Sergeant Natalie Sanchez gave a police report. She had officers using radar to catch speeders in Glenwood Hills. She provided a crime report in Glenwood Hills for the last six mouths. She reported that they were 38 Auto/ home burglaries during this period (29 auto break-ins and 9 home burglaries). She reported that Tuesday mornings around 7am had the highest number of reported break-ins (this could also mean the cars were broken into sometime on Monday night and just reported Tuesday morning). A majority of the auto burglaries were widow break-ins (break & grab). She suggested that residents should not leave items insight in there auto. Seven (7) of these burglaries were on Spanish Bit near the apartments and seven (7) were on Landau (High Point parking lot). She also mentioned that the police will perform a “periodic watch” of your property if you are out of town. You need to call 332-5240 (Lomas Sup-Station) to request this service.
The board discussed this report. Since a large number of these burglaries were on Spanish Bit/Highpoint areas, Nick made a motion that we either send a letter or make a visit to the Alto Vista apartments, High Point, and Smiths to discuss security issues. The motion was seconded by Jack and passed. Roger C, Nick, and Dave will make these visits.

Minutes of the Oct. 7, 2008 board meeting were approved by motion and a unanimous vote.
A Treasury Report was resented by Dave Bentley. Dave reported that the police patrol expenditures for October was $3040, bringing the YTD total expenditure to $16,745.43, exceeding the annual patrol budget of $12,600. Marc Lachey indicated that the police increased their fees twice this year. The increases in police expenditures started in July. Dave said that sometimes the patrol expenditures for two mouths are paid in one mouth. Before any action on this matter could be taken, the meeting was interrupted buy an uninvited guest who refused to leave. The meeting was adjourned until this problem could be resolved.
After resolution of the problem the meeting was reconvened. Dee Acree was absent.
To help resolve the patrol budget problem, Nick Manole made a motion that the dues be increased by $50, effective December 1, 2008. The motion was approved.
Discussion then proceeded on steps that we need to take to get the police patrol expenditures under control. Marc indicated that the number of patrols for the rest of November and December have already been set. He also said that if we stop the police patrol, it may be difficult to restart them since there is a wait list for other groups which want access to the police overtime resources. It was decided to continue with these patrols and delay payment of the December bill until January 2008. It was also decided that the president, secretary, and treasure review patrol procedures (number of patrol each month, etc) for 2009.
