Far Southwest Neighborhood Association (FSWNA) Minutes
Tuesday, July 10, 2007 (7 pm to 8:15 pm)

Comfort Suites Motel - Barbur Blvd., Portland, Oregon
Guests: Linda Gerber (PCC Sylvania Campus President), Bob Ochs (Bureau of Technology Services Project Manager), Matt Lamp (Bureau of Technology Services Engineer?), and Ken Goodwin (PCC Director of Public Safety)

I. Highlights from the PCC Sylvania Campus President (Linda Gerber)
Sustainability is one of PCC's priorities. PCC District President Preston Pulliams just signed the President's Climate Commitment (http://www.presidentsclimatecommitment.org/) committing PCC to reduce carbon emissions and to adopt more sustainable practices. Some practices to accomplish this commitment include: encouraging habitat restoration (such as the Sylvania Habitat Team's work in Sylvania Natural Area Park and on campus); improving recycling efficiency; encouraging reduced resource usage; improving transportation options, including working with Trimet; and incorporating better building operations and practices.
Some new programs have been established, such as an engineering program about alternative energy technologies.
Sylvania is planning a community garden (aka "learning garden") on campus that will begin small, but eventually the college hopes to invite the neighbors to adopt plots.
Sylvania wants to help build stronger relationships with surrounding schools, such as Markham, Jackson, and Wilson. Some dual credit (HS & PCC) courses and advising are currently offered. Linda wants students to be familiar and comfortable with PCC before they graduate from high school.
Linda hopes to collaborate more internally and externally with the community, such as encouraging the use of the community education classes, Performing Arts Center and athletic facilities.
Sylvania would like to work with our neighborhood, SWNI, and the city to support and develop our security and emergency response services.
Linda is open to speaking with neighbors. Call 503-977-4357 to make sure that she is in and she will try very hard to meet with you. Her email is linda.gerber@pcc.edu .
