A small working group was formed, after the May 12, 1999 Miller Park Neighborhood Association meeting, to work with Oscar's II to try and draft a Good Neighbor Agreement that lays out the responsibilities of all the parties involved. The Liquor Control Board had indicated that such an agreement would help pave the way for the reinstatement of the liquor license at Oscar's II.
Let's start with a brief statement from Kay Godefroy, our facilitator (from the Seattle Neighborhood Group), about the purpose and goals of the meetings.
A letter
from the Seattle Police Department to the Liquor
Control Board was the starting point for our discussions:
it details the Police Department's ideas for preventing future
problems at Oscar's.
The working group spent most
of its time going through the Police Department
list.
Here is one draft
of the list of conditions for the reopening of Oscar's II
, and an annotated version
of the Police Department letter, showing why we we made changes.
Here are some comments
from neighbors on Oscar's II and the original SPD list of
proposed conditions and some comments from neighbors on the
above revision to the proposed agreement and finally some comments from neighbors on the final
draft.
The Miller Park Neighborhood Association sent
out mailings (by E-mail, FAX and US mail) to Miller Park and Central
Neighborhood Association members and to all the neighbors who
signed in at the May 12 meeting. Here are copies of mailings sent:
After the May 24 Meeting
After the June 6th Meeting
On June 19 (E-mail
and FAX only) just before the final meeting.
Why not send E-mail comments to Andrew Taylor,
chair of the Miller Park Neighborhood Association:
