\nSonya emailed links to Nextdoor and Facebook group pages via the minutes.\u00a0 Reminder that links were included in the previous minutes.<\/p>\n
\nGabe spoke with Tiger Sanitation Company who offered that if we sign a contract stating the subdivision will exclusively use their service, we will receive a discount rate, no extra fees (such as fuel surcharges) and will provide bulk pick-up once a year. We did not have a quorum in order to vote on this issue, so a proxy note\/form will be created and distributed to members who wish to vote in this manner, and\/or we will be looking into allowing electronic voting.<\/p>\n
\nSonya communicated with the SCORE division of Bexar County Sheriff\u2019s Department regarding the Citizens on Patrol (C.O.P.) program, which replaced the neighborhood watch program. They provide a 3 hours class, an id badge and ride along training for any citizen interested in patrolling their neighborhood. None present were interested.<\/p>\n
\nA member stated that \u201csomething has to be done\u201d in regards to the many illegal businesses and properties that are full of trash\/debris and speeding in the neighborhood. Wants enforcement like the other subdivisions close to us.<\/p>\n
\nDue to lack of quorum, we were unable to hold election of the officers. Therefore, the current officers remain seated for one (1) year unless a special meeting is held to attempt quorum. The position of secretary remains vacant, however, Sonya stated she would continue to help. She does not have voting power on the board, only as a member.<\/p>\n
