Mailboxes at Cullimore Cottages  
Attachments: Mailbox Cluster at 8th St  
Mitchell has been talking with the post master at Tiger Station about her concern on the  
location of the cluster mailboxes. Her concern is that with the two new houses, the  
homeowners will have to go all the way around the block or cut through her driveway in  
order for them to get their mail. She is still having issues with one of her neighbors pulling  
all the way up in her driveway to get their mail, in the area her child plays. When Mitchell  
talked with the post master, they said they are unable to do individuals mailboxes on the  
homes due to an ordinance. Mitchell and Trotter walked the neighborhood and found two  
locations noted two locations they believe would be good spots for the mailboxes. The  
two locations are both under street lights and one of the x’s is on a property line. Post  
master suggested the location on Rear Coats as that is the location they park their  
vehicles to deliver the mail to the cluster box. The cost to move the box would be for the  
concrete as the box is just bolted in. Amelunke let the board know that they may have to  
put out an RFP but could possibly be open market if its under $1,000. The location on  
Rear Coats would be on the thin strip of grass that is located between 1102 & 1104 Rear  
Coats. The board discussed what the next steps it would be in order to get the mailbox  
moved. Those steps include the board being on the same page about the mailboxes  
being moved and receiving input from the other homeowners that are not on the board. It  
was suggested to send out an email and invite them to January meeting. Since there are  
mailboxes already located on the homes and the CCLT owns the cluster box, it was  
mention to possibly just remove the cluster mailboxes as a whole.  
Motion that city staff email the residences of Cullimore to gage their  
understanding of what the preference for mail deliver would be between at  
home delivery or the cluster mailbox delivery: Trotter  
Motion to 2nd: LaBrunerie  
Motion passed: 9:0  
Presentation about the CCLT  
Hunt has been asked by three civic groups to do a presentation on the history of  
community land trusts and how the Columbia Community Land Trust operate. Hunt  
created a PowerPoint presentation to present but brought it to the board to review before  
he meets with those groups. Due to the time, Hunt asked the board to see if they want to  
review the slides tonight or the next meeting. Board discussed reviewing the PowerPoint  
presentation at January’s meeting but asked if the slides could be sent out beforehand so  
they can prepare questions. Wiesehan let the board know she can send out those slides.  
No Parking Signs on Rear Coats  
On Thursday evenings, there has been issues with parents for The Center Project parking  
at the end of Rear Coats completely blocking the homeowners in. Trotter is on currently  
on the board with The Center Project and has tried to handle the issue through them but  
has not had any luck so far. Trotter wanted to see if the CCLT could ask the city engineer  
to put no parking/fire lane signs up. Fair found on the city manager page where you can  
request no parking signs to be placed and will send the link to Trotter.  
VIII. GENERAL COMMENTS BY PUBLIC, MEMBERS AND STAFF  
No comment from public or board.  
Amelunke went by 115 Lynn and found a leak to a pipe. He was able to fix the leak but,  
in the process, found a second leak to the furnace exhaust. The leak is small and Geoff  
suggest going ahead and fixing it. Amelunke thinks it may cost around $1,000 to fix it but  
depends on what they find when they go in the attic.  
Sabra Mitchell left at 8:07pm.  
Motion to have a budget of $1,000 for any home minor repairs that has to happen  
for 115 Lynn
