SNNA February 22, 2015
Intros and Fun Facts
Staci from Tempur/312 - interested in creating neighborhood partnerships, not competition. Open for breakfast, as well as Cheese/Wine/Chocolate pairings throughout the day. They have an open kitchen, so spectators are welcome.
Lindsey talked to Sgt Kornberg about the increase in armed robberies. The stray bullet that came through Sean Sly’s window is not connected to any of the robberies of construction workers – its source is unknown. MNPD is considering bringing in plain-clothes officers to work the neighborhood. Reminder for everyone to call the non-emergency number if anything seems suspicious. Sgt Kornberg is also checking into the go-kart burglary kid (Josh ???)– has he been released from the detention facility, and will be keeping an eye on the area.
Treasurer’s Report from Rochelle
Social Committee Update
If anyone is interested in hosting for the progressive dinner party, please let Mindy know. This may also be a ticketed event, but that is undetermined.
Jack Davis has offered to work with us on a more involved level for the 2015 Halloween Block Party – we are still working out the details of how much responsibility Jack will take on and how the profit split will work.
The Bock Party website has been worked on, and looks better.
Capital District Street Fair will be May 16, 9am-6pm, and will include the Tour de Nash 2015. Salemtown will participate in some way.
Membership Committee Update
We are going to be more proactive about reaching out to new neighbors. We are looking to set up block captains to let new residents know about SNNA. A sign up sheet was passed around for recruitment of captains. We will also be working on a Salemtown newsletter to keep the non-tech residents updated.
Sgt Kornberg:
We have no updates on the crimes that have been occurring. Crime continues to increase during 2015 – an increase in robberies has been the primary driver. Crime has been up all over Davidson County, most of it by small groups of young people robbing people getting out of their cars in the evening. MNPD has increased patrols and added flex teams to the patrols. They have also added plain-clothes officers and undercover cars to the area.
Sgt Kornberg continues to respond to any emails that come from residents.
Lindsey asked about if it was appropriate to call the non-e number for animals being left out in severe weather or animal abuse if MACC is not available (after-hours). The MNPD can cite people for animal abuse.
Sgt Kornberg also let us know that he is extending the Dave Ramsey Financial Peace University classes to his community groups – this is not through his affiliation with MNPD. These will begin in March. A sign up sheet was passed around to all in attendance.
Minutes from January - moved to approve, unanimous approval.
Germantown has initiated the process for a traffic study. We could also ask for a traffic study by sending a formal letter and getting approval from CW Gilmore. No one raised any concerns about a request for a study, all comments were affirmative. The study would look at parking, street width, stop signs, and speed.
Regarding parking from the Sounds stadium, Lindsey has reached out to them discus how this will impact Salemtown – they have not responded. We are asking them to come to a meeting.
Regarding residential parking – it is something that SNNA has been casually discussing over the last few years.
Freddie talked about SNAP that created a developer manual to help guide the process of infill and SP. This is something that developers who want to work in good faith with Salemtown will follow – its not binding, its very informal, but it is useful
Paul asked about The Skillery – Lindsey provided a general overview of the co-working space.
Freddie also wanted to encourage people to register to vote and offered his endorsement sheet for voters to sign.
