There have been some questions lately about it, so this is to clarify some matters
regarding the Payne/Phalen District Five Planning Council annual meeting.
The 2004 annual meeting of the Payne/Phalen District Five Planning Council is Tuesday,
April 27 at 6:00 p.m. at 899 Payne Avenue [the former Payne Reliever or New York Bingo
building]. The meeting will contain a report on Council activities of the past year,
election of 10 directors for 2-year terms, and a community issues forum.
The election part seems to be what most are asking about, so I will elaborate on the
rules and procedures.
> Participation is open to all members.
> Members are all residents of the district** aged 16 years or more and
> representatives of business concerns in the district**. [Business reps should have
> a letter on file from the business involved authorizing their participation or
> should bring such letter with them for filing.]
> Any member can seek election, nominate him/herself or any other member, and vote.
> Some people have already submitted their names for nomination, but nominations from
> the floor will be in order.
> After all nominations have been made and each candidate has had a minute to speak,
> the members present will vote by ballot.
> Tellers will collect and tabulate ballots and announce results later in the meeting.
> Those elected will serve a term running from the third Tuesday in May this year
> until the third Tuesday in May 2006.
Non-member visitors are welcome.
Translation services will be available in Spanish and Hmong.
Child care will be available on site.
**The borders of the District are I-35E on the west, the line on which Grove Street is
platted on the south, the Ramsey County Rail Authority right-of-way on the east
[former BN/NP railroad ROW] and the city limits [Larpenteur Avenue] on the north.
I hope this answers most questions and that I will see many of my neighbors Tuesday
night. You can also check the Council's site at

“Too long have the workers of the world waited for some Moses to lead them out of
bondage. I would not lead you out if I could; for if you could be led out, you could
be led back again. I would have you make up your minds there is nothing that you
cannot do for yourselves.” Eugene Debs
