Agenda:
I.Welcome & Introductions
II.Treasurer’s Report – Balance is $2677.54 and we are in good shape to cover remaining publications of the Front Porch Flyer this year. We have 89 members, with no current members from McCloskey or Sahm Streets. Kerry is going to set up a PayPal account so it will soon be possible to pay dues online. Even though PayPal takes a small percentage as a fee, we'll still hold the dues at $10.
III.Existing Business
a.MNA Grant Results – The Steering Committee approved funding for the following events:
1.Plant Fest ($25)
2.Stitch n Bitch project for Ronald McDonald House ($100)
3.Babysitting for meeting with Dr. Carstarphen ($40)
4.Halloween ($100)
5.Fourth of July ($100)
6.Easter Egg hunt ($50)
7.Baby Boomer ($30)
b.Pecan Street Project Update - Applications are being received through March 14 to be considered for a position on the Pecan Street Project Executive Committee. The four officers of the MNA will select three candidates for forward to the Pecan Street Project Board for consideration. The Board will select one member to serve.
c.Mueller substation – Austin Energy (AE) is trying to find a suitable location for a new substation to support Mueller and to some extent, surrounding areas. All locations considered so far elicit opposition from neighborhood groups. The RMMA PIAC has said the substation should be sited at Mueller, but the ultimate decision is up to the City. We're hoping to have more discussion on this topic at our general membership meeting on March 13.
IV. Upcoming Meetings - General meeting on March13 will be at the Ronald McDonald House, 4th floor. Possible agenda items include the AE substation and schools.
V. Open comments:
a.Plant Fest on April 10 – Should be bigger than last year. A planning meeting will be held after the Plant Propagation workshop this Saturday.
b.Schools committee will be meeting with Mark Williams, President of the AISD School Board, on March 3 at Meghan's house on the Wedge.
The meeting adjourned about 8:00 p.m.
