Attending: Chika Saeki, Mikele Schappell, David Goldstein, Rachel Studer, Amy Hunter, Judy Harrison, Trent Thelen.
A resident of the area around Whole Foods, David Goldstein came to this meeting to discuss possible solutions to the noise in his block. He lives behind Whole Foods and says that the garbage pick up for the store comes three days a week at 5:00 am. and that the roof top air conditioner is extremely noisy. He has discussed both problems with the management. No solution has been suggested by them for the air conditioner, but they stop the garbage for a time and then it resumes at the early hour. He was directed to talk to Jeff Strang to put him in the right direction.
