The Foster Care and Adoption Program in Jefferson County for the Cabinet for Health and Family Services is looking for Foster Parents in our area. Our recruitment plan is very community-based and focuses on placing children into homes in the same areas that they are being removed from in order to keep them in the same schools, neighborhoods, churches, and other familiar things in the community.   People interested should call 502-595-KIDS(5437) Ext 5562.  Parents should meet the following criteria:

• be at least 21 years old
• be physically and mentally stable
• may be single, married, divorced or widowed
• financially stable (You are currently able to meet the needs of your family)
• must provide suitable living arrangements for the child.  (Children may share bedrooms)
• family preparation and approval takes at least 6 months

GENERAL MEMBERSHIP MEETING

FEBRUARY 18, 2010

 David called the meeting to order at 7:00 p.m. and welcomed everyone.

 Erin Hinson, Kevin Kramer’s new assistant, was introduced and she made a few remarks to the group.

 Clancy gave the treasurers’ report.  We have 470 paid members.  We had over $42, 000 in the bank at the end of the year, $12,600 of that money is earmarked for speed humps.

David reminded everyone that the primary purpose of speed humps is to reduce cut- through traffic.  Studies across the country show that property values tend to increase after speed humps are installed.

 Due to the inclement weather, the road study of Manner Dale Dr. has not been completed.  David also reported that we are still working on getting a 4 way stop at Pomeroy and Graf.

We have some beautification money from Kevin Kramer’s office.  We hope to use the money to paint at least part of the wall on Breckenridge Lane just north of Manner Gate Drive.  After the work is completed at the railroad crossing at Breckenridge Lane, Kevin Kramer will be looking for volunteers to help with the beautification in that area.

We have 50 lights that the association is paying for at the present time.  Members are encouraged to let us know if there are any dark spots in the subdivision that need to be addressed. 

 David reminded everyone to let Carl Owens know if anyone new moves in nearby. 

 Lt. Simpson then addressed the group.  Crime is down, but the cold weather is probably a big factor.  Lt. Simpson reminded us to keep our cars and homes locked and valuables out of sight.  He stressed that if we see something that is suspicious, the more information we give the police the better. We then had a heated discussion concerning speeding on Manner Dale and Woodgate. 

 David reminded the group that there will be another Brightside Cleanup fairly soon.

 We drew for the door prize.

 Meeting adjourned.

 Respectfully Submitted,

 Susan Clifton

Secretary
