Floor was open for discussion.
An Election was asked to be performed this evening and a nomination was place for “Jerry” as President.
A change and a need for new faces were cited as the reason for this request.
By-Laws for election rules and regulations were asked to be presented, but were not available. Mrs. Jeffares said she did not bring by-laws because she had no idea that election request were going to be presented to the group tonight.
Mention of by-laws being placed on the website as soon as possible so that the bylaws could be examined and hopefully passed in order to hold a fair and equal election.
Motion of this proposal was made by “Charles,” Second made by “Tal”, third by “Judy”. Motion carried by show of hands.
A flier was mentioned to inform other members of the neighborhood so that they may nominate someone they think would be a good candidate.
“Jan” volunteered to set up the flier. “Anthony” had to leave the meeting but offered to hand out said flier.
A motion was made by “Judy” to meet the 2nd Thursday in January 2009 and put up a slate for new officers for voting on. Second was made by “Barry”. Motion carried by show of hands.

A Holiday Decorating Contest was brought in question because gift cards were left over from a rained out “Summer Salad in Sumner Park”.
A panel from outside the neighborhood was suggested to vote on the decorations. Perhaps another neighborhood association could be the judge of the contest was suggested by “Barry”. A 1st, 2nd, and 3rd prize would be rewarded. There were 3 gift cards, East Point Flower Cottage, Oz Pizza and ???
“Judy” volunteered to head this committee.

An amount of  $300.00 was reported in the treasury. This is an approx. amt., because I was unable to hear the exact amount. This came from monies brought forward from prior associations and the yard sale back in October.

A motion was made that the meeting be adjourned. A second was made by “Tal”. Motion was carried by a verbal agreement.

This is a brief summery of the meeting.
