Approval of Minutes:

a motion was passed to approve December minutes.
Treasurer's report:
John Nicola reported our cash balance is
$4,844.04 with a member count of 40 at the end of the year.
Barb made a motion to approve the treasurer's report and Bob
seconded with the motion passing.
Valewood Extension:
Tim has not heard anything new in December but
feels we will have some update this month from the county.
Neighborhood Recognition:
The discussion included research done by Nancy
regarding pens to be used in the promotion of our neighborhood
participation, that will show our name and the website. Jim
made a motion and Barb seconded a $1,000.00 not to exceed
budget to including the buying of the pens, and including them
in the mailing out of our annual letter to the neighborhood.
The cost will go up with that increased weight but Tim plans to
condense the amount of information to achieve the goal of two
pages. This will include an application to join our
association. The motion was voted on and passed. Nancy will
get a sample pen as soon as possible and Tim will draft an
annual letter for approval. When we have that done, Barb will
take it to the printers to get an estimate for how much it will
cost for printing and mailing.
Signs: It was
agreed that the new directional signs on the corner of Spanish
Oaks and Oakes Blvd. are much better than what was originally
put up.
Drainage Issues:
S.W. Florida Water Management poured concrete and added fill
dirt where needed but nothing has been done to clean the
culverts that have become overgrown mostly on some vacant lot
sites.
New Business:
Reminder that the February meeting
has been moved to Tuesday, January 31st .
Annual Meeting Planning:
Will be held at the North Naples Baptist Church
on March 6, 2012. It was discussed that Tim will contact Tom
Henning and the person who is opposing him in the next election,
Mr. McDaniels to give us a short talk of their vision to work
with our neighborhood. Their was also discussion to ask Camela
Patton, the Superintendent of Schools. Our neighbor, Michael
Swanson from Standing Oaks who is a Deputy of Safety, Fire
Training & Special Operations, North Naples is also a
possibility to give us a short talk on how to keep your home
safe during the now dry season. We will have a table set up at
the door again to try to recruit new members. Tim has announced
that this coming last year will be his last as president.
North Naples Baptist Church Update:
