Thursday, September 14, 2006

First Christian Church

The meeting was called to order at 7:35p.m. by Ronda Yoder, President Elect, who welcomed members and guests. The first item of business was the reading of the minutes of the previous meeting from August. Penny Bolyard made a motion to accept the minutes, and George Olliff seconded it.  The minutes were accepted as read.  Joe Flynn gave the financial report of $660 in the bank.

City Council candidate Paul Young presented his agenda for his election campaign.  Lee Smith reported on the progress of traffic issues in the neighborhood and gave the results of a traffic study done in the area in 2004-2005.  He noted that the city is planning to put an ?“All Way?” stop sign at the intersection of College Parkway and Langley.  Upon completion of the library, it will become a ?“4-way?” stop, and possibly a traffic light.  Large warning signs will be placed in advance of the intersection warning motorists to stop ahead.  The signs should be installed before Christmas.

Old business:  The application for the entrance signs was delivered to the city on August 24 by Joe Flynn.  The City Council will give the application a technical review at its September meeting and a final approval/disapproval at its October meeting.  The project will need to be completed within one year of the final approval date. 

New business: This was the month for elections of new officers for the Association.  Ronda Yoder read the duties of each officer and opened the floor for nominations and volunteers.  Carole Davis volunteered to be President-elect; Mindy Besch –Secretary, Joe Flynn-Treasurer; George Olliff, Sybil Anthony, and Jeanette Norman -Members-at large.   With no additional nominations or volunteers, these were elected by default.  Ronda Yoder moved from President-elect to President. 

The proposal to change the By-laws regarding the frequency of the association meetings was tabled until the October meeting.  Audrey Taylor announced the ?“round-up?” being held at Washington High School on Saturday, September 16.    George announced he received a nice thank you note from the church for the coffee we donated to them.  Joe Flynn made a motion that we waive the membership dues for the church because of all their help to the Association.  Sybil seconded the motion.  A vote was taken and passed unamiously. 

Carole made a motion to adjourn the meeting, and George seconded it.  The meeting was adjourned.

Respectfully submitted,

Bob Yoder, Secretary
