Minutes of Last Board Meeting: 

LINDA VISTA NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH

MEETING MINUTES – July 5, 2011

The meeting was called to order by Chairman, Jep Craig.  He then called upon Don Daily to have the invocation and Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag.

Chairman Craig then welcomed and thanked everyone for coming and commented on the good turnout for a holiday week.

The minutes for the last meeting and the financial report were read and approved as presented.

Chairman Craig commented on a joint meeting with the Beaver Runn association leaders in which it was decided that it would be beneficial to all involved if we have two separate associations.  The conflict of interest and needs between city and county would cause long meetings and possible disinterest.  It was agreed that separation was the best idea, with the two associations coming together at least once a year in order that we know our neighbors and share insights.

It was also shared that Moss Creek has jointed the LVNW group and Kay Dominy was welcomed as a representative of that group.

Brenda Pauldo was recognized and mentioned the recent robbery at the Nancy Claxton home.  The stolen property was recovered and arrests will be made.  She stated that whenever we have work done in our homes we need to know as much as possible about the workers and make sure valuable property is securely hidden.

Chairman Craig reported that the neighborhood ice-cream social was a big success and enjoyed by all who attended.  Don Daily reported the presence of neighbors from Moss Creek and also said that a good time was had by all.

Chairman Craig thanked everyone for the wonderful desserts that were brought in addition to the ice-cream.

A report was made on the status of the possible new outside lighting for the neighborhood.  Chairman Craig said that if we have not already checked out the new light in front of his home, we need to do so.  The difference is unbelievable.  He does not have a price yet on this change, but is working on having that for us soon.  We will have to have ¾ of our 93 homes voting yes for this change to be made.  Notification will be sent out when we know more.

It was mentioned that we have new neighbors in the Ingrando house on Chennault.  Jason and Lisa Powell.  The idea was presented that some of our men get together and clean the yards for them.  A motion was made, seconded and passed that we start with this family and present new families with a fruit basket or some such token when they move in.  A total price of $25.00 was set for this offering.

Gerald Payne reported on the possible solution to the speeding problem on Shamrock.  A three-way stop at the end of Merrill Drive has been dropped as not being the best solution.  Gerald is looking into 2 inch high speed break strips to be added at three locations before reaching the stop sign on Springdale.  This is a cheaper solution and has been successful in other locations.  The cost at this time is not known, but would be cheaper that some of the other suggestions.

Wallace Miller mentioned that the Caskey house on Shamrock is now empty and someone else mentioned that they believe that the house is in foreclosure.

Wallace also asked it the traffic on Chennault is any worse with the move of Wal-mart farther out highway 80.  Someone commented that they do not think the traffic on Chaennault is any worse.

Chairman Craig mentioned the possibly of redoing the entrance to Linda Vista from Shamrock Drive.  Maybe we need to put lamps on the pillars, but we would need to provide electricity if this is done.  It was stated that originally there were lamps on the pillars, but they were vandalized and replace by the brass plated that are there now.

There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned.

Respectfully submitted,

Elsie Rogers, Secretary/Treasurer
