Treasurer’s Report was tabled to the next meeting.
Minutes: The minutes of the March 15th meeting were approved.
Streetscape Project: Brent reported that although there were massive city lay-offs, none of those important to our project were let go. The documents are complete and the city should let bids out next Saturday. That process should take 30 days and another 6 weeks until work is started.
Parks: John reported that a meeting to rate all applications is scheduled on April 28. There applications will be rated low, medium or high. We discussed possibility that land set aside for park could be used in staging street project.
Committee Reports
Downtown Condo Assoc: Ron has been elected to the Board of Directors. He reported the association wants to email directly to our membership. It would be a blind email - you would not know the addresses of other recipients. We discussed this and decided that each member would have to decide this themselves - we have no authority to give out addresses. Denise will send out form that so that GGP members who wish to can sign up.
Coalition of City Neighborhoods: Carol read report.Martha was appointed an alternate and she will attend in summer or when Carol is not in town.
Web site: Brent is trying to keep it current. We will have drawings of streetscape project displayed at the Picnic.
Directory: Pat announced they will be given to captains to distribute in their building. Any mistakes will be corrected through article in next newsletter.We have 17 new members since last meeting; 2 joined too late to be in directory; they will be in next newsletter.
Old Business:
Picnic: Brent will update streetscape, John will discuss the park proposal and real estate tax changes, and Kathy Dent will talk about upcoming elections.We will set up chairs for meeting to be held before we eat; then picnickers can bring them to tables. Our City Commissioner, Dick Clapp will be attending.
New Business:
Resignation: John moved and Ron seconded that we accept the resignation of Lothar Sachse who no longer lives on Golden Gate Point. Motion carried. We will appoint a replacement at the next Board meeting. We will be seeking suggestions from the membership.
Breakfast: Pat is looking into place for breakfast. Denise is looking for a program on Sarasota history. Carol suggested she call Nat McCulloch who has been active with history organizations.
Flu shots: Pat is working on getting this scheduled.
Annual Meeting: We have a reservation at Lutheran Church for our annual meeting since it is expected that the Yacht Club will be torn down at that time. Ron announced that the Yacht Club had decided to build a tent of events during rebuilding and it might be available. We discussed status of members who do not live on GGP and decided they fit same category as renters in our by-laws.
There being no other business, the meeting was adjourned. NEXT BOARD MEETING WILL BE SATURDAY, MAY 17 AT 9 A.M. IN PHOENIX ROOF TOP MEETING ROOM.
Respectfully submitted,
Carol Kopeck, Secretary
