I have been a member of the Ballard District Council for a couple of years, first representing the Whittier Heights Community Council, currently the 15th Avenue NW Association. Disturbed by the lack of a BDC website, I volunteered to create one and was referred to a committee that had previously been set up for this reason. We met a couple of times, but then inertia took over and nothing real was done. I made a brief report to the council, but no decisions were taken and content wasn't created. All I had was a placeholder in the Community Links section of my navbar to remind me of the project.
Yesterday I decided to do something about it. I have created the Unofficial Ballard District Council website, ballarddistrictcouncil.org. There you will find agendas, calendars, meeting minutes (coming soon), a list of member organizations, name of officers and the bylaws. Perhaps one day this will become the official site and I will have help maintaining it. Until that time, look for updates around the second Tuesday of the month, which is when meetings are held.
