Meeting:  October 20, 2017 2-3 PM in B Building 2nd Flr Conference Room
Subject: Organizing a Block Watch for Arrowhead Gardens Residents
In attendance

SW Police Precinct:
  • Officer Todd Wiebke, CPT 
  • Jennifer Burbridge, Crime Prevention Coordinator

AGRC execs 
  • Laura R. (C bldg)
  • Elaine Q. (D bldg)
  • Nancy H. (A bldg)
  • Jackie T. (Treasurer)

AG Residents
  • Joan G.
  • Janice S. (has extensive experience, will help with organizing)
  • Richard (safety committee, representing Cheryl B.)
  • John Walling (website administrator)


Jennifer outlined the essence of a block watch:
  • Communication between neighbors with Block Captains.
  • Communication with police (Jennifer and 9-1-1)

Officer Wiebke gave an update on his CPT efforts.
  • RVs have been removed.
  • His goal is to get another barrier fence on the East side of Myers Way.

Trespassing
  • Outsiders use AG property as a short cut.
  • Joan: Shag is reluctant to put up signs that aren't welcoming.
  • Jennifer will research property lines which could help with putting Crime Watch signs on city property.

Metro Police jurisdiction over P&R
  • Laura:  We are supposed to contact Metro police for issues concerning the Park & Ride area.
  • Elaine: Bus shelters are used by people not riding the bus.
  • Some residents feel intimidated taking early buses (6-7am)
  • Ofc Wiebke offered to come by if there are recurring problems at the bus shelters.

Public Health Issues
  • Elaine: Hepatitis is a concern and could get out of control in rainy season.
  • Ofc Wiebke: Water drainage checks out OK so far.
  • John: Is the Public Health Department on the case?  Not known.

Organizing
  • Jennifer: recommended a Block Captain for each building and that we get communication procedures setup.
  • Jennifer: recommended annual/semi-annual Night Out party/events to keep people connected and informed.
  • There was discussion about the use of fliers and signs to inform people.  Shag puts limits on what can be done.
  • Laura will set up a meeting to get organized and she asked Janice to provide guidance.
  • Jennifer provided sample fliers and lists of instructions. John took one set and Elaine took the rest.
  • Janice recommended that some of us attend the next block watch meeting at SW Police Precinct on Oct 24th. See details below​

West Seattle Blog - posted Oct-25-2017
Councilmember Lisa Herbold talks with West Seattle Block Watch Captains Network 
  City Council‘s second day of the second round of budget-change reviews will start with a variety of proposals related to homelessness and other human-services issues.
   You can see the list on the agenda – each item has a link to the “green sheet” briefly discussing what’s being proposed. The council’s just discussing at this point, not voting, so you have time to let them know what you think.
