UNFINISHED BUSINESS    

–The Vegetation Ordinance subcommittee met to discuss safety hazards posed by trees/vegetation.  Another meeting is scheduled for October.

–Three documents were discussed relative to the proposed Special Assessment District for road maintenance.

1)  Petition form.  There were a number of questions about the form and difficulties the residents might have in filling it out.  No action to approve the form was taken and the matter will be discussed further at the next Board meeting.

2)  Authorization form.  Since the petition form was not approved, no action was taken to authorize the BHV President to sign the petition on behalf of BHV-owned property.

3)  Proposed Ordinance No. 55.   This ordinance would amend the BHV Code Title I, Chapter 5 (Special Assessments), Section 1:53 so the language matches the language of the recent Charter amendments regarding special assessments.  Since this action is not seen as controversial and time is a factor, the Board waived their usual two-reading procedure and adopted the Ordinance.  (MacKrell/Benson/P)

 

NEW BUSINESS     None

 

The meeting was adjourned at 7:05 PM.  (MacKrell/Butterwick/P)
