Rosedale Harvard Gulch Neighborhood Association
MINUTES The minutes of both the Start-Up Committee meeting of November 5, 2009 and the General Membership Meeting of November 18, 2009 were approved. DISCUSSION The group discussed the various ways that information is made available to the membership: website, newsletters, emails, etc. Jim brought the notebook that Carri Currier has been preparing to be made available at Harvard Gulch Rec Center – it includes the Block Captain list and map, Minutes, Bylaws draft. The consensus was that we are doing an adequate job of having information available. Placing notebooks in other business locations may be explored. INTER-NEIGHBORHOOD COOPERATIVE Terrie suggested that RHGNA join the Inter-Neighborhood Cooperative (INC). It was decided to review and consider joining after the Board is elected and we have funds. This will be put on the February Board meeting agenda. BYLAWS Cathy stated that the Bylaws Committee will meet one more time to address any comments or suggestions received to date before a final version is posted on the website and put in the Notebook by 12/20 – 30 days prior to the Annual Meeting. This will be the version presented for a vote on January 20 NOMINATING COMMITTEE Derek Allan said that he has not heard back from all current members of the Start-up Committee regarding their wishes to be nominated for Board positions. He will contact the remaining people and then the Nominating Committee will know which positions will need to be filled with other nominees. The process for the elections will be on the agenda for the January 7, 2010 meeting. MEDICAL MARIJUANA BUSINESSES Scot reported that he had visited Colorado Alternative Medicine (CAM) at S. Broadway and Wesley and met the CEO Anna Cozy. She is interested in being a member of RHGNA, making a presentation at a meeting and perhaps advertising. It was noted that another medical marijuana business has opened on S. Downing just north of Wesley. After discussion on what we see as the direction of our relationship to these businesses, it was decided that Scot will establish a dialogue with CAM regarding a possible time-limited "educational" presentation (not just a sales pitch) on the issue and report back to the Start-Up Committee at the next meeting.

TH ANNUAL MEETINGPlans for the Annual meeting will be discussed and finalized at the Start-Up Committee meeting on January 7, 2010.
