This document summarizes the agenda and proceedings for a Near Eastside neighborhood summit. The summit brought together residents and stakeholders to share accomplishments, challenges, and propose new goals and actions to improve quality of life. Attendees heard taskforce updates on topics like education, diversity and inclusion, and revitalization. Proposals from the last summit were presented, and attendees visited information booths before voting. The ground rules focused on being constructive and adding items to the neighborhood plan by consensus. Residents were encouraged to stay engaged in ongoing improvement efforts.

8. Sherman Park Taskforce
Current Quality of Life Plan Action Item
Section 2: Business and Economic Development
Priority 2: Revitalization of Sherman Park
Action Item 1: Community with Develop Indy, tenants and
ownership entities about the importance of a successful reuse
plan for the 50-acre, 1.2 million sq. ft. former Sherman Park
10. Ground Rules
• The Summit is where we get ideas on the table. It is NOT where we solve
problems.
• Anyone can speak to a challenge, concern, or action tonight, but no person
can occupy the microphone for more than two minutes in total other than
the moderator or a presenter. Use your time wisely.
• Nothing is ultimately removed from or added to the Quality of Life Plan unless
75% of those gathered agree. Everyone can vote. Everyone can speak.
Summit Guidelines
11. • Be kind. Even if we disagree, our goal is to leave tonight as neighbors. Be
constructive. Use your time to be part of the solution and not as an
opportunity to complain.
• Share your name before you speak
• If you wish to speak on an issue, you must use a microphone so all can hear.
Summit Guidelines
12. • Present an idea at a Neighborhood Summit and propose a taskforce to
explore the idea
• You will need 50% of the summit attendee vote to form a taskforce
• If you “win the vote”, schedule a time to meet with the taskforce after the
summit to flesh out the idea. Attend the next Summit and present your
findings and action item.
• You will need 75% of the summit attendee vote to have the action item added
to the Quality of Life plan.
Adding Items to the Plan
13. • If you don’t “win the vote,” don’t give up! Use the feedback received from
the neighbourhood to make your idea better than before. Present your idea
again at a future summit.
Adding Items to the Plan
14. Instructions
• You will hear from neighbors who proposed an action item at the last
summit, and formed a taskforce to work on the proposal
• Each presenter has 3 minutes to introduce his/her proposal.
• Spend 15 – 20 minutes visiting the booths set up by the taskforces to
learn more about the proposals.
• Reconvene for voting on proposals
• Fill out summit engagement forms.
16. THANK YOU FOR COMING!

Notes de l'éditeur
Good evening and welcome to the Near Eastside Neighborhood Summit. I am your moderator for the evening Dan Goldblatt, from the Little Flower Neighborhood, and we are very excited to have everyone here! Before we get started, we’d like to take a moment to give a warm round of applause to Shepherd Community Center for hosting us this evening. We would also like to give a special thanks to People’s Health Center and Shepherd Community Center for providing Spanish translation for the Summit. Lastly, we would like to thank our neighborhood volunteers for helping to make this summit a success, this includes Chrystal, Andre, Patrick, etc…
Our first order of business will be a Promise Zone update provided by Melissa Benton of John Boner Neighborhood Centers. Please welcome Melissa to the front. (give Melissa the microphone)

Thank you Melissa. Up next we’ll get into our Quality of Life Action Items. If you’ve been following the E-News, keeping up with neighborhood announcements, and if you attended the last Summit, then you’ll know that this Summit will be the final Summit for taking inventory of our action items and allowing neighbors time to reevaluate our priorities when it comes to action items that have been difficult to implement. Does everyone have a Summit engagement form, a voting card, and something to write with? If you do not have a Summit Engagement form, a voting card, and something to write with, will you please raise your hand now and our volunteers will come around and bring you these items. While the volunteers are passing these out, I’m going to turn the microphone over to CoraLyn Turentine, the Director of Neighborhood Engagement for John Boner Neighborhood Centers, to provide some further information and instruction.
