New Business
Single Family
Residences
Pam Jiles asked Art to look into a possible "Group Home" located on
Knoxville. Anita Fritz said there was another problem home located
on Knoxville, with 5 grown men living in it and the police being called
out several times, and one on Louisville. Annie Cornell and Regina
Roderick know the people in the Louisville home and said it was just a
large family.
Art was asked to
address these problems in the newsletter and to start sending the
newsletter to the actual owners of all the residences as well to the
renters. He will contact the city about code enforcement and the
group homes, then the city will get involved.

July Pat Carr
August Annie Cornell
Sept. Jerry Warren
Volunteers to start
the first Monday of their month and change the sign each Monday.
New Projects
Art said he asked residents to contact him with feedback on street
lamps and all who contacted him but one was in favor. However,
residents had other added suggestions such as entrance gates to cut down
on vandalism and a concrete fence around the perimeter. After some
discussion, everyone at the meeting thought they were good ideas but
there is question as to the costs and feasibility. Committees were
formed to find out more information on these three projects.
Street Lamps
Gloria Jones had already contacted some electrical contractors and said
they all wanted to do all the street lamps at once and not one at a time
like Street Lamps of America. Pam Jiles suggested contacting
builders or developers to see who they purchase lights through.
Terri Harden said she could contact some people she knew. And
Regina Roderick said her husband Pat would find out what some of the
specs would be. Jerry Blevins. said they needed to be at least 14
feet high. Art said he would check with PSO to see if they will
charge for wiring some of the unlit areas that need lights.
Gates
Pat Carr volunteered to start some pricing and research on entrance
gates.
Perimeter Fencing
Art and Pam Jiles said they would volunteer to get costs on the fencing.
Art also discussed the three ways to finance a project
1. Turtle Creek Loan.
2. Assessment. Will take a 70% vote.
3. Pay as we have the money.
Other Business
Back Dues
Anita Fritz and Art discussed what to do about back dues. Art
said he would like to compose a letter like he did year before last to
send to the delinquent homeowners. After seeing what that response
is then he will call a Board meeting on how to handle the delinquent
accounts.
Pot Luck Pay Day
Carolyn Isbell-Carr suggested we have a neighborhood pot luck party,
maybe in May and have it in a cul-de-sac or block off part of the
street. It will be a "Dues Party" encouraging people to come and
pay their dues at the same time. Everyone in attendance was in
favor and Carolyn will check the city ordinances.
The meeting was
adjourned at 8:05p.m. |
