D1 DISTRICT 1 COMMUNITY LEADERSHIP COMMITTEE 2013 YEAR END REVIEW
WHY WE CREATED THE DISTRICT 1 CLCD1
BREAKDOWN OF THE DISTRICT 1 MEETINGSD1
Many Detroit residents kept asking the questions: “Now that we have an EM, what’s next?” and “Who’s going to convene meetings to discuss what will happen once we transition to a district form of governance in 2014?” Those questions and many others led Councilman Tate to commission the creation of the District 1 Community Leadership Committee.
Initially, it engaged only the leadership of the various community associations and block clubs in D1 because it had to have an agenda that was both manageable and focused. Now that subcommittees have been formed to address issues such as blight and the creation of block clubs, broader involvement from everyone within the district is necessary.
Despite the federal bankruptcy ruling and the many challenges that Detroit faces, there are many impressive developments happening in the city. There are a number of entities that have positive, progressive plans for our city’s future. However, residents should and must have the loudest voice in determining what our city will eventually transform into.
The goal of the D1 Committee is to develop a collaborative framework that will attract resources from the philanthropic and business communities as well as the various branches of government to neighborhoods of D1.
Mission Statement:District 1 is a coalition of community organizations committed and dedicated to serve community interest, share
information, and resources to support residents, businesses, and faith-based organizations via a “central hub”
Vision Statement:District 1 shines as a safe and clean community of choice for families and businesses
Vision Goals:Organizations that gather and collect information and dissemination of knowledge for all stakeholders
Develop academic, recreational and employment opportunities for youth and communityBuild a clean and safe community - Effective use of public land and vacant lots
Create a collective calendar
Meetings take place every 4th Saturday from 10am-12:30pm in various locations around District 1 (unless it’s a holiday weekend or an abundance of other community events taking place on that day)
Meetings take place at various locations within District 1 which: Builds a sense of unity between groups across the district Creates mutual support on issues and concerns, making the district strongerWe discovered: New bonds and friendships were built People who “knew” of each other, but hadn’t spent time together were formerly introduced People supported events in other communities outside of their own
We focused on the history of districts in Detroit and what led to the resurgence of a district based governance system. We discussed to importance of community collaboration. We created a list of assets and challenges located in District 1.
A representative from McKenna Associates spoke on community planning and we discussed the importance of developing a community group identity website, Facebook page presence, logo and other methods of branding. You told us during a questionnaire that the three most important issues to you were: crime, blighted and abandoned homes and block club development which led to the creation of sub-committees which will focus on those three issues.

The past eight months has been an exciting and fruitful experience as we set about designing and fortifying the District 1 Community Leadership Committee. It has been and will continue to be a collaborative effort. This means that every individual who comes to a D1 meeting has a part to play in the Committee’s development. Thanks for your patience, participation and presence at the meetings. Thanks also for every comment, suggestion and question. We will succeed when we refute that which attempts to separate us and come together as one entity that is D1 DEDICATED!
