Officer’s Reports
President’s Report: FORT-fy Neighborhood Accelerator Application update. The FORT-fy program will be announcing if our Association has been chosen later this week, likely on March 6th. Discussed donations to the Township in exchange for usage of the Township Hall. Agreed that one person would be in charge of purchasing groceries for donation for each quarterly meeting. Marvin volunteered to do this in the June meeting, Brian volunteered for the September meeting.
Treasurer’s Report: The CD is going to mature in April. Asked for motion to roll that money into another CD. We are down to 9 residents who have not paid dues. Only outstanding balances are from current year. Snow removal was lower amount than in years past. We did earn income from the CD that qualifies as income which is taxable. Had a conversation about fees associated with Tax preparation.
Committee Reports
Architectural Control: Brian gave report on approvals that have occurred over the last three months. Discussion of when Architectural Committee needs to be involved.
Playground: Jo gave update on finding a merry-go-round. Several different options from different companies forward for discussion. A grant was put in with the City to help pay, if the Grant is not granted, then we will not purchase a merry-go-round. Should know if we get the grant by end of April. Pricing for a hop-scotch painted on the sidewalk was put forward. Also discussed a picnic in the park for this year. Gave update on the bike rack installed. Jo will soon be choosing when Hour in the Park will be beginning in 2024. Discussed issue with trash left in the Playground.
Welcome Committee: Dave spoke up about the need for volunteers.
Landscape Committee: Michelle spoke about landscaping changes we can make in the front entrance. Changes include removing the current large tree and hedging. Michelle to come up with Date that we can do most of this work ourselves. Provided copy of Photoshop images of what we want the Front sign area to look like.
Communications: Jason updated on what was done with the pass code to get into the Facebook group. Discussed a flier to distribute any quarter.

Decided to shelve further discussion of the Association Directory. Dave gave update on discussions with a new Attorney that we may want to use going forward.
New Business
Discussed water drainage and easement improvements that we want to approach the city about. Ideas for increasing participation in Neighborhood Garage sale for 2024. Marvin proposed we place a sign on the entrances to the Park stating that there should be no motor vehicles. No objections to Marvin placing the signs.
Motion made to put $40,000 into a new CD after the current the CD matures on April 27th with a term of 8-14 months (exact Term to be determined by the Treasurer). Aaron Motioned, Brian Seconded. All Ayes.
