BRECKENRIDGE ESTATES NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION

BOARD OF DIRECTORS MEETING

JULY 8, 2010

David opened the meeting at 6:40 p.m.

Minutes were read, discussed and approved.

Treasurer’s report was read, discussed and approved.

Lighting:  The association may have to start paying the street light at Nora.  The home owner, who has been paying, passed away.  There is concern that the light at Manner Dale and Hunsinger is not bright enough.  Al will research to see if this is a light that the association is now paying for.  Motion was made, seconded and passed that if we are paying for this light, Al will ask LG&E to increase the wattage.  If we are not responsible for this light we will revisit this issue at the next board meeting. 

We discussed perhaps adding a light to the west side of Breckenridge Lane between Manner Gate and Manner Dale.

ID sent out bills with an incorrect charge.  If anyone overpaid they will be reimbursed on the next bill.

David reminded everyone to let Carl know if anyone new moves into the neighborhood.

Beautification:  The committee is moving along.  Student artists have been contacted.  After the area is cleared and the wall is cleaned, painting will begin.  Hope that all of this will be complete by the time school starts in mid August.  Permits for the beautification project are in the works.  Information about this project will be discussed in the next newsletter.

Block Watch:   Vandalism is the biggest problem this summer.  National Night Out is August 3^rd. 

Website:  Debbie has added a lost and found section to our Website.

The annual Picnic will be September 25^th at Hunsinger Lane Baptist Church.  David asked for a show of hands for picnic committee volunteers.

The yard sale will be October 9^th.   The Junk Pick Up will be October 14^th.

The 4 way stop at Graf and Pomeroy is a go.  All paper work has been filed.

There was a lively discussion of vacant homes in our neighborhood.  We discussed what we could do as an association and as concerned home owners.

David reminded everyone of the next General Meeting August 12^th. 

David adjourned the meeting at 8:10 p.m.

Respectfully submitted,

Susan Clifton
