Raymondale Meeting Minutes, April 11


Below are the minutes of the April 11th Raymondale Civic Association Board Meeting as approved at the May 9th board meeting:

Sign Update:
Contract signed with Fastsigns. RCA verbally communicated with Mr. Ortega to let him know that the sign people will be taking measurements soon. Mr. Ortega was very agreeable with this development. Mr. Ortega received certified letter explaining the steps and timeline with sign installation and easement details. He was told that solar lighting would be used instead of electrical, no need for Dominion Power easement agreement.  Check for full amount delivered to Fastsigns. RCA also took $333 from final amount of proposal because Steve Simpson (7421 Add Dr.) will install. Sign address is 3325 Brandy Ct. Rendering of sign is on the way.

Rendering will accompany Spring 2013 newsletter with dues envelope and membership/fundraising letter appealing to residents to send in dues.  If rendering is too late, separate fundraising letter will go out after newsletter.  This is refill the RAC coffers as there will only be $200 left in the bank after the sign is purchased.

Possible sign dedication at the same time as block party with Penny Gross invited to cut the ribbon on the sign and then have the block party.  Possible dates June 22nd with then 29th as a backup.  Check with Ellis Ct folks on this date.
