GUEST SPEAKER: Josh from the
Waterbury Neighborhood Council(WNC).
WNC works mostly in the South End. It is
in the top 100 most polluted zip codes in the country. There was a garbage
trash to power plant near Home Depot. WNC got it stopped. 6 associations have
joined have joined in to help fund for clean air for schools in the South End.
Ned asked if the WNC has any political
affiliations. Josh didn’t really answer the question.
Bob asked how EMNA would be represented
in the council. We would have 3 seats with the President having one. EMNA would
have no financial obligation. 17 neighborhoods are represented on the WNC.
Meetings are once a month. Quarum is 50% of board
members who are qualified to vote. Bob asked where the funding comes from. Chilifest, awards dinner, grants. WNC is starting to take
donations. WNC wants to give back to neighborhoods and they feel they are a
force to be reckoned with.
