A Board meeting was held at Wes and Mary
Allen¹s home Saturday, October 21st, 2005. Attendance indicated above.
The President, David Nuhn, began the
meeting by passing a lit candle to Dale Sellers, symbolizing transferring the
torch of authority from one President to the next, and from former officers
and members to new officers and members.
He then thanked various people for their efforts and accomplishments
in the past year. He outlined some of
the accomplishments of the past year which included the following:
* Police action in our area has reduced crime; we have had
the highest number of patrol officers in north central Austin .
* The gathering of neighbors at Neighborhood Night Out has helped to bring
our neighborhood
together.
*Significant reduction in the negative impact of a homeowner with less
than desirable maintenance of his property.
*Progress on getting the Entrance Signs replaced.
New President Dale
Sellers thanked Jessica, Laurie, A.J., Sammy, David, Mary and Wes, and
Gene and Lou for all their efforts.He commented it takes all of us together to make the neighborhood
association work best. Dale wants to
accomplish the following while serving the neighborhood: improve the fence on
Braker, improve NNO, keep the Best Christmas Decoration Contest going, get
the neighborhood watch back on track, organize the block captains, follow
zoning changes, clean up the trash in the neighborhood, get a newsletter
backup and get everyone more involved as a community.
Call to Order.
- Larie Amsler gave the Treasurer¹s
report. The Entrance Sign fund
has $3503.92, the Flower fund has $143.19, and the General Fund has
$615.00. She noted that the
$615.00 in the General Fund could go quickly and that we may need to have a fund raiser if that
seems necessary. It was proposed
by Wes Allen that if there is money left over from the Entrance Sign
fund, that we might transfer that leftover money to the General Fund if
approved at the next General Meeting in May.
- There was discussion about a future
newsletter to be put out around November 15th concerning
Christmas decorations and a contest centering around that. A committee composed of Gene McCoy as
Chairwoman and Pat Huffstutler as Member was appointed to choose prize
categories and to seek prize donations from nearby businesses.
- Sign Committee Report by Mary
Allen. Copies of preliminary
plans prepared by Alan Rhames, Engineer, were handed out and
discussed. A change in the footprints will be necessary as the current signs extend about 8 feet into
the City of Austin right of way, and the new signs will need to
be built out of the right of way.
- Significant discussion ensued about
creating sign holders to be placed in the medians on North Bend and
possibly Austin Park Lane to hold poster boards announcing upcoming
neighborhood activities. Dale
Sellers agreed to chair a committee to work on the details of this
project. (Who else agreed to be
on it?)
- David Nuhn moved that the meeting
adjourn and Lou McCoy seconded.The vote was unanimous. A
covered dish lunch followed.
