WEBVTT

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:01.394
Speaker 1: Okay, it's 7:00.

00:00:01.394 --> 00:00:02.394
Let's get started.

00:00:02.394 --> 00:00:05.854
Thanks for coming to the Harbor Lane Residents Association meeting.

00:00:05.854 --> 00:00:10.038
We have three things tonight: the parking permits, the playground repair, and the

00:00:10.038 --> 00:00:11.038
summer street party.

00:00:11.000 --> 00:00:15.560
Speaker 2: Before we start, can we confirm the minutes from last month?

00:00:15.560 --> 00:00:18.000
I read them and they look right to me.

00:00:18.000 --> 00:00:19.231
Speaker 1: Good point.

00:00:19.231 --> 00:00:20.294
Does anyone object?

00:00:20.294 --> 00:00:21.294
No?

00:00:21.294 --> 00:00:23.811
Then the minutes from September are approved.

00:00:23.811 --> 00:00:25.378
First item: parking permits.

00:00:25.378 --> 00:00:26.378
Raj, you looked into this?

00:00:26.000 --> 00:00:27.130
Speaker 2: Yes.

00:00:27.130 --> 00:00:33.305
The council told me we can apply for a residents-only zone, but we need signatures

00:00:33.305 --> 00:00:37.146
from at least half of the households on the street.

00:00:37.146 --> 00:00:43.322
There are 62 households, so we need 31 signatures, and the deadline is the 15th of

00:00:43.322 --> 00:00:44.322
November.

00:00:44.000 --> 00:00:47.222
Speaker 3: I'm happy to go door to door on the north side.

00:00:47.222 --> 00:00:49.000
I know most of the people there.

00:00:49.000 --> 00:00:52.038
Speaker 2: Great, then I'll take the south side.

00:00:52.038 --> 00:00:54.000
I'll print the forms this week.

00:00:54.000 --> 00:00:59.586
Speaker 1: So Karen takes the north side, Raj takes the south side and prints the

00:00:59.586 --> 00:01:00.586
forms.

00:01:00.000 --> 00:01:04.500
Speaker 1: Let's aim to have all signatures by the 8th, so we have a week of margin.

00:01:04.500 --> 00:01:06.000
Second item, the playground.

00:01:06.000 --> 00:01:10.952
Speaker 2: I got two quotes for fixing the swings and the fence.

00:01:10.952 --> 00:01:12.500
The first is $1,800.

00:01:12.500 --> 00:01:19.000
The second is $2,400, but the second includes new safety surfacing under the swings.

00:01:19.000 --> 00:01:21.609
Speaker 3: I think the surfacing matters.

00:01:21.609 --> 00:01:24.155
Kids fall off those swings all the time.

00:01:24.155 --> 00:01:26.000
Can we afford the higher one?

00:01:26.000 --> 00:01:29.520
Speaker 2: We have about $3,100 in the fund.

00:01:29.520 --> 00:01:34.000
So, yes, but it leaves very little for the street party.

00:01:34.000 --> 00:01:35.358
Speaker 1: Let's vote.

00:01:35.358 --> 00:01:38.630
Everyone in favor of the $2,400 quote with surfacing?

00:01:38.630 --> 00:01:40.235
That's clearly a majority.

00:01:40.235 --> 00:01:44.000
Daniel, can you accept the quote and ask when they can start?

00:01:44.000 --> 00:01:48.000
Speaker 2: I'll call them tomorrow morning and report back by email.

00:01:48.000 --> 00:01:50.181
Speaker 1: Last item: the street party.

00:01:50.181 --> 00:01:54.486
Given the budget, I suggest we keep it simple, a potluck instead of catering.

00:01:54.486 --> 00:01:56.779
We don't have to decide the date tonight.

00:01:56.779 --> 00:02:00.749
Let's come back to it in December when we know what's left in the fund.

00:02:00.749 --> 00:02:01.749
Anything else?

00:02:01.749 --> 00:02:02.749
No?

00:02:02.749 --> 00:02:04.147
Then thank you, everyone.

00:02:04.147 --> 00:02:05.334
We'll meet again on the 2nd of December.
