General Meeting June 30, 2020
Happy Summer, Croissant Park neighbors,
It’s a hot one already! Makes you wonder what August will be like…
We had our second ZOOM General meeting. Invites were sent out by email and we had three people attending. The Board members in attendance were our President Pat, Vice President Michelle, Treasurer Joe, Directors Rhonda and Jodi, and Secretary Virginia.
Officer Rodriguez from FLPD reports that from January to present date we have had 5 residential burglaries and 5 vehicle burglaries. These statistics are low and may be attributed to our quarantine that began around the middle of March. There have been requests for permits for more protests and they hope they will be peaceful. Michelle asked if there had been any reports regarding purse snatching at Winn-Dixie. Ofc. Rodriguez replied that there had not been any reports. We are reminded to keep our purses and other valuables on our person at all times.
Broward County Public Schools continue to provide the Summer Lunch Program on Tuesdays from 7-12pm and they are providing breakfast and lunch at numerous high school, middle school and elementary schools in Broward County. A school age child must be in the car or with a group walking. There will be enough food for all accompanying the student. Croissant Park Civic Association has contributed to our neighborhood feeding programs at Sunshine Cathedral and Seventh-Day Adventist Church.
Some restaurants in the area have been shut down and fined for a period of time for violating COVID regulations.
Broward County beaches will be closed from July 3rd through July 6th. Local firework displays will be in various venues. We are asked to remain at home and enjoy the fireworks from our balconies and back yards.
We need new neighborhood entrance signs and Rhonda has reached out to our attendees at tonight’s meeting: we are looking for artists to submit designs. Jill Young has volunteered to be the contact person for signage ideas.
Greg McAloon mentioned that the allocation of funds to Croissant Park by Commissioner Sorenson has not come to the level of allocation for other neighborhoods in District 4.
Parking rates are going up in July at the City lots. The best deal is to get your resident parking permit at the Parking Permit Enforcement office at NE 3rd Ave and 3rd Street.
If you donate blood at OneBlood.org, they will test you for COVID-19 and send the results in 4 days by email.
Rhonda asked our attendees if 7pm is a good time for a meeting, they replied that earlier is better.
Stay cool, social distance, wear a mask and hydrate. Our next General meeting will be on Tuesday, September 29th. Venue to be announced.
Minutes by Virginia, CPCA Sec’y
