Brief Meeting Summary (Contributed
by Bethany Li, AALDEF).
Discussion about proportional
representation: -Danny: Proposed weighted interests based on demographics we decide
are important/ 1 vote/group within weighted interests -Doug: How would that work? E.g. would one group get 3 votes and the
Pistol Club would get one vote? Also has Pistol Club ever come after
first mtg.? -Jan: How does Pistol Club get the same vote as CCBA? Also
constantly saying we have 52 voting members is disingenuous. -Victor: This is a time to ask groups to reaffirm commitment to CWG.
Danny, Ed, Rob, Jan will work on proportional representation
structure and bring back to our next governance meeting.
Agreement among group that there should be a steering committee with
chairs that head various committees.
Discussion about co-chairs/no co-chairs: Issue breaks down between
people who want a person in charge of facilitation, spokesperson and
coordinator to ensure continuity and public voice for CWG and people
who want to split these roles among different people so that one
person does not hold all of this power as "chair."
Next meeting: Monday, November 8 at I.S.S. at 6pm

Committee Meeting, from 4-5:30pm, the Community Board 1 office,

October 4th,
2010, 6-8 pm, Full CWG meeting @ American Legion Post 1291, 191-193 Canal
Street, 2nd Floor.
On October 4th, the Chinatown Working Group (CWG) held its monthly
meeting, and passed three votes of significant importance.
Minutes
First, the members present voted to consider “finalizing” the
preliminary action plans of three committees: Education and Schools,
Immigrant Affairs and Social Services, and Parks, Open Space, and
Recreation. A vote to finalize the plan would mean that CWG members
could start meeting with representatives of various City agencies to
discuss the feasibility of the requests cited within each
Preliminary Action Plan.
Second, the members of the CWG voted to establish a subcommittee on
governance to discuss potential changes to CWG’s leadership
structure, distribution of workload, and voting process.
Lastly, the CWG voted on a temporary leadership structure of acting
co-chairs with a term of 3 months. In accordance with the previous
elections, one co-chair would be a representative from the downtown
Community Boards 1, 2, or 3, and the other co-chair would represent
a community based organization. Members elected Gigi Li
(representing Community Board 3) and Mae Lee (representing Chinese
Progressive Association) as CWG’s acting co-chairs. Former CWG
co-chairs Jim Solomon and Thomas Yu served for 18 months and led the
group from an ad hoc coalition of a few community stakeholders to
become a powerful voice for community planning in Chinatown and
neighboring communities. Both decided not to accept nominations.
While a change in leadership represents a time of transition for
CWG, we urge all community members and stakeholders to continue
working together to move the agenda of CWG forward. Our next
steering committee meeting is scheduled for Thursday, October 21st
from 4-5:30pm, the Community Board 1 office, located at 49-51
Chambers St. Room 715. An agenda will be sent out prior to the
meeting. All are welcome to attend and participate.
As the newly elected co-chairs of CWG, we are excited to carry on
the mission of CWG and build upon the work it has done. We look
forward to working with everyone in the community.
Sincerely,
Mae Lee, Acting Co-Chair Gigi Li, Acting Co-Chair

Community Announcements
Of special note, three CWG Working Teams (listed above) will be
presenting their "final" proposed Preliminary Action Plans & Study
Areas for consideration by the full CWG. These recommendations are
the result of a year-and-a-half of extensive community outreach via
regularly held public Working Team meetings, two Town Halls attended
by hundreds and conducted in multiple languages and feedback from
Community Board Committees focused on similar topics.
Just a reminder that no votes to endorse these proposals will take
place at Monday's meeting. The Full CWG will wait until ALL of the
Working Teams have submitted their "final" recommendations for
consideration before voting. The CAPZ and Economics & Transportation
Working Teams are still developing their recommendations and will
present their "final" proposals at the September Full CWG meeting.
Please note that due to scheduling conflicts the September Full CWG
meeting will no longer take place on Monday, September 13. It has
been rescheduled to Monday, September 20, 4-6pm @ American Legion.
Also of note at Monday's meeting, at the request of the CWG Finance
& Fundraising Committee, Mary McCormick, President of the Fund for
the City of New York, will make a brief presentation regarding
potential fiscal sponsorship of the CWG via its Incubator Program.
July 19, 2010, 6-8pm Full CWG meeting @

*CWG Planning Consultant Selection
Process & Criteria - Recommendations from CWG Planner Matrix
Committee CWG Working Team Progress Reports
CWG Finances & Fundraising
Community Announcements * Item #2 will be Monday's main agenda topic. As has been reported
at prior CWG meetings, last April the Lower Manhattan Development
Corporation generously gave the CWG - via the NYC Economic
Development Corporation (NYC EDC) - a $150,000 grant to hire a
planning consultant to assist with our comprehensive,
community-based 197a Plan. During the past month, the CWG's Planner
Matrix Committee has worked hard to identify what the CWG requires
of a planner ("Scope of Services") and how best to evaluate
potential applicants ("Scoring Matrix"). At this Monday's meeting,
the Full CWG will review the recommendations of our Planner Matrix
Committee and vote to endorse a
"Scope of Services" and
"Scoring Matrix". Given the length of these documents, we
request that CWG Voting members please review prior to the meeting
(and bring your own printed copies if one is desired). Click here to
see final version voted upon at this meeting -
CWG Scope of Services for EDC Selection of Planning Firm
Candidates, July 27, 2010
In addition, at Monday's meeting the Full CWG will select its three
CWG representatives to serve on a selection committee with reps from
NYC EDC.
Please note the CWG hopes to have a planning consultant on board by
October, so this Monday's meeting is an important step in this
process.
