VILLAGE CREEK NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION

Minutes of the General Meeting held February 20, 2003

 The meeting was called to order at 7:00 pm in the Planning Department Presentation Room, City Hall, Plano, Texas.  There were 11 members present.

 Crime Watch information was presented by Neighborhood Police Officer Alicia Nors and specific offenses and calls for assistance were discussed.

 Vicki Verinder presented an overview of the proposed Village Creek Neighborhood Association Bylaws, which were passed with no opposing vote.  The first order of business under the new bylaws was the election of officers.  The following members were nominated:

 President: Craig Jacobs

Vice-President: James Edwards

Secretary/Treasurer: Vicki Verinder

Chair Person: Doug Jacobs

Chair Person: David Dulin

 All nominations were approved by acclimation of the quorum present.

 The next meeting of Board of Directors and a general meeting of the Crime Watch was announced for March, 13, 2003 at 7:00 pm in the Planning Department Presentation Room, City Hall, Plano, Texas.

Future dates which involved the Association were then discussed.  April 5 is the Great American Cleanup, usually sponsored by Keep Plano Beautiful.  It was decided that the Association will participate and that more information will be made available at the next meeting.  Alicia was contacted by the Sunrise Rotary Club to inquire if we wanted their assistance for this event.  It was recommended that  James Edwards be contacted on this matter.  It was announced that National Night Out will be on August 5, 2003 and that we will plan to participate with the other 5 neighborhood groups as we did last year.

 The floor was opened by President Jacobs for a general discussion on any problems within the neighborhood.  Linda Doyle asked if the city would be enforcing code standards more strictly than in the past.  Craig Jacobs said he attended the city-sponsored Roundtable for East Plano and that a new code enforcer, Rodney Knowles,  has been hired for our area.  However, due to the city hiring freeze, he is the only one for the east side and cannot inspect as many properties as has been done in the past.  The problem with abandoned shopping carts left in the neighborhood was also brought up.  Officer Nors said that the Carnival manager has been very cooperative.  She recommended the following contacts be used for complaints:

Fiesta: Don Bersterman, 972-881-3211

Carnival: John Wick, 972-578-1009

 Changes to the park were discussed next.  The project engineer is Bill Dakin and can be contacted at his city office for any questions: 972-974-7271.

 Officer Alicia Nors was elected an Honorable Member of the Association by acclimation.

 The meeting was adjourned at 8:05 pm.

 Respectfully submitted

 Vicki Verinder, Secretary
