Neighborhood Watch met every month except December. A Child Safety Event was organized and was a success. The meetings have been moved to La Luna Café in an effort to create a more informal meeting. Neighborhood Watch is planning three events for 2010 with one of them being the Child Safety Event.
Election of Board Members
There are three two-year positions that need to be filled. There were no volunteers at the time of the meeting. It was suggested that a possible change would be to make the board seven members instead of nine, but that would need require a change in the By-Laws. It was decided that we need to work hard to recruit people for these positions.
Adoption of 2010 Budget
Mike presented a detailed sheet on the budget for 2010. Increase in dues was discussed and decided that it would not be necessary until possibly 2012.
