Departure of strong community organization questions validity of UCCC
The withdrawal of the Spruce Hill Community Association from the University City Community Council last week may not have been a surprise to some area residents, but it has nonetheless managed to shake up what used to be a strong and stable organization.
[...]
Grossbach's organization did not agree with the UCCC's call for a lottery-determined catchment area and instead advocated a defined boundary for the attendance zone.
But in a five-to-one vote, the other council members overrode Spruce Hill's objection and put the UCCC's support behind the catchment lottery.
However, by endorsing a position that did not have universal approval, Grossbach says the UCCC overstepped its bounds and misrepresented the community.
Is it too much to expect some consistency, and have the SHCA withdraw the Historic District application? After all, the HD doesn't have universal approval, and many of the HD's critics feel that the SHCA has overstepped its authority. So, can we expect the SHCA's leaders to follow Barry's high principles, and withdraw the application?
