VIII. New Business
· Sherri Yokley and Ronnie Phillips (Bus/Van Driver) from WAVES attended to discuss a concern raised in a phone call and email to them about their bus/van being in the neighborhood so often. They said they understood the concern after the child-related incident in the neighborhood. They wanted to assure the other homeowners that the van/bus had been in the neighborhood a lot lately because of several maintenance issues with their house, and they also bring the people that mow the lawn at the house (7344 Hidden Lake Circle). Spenser Aden relayed from Jay Rogers what great neighbors the WAVES house was. For those who don’t know, Waves, Inc. is a community non-profit agency serving Williamson County, Tennessee.
