Minutes from Neighborhood mtg 2/16/12

Meeting was called to order at 7:02pm

 

First we had three people not affiliated with Pleasanton at the meeting. Lori Chapman from the Emerson Ave Baptist Church, Stacy Brachfield from EABC, and Ellen Yoder from the EABC and the Emerson Heights Neighborhood. They stated their purpose for attending and and we welcomed them for joining us. We had a total of nine people from Pleasanton in attendance.

 

First on the agenda was crime in Pleasanton. Roxy Winnings stated that a garage on Pleasant Run was broken into a few months ago. Also, in some areas of the surrongs neighborhoods cars were broken into with valuables in plain sight. Just another friendly reminder to lock your cars and keep valuables out of plain sight.

 

Next, we talked about the KIB Adopt-A-Block program. Our neighbor Molly Wilson presented a thorough explaination of this program and what we as a neighborhood could get if participated in this. She stated that we could get flowers, trees and if you would sign up to become a Block Coordinator, KIB supplies you with a shovel, trash bags and misc. items. Dan Marshall stated that he had signed up for the block of Maple Lane. Others are encourged to signed to become Block Coordinators with the Adopt-A-Block program.

 

Spring Clean up was next on the agenda. This recieved probably the most discussion. Ellen Yoder from the Emerson Heights Neighborhood stated that they do a spring and fall cleanup.We talked that maybe doing a joint effort with the Emerson Heights Neighborhood might benefit with the clean up. We discussed the option of cleaning up the greenway and parkway in April, then in May clean the inner and outer streets of the Neighborhood. There was also various discussion on fallen trees, limbs and leaves being dumped along the creek. We agreed that have another meeting in March will benefit the neighborhood with getting things better organized.

 

Dan Marshall asked if anyone in the neighborhood has any old photos that he would like to scan them and give them back as soon as possible, he is the the process of writing a book on Pleasanton in Irvington Historic District and the photos would be helpful. He already has some photos but needs more to make it very complete.

 

Meeting ended at 8:20pm

 

At 8:30pm there was a side bar meeting on the corner of Maple Lane and Poplar Rd, and some discussion on Pleasanton Signage for the neighborhood. It was not brought up in the meeting, but from various people in the neighborhood I don't think it will be an issue getting the number of signs needed to be placed throughout the area.

 

One last thing, I made a Pleasanton In Irvington Facebook page. I do not have an account for Facebook, and do not really know the ins and outs of it, if anyone would like to make changes to it I have the Admin password. Let me know if you need it.
