1. President Tom English called the meeting to order at 8:08 AM


2. Ron Turner, chairman of the Belltown Housing and Land Use
    Subcommittee (BHLUS) spoke about the proposed development of a
    Post-Disaster Emergency Plan for Belltown. This is something that
    other Seattle communities have pursued and developed. Belltown is
    different from a lot of neighborhoods because of the many high
    rises, lack of public schools, and little open space. The objective is to
    develop a plan that would get the community through the first
    3-5 days of a major disaster, such as a major seismic event.
    Ron was at the meeting to solicit 2-3 volunteers from the business
    community because there are already many volunteers from
    the residential side.


3. Minutes of the Meeting of April 21, 2010 were approved.
