Time flies once we begin fall. Last month, I attended a meeting (one of many) dealing with the land use change sought to do a new project on Sirocco Drive. It was well attended, and I felt our resident’s had opportunity to both see the proposal and raise concerns that they had. The expressions were well articulated. We will see what happens at the next phase.
The budget was finalized this month by the board. In September, all three committee chairs thought that maintaining our current budget with some modest increases would be appropriate. While the entire board has to approve the entire budget for a year – the chairs submit their recommendations and then we allow individual members to augment the budget with projects and expenses the chairs may not have considered.
At the same time, we are going through the audit for last year’s finances. It is our desire to have these ready for our AGM. Speaking of the AGM, Westside Rec very generously provides us with space at the facility for monthly board meetings. They will soon be undergoing substantial renovations at the beginning of 2025. So, we may lose our meeting place for a few months. If you have any suggestions for an alternate site for the winter/spring of 2025, we’d appreciate hearing your suggestions.
Did I mention in last month’s edition our need for the following volunteer positions on the board? We need a Secretary, a Membership/Communications Director, as well as a Maintenance Director. The position of Business Liaison is also open. If you could help us with these positions, it would be so enriching for you and of tremendous benefit to the community.
In last month’s issue of Signal Hill View we talked about some art projects we would like to do for the community. Let’s add one more. Do you have pictures around Signal Hill that could be used to adorn this journal? If so, submit them to [email protected] and we will try to incorporate them in future issues. It should be seasonally appropriate.
As always, you can reach me at [email protected] or [email protected].
