Hello,

Once again, the folks who wrote the Block Watch Grant Request for the Bel Air Neighborhood have refused my request to make it public.  So, I obtained a copy of the 2014 document through a public records report. It may be found at:

Since the neighborhood didn't have the opportunity to review the document in advance of submission, objections to its content should be raised the Neighborhood Block Watch Fund Oversight Committee meeting when the Bel Air request is considered. Meeting and contact information may be found at:

My larger concern is that we have unelected people who have taken it upon themselves to bring changes to our neighborhood in a deliberately non-transparent way.
