East CAC Chairman Mark Turner opened the East Citizens Advisory Council meeting at Lions Park community center shortly after 7 p.m. About 45 people were in attendance throughout the evening. The November 2009 minutes were approved.

OPENING ANNOUNCEMENTS: In good news from around the CAC, Mark reported that Raleigh Police Captain Stacy Deans has been promoted to Southeast District Commander following the retirement of Captain Tom Earnhardt. Also on the policing front, negotiations continue on the RPD field office planned for the Food Lion Shopping Center at Raleigh Boulevard and Glascock Street.

Katherine Savage, coordinator of the Raleigh Community Gardens Meetup Group announced a community garden project at Alliance Medical Ministry at New Bern Avenue and Donald Ross Drive. The project got underway in the fall and welcomes local residents who want to get involved. Once there’s a critical mass of about 15 to 20 committed volunteers, the Interfaith Food Shuttle will run the project. There will be canvass of the neighborhood the weekend of Feb. 20 to tell residents about the project. For more information, contact Katherine at katherines3 [at] gmail.com

Now that the sun is returning to the sky it’s a good time to discuss alternative energy and energy efficiency. Brian Lips and Joseph O’Neill from the N.C. Solar Center will answer questions about available federal and state energy incentives.

We’ll also welcome Raleigh Police Capt. Stacy Deans, who just took over as the Southeast District Commander from the retiring Capt. Earnhardt.

It should be a good meeting. Hope to see you Monday!
