HGBNA Meeting Wednesday, September 1, 2004
PROP
•
Councilman Thomas Crowder came by and explained the PROP Urban Preservation
Measures to us. Synopses can be found here
• Meeting this coming Tuesday, September 7 at 6:30 - The City Council
evening session begins at 7:00 PM. PROP is agenda item #15. Unless the mayor
reshuffles the agenda, it could be 7:45 - 8:30 before the PROP hearing begins.
Tour
of Homes
• Leann reported on the progress and the need to recruit more houses
and more neighborhood involvement, no matter how small.
• Jill is going to speak to Richard about the banner that may cross
Glenwood avenue advertising the Tour
• Started thinking about future goals for the Tour from 2005 and beyond.
Perhaps making it more "Oakwood-like"
• Discussed the fact that Oakwood is subsidized, etc. and that we don't
want it to be "another Oakwood" but we may invest more advertising
dollars in order to make more money from the fundraiser. Need to remember
that we have a limited budget.
• Rhett will arrange design and proposal for the banner to go over Glenwood
Avenue
• Online luminaria signup will be coming soon
Median Clean Up
• Looks like, due to the 10+ inches of rain we've received unexpectedly
this year, the date for the cleanup may be pushed back in order to allow Parks
& Rec to allocate people to help us.
• Jen will be getting in touch with revised dates- perhaps early October.
• Jen is going to fill out the application we received for an annual
azalea giveaway that we may qualify for.
• 30-50 people are the goal for volunteers and it's felt that this is
a reasonable figure.
• Looking into an alternate location for kids to gather so that parents
may help as well. Kids will not be allowed to take part in the cleanup "proper"
