The speed monitor sign has been received by Bexar County Public Works but was missing some parts.  When those are received, it will be installed.

Dumpster Availability – Eldon & Albert met with Bexar County Public Works rep to discuss this issue.  They found out that this would be open to everyone and not just Coolcrest residents.  Any damage on the property used would be our responsibility along with other areas of responsibility.  Albert checked and there are no other scheduled dump days in this area.  Issue tabled for now.

Bulletin board sign has been updated with new meeting place address and website info

Trash pickup was cancelled as Richard had already picked everything up.  Thanks Richard.

At a prior meeting, residents at Madrona and Yellow Birch had complained of flooding.  This is not a POA issue but recently  Eldon met with the residents and Bexar County Public Works.  It was learned that the developer’s submitted plan was not accurate and therefore, flooding was occurring.  Public Works will get with the developer.

Presentations by various government entities were made first.

Tony Vasquez, Bexar County Public Works Division Chief, explained that a site analysis of our subdivision was done.  As a result of this study, there will be a four way stop installed at Silver Maple and Bois D’Arc.  Construction starts the end of the month.  A sign that flashes your car speed will be installed sometime after that on Silver Maple as you turn into the subdivision from Potranco Rd.  Also, American Lotus is being cut through to Grosenbacher which should relieve some of the traffic coming into the subdivision on Yellow Birch.  Any requests for a capital improvement project for sidewalks will need to be sent through the commissioner’s office but would be a lower priority due to other major issues in the county.  Enforcement of speed limits, stop signs, etc must be addressed with the Sheriff’s department.

State Representative Rick Galindo spoke next.  He is currently serving on the committees for Public Education, Mental Health, and  GTO (Government Transparency).  He lives in Amhurst and is aware of the problems out here and we are one of the fastest growing areas in the state.  If you have any concerns, contact his office at 210-922-1336.  He advised us of an upcoming Annexation Town Hall Meeting on Thursday, Jan 28. 2016, 7 PM at Hoffman Elementary Cafeteria.

TXDOT was represented by Christine Longoria and Marco Galindo.  They provided us with handouts on the major highway projects in our area -410/151 Interchange, 410/90 Interchange, and Loop 1604 expansions from Culebra to Hwy 90.

Bridell Miers spoke on Bexar County Capital Projects which includes expansion of Potranco Rd.  Waiting on TXDOT approval of contract, then it goes to Commisioner’s Court and construction to start in March, 2016.

There were 11 spots sold for the flea market for $170.00.

Frank brought up the possibility of collecting parking fee at Potranco Automotive for POA funds.

A Board Workshop had been held to discuss changing of By-Laws. Changes were recommended but some questions arose and Richard contacted our attorney for clarification.  To change the Deed Restrictions, we would need unanimous approval from all property owners.  In the By-Laws, Section 13.01 addresses changes by majority of a quorum of the membership at two consecutive meetings (15% of property owners or approx. 52 owners); however, there is an alternative.  Under Section 22.102)(c) of the Business Organizations Code, the Board can amend the By-Laws unless the members expressly provide that the Board can not do so which the members have not done.  Richard will do a revision of the By-Laws and then schedule a Board Meeting

Albert reported that Pastor Rob agreed to let us use the church property for a community brush/trash pickup.  Albert has called the Commissioner’s office but has not received a response yet.  Albert/Frank will follow-up on this.
