BPNA Meeting Tues. June 22, 2010

Our June meeting will be this Tuesday, June 22. As usual, we'll meet at 7:00p.m. at the Free Methodist Church at the corner of Grimes and S. Lincoln.

AGENDA

Jaqui Bauer
Jaqui Bauer is our special guest this month. Recently hired as Bloomington's first sustainability coordinator, she will share upcoming initiatives involving neighborhoods and take questions, ideas and concerns.

BPNA Elections
We will hold a voice vote for BPNA President, Vice-President, Secretary and Treasurer for 2010-2011. Mary Miller, Jan Sorby, Jenny Bauer and Mary Lou Mitchell are all willing to continue in their positions. No other candidates have come forward, so these four will continue if a majority of those present at Tuesday's meetings vote in their favor. Nominations may also be made from the floor at the meeting.

Stormwater Runoff
Continue our discussion of the stormwater issue. Report on new Google group for stormwater ideas and concerns.

Conservation District
The 2010 BPNA historic survey has just been completed and submitted to the city. The map and documents are available for anyone to see at the HAND office in city hall. We need people to get involved in a subcommittee to study the question of applying for a Conservation District for the neighborhood. Please let Mary know if you are interested in serving on this committee.

Incident Report
Regular monthly report from Dick and Mary Lou Mitchell, our Neighborhood Watch representatives.

On a happy note, both dogs listed as lost through the BPNA blog last week have been found and reunited with their owners!

Please let me know if you'd like to add anything to the agenda.

BRI (Bloomington Restorations, Inc.) has submitted a completed historic survey for Bryan Park and Steve Wyatt will be presenting the information to the Historic Commission on Thursday, June 10th, at 4:00 PM in the McCloskey Room at city hall. The findings are of interest to the neighborhood, in that this is the base map from which we might work towards a conservation district sometime in the future. The boundaries of that district would be determined with input from the neighborhood. Everyone is welcome to attend.
