- 10. Ground Rules • The Summit is where we get ideas on the table. It is NOT where we solve problems. • Anyone can speak to a challenge, concern, or action tonight, but no person can occupy the microphone for more than two minutes in total other than the moderator or a presenter. Use your time wisely. • Nothing is ultimately removed from or added to the Quality of Life Plan unless 75% of those gathered agree. Everyone can vote. Everyone can speak. Summit Guidelines
- 11. • Be kind. Even if we disagree, our goal is to leave tonight as neighbors. Be constructive. Use your time to be part of the solution and not as an opportunity to complain. • Share your name before you speak • If you wish to speak on an issue, you must use a microphone so all can hear. Summit Guidelines
- 12. • Present an idea at a Neighborhood Summit and propose a taskforce to explore the idea • You will need 50% of the summit attendee vote to form a taskforce • If you “win the vote”, schedule a time to meet with the taskforce after the summit to flesh out the idea. Attend the next Summit and present your findings and action item. • You will need 75% of the summit attendee vote to have the action item added to the Quality of Life plan. Adding Items to the Plan
- 13. • If you don’t “win the vote,” don’t give up! Use the feedback received from the neighbourhood to make your idea better than before. Present your idea again at a future summit. Adding Items to the Plan
- 14. Instructions • You will hear from neighbors who proposed an action item at the last summit, and formed a taskforce to work on the proposal • Each presenter has 3 minutes to introduce his/her proposal. • Spend 15 – 20 minutes visiting the booths set up by the taskforces to learn more about the proposals. • Reconvene for voting on proposals • Fill out summit engagement forms.

Editor's Notes
- Good evening and welcome to the Near Eastside Neighborhood Summit. I am your moderator for the evening Dan Goldblatt, from the Little Flower Neighborhood, and we are very excited to have everyone here! Before we get started, we’d like to take a moment to give a warm round of applause to Shepherd Community Center for hosting us this evening. We would also like to give a special thanks to People’s Health Center and Shepherd Community Center for providing Spanish translation for the Summit. Lastly, we would like to thank our neighborhood volunteers for helping to make this summit a success, this includes Chrystal, Andre, Patrick, etc…
- Our first order of business will be a Promise Zone update provided by Melissa Benton of John Boner Neighborhood Centers. Please welcome Melissa to the front. (give Melissa the microphone)

- Thank you Melissa. Up next we’ll get into our Quality of Life Action Items. If you’ve been following the E-News, keeping up with neighborhood announcements, and if you attended the last Summit, then you’ll know that this Summit will be the final Summit for taking inventory of our action items and allowing neighbors time to reevaluate our priorities when it comes to action items that have been difficult to implement. Does everyone have a Summit engagement form, a voting card, and something to write with? If you do not have a Summit Engagement form, a voting card, and something to write with, will you please raise your hand now and our volunteers will come around and bring you these items. While the volunteers are passing these out, I’m going to turn the microphone over to CoraLyn Turentine, the Director of Neighborhood Engagement for John Boner Neighborhood Centers, to provide some further information and instruction.
