Neighborhood Association Meeting - Nov. 11th, 2008 at 7:00PM
Location: The Locklear Park Gazebo |

This will be a very important meeting for everyone in the neighborhood, renters and owners are urged to attend, and I know we will be in the dark but we will have lights at the gazebo so please attend This is the meeting that we elect the officers for the next year. I have been your president for the past 7 years and have enjoyed getting things done for the neighborhood and the residents. We need some new people to take office and keep things going, there isn’t much more to do but just keeping things the way they should be and the way they are now. We have had a lot of homes broken into the past couple of months, they have caught the persons responsible for most of the break ins but please, if you see anyone around a house where no one is at home please call the police.. For all residents, renters and owners, FEMA has redone the flood areas in Sarasota County. You will be receiving a letter form either SWFWM or FEMA about the new changes, if you are put in a higher or lower flood zone. If you have paid for flood insurance for the past few years you would be grand fathered in and probably will not have an increase in payment but you will not know until at least summer of 2009. Parents please ask your children/teenagers not to destroy the park and the paths that are in the woods. Picnic tables have been moved into the woods where they don’t belong and then we have to have the county come out and put them back. There were holes dug on the walking path where people walk and this is not good because someone could trip and fall. Before long, the park will have a sign telling everyone that the park closes as dusk and we are also in the process of getting the police/sheriff to cooperate with who ever makes a call requiring service so that they will respond as fast as possible according to the type of call. So if you do call one of the law enforcements please meet with the officer to tell them what the problem is. We have had many complaints about dog excrement not being cleaned up by neighborhood dog owners. City ordinance ARTICLE II Sec. 8-30 DOGS - Removal of dog excrement states “It shall be unlawful for any person who owns a dog, or for any person who has charge, custody, or control of a dog, to fail to remove feces excreted by the dog on public or private property, other than property of its owner. Such person shall carry with them plastic bags or other containers for removing and disposing of the feces in a lawful and sanitary manner.” Thank you and I hope to see everyone at the meeting at the park 11/11/08 Mickey Emberton, President BTNA |
