Meeting was held 6:05 PM August 16, 2006, at the Parker Fire District Headquarters.
Attendees:
Ed Bennett, Tony Breglio, Alan Fletcher, Glenn Marshment, Pat and Ray Witzel, Dan and Carol Qualman, Tammi and Zayn Young
Introduction:
Alan gave an overview of the HOA Advisory Committee?’s responsibility and functions. He advised that there was no correspondence from Anthology, but that Anthology is replenishing the funds for food used on the movie night when we got rained out.
Public Input: A pathway is needed from the Banyon Drive to the mailboxes in that area. During rains it is impossible to stop on the street and get to the mailbox without getting one?’s feet dirty.
Old Business:
Mailbox Lighting: There was consensus to recommend to PCMS that lighting be added to the other two mailbox locations.
Pet Stations: Nothing further to report.
Community Watch program ?– Two police officers spoke about the Neighborhood Watch program. Parker has mostly property crimes. Neighborhood watch programs are effective in preventing these crimes and catching criminals in the act of burglary. The program has a group of interested people on a block or area of the street with a block captain who keeps the people in his/her area about criminal happenings through email lists. Parker PD would keep the captains current on what crimes were happening or to watch for wanted vehicles. This only works if there are several persons in an area that are dedicated to keeping involved. The key is for everyone to know their neighbors and watch out for any suspicious activities in the area. They advised that if you think it is suspicious that it probably is and that we should call the PD on the non-emergency number 303 841-9800.
The committee thought it would be worthwhile to send out flyers and host a BBQ to discuss interest in starting a program. Ed Bennett volunteered to serve as the Neighborhood Watch Coordinator. The committee decided to initially try a program on Domingo Drive and one on Banyon Court to see how it goes; and then expand it as more folks express interest. Officer Trevor Nevins is the PD contact for the program, tnevins@ci.parker.co.us.
We need to get the website out so the community can get it bookmarked. Thought was to post it by the mailboxes and to send out with the minutes.
New Business:
None
Meeting adjourned at 7:35 PM.

The next meeting is scheduled for September 26, 2006, 6 PM at the Qualman?’s home at 17947 Domingo Drive. Anyone not able to attend may email comments to Dan Qualman at chief7dan@comcast.net. If you know of anyone not on our email list please advise them to send their address.
