[Community Board 14](http://www.cb14brooklyn.com/?ref=bklyner.com) held its monthly meeting last night at [Edward R Murrow High School](http://www.ermurrowhs.org/?ref=bklyner.com). The next monthly meeting will be **Monday, December 9 at PS 249,** and the public is welcome to attend. Here’s what happened this month:

- **The board has approved, *in concept,* a permanent structure to be used by the [Gallop NYC therapeutic riding program](http://gallopnyc.org/?ref=bklyner.com) in Prospect Park.** The structure will be an approximately 60 x 120-foot canopied riding arena near the corner of Caton Avenue and Coney Island Avenue, and the $3 million necessary for the project has already been approved by City Council. On top of the approximately 70 riders Gallop serves each week, a certain number of hours per week will be dedicated to public use. The design phase has yet to come,though, so it’s still a long way off.
- District Manager Shawn Campbell reminded neighbors to **change their smoke alarm batteries**, and says **batteries are available at the CB14 District office** (810 E 16th Street near Avenue H). If you know someone who needs a smoke detector, Shawn says to **get in touch with the office (718-859-6357) and they will contact the FDNY about providing those as well.**
- Board Chairman Alvin Berk took a moment to **thank members Joe Basso and Joseph Dweck for their dedication to the community** as heads of the Public Safety and Transportation Committees. Both Joes are stepping down as committee heads.
- **The Community Board 14 office** [**will be closed** on Veterans Day](http://www.cb14brooklyn.com/cb14-district-office-closed-on-monday-1112/?ref=bklyner.com) and Thanksgiving.
