The Greenbelt City Council had a relatively light agenda for its October 10 regular meeting, which opened with recognition of the month of October as National Co-op Month and the week of October 10 as Nonprofit Awareness Week. Other items included contracting for the development of a Tree Master Plan, approval of guidelines for city recognition groups, bonuses for recruiting new police officers, insurance for the Greenbelt Intergenerational Volunteer Exchange Service (GIVES), a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Greenbelt Access Television (GATE) and new locations for red light cameras.
National Co-op Month is sponsored by the National Cooperative Business Association. Representatives from five of the city’s six active co-ops received proclamations on behalf of their groups, including the Greenbelt
Consumer Cooperative, Inc. (Joe Gareri), the Greenbelt Federal Credit Union (Ed James), Greenbelt Homes, Inc. (Stephan Brodd), the Greenbelt News Review (Sylvia Lewis) and the Greenbelt Nursery School (Anna Bedford Dillow). To read the full article in the paper, click here.
