Glenwood Hills Neighborhood Association Board Meeting
Dwyer Substation
Meeting was called to order by Vice President Woody Owens
Board members in attendance: Roger Abbott, Dave Bentley, Dee Acree, Woody Owens, Carole Rising, Jack Oestreicher, Steve Ciepiela, Nick Manole
Members absent: Roger Cook
Minutes of the March 3, 2009 board meeting were approved by the board.
Officer Chavez, APD, made a crime report. He reported that a “traffic enforcement” effort in the Glenwood Hills area resulted in 150 tickets. These tickets were for speeding and stop sign violations. Officer Chavez is moving to day shift and will not be reporting at our meetings.
President’s Report: no report
Treasury Report: Dave Bentley reported that the March 2009 expenditures/income is published on the web site.
District 8 Coalition Report: Steve Ciepiela made a report of the March, 2009 meeting. This report is published on the report page of the web site. Please note that a “dog park” is planed south of the Dwyer Police Station.
Block Captains program: no report
Web site Report: Roger Abbott that the GHNA Group Email sign-ups are at 218. The large increase was the results of sending a post card to all residents who are members of the GHNA asking them to sign up for group emails. Since this effort was successful, Roger suggested that the same effort be made to the approximate 400+ non GHNA residence. Steve Ciepiela moved that we authorize $150 for this effort. The motion was seconded and was approved.
Roger reported that our SSL security certificate with Go Daddy was up for renewal. Also our domain renewal was also due. Our Go Daddy web site agreement was for two years. Roger recommended that all three of these items be put on a two year agreement. There would be a 20% saving off our order of $75 or more. Steve Ciepiela moved that this suggestion be authorized. The motion was seconded and was approved.
Roger Cook asked Roger Abbott to discuss the need of a newsletter for those who have not signed up for GHNA Group Emails or for those that do not have computers. Newsletters are expensive ($600 or more) and requires a large effort. Some possibilities include using the Block Captain structure or provide a simplified news sheet at our annual meeting or some other place. Another consideration is that if residence’s our not interested in participating in our group email group (which is free) they are probably not interested in any neighborhood communications. Also, serious consideration should be given to GHNA members who do not have computers. Both Roger’s want the board members to consider solutions for this concern. In the mean time, efforts to solicit residence to sign up for emails should continue.
Garden Club Report: Carole reported that the Easter Egg Hunt is scheduled for April 11th.
Landscaping Report: Nick requested that we support landscaping efforts of the Glenwood Lofts along Montgomery. Jack Oestreicher moved that we provide $50 for this effort. The motion was seconded and was approved.
Other Business: Dee Acree mentioned that Jack LeRoy died and asked if there was any policy to honor Past GHNA presidents. Steve Ciepiela moved that we donate $50 to charity of Bing LeRoy choice. The motion was seconded and approved.
Old Business: Nick asked that we continue to promote a police parking lot north of the police substation and the Tramway access problem,
Next Meeting:
The next board meeting will be held May 5, 2009 at the police substation at 7:30.
note: All standing committee reports will be posted on the website instead of in the meeting minutes. Please see the reports page on the website for these updates.
