APRIL 2006 MEETING UPDATES


A meeting of the Board of Directors of the Sauganash Community Association. was held on April 24, 2006 at the North Shore Community Bank.

President Dennis Hammer called the meeting to order at 7:00 PM.

Minutes of the last meeting were read and approved.

A design committee has been formed to co-create a booklet with the Alderman's office to act as a guideline for new residents and contractors. The booklet will give a history of the community, outline zoning regulations, and recommend design features that would be in keeping with the integrity of the community. The goal would be to encourage home improvements that would enhance the Sauganash neighborhood image.

The real estate/zoning committee decided that, in the interest of the community, they will write an article for the local papers outlining the zoning regulations for Sauganash.

The group discussed the attempted child abduction at Wildwood Park. The suspect was a white male with a beard and salt and pepper hair, 35-40 years old with a tattoo (possibly a snake) on his left forearm.

Four kids were arrested for breaking windows on Forest Glen Avenue.

The board members are looking for sponsorships from local businesses for the 4th of July party and parade. It was decided to include a New Orleans jazz band in the parade. Volunteers for the event are needed, so please contact the hotline (773-777-3393) if you can help. A dues solicitation letter will be sent in late May. A motion was made and carried for funds for the mailing.

Additionally, the committee will look into purchasing additional Sauganash window stickers. The meeting adjourned at 8:05 P.M.
