April 2010 Board Meeting Highlights

Here are some highlights from last night's April Broadmoor board meeting.
First, we had 5 visitors! Three were visiting for the first time, and one of those just closed on her house this week.
 
We are getting ready for another great season at the Broadmoor Pool. We talked about a goal of 20 new memberships this year, so we will all need to start promoting this great asset! We will have a workday on May 1 to remove the pool cover, so mark your calendars. A workday notice and letter reminding everyone about pool season will go out soon.
 
The clubhouse is in great shape, and we will paint the new logwork and install a new mantle soon. The basketball goal repairs are going well. The goalpost and backboard have been painted, and the new, super heavy duty rim will go up soon.
 
We are working to prepare for the May Neighborhoods USA National Conference to be held in Little Rock. At least one board member is going to attend as a participant, and several people from Broadmoor will be helping with the tours and conference. We are helping sponsor the conference as well.
 
Residents continue to work on issues related to code enforcement, zoning, and public safety in general. Our ability to communicate about problems and get action from the City of Little Rock improves every day as we learn how it all works and develop relationships with city leaders.
 
We discussed goals for 2010-2011, these include:
-Maintaining our quiet, clean, safe environment. This will involved everyone continuing to keep an eye out for each other. We also want to increase residents' pride in the appearance of their homes.
-Increasing pool membership and completing capital improvements to the pool.
-Holding at least 5 block parties to get neighbors together.
-Continuing to improve the function of the park, including making repairs to the tennis court, continuing to make repairs to the stonework, and maybe getting a small utility vehicle for emptying trash barrels in the park.
 
We look forward to a great year!
