Hi, if you live in Provo in the South East part of town, specifically the Provost South Neighborhood (from 900 S. down to Springville — on the east side of State Street) — this is very important — check this out and my NOTE at the end:

Just a reminder that the meeting to elect a new neighborhood chair for Provost South will be tonight at 7 PM at Spring Creek Elementary.

Attending this meeting and casting a vote might be the most important civic duty you perform this year, as the new neighborhood chair will likely have major input on how State Street will be cleaned up and developed, when Bicentennial Park will be improved, and what types of new housing (high-density apartments vs. single-family homes) will be built in our neighborhood.

Obviously the better the turnout tonight, the better the chance we’ll be represented by someone who best reflects the sentiments of the neighborhood. So please make a point of attending, and bring a few of your neighbors along as well.

See you tonight.

Nick Mason
Provost South Neighborhood Chair

NOTE: Single Adults — please, please, please, please come tonight! There are basic rights issues at stake — i would call them human rights issues since I don’t know what else to call them.

Single Adults in current Provo City zoning law are treated as second class citizens effectively:

• Unlimited numbers of family adults can live together VS. 3 single adults — no limit on one class but a limit on the other class.

The Neighborhood Chair directly influences public policy/law by speaking before the city council.

We need to elect someone that treats single adults the same as family adults with respect to the law.  Far too many neighborhood chairs in the past have treated single adults as second class — at least in the law they have.  And good intentions don’t matter when it comes to the effects of the laws — what does the law say and what are its effects? — that is the question!!

Please, please come!!!  This is urgent, really!!  Come listen to the candidates speak tonight and then vote.

Meeting will probably last till 8:00pm is my guess, but might end much earlier.  Come!
