Also present: Cathy Rotter, Zac HenakPoulson called the meeting to order at 6:47 p.m. Introductions followed.
1. Minutes from 6/25/19 reviewed. Motion/2nd to approve. Motion carried.
2. Treasurer’s Financial Report. Rotter presented July and August financials. Discussion of membership dues totals and newsletter costs. Review of largest expenditure items including picnic and concerts.
3. Alder report: Henak relayed status of Edgewood athletic field dispute that is with Planning Commission but remains very contentious. Questioned about crosswalk beacons near HyVee and Odana Ct.-they will be constructed this fall. In other traffic news, Waite Cir./SW bike path drainage will be redone which will involve repairing and widening the bike path next year. Segoe Park is getting an electrical hookup. There is a referendum pending on city-wide high school stadium lights. Allied Drive School is proposed, which would affect Verona and Madison Schools. Block 88/Judge Doyle Square plans remain uncertain. Air Force F-35s at Truax are being studied by city personnel. Neighborhood Council of District 10 neighborhood associations will meet again sometime this fall. Mendota Mental Health facility is expanding. The Golf Task Force is in the works this fall/winter to review golf course future uses.
4. MHCA server/tech options: Jarvis reported Mail Chimp’s change in policy limiting email users/counts that may affect MHCA. Wants to purchase hosting our website on a commercial server. Would be expensive to have someone recreate our website (without Tom’s TIKI programming system). Nyquist will assist with investigating server/email options.
5. Membership: Jarvis announced current membership at 425 with significant response to our post card reminders. Kreimendahl will organize a directory mailout meeting so that they get sent by 9/3, if possible.
6. Segoe Concerts: Lamb noted slightly decreased attendance but even the rain/indoor crowd was reasonably significant. May not need generator next year if Segoe has electric. Food carts were unreliable, so next year will have to rethink.
7. Announcements: Annual meeting is set for 10/22 with Mayor Conway-Rhodes as speaker.
Meeting adjourned by motion at 8:15p.m.
Respectfully submitted by C. Kreimendahl, Secy.
