Notes in order of meeting discussion:

The meeting was called to order at 7:15 by Dave Boyer

Present at meeting: Dave, Kevin, Betty Lou, Stuart, Jean, Sharon, Linda, Bud, Karen and Margaret.

New Grant for 2006: to be used for Mailings, Neighborhood Picnic, 4th of July Parade, and neighborhood cleanup and beautification.

The first neighborhood meeting of the year held in January is the recruitment for officers and board members and goal setting for the year. To get a large crowd we need to send out a large mailing in December to announce the meeting to the Neighborhood.

Stewart made a motion to use the balance of the 2005 Grant of $1,107.11 to be spent on communications for the mailing of the announcement.

All voted yes the motion was carried.

The discussion was to use what ever is needed to finish out the mailing for the January 2006 meeting, something between $400 to $500. The remaining amount is to be used to buy

    1. 50 new neighborhood meeting announcement signs, the old ones are falling apart.
    2. As many pick-er-uppers with what monies are available after buying the signs.
    3. If possible a test on Forbes Lake Water Quality.

Discussion that the original intent for the supplemental grant became unfeasible after further research.

Karen emailed the city and Kari Paige confirmed that since we could not use the grant for the tool library that we could buy a piece of equipment for the new Woodlands Park play ground.

Betty Lou made a motion to remove the action from the prior board meeting of allocating $750 to be presented to the next neighborhood meeting. Linda Seconded the motion.

Discussion: -Stuart felt the $750 was still a good idea,

-Betty Lou thought it was good to keep a cushion in the account for any unforeseen needs and when the rules change where the city reimburses rather than give the grant monies all at once.

-Kevin thought it prudent to keep the cushion for unknown operational items. We can readdress at a later date when the city confirms how reimbursement will happen.

-Linda agreed to the cushion.

All Voted 1 apposed motion carried.

 

Betty Lou made motion to change the direction of the $1500 Supplemental Grant money originally to get a tool library established. Margaret Seconded.

Karen made motion to re-allocate the original Grant monies to be spend on the Woodlands General Fund to make NRHN a major sponsor of the Play Ground.

All voted Motion Carried

85th Street CAC

Comp Plan adopted in 2001, no zoning done at that time.

The CAC has been working on creating 3 business zones going up 85th.

Nearest the Freeway a regional center with taller buildings and including auto dealerships and other auto support.

124th to 128th Neighborhood section, lower buildings, having business that serves the neighborhood

128th to 132nd less intense use, buffer to the neighborhood.

 

This is a continuation of the last board meeting regarding the property on the corner of 85th and 128th where the tire company is in business. The owner wants more leeway on his property and the CAC would like the comp plan followed.

Karen motioned to have a letter written to send to city council

To Keep the Original Vision in the Comp Plan regarding this parcel.

To make the tire business non conforming so in future the owner cannot upgrade the property and if the tire business leaves it can no longer have an auto support business come in.

Linda seconded the motion, Betty Lou and Karen will write the letter and Dave to sign.
