[12:08] Rosie Gray: LUC, yes
[12:08] Rosie Gray: sorry one moment
[12:09] Rosie Gray: the reparcelling of Alpine Meadow is now complete
[12:09] Rosie Gray: we no longer have prim parcels... they are unnecessary
[12:10] Rosie Gray: and the parcels that were and had no access points now have paths to them
[12:10] Kyoko Furse-Barzane: Nice :)
[12:10] Rosie Gray: signage is almost complete... just to name the new paths is required
[12:10] Rosie Gray: community centre is almost finished
[12:11] Rosie Gray: and proposals are being thought about to improve Friedsee
[12:11] Rosie Gray: there is also a proposal to make some adjustments to the area at the waterfront in Locus Amoenus
[12:11] Peter from New York is online.
[12:11] Rosie Gray: there is a notecard about that ㋡
[12:12] Lyubov Atheria: Thank you Rosie, yes the proposal notecard is in the box if you don't have it already. We will discuss this later in New Business.
[12:12] Rosie Gray: great thank you
[12:12] Richie Deschanel: great work - thank you Rosie and the LUC
[12:12] Rosie Gray: that's everything from the LUC
[12:12] Kyoko Furse-Barzane: That's a lot :)
[12:12] Lyubov Atheria: Thank you Rosie, great work!
[12:13] Lyubov Atheria: Does anyone have any questions for Rosie about the LUC report?
[12:13] Richie Deschanel: not me
[12:13] Lyubov Atheria: I hear none. Thank you again Rosie.
[12:13] Almut Brunswick: I will refer to it in the Citizen's Concern
[12:14] Lyubov Atheria: Thank you Almut, That will be the appropriate time.
[12:14] Lyubov Atheria: Next *4. MoCA Update.
[12:14] Lyubov Atheria: Kyoko, do you have a MoCA update?
[12:14] Kyoko Furse-Barzane: Delia and I have finally chatted and are working on a new exhibit for the end of June.
[12:14] Kyoko Furse-Barzane: We don't know exactly what yet, but the gears are turning
[12:15] Laura Richards is online.
[12:15] Richie Deschanel: we will wait in anticipation
[12:15] Kyoko Furse-Barzane: So the current show will remain up til mid June.
[12:15] Kyoko Furse-Barzane: I will announce it again this week in CDS group
[12:16] Kyoko Furse-Barzane: Please buy the new MoCA book, available at MoCA and The NEW Art Gallery
[12:16] Kyoko Furse-Barzane: done
[12:16] Mizou: Hi Brooke
[12:16] Lyubov Atheria: Thank you Kyoko. So, this current exhibit will remain in-place for the remainder of the current MoCA Curator term, correct?
[12:16] Kyoko Furse-Barzane: I thought our term ran until August
[12:17] Kyoko Furse-Barzane: The term is one month off the election cycle as I recall
[12:17] Lyubov Atheria: In July the RA will appoint the new MoCA Curator. The RA term begins 1 June.
[12:17] Lyubov Atheria: So it is likely the appointment will be made in June to be seated 1 July
[12:18] Kyoko Furse-Barzane: well we can talk about that. Technically then this moca term runs until the curator is chosen again
[12:18] Lyubov Atheria: I can check the dates from last year to be certain.
[12:18] Kyoko Furse-Barzane: thank you
[12:18] Lyubov Atheria: With some good fortune, there will not be much change in the leadership of MoCA :)
[12:19] Lyubov Atheria: Thank you Kyoko.
[12:19] Lyubov Atheria: Next, *5. Citizen Concerns
[12:19] Lyubov Atheria: Would any citizen like to offer something at this time?
[12:19] Rosie Gray raises a hand
[12:19] Lyubov Atheria: Yes Rosie?
[12:19] Rosie Gray: yes sorry.. was just looking up about theMoCA appointment
[12:19] Rosie Gray: 2) Appointments will be for a time period of 6 months: either August to January or February to July.
[12:20] Rosie Gray: from CDSL 31-1 MoCA Curator Appointment
