The agenda for the September 11, 2018 CHNA meeting is provided below. The below link can be used to download it. We are excited to have several staff members from the City of Kirkland at our meeting. Captain Ursino will join us to share the latest information from the Police Command Staff and will answer questions at the beginning of the meeting. We also will hear about the upcoming ballot measure that we will vote on in November. If approved, the ballot measure will increase the Kirkland local sales tax by 0.1 percent to fund increased police services focused on property crime, additional school resource officers, funding for a dedicated mental health professional to assist the Police Department, and other programs. During the core of the meeting will hear from Christina Brugman on Emergency preparedness. This will include guidance on what each of us can do to be ready for natural disasters, what to expect, and overviews of City and other programs. We also will provide information on the neighborhood safety program, development projects, capital improvement projects, and the results of our CHNA survey and meeting schedules.
Fall 2018 CERT Class Starts September 10 August 13, 2018 KIRKLAND, Wash. – Kirkland Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) is now accepting registrations for the Fall 2018 class. This 8-week course will start on Monday, September 10, 2018 and will be held the following seven Mondays from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. at the Kirkland City Hall, 123 5th Avenue (lower entrance) Kirkland, WA 98033. The final simulation drill, which participants are required to attend, will take place on November 3, 2018, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. The CERT program educates residents in disaster preparedness and trains them in basic disaster response skills such as fire suppression, light search and rescue, team organization, and disaster medical operations. Using the training learned in the classroom and during the exercises, CERT members can assist others in their neighborhood or workplace following an event. The cost for the 8-week course is $35.00 for those who live, work, or go to school in Kirkland; $50.00 for those outside of Kirkland. Participants will receive a CERT kit containing a helmet, reflective vest, backpack, and other emergency supplies. The program is sponsored by Kirkland CERT, the Kirkland Office of Emergency Management, and the Greater Kirkland Citizen Corps Council. To register, go to www.KirklandCERT.com; for information e-mail Christina Brugman, Kirkland CERT, at CBrugman@Kirklandwa.gov. A reminder that the Central Houghton Neighborhood Association is hosting a celebration of the 50th Anniversary of the merger of the City of Houghton with the City of Kirkland. The event will be at Fire Station 22 (on 108th Avenue) between 6:00 and 9:00 pm. It is forecast to be a nice evening, walk on down through a neighborhood or along the CKC. Parking at the Fire Station is pretty limited. The Kirkland Seventh Day Adventist Church, located about a block south of the Fire Station, has graciously allowed us to use their parking lot for the event. Signs will be out to direct you to it. We will have snow cones, cake, old photos and other history. We also will have a map for a short walking tour with NOW and THEN photos around the Houghton Center (Met Market Center). If you want something more than snow cones and cake, you can vist the Taco Truck (next to the Fire Station), Starbucks, Subway, or Met Market before or during the walking tour. The Taco Truck and Starbuck’s close at 8:00 pm. Thanks and we hope to see you there!
The CHNA Board wants your input on how you get information from us, the type of information you want to receive from us, and your thoughts on how we can better serve the neighborhood. Please see introduction and links to survey below. Feel free to forward to others that may have an interest. Larry Toedtli, President
