The meeting was largely uneventful. The highlight was the news that Casey Trees plans to relocate their downtown headquarters to a site on Brookland's 12th Street Corridor. Representatives from Casey Trees and the architect handling the property delivered presentations. The project is still in the early phases, but Casey Trees hopes to have the office up and running a year from this summer. They also discussed new tree planting and residential reimbursement programs upon which they are partnering with the District.
Other business discussed included the upcoming [February 23rd] Ward 5 Economic Development Summit, efforts by Harry Thomas' office to work with youth in need of preparation to secure employment, and various administrative matters. Kwame Brown made a brief appearance, but was merely passing through.

Somewhat off topic. We've had a couple of discussions about crime cameras. The Post is reporting that DC police go live monitoring crime cameras.
