North Park Estates Neighborhood Association board
minutes tuesday March 28, 2006 The Board
of Directors meeting of the North Park Estates Neighborhood Association
included: Members present
The Board Meeting was held at Wes and Mary Allen´s home Tuesday, March 28, 2006. Attendance indicated above.
Call to Order. The Vice-President, Jessica Currie, called
the meeting to order and passed out the agenda. OLD
BUSINESS 1. The Minutes of the last meeting were on
the website and those who had reviewed them approved them. 2. Larie Amsler then gave the Treasurer's
Report.
Since the last
meeting, $20.00 had been spent on flowers for Connie Gross. Larie Amsler reported that she had taken
flowers from the neighborhood association over to the house on Gemini where
Pat Lancaster had lived, as she passed away recently.Larie felt badly that she had not taken
the flowers earlier, and wanted to bear the cost of the flowers herself but
the flowers were apparently picked up by the family and the Board insisted
that Larie reimburse herself for the cost of the flowers. New lists of contributors to the Entrance
Sign Fund were presented to the Entrance Sign Committee. The Treasurer´s
report was approved. OLD BUSINESS 1. The Entrance
Sign Committee reported the engineer reported that he had checked with the
city´s permit department head on Friday, March 24th, and was told
that the permits should be released this week. The engineer´s bill of over $818. was given to the Treasurer to
pay. This amount was not planned in
the budget for the sign, so additional contributions to the sign fund may be
needed. 2. The neighborhood Garage Sale to be held on
April 22nd, from 8:00a.m. to 1:00 p.m. was discussed. It was decided that signs would be placed
at the entrances to the neighborhood, and that each household having a garage
sale should post their own sign on their lot and perhaps at the corner of
their street (with the property owner´s permission). Other advertisements would be on Craig´s
List, and perhaps other inexpensive or free places. 3. The annual
neighborhood association picnic and meeting on May 6th was then
discussed and it was decided that the association would provide BBQ brisket,
tea, lemonade, bread, ice, plates, utensils and napkins. Participants would bring covered dishes to
add to the meal. We called the
Sellers on their cell phone and obtained permission to hold the picnic
meeting in the shady backyard of their home. Dues for this year will be due at that meeting. It was decided that the newsletter will
announce a Silent Auction to be held at the picnic, with the proceeds going
to the Entrance Sign Fund. The
newsletter will encourage people to bring whatever worthy items they have
left unsold from the Neighborhood Garage Sale to offer at the Silent Auction. 4. The zoning case having to do with the
development of the property at Braker Lane and Parkfield was next on the
agenda. It seems that the zoning of
LR originally excluded fast food, but that the City´s regulations have
changed and now it includes that. Therefore it was felt that we can
"fight" the fast food aspect of the development, and perhaps the church
across the street can protest against liquor sales. Carol Fritz volunteered to work with the church on this
matter. She encouraged people to
individually ask City Council members who are running for re-election - such
as Brewster McCracken and Will Wynn to oppose the development of the Shell
gas station, and Church´s chicken, especially the drive-thru and the liquor
sales aspect of the development. There is a neighborhood petition circulating, and a version of it will
be taken around by those who will deliver the soon-to-be produced
neighborhood association newsletter. 5. The newsletter will include most of the
above news, but as Jessica Currie´s computer is malfunctioning, the
newsletter may not be produced this coming weekend, as previously hoped for. There was no
other old business. NEW BUSINESS 1. Larie Amsler reported that the wooden
fence along Braker Lane Larie had had rotten and damaged wood slats replaced
and that whereas it doesn´t look good, it is the best the City could do,
since replacing the whole thing was not in the budget for 2006. 2. A motion to adjourn was made by Larie
Amsler and seconded by Wes Allen, and the vote to adjourn was unanimous. Footnotes: Board meeting dates are
