TIMBERCREEK NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION
MEETING FEBRUARY 9, 2009-BENBROOK SENIOR CENTER-7PM
President Renee Kimbrell opened the TCNA meeting.
-Treasurer’s Report
VP Pat Dunkin read the Treasurer’s report in lieu of the absence of Treasurer Goins.
The account balance was recorded as $4095.03.
-New Members
President Kimbrell welcomed new members of the association. Membership forms were made available for new members and for existing members to renew.
VP Dunkin discussed e-mail addresses and the need to inform the board if that info needs to be updated in the TCNA records.
-Nomination and Election of Board Positions Voted Upon in Odd Years
Vice President-Pat Dunkin’s position was unchallenged-she was nominated by membership and accepted to serve 2 more years.
Secretary-Liz Dickason’s position was unchallenged-she was nominated by membership and accepted to serve 2 more years.
The following Captain positions were voted upon and approved by membership:
District 1-Marilyn Kepner
District 3-Pam O’Bannon
District 5-Bob Dickason
District 7-Jillian Coleman
District 9-Melinda Brown
District 11-Anne Baldwin
District 8 (open)-Judy Cohen
-Gas Drilling
President Kimbrell announced that there has been no output yet from our gas sites.
Everyone should have received their tax forms from the gas lease, and those forms should say “rent” and should be filed on taxes as rent. Forms received for “royalties” would be filed as such in the future.
-TCNA donations to Benbrook Police and Fire
President Kimbrell announced that, on behalf of the TCNA, she and Treasurer Barbara Goins presented checks (Nov. 2008) in the amount of $100 to both the Benbrook Police and Benbrook Fire Department for their charities. This issue had been approved by membership at the last TCNA meeting November 10, 2008.
-TCNA Blog
President Kimbrell discussed the blog site and asked for assistance from anyone who wants to work with her on development. Anyone wishing to assist should contact President Renee Kimbrell.
-TCNA T-Shirts
Secretary Liz Dickason announced that association t-shirts are still available for purchase.
-Timbercreek Entry Marker-Open Discussion
The new entry marker has been erected by the City.
-VP Pat Dunkin clarified the reason the City of Benbrook paid for our neighborhood marker. The original marker was destroyed some years back when the city did road and culvert work into Timbercreek. The Timbercreek sign was never replaced once the work was completed and the city felt that it was their responsibility to replace what had been removed.
-Some issues presented by membership:possible installation of solar lights to shine on the marker and landscaping around the marker.
-Timbercreek Park Improvements-Open Discussion
The issue of getting an improvement plan for our park and then having it presented to the city was brought forward by District 8 Captain Bob Dickason.
Member suggestions: “In Memory of” benches (Judy Cohen-District 8)
Walk Bridge to connect district 1 and 2 over to the city park (Marilyn Kepner-District 1)
A walk path was suggested. A dog park was suggested, but did not seem to be a possibility due to the maintenance issue and also the liability issue for the city.
-Park Committee
President Kimbrell suggested the TCNA nominate a group to form a park committee.
Nominated, voted by membership, and approved for committed were:
Bob Dickason, Marilyn Kepner, Carlton O’Bannon, Pat Dunkin
This group will meet, come up with ideas, and present those at a later date to the TCNA.
It was suggested that the committee can talk to the city about solar lights for the sign.
-Economic Development -President Kimbrell
Home Depot is apparently not coming, but Walmart may be here in 2011 or 2012.
City plans to widen Highway 377-Walmart may be after that. Traffic problems (getting off 820 onto 377) were discussed-President Kimbrell informed that is an issue for Dept. of Transportation. The City of Ft. Worth is not expanding Dirk’s Road past Bryant Irvin.
-Miscellaneous Items-President Kimbrell
--City of Benbrook web site has information for all residents.
“Get Fit Benbrook” is in progress-call the city if web access is a problem. The Y will waive fees for Benbrook residents who join for the “Get Fit Benbrook” program.
--4 Paws Treasure Sale-3rd Saturday in April-Antique Mall Parking Lot. Contact Pat Dunkin if you have items to donate (no clothes).
--Environmental Center at I30 & Bridge St. Benbrook residents can drop off batteries, paint, etc. Show residency by water bill.
The meeting adjourned at 8PM.
The next meeting of the TCNA is tentatively scheduled for May 11th, 2009.Minutes recorded by TCNA Secretary Liz Di
