HOLTON ELEMENTARY SCHOOL LIBRARY

The Meeting was called to order at 6:40 p.m. by Roy Reynolds, President.

A request from Michelle Banalett for money to purchase pansies to put around the small arch was reviewed.  The Board will ask Michelle to also put pansies at the large arch, with up to $40 to be reimbursed.  Request was unanimously approved.

A request from Aaron Basmajian for the BCA to sponsor talks he will be giving monthly at Stir Crazy.  The Board rejected this request, but will make alternative suggestions to include using the e-mail group or sending an article in to the newsletter and/or website.

Signs for neighborhood meetings and events were discussed.  Sign frames have been donated, and Roy is pricing out printed inserts.

Doug Brabrand  discussed the need for Block Captains.  Several suggestions were made for a map of blocks and a listing, to show at the meeting and to solicit more volunteers.

Recent “alley trimming” was discussed.  Roy is in touch with the sheriff’s department to get details on who is trimming and who is overseeing the work.

Janet recommended an ‘oversight’ plan for the Treasurer.  It was decided that the Treasurer would turn in all statements to the President at each Board meeting.

Future BCA neighborhood Yard Sales  were discussed.  It was recommended to do the one week prior to the Neighborhood Clean-Ups.
