Welcome and Introductions

The FHNA Board of Trustees were introduced

Old Business
Ms Nelson informed the group that a members meeting would take place June 4, 2009 at 7PM to vote on a proposed amendment to the official documents to allow expansion of the geographic boundaries to include all of Federal Heights in the FHNA. Additionally, the proposed amendment would simplify some other areas in those documents. The proposed changes will be posted on the FHNA blog. Handouts were given regarding the proposed amendments, the voting meeting and use of the blog. In answer to a question, Ms Nelson reported that a failure to vote would be equivalent to a no vote as a 2/3 majority of the membership needs to vote for the changes. Ms Nelson encouraged everyone to get a proxy vote for them if they would be unable to attend on June 4.

Ms Nelson put out a call for nominations for Officer positions. Although these Officers are appointed by the Board of Trustees, input was requested from the membership.

Kathy Fitzgerald passed around a committee interest signup sheet for committees dealing with Membership, Nominations, Parking/Traffic, Greek Issues, Zoning & Architectural/Historical and Public Affairs.

New Business
Ms Nelson encouraged all members to submit articles for the FHNA newsletter via the FHNA email address. The newsletter will be published about every other month, with the next issue in late July. The next issue will focus on the proposed plan of Federal Heights to become a Historic District, new zoning amendments and the 2005 Infill ordinance.

Ms Nelson said that all meeting minutes will be posted on the blog prior to future meetings and members are asked to review them there prior to the next meeting. All members were not aware of this, so this time the past meeting minutes will be read aloud.

Approval of past meeting minutes
Beth Arnett read the minutes of the last FHNA membership meeting. They were placed before the membership and were unanimously approved after Noel deNevers made the motion to approve as written and Gene Fitzgerald seconded.


Adjournment
The meeting was adjourned by Ms Nelson at 6:50 PM and all were encouraged to attend the upcoming open meeting with Mr. Mike Perez, VP of Facilities Management at the U of U, taking place at 7PM.
