Committee Reports:

Shopping Carts: A copy of the draft ordinance was discussed by Alicia Nors. A meeting with the store owners will be held soon for input.

Great American Cleanup: 21 shopping carts were picked up and sent to the city dump. Judge Peyton’s volunteers and the Sunrise Rotary assisted with general trash pickup but there was not as much trash this year as in the past. A total of 34 volunteers attended.

Curb Appeal: Work was done on the Sherwood house. The association would like to do another house around mid to late May (repairs, painting caulking, etc.). The Sunrise Rotary also would like to help and is also interested in helping with neighborhood beautification like the plantings for the Curb Appeal project. Garrison Gardens will also help out.

An Official Curb Appeal List was started:

1700 Lucas Terrace (was picked as next project – voted and approved)

Members are encouraged to send houses that qualify for this project to James Edwards or Craig Jacobs.

Parker Rd. Beautification: The city will not allow us to do this project due to the widening of Parker Rd. Jeff Swartz, Park and Recreation Maintenance, suggested looking at the Shawnee Park entrance on Parker Rd. as a possible site.
