KMCA Meeting – Monday 12/17/2018 @ KMES

The next KMCA general meeting will be held Monday December 17, 2018 at 7:30 PM at Kemp Mill Elementary School.

Please arrive a few minutes early and check in. Everyone who checks in will receive a key chain/safety whistle and a raffle ticket. We’ll have drawings during the meeting for some goodies from The Candy Man.

The detailed agenda is below.

For the agenda item regarding the land between Northwood High School and Northwood Terrace, there has been some concern raised that rather than turning the land over to MNCPPC so it can remain parkland, which we had previously been told was the plan, the land might instead be sold for private development. Our speakers will explain the situation and we’ll have an opportunity as a community to express our position on the future of that parcel of land.

We will also be voting on the KMCA budget for 2019.
