TREASURER, Sherree Saperstien

MINC Treasurer is the official liaison for facilitating the receipt of approved MINC dollars from the Department of Neighborhood Empowerment (DONE).  DONE is essentially our banker and houses all MINC monies.

COMMITTEES


 

 

 

 

W_CEDC, Joy Williams

This long standing committee deals with issues occurring on Washington Blvd between Fairfax and Crenshaw only.  It has been highly successful with over hundreds of successfully completed projects. Thru much hard work, which included research, they were able to reduce overall crime by 56% in a 2 year period and gang crime by 51% in a one year period! They have helped the MINC community to “take back” the blvd and continue to work with all to hold onto to it as well as to develop it.

 

Meetings are held, as needed, on Saturday mornings at 10 am. For more info, please contact the current W_CEDC chair of Joy Williams at mattiecane@ gmail.com


 

 

 

PLANNING & LAND USE MANAGEMENT (PLUM),

Bruce Durbin

PLUM committee covers the critical issues of planning and/or land use in the MINC area. Such issues include items such as illegal Medical Marijuana Dispensaries, cell phone tower installations, any pending development, zoning issues, conditional use permits, variances, Building & Safety code violations, etc.
 
If you have any interest in influencing the growth and development of your MINC community, then this is the committee to participate in!

 

 

 

OUTREACH, Sherree Saperstein

 

 

 

 


DESIGN, Lorraine Genovese & Jeff Copeland

The purpose of the "Design" Committee is to access the many talented and

creative resources that are in the MINC area. And to use that pool of volunteer talent towards the betterment of our MINC businesses. Recommendations to businesses, who opt to participate, are made on landscaping, paint colors, window displays, plant types, etc.
 
Note: Residential homes or like dwellings do not qualify for the use of this    committee.


            

 

 

 

 

 

 

BUDGET,  Allan DiCastro

MINC’s Budget Committee has funded nearly  $100,000 in community based projects in the past 2 years! Although the actual funding of MINC itself is through the Department of Neighborhood Empowerment (DONE). MINC’s Budget Committee serves as a “gatekeeper” of  these funds received from DONE.
