports

Box tops- Keep bringing in those box tops as the contest runs through mid February.

Campbell’s Soup Labels-Tara Hurley had an idea to get about 7 globes to place around the library for all students to be able to use and explore while in the library.  It was agreed to start collecting labels for this after the EGC classroom gets what they are wanting from the program.

School Report

Ms. Prats reported that District testing for 3^rd, 4^th, and 5^th grades in Math will be starting soon.  As far as State testing she would like to start after Spring Break, but due to the Rosedale computers still not being online that she might have to start testing as early as late February in order to get everyone done.  Sumpter was selected to test an additional test, the Smart Balance Test, which the 5^th grade students will take the last week in April.  The 4^th grade students could possibly be included in this selection as well.  Ms. Prats came to the Parent Club meeting with many volunteer needs for the school.  Annette Brown sent out a separate email listing these needs and the contact information for each.

Other Business

Annette Brown brought up if there is a need to move the Parent Club meeting to a different time of the day in order to get more people to come to the meetings. 

The Auction/Raffle Spring FUNdraiser is tentatively planned for Friday May 17^th.  We are checking to make sure this works with the school calendar with Donna Robinson.

Sandbagging Sites Established in Salem

News Release from: City of Salem
SANDBAGGING SITES ESTABLISHED IN SALEM
Posted: December 3rd, 2012 4:21 PM

Due to the possibility of local flooding occurring over the next few days, the City of Salem Public Works Department has set up 11 temporary satellite sandbagging locations as follows:

West Salem
* Orchard Heights Park--Upper Parking Lot
* Roth's--1130 Wallace Road NW
* Park and Ride--Wallace Road NW--entrance north of Brush College Road NW

South Salem
* Bush's Pasture Park--Parking lot off Lefelle Street SE--lower lot near baseball field
* Fred Meyer, South Salem--3450 Commercial Street SE
* Wal-Mart, South Salem--5250 Commercial Street SE
* Courthouse Athletic Club--6250 Commercial Street SE

Southeast Salem
* Home Depot Hagers Grove--3795 Hagers Grove Road SE

As always, sand and sandbags are available at the City's Operations Division Complex located at 1420 20th Street SE.

The City will also deliver sand to private property upon request.

Salem residents can also help prevent local flooding when heavy rains and lots of leaves combine to clog storm drains. Simply rake leaves that have fallen in the street to the lower side of the storm drains. This helps prevent clogging until City street-sweeping crews come to your neighborhood.

Please report any local flooding or down trees to Salem Public Works Dispatch at 503-588-6333.
