St. Mark's Civic Association's monthly meeting saw a small turnout, with only between 15 and 20 people present. The agenda was short - Luis Jiminez, the Association's president, had a plane to catch to Puerto Rico at 11:00! Officer Keaney reported on incidents that were recorded in the neighborhood - none were truly of note. St. Mark's area sees more incidents due to the fact that Dot Ave and Adams Street run through the neighborhood, however, none were incidents that affect residents. Joe McEachern discussed the city's eAlert program, which keeps residents informed of crime happening in their neighborhoods.
