_______________________________________________________________________________
Items for Discussion and Possible Action:
All comment is limited to 2 minutes per speaker, unless adjusted by the presiding chair of the committee.
5. CONTINUING DISCUSSION REGARDING NPG FOR WH PARK
Update about NPG and Lee Marks about the NC donating to the WH Park. Although the bench program is stopped, investigation into other NPG such as the book trolley. Motion to approve a set amount?
6. LAWN SIGNS
As previously discussed:
Motion to approve expenditure on 30 lawn signs to be placed on lawns of members of the Board who wish to do so. These signs will be further developed and designed (City logo will be added) per the attached template and can be customized to add individual’s names, area representative designation, WHWCNC phone numbers and WHWCNC email addresses if requested. Or they can be plain. It is recognized that some board members may not want to have signs in their gardens. However, as elected officials of the local stakeholders, it is anticipated that the demand will be there to alert the stakeholders that a representative is in their neighborhood to listen to their needs and suggestions. Total cost $821.25 at $25 per lawn sign (plus wire stake) done by Rivas Enterprises. See attachment. This breaks down to a cost of $750 plus tax, which is cheaper than Office Depot. Thank you Arturo for facilitating this.
7. BANNERS
As previously discussed:
Motion to approve expenditure for maintenance and expansion of existing WHWCNC banners in the existing location along Ventura Blvd. from Premiere Hills Circle to Del Moreno Drive. The first part of the motion is to approve the expenditure of $750 to keep our banners at existing location for one more year from September 2022 through the beginning of September 2023. The cost to maintain and repair and check integrity of existing banners is $750. The second part of the motion is to approve the expenditure of $3,574.53 for an additional 6 banners to complement the ones on the south side of the street. These would be placed on the north side where many of the signs have none. This would also last until the beginning of September 2023. See attached. Wee should choose a larger font and consider a dark background with White type
8. COMMUNITY CLEAN UP PROJECTS
Continuing discussion about cleaning up areas and also how to add plants to sidewalks we clean up. Plan of action?
9. New business for next meeting.
10. Report on current activities in the community. Community Wellness Workshop Schedule, see attached.
