The meeting was opened by
Annie Wilson. The minutes were read by Barbara Carson and were approved as
read.
Picnic- Annie read the flyer that Antoinette handed out at
the picnic that invited people to participate on the Beautification
committee. The Picnic committee was
praised for their work. A good time was had by all. A discussion followed about
how to get more neighbors to attend. Kerri stated that more personal contact is
needed. Jon, Rosalie, and Kerri agreed to meet Saturday, September 24th at
10:00 a.m. to update telephone numbers and e-mail addresses.
Traffic Update - Jon reported that Gabe Garcia said that the bids for
the BH project were too high, and they will have to be submitted again.
Jefferson Street- Mim shared information about groups that plan and
create murals with participating high
school students. They also organize areas for clean-up activities. It was moved
and seconded that Mim will contact Dave McNeil to speak to us at the October or
November meeting about clean-up and beautification of Jefferson. The motion
carried.
Landscaping and Safety- Cheri stated that the bougainvillea behind the condos
are growing on the LaCienega side and this hinders walking on the sidewalk on
that street. Barbara will report this to the Condo Association. Kerri stated
that homeowners can be reminded in the BH meeting notices and newsletter that
it is their responsibility to keep sidewalks clear of shrubbery, overhanging
trees, etc.
Jon will ask Denise F. to
speak at a future meeting about plants that grow well and are suitable for
yards. She knows what kinds of plants to use and which ones need less water.
Jon will also share his experience with
solar power with the group.
The meeting was adjourned at
8:40 p.m. The next meeting will be held October 18, 2011 at 7:00p.m. at the KH
Community room.