[12:20] Rosie Gray: done
[12:20] Lyubov Atheria: Ok, so we think *through* the month of July, taking office 1 August?
[12:20] Rosie Gray: that's what it says, from August to January, or February to July
[12:21] Lyubov Atheria: Ok, thank you for clarifying that Rosie, and forgive my mistake Kyoko.
[12:21] Rosie Gray waves at Tan ㋡
[12:21] Tanoujin Milestone: hey :)
[12:21] Kyoko Furse-Barzane: forgiven
[12:21] Lyubov Atheria: Almut, I see you in the queue. Would you like to state a Citizen Concern at this time?
[12:21] Brooke Brandenburg: Hello Tan :)
[12:21] Kyoko Furse-Barzane: TAN!!!!
[12:21] Mizou: Hi Tan :)
[12:21] Almut Brunswick: I would like to propose something in respect on the LUC meetings: It is not easy to follow the discussions for a relatively new citizen to follow the discussions about places when you don't have an idea where these places actually are
[12:22] Tanoujin Milestone: terrible lag.... and RL kept me busy, forgive my lateness
[12:22] Richie Deschanel: Hi Tan
[12:22] Almut Brunswick: I knwo that Lyubov has started to create something like a 3D diorama to represent the regions as models
[12:22] Mizou is wondering about Tan's chickens :)
[12:23] Tanoujin Milestone: :)
[12:23] Almut Brunswick: so it would be easier to show which region or plot is currently subject to the discussion
[12:23] Kyoko Furse-Barzane wondering about Tan's seating
[12:23] Kyoko Furse-Barzane: there is a relief map
[12:23] Kyoko Furse-Barzane: but it's old
[12:23] Almut Brunswick: Any form of map or picture would be most welcome
[12:24] Almut Brunswick: I would summarize it as a yet open point of improving communication with citizens
[12:24] Kyoko Furse-Barzane: control M will bring up the SL map which is pretty good for seeing what's what
[12:24] Richie Deschanel: suggest the map in your viewer
[12:24] Richie Deschanel: yes
[12:24] Almut Brunswick: And how can I guess then which part of the sim are you talking about?
[12:24] Lyubov Atheria: Thank you Almut. The members of the next LUC will be appointed starting at next week's Oath of Office Ceremony meeting. It is certain that some members of the current LUC will not be re-appointed. You may wish to direct your concern to the LUC members after those appointments are made.
[12:24] Almut Brunswick: This is not enough
[12:25] Almut Brunswick: Yes ok, let's postpone it then. Done.
[12:25] Lyubov Atheria: Thank you Almut.

[12:34] Mizou: Ah ok sure
[12:34] Mizou: So the roundabout in LA beside the harbour is the area for redesign

[12:36] Mizou: 1) create a newer roundabout with the new signage as we have now in AM
[12:36] Mizou: 2) move the kiosk, bicycle rack to the right of the bridge
[12:37] Mizou: 3) add the new 6 sim map also to the right of the bridge
[12:37] Kyoko Furse-Barzane: facing the water or the land?

[12:38] Mizou: Do you meanthe images that I added to the notecard?
[12:38] Kyoko Furse-Barzane: yes:)
[12:39] Mizou: ah ok, yes the smaller roudabout would be in the middle with the signage
[12:39] Mizou: and sudane suggested another round area beside the bridge and out of the way of traffic for all the other important information such as: kiosk, 6 sims map, etc
[12:39] Kyoko Furse-Barzane: the middle of what?
[12:40] Mizou: The middle would be the middle of the road coming down from CN
[12:40] Mizou: where the current median/roudabout is but smaller and more in the middle
[12:41] Lyubov Atheria: I think your proposal sounds great Mizou and I fully support it. It will be a small but pleasant change to the area.
