Grantley Crichlow says the Board will hear from the Community Board Assistance Unit and the Police Department%u2019s North Command which will incorporate the 88th and 84th Precincts covering Board Two communities.The Board will also discuss Clinton Hill residents%u2019 concern for the Methadone Center on Fulton Street administered by the Addition, Research and Treatment Center (ARTC) and ihe remodeling plans for the comfort station in Fort Greene Park.Community Board Two will meet November 14 at 6pm at 501 Carlton Avenue (close to Atlantic Ave.) in the Community Center%u2019s ground floor. For information, call the Board office, 596-541%u2014IVSMethodist Free Care EndsMethodist Hospital%u2019s 20 year obligation to provide free care for the indigent in return for federal construction grants will expire at the end of 1979 a hospital press release says.In 1959 the hospital, located at 7th Ave. and 5th Street, received a $500,000 grant to pay for the construction of the Miner Pavilion and in return it was to provide $50,000 worth of free medical care for needy people.Hospital officials say that their free services or reduced cost treatments exceed what the contractual commitment prescribed and point out that in 1978 the hospital spent more than $500,000 for this purpose. The funds are provided by donations to the hospital.Feds Grant Arts FundsIn a change from its former policy of giving large grants to established institutions the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) this year gave smaller grants, two of them in Brooklyn, to organizations that might be more experimental in its programming. The Brooklyn Philharmonia and the Brooklyn Center for the Performing Arts at Brooklyn College (BCBC) each were awarded $50,000 in challenge grants. They were part of the $26 million in federal grants given each year to some 200 groups nationwide. The grants provide that both institutions receive $1 in federal funds for every $3 it raises from private sources and they will have three years to find the necessary matching gifts to the NEA grants.Maurice Edwards, Managing Director of the Brooklyn Philharmonia, said that he kicked off the fundraising for the private matching funds with an appeal to a concert audience last Feburary and added that $40,000 of the total $150,000 required had already been raised. Both the Brooklyn Philharmonia and BCBC report that the money will be used to erase their deficits as well as to provide for their current budget needs. %u2014IVSLocal Board Sets NeedsA Subcommittee of Board Two%u2019s Planning and District Development Committee is getting organized to work with the City in the planning for development of Atlantic Terminal Urban Renewal Area (ATURA) sites 1 and 5. The two highly visible sites, on the West Side of Flatbush at Fourth Ave., are the subject of a %u201crequest for proposal%u201d being issued by the Housing Preservation and Development Department (HPD) seeking proposals for use of the sites, which are now a parking lot, also used for the Greenmarket, and a vacant lot and some brownstone buildings, housing a pawnbroker and Midtown Florists.The Board Two Subcommittee is being brought together by the Planning and District Development Committee Chairman, Marcia Rimler, who scheduled a first meeting for Wednesday, Nov. 7. Rimler listed participating organizations as the Atlantic Avenue Committee, Boerum Hill Association, State Street Block Association, Brooklyn Academy of Music, Williamsburgh Bank, Fort Greene Nonprofit Corporation, the First Atlantic Terminal Housing Corp., and the Fort Greene Landmarks Preservation Committee, Community Board Six, and the Tri-Block Association.The Committee will have an advisory role similar to that of the Ad-Hoc Block 207 Committee which participated recently in the selection of the developer for the, partly vacant site in the Cadman Plaza Urban Renewal area. Even after HPD has designated a developer, for each site, plans will go through the Uniform Land Use Review Procedure (ULURP) which also involves the Community Board.Terminal Renewal Sites EyedOn November 5 Community Board Two met for the second time to try and vote on its budget priorities after it failed to get a quorum at its October 29th meeting. Tentatively the Board approved as its first priority a $100,000 study for a %u201c comprehensive development strategy,%u201d the next nine priorities in order of importance are: a $5,524,000 request for a Sara J.
