SKYVIEW NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION MEETING
SKYVIEW BAPTIST CHURCH, 211 W. KOENIG
Fellowship Hall
TUESDAY, JANUARY 8, 2002 7:30 PM

In attendance: Gail Bailey, Steve Greenhow, Fred Daughtry, Rindy Fox, Eric Vormelker, Lisa Schneider, Rachel Cowart, Candace Huff, Janis Ehlinger, Colin Garvey, James Perez, April Angele, Hillary Angele, Hayden Angele, Margaret Kellogg, Greg Kellogg, Alix Knauth

Lisa started the meeting by making several announcements:

• Koenig Update: the bids for the construction came in over budget again. At the last CAMPO meeting additional funding was approved and the project should begin in a month or so.
• The Police have put out a warning about 'gypsy burglars', burglars that travel around from city to city, and usually show up in this area in the spring. Information on this was posted to the email group.
• Capital Metro announced plans to modify some of their routes. We don't know if they've yet taken effect, but the only bus in our area that it would affect is the #7 - Duval. If it was implemented, this route will now go no further north than Highland Mall, and the #15 - Red River will take over the more northern section that was covered by the #7.
• There is a move underway by many neighborhood associations to pass an ordinance prohibiting parking on residential front and side lawns. At this moment we as a neighborhood association haven't discussed whether to support it or not.
• Lisa passed around flyers from the Austin Public Library, the American Cancer Society and the City of Austin for everyone's information and perusal.

Neighborhood Watch
We reviewed the block-by-block status of the responses to the Block Captains' questionnaires. Because of the holidays and the short time frame available, response was much less than anticipated. We decided that that this task might take longer than anticipated and we might have to do it block by block. Avenue C had 100% response and is eager to move forward in the process, so we recommended their captain get in contact with the Neighborhood Watch officer DuPree. In the mean time, we decided that the primary goal is to build communication and trust and continue to facilitate neighbors getting to know each other.

Calendar of Events
We next started putting together a plan of events for the year. In previous meetings, we settled on the notion of alternating 'General' with 'Steering Committee' meetings. In order for the National Night Out in August to coincide with a General meeting, we decided to make our February meeting a General one. It was proposed, and accepted, that for the February meeting we'd get someone to give a talk about Remodeling. Eric Vormelker agreed to find someone. We also decided on the title "Remodeling Do's and Don't's" as a starting concept.

We proposed the following for the next few months:

• February: Remodeling presentation
• March: Steering Committee Meeting/TXDOT Koenig Project Manager?
• April: Gardening presentation/Garden Tour
• May: Steering Committee Meeting
• June: Representative Dukes? Beverly Griffith?
• July: Steering Committee Meeting
• August: National Night Out!
• September: Steering Committee
• October: undecided
• November: Steering Committee Meeting
• December: Holiday Party

Other ideas that were suggested, but not assigned to any particular time or date: Neighborhood Garage Sale; July 4 Picnic/Parade/Party.

Next Meeting: February 12, 2002, 7:30 pm
