There was discussion related to the following suggested outcomes:  Building neighborhoods will have appointed or elected persons to bring concerns that are peculiar to their neighborhood to the administration.  Building representatives will be responsible for building safety.  Building neighborhoods would develop a more cohesive identity for themselves and get to now their residents better.  Pride and ownership in the structure will increase, resulting in fewer maintenance degradations such as vandalism.  All neighborhood citizens will know who to contact for concerns and complaints.  All neighborhood citizens and stakeholders will have input including custodians, students, clerical staff, ASCPD, and faculty. The group discussed that there are buildings that currently practice some of these principles. The Art Building, the Library, and the SUB are a few. Card Access to the main entrance of each building, and issues with students needing to access buildings after hours was discussed. Mr. Marquez will send the proposal out electronically, so that folks can provide feedback. Whether this should ever become policy was also discussed.
