Vice President Linda Huettl, Space 94, reported on various safety issues within the park including weed control, rodent control, fire hydrants and lack of designated shelters for any emergencies that may occur.  She also emphasized that rent stabilization would be back in the next legislature and that our current representatives voted against the bill.  This should be considered when we are voting in the upcoming elections.  In response to a question, people were reminded that in seeking police aid we call the Clark County Sheriff, not Vancouver City Police.
