    RECAP of County “Meet & Greet” Community Meeting, Aug. 15th

    Plan to Convert Monterey/Bernal EIH site to a Jail Diversion Program

    The County of Santa Clara has offered to purchase the Bernal/Monterey Emergency Interim Housing Site (6066 Monterey Road at the intersection of Bernal) from the City of San Jose, for the purpose of refocusing it into a jail diversion facility. The County’s proposal involves replacing the homeless residents of this site with individuals from collaborative courts – adults with underlying problems that lead to criminal behavior, including mental illness, substance use disorders or both.

    The community had many questions about how the program would be run at the August 15th meeting that were not able to be answered.  This new meeting on Sept. 11th is an opportunity to ask more questions and voice your opinion about the program.    

    LPNA does not take a position on controversial subjects.  This information is being provided to keep our members informed about what is going on in our neighborhood and surrounding area, and to provide an opportunity for our members to express their view to the relevant parties, such as County Staff and representatives, City Staff and City Council members.

    Please see FULL RECAP that was sent out on 9/3/24 for more details on the Jail Diversion Program and information on how you can weigh in on the project.

  • Proposed Bylaw Changes for LPNA

    The Los Paseos Neighborhood Association Board is proposing a few small changes to the LPNA Bylaws. These are the first changes since the original Bylaws were approved in 2016. The changes will be voted on by the members at the next General Meeting, on Thursday, September 19, 2024.

     

    The changes are proposed to:

      • recognize that meetings may be held virtually (e.g. on Zoom),
      • provide for posting draft quarterly meeting minutes before they are approved at the next meeting,
      • clarify the quorum for a Board meeting,
      • revise the financial oversight duties of the President to be more practical, and
      • clarify the provision for non-participation in political campaigns.

     

    The proposed changes are marked in red text in the draft. It is also posted on the Governing Documents page for reference.
