President’s Report:
Minutes of the Annual GHNA Meeting on Sept 1, 2009 were approved by the board.
Roger talked to Elizabeth Shields about the “Dog” Park south of the police substation. Elizabeth said that a public meeting will be held before a vote on the park is taken. He also reported that Roger Abbott sent in our annual Glenwood Hills Neighborhood Association Report which was approved by the city so we are good for another year.
Treasury Report: Roger Abbott reported that the September Treasury report was posted on the web site.
District 8 Coalition, Environment / Landscaping, Block Captain: No Report
Welcome Committee: Carole reported that she put together 21 welcome “packs”.
Neighborhood Patrol Report: Marc LaChey reported on crime/patrols.
Web site Report: Roger Abbott reported that the GHNA Group Email sign-ups are at 276. Roger reported that the quarterly reports are due. He also said that the reports page on the web site needs editing and updating.
New Business: Nick suggested that our monthly board meeting time be changed from 7:30 to 6:30 so that we can get home earlier. Since there was no objection to this change, Nick moved for this change. The motion was 2nd and it passed unanimously.
Old Business: The next annual meeting was discussed. Our last meeting did not have a good attendance. It was questioned whether the cost and effort of our current format for this meeting was worth the effort. Nick suggested that the next annual meeting be held at the police substation. This meeting could be held both inside and outside the substation to prevent over loading fire marshal limitation on the meeting room. We would also have access to the bath rooms in the substation. It was suggested that a Saturday might be better meeting date. The board decided to have more discussions on this subject at future board meetings.
Steve reported that a no U-tern sign was installed on Montgomery at the turn off just before entering GWHs.
Next Meeting:
The next board meeting will held November 3, 2009 at the police substation at 6:30pm.
These minutes prepared by roger Abott, Secretary GHNA Board.
