VICTOR GARDENS
LONG TERM PLANNING
COMMITTEE

MEMBERS PRESENT:
DAWN LA FONTSEE
KAREN RAY
KIM SCANLAN
SINCE THIS WAS THE COMMITTEE’S FIRST MEETING WE WANTED TO
ESTABLISH OUR PURPOSE. WE SEE THIS
COMMITTEE MAKING RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE MASTER BOARD BASED ON WHAT THE
COMMUNITY WANTS. WE ARE SPECIFICALLY
INTERESTED IN LAND USE, DEMOGRAPHICS, VOLUNTEERISM, COMMUNICATION, AND
ESTABLISHING RELATIONSHIPS WITH LONG TERM PLANNING COMMITTEES WITHIN OUR LARGER
COMMUNITY.
OUR ACTION PLAN:
1.
CREATE A SURVEY TO DISTRIBUTE TO THE VICTOR
GARDENS THROUGH THE VARIOUS SUB-ASSOCIATIONS.
WE WOULD LIKE TO DETERMINE THE DEMOGRAPHICS OF THE AREA, ESTABLISH
DESIRED COMMUNICATION METHODS, AND ASK WHAT IS IMPORTANT TO THEM CONCERNING OUR
NEIGHBORHOOD. WE WOULD ALSO LIKE TO TAKE
THIS OPPORTUNITY TO SHARE WITH OUR NEIGHBORS WHAT THE ORIGINAL VISION FOR THE
COMMUNITY WAS.
2.
WE WOULD LIKE TO PLAN ANOTHER MEETING TO INCLUDE
OUR OTHER MEMBER, RACHEL BERGER BEFORE PROCEEDING ON SPECIFIC PROJECTS.
3.
WE WILL ASK THE MASTER BOARD FOR A BUDGET TO
HELP WITH ANY INITIAL COSTS INCLUDING POSTAGE, ETC, AND TO USE IN THE EVENT WE
NEED TO PAY FOR A SPECIFIC PROFESSIONAL BID.
INITIALLY WE WILL ASK FOR $1,000.
IF WE GET INTO A SPECIFIC PROJECT WHERE FUNDS ARE NEEDED WE WILL
APPROACH THE MASTER BOARD FOR ADDITIONAL FUNDS ALONG WITH APPROVAL.
WE WOULD LIKE TO SHARE INFORMATION COLLECTED FROM THE SURVEY
WITH THE COMMUNITY AT LARGE AND POSSIBLY CREATE SEVERAL FOCUS GROUPS TO HELP
DIRECT OUR EFFORTS. WE ALSO SEE SHARING
INFORMATION WITH THE CITY OF HUGO’S LONG TERM PLANNING COMMITTEE, AND BECOMING
INVOLVED WITH THEIR AGENDA WHERE IT MAY AFFECT OUR NEIGHBORHOOD.
THE SURVEY SHOULD BE PROVIDED TO RESIDENTS VIA E-MAIL,
FACEBOOK, AND ON PAPER FOR THOSE NOT CONNECTED BY COMPUTER. WE CAN POSSIBLY GET A NOTICE OUT THAT SURVEYS
WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR PICK UP AT A MASTER BOARD MEETING.
AGENDA:
WE ORIGINALLY HAD TWO ITEMS ON OUR AGENDA, THE PROPERTY NEXT
TO THE POOL, AND MONUMENT SIGNS. WE
DECIDED TO TABLE THE SIGN ISSUE UNTIL WE CAN CONFIRM THAT THIS IS IMPORTANT TO
RESIDENTS VIA THE SURVEY.
WE ALL AGREED THAT IT IS IMPORTANT TO WORK ON THE VACANT
LAND BY THE POOL, AND PROVIDE OPTIONS TO THE MASTER BOARD. RACHEL BERGER WILL BE ABLE TO PROVIDE
IMPORTANT INSIGHT ON THIS MATTER SO WE WILL ADDRESS THE TOPIC AT THE NEXT
MEETING.
NEXT MEETING:
MONDAY, NOVEMBER 26TH 7:00 P.M. AT THE HOME OF
KIM SCANLAN, 4767 DAHLIA WAY IN CREEKSIDE VILLAS.
