MINUTES FROM JUDSON PARK ASSOCIATION

SEPTEMBER 17, 2006

Kathy Quail, President of the Association, opened the meeting at 2:40 p.m. with a solicitation for sign-ups for the various committees throughout the year.

Tony Caporale, Association Treasurer, presented the yearly budget. There were no questions regarding the budget from the neighbors.

Kathy brought up the large, dead ash tree issue we have at the park, and the fact that we could possibly be charged by the city or the power company for any damages if it goes down (it is very close to the power lines). She informed the neighbors that we would be seeking quotes in January to have it removed, which might give us the lowest possible price.

A resident was asking about an updated neighborhood directory. We still have a list of volunteers from last year, and we’ll solicit for help this year, as well. If someone wants to chair this committee and get the ball rolling, it might make a new directory a reality this year or next.

Pat Doherty suggested that we put out the sign-up sheets again for the different committees at Fall Clean-Up, since there weren’t a lot of neighbors in attendance at the annual meeting.

Kathy asked for help regarding block captains for Brewster and Adams roads. There were no new volunteers.

Pat Doherty brought up how low the wires were overhead at the park. Randy Costew said that they were cable and telephone lines, not power lines, We’d be happy to have a resident make a few phone calls and see if these lines are lower than they should be and what can be done about them.

Kathy also wanted to thank our “unsung heroes” who, without being asked, pull weeds in the play structure at the park and replace and repair the split rail fencing. We very much appreciate your help, whoever you are!

Linda Tilt volunteered to be the new Secretary for Judson Park Association. We will continue to ask for a volunteer for the Vice President’s position, since it was not filled.

New neighbors were introduced and the meeting was adjourned.
