University Heights Neighborhood Meeting Minutes
Tuesday, May 18, 2010
Sixteen people present. Minutes of the April 20 meeting were reviewed and approved.
1. Gary Loveless, Mayor’s Neighborhood Liaison
Handed out posters for bank accounts—trying to get people off check cashing places. Passed out rain garden brochures. The City Council approved initiating discussion on the sale of the water company. Some questions and discussion about the financing. E-mail Gary (gloveles@indygov.org) and he will send your questions about the sale to the mayor’s staff. There was also a question about the quality of work on the utility project on Hanna.
2. Dept. of Public Works reps Adie Gaines and Marlon Wright talked about the new trash cans. Put your address on the trash can. There is a CAD number that is on the trash can and assigned to the house address. You can have up to 2 cans. The first can is free. An extra can is $65, but it is yours to keep. You need to put all trash in the container and bagged. Bagging will prevent the trash from blowing all over the neighborhood. Pickup is changing from Friday to Wednesday.
There were questions about parking and problems with getting trash picked up, especially on Edwards where cars park on both sides of the street. Put can on the street if possible in those cases. Elderly residents or people with disabilities should call the Mayor’s Action Center at 327-4622. Leaf season will stay the same: bag leaves separately and keep 10 feet away from the trash can. You can drop off trash on Saturdays at 2700 S. Belmont, for a small charge. You can’t leave cans next to the alley during the week, only on trash days. Heavy trash pick up will remain the same.

Thanks to those who distributed flyers to announce the meeting.
18 in attendance.
Minutes from the February meeting: Gary Loveless’s last name was corrected.
IndyConnect project:
Gary Loveless, Mayor’s community liaison, discussed last time. They are collecting data on what people want for transportation. They want information about what we want (bicycle paths, sidewalks) and funding ideas. Ruth passed around brochures. You can go to Indyconnect.org for more information.
Old inter-urban property line along Madison, question about who owns that. Perhaps it could be used.
Reviewed bylaws voted on last meeting. Second vote was unanimous and the neighborhood bylaws were adopted.
Need nominations for the election of (2) co-coordinators, one to serve for one year and one to serve for two years, so that the terms are staggered. People can self-nominate and should encourage neighbors to run. Ruth Soper is willing to run for the one year term. Gabe Granger is possibly interested in serving. Send your nominations to Ruth at ruthsoper@yahoo.com before April 9.
FROM: Ruth Soper, UHNA Co-coordinator:
Hi neighbors,
We need your help to keep the University Heights Neighborhood Association growing and thriving. It is time to nominate co-coordinators for the May 18 election . Our organization's leadership is designed so that the co-coordinators share the responsibility of developing agendas and chairing meetings. This gives great flexibility if one coordinator cannot always attend. We want to keep it simple. Nominate yourself or ask someone who you think would help make our association successful and effective. Contact either of us by phone or email for more information. Nominees will present themselves at the April 20, 2010, UHNA meeting.

I am hoping several interested University Heights neighbors can attend this event and report back to us. It is for neighborhood associations to network, share ideas about best practices, green initiatives, sustainable communities, neighborhood improvments, etc. - IT IS FREE. I talked to Jon Berg. He encouraged us to send 3-4 people.

I am looking for anyone in the neighborhood who would be interested in taking over managing the website for the neighborhood. It is fairly easy to do. I can take care of the technical aspects. If you can work with a word processor you are ready to run the website.
The reason we need a new webmaster for the site is because I am leaving. After twelve years in the neighborhood, we have decided to move. I would like to live closer to my workplace and the timing seems right. We will miss the neighborhood. There are a lot of good reasons to live in University Heights.
If you would be interested in contacting me about hosting the website, call Greg at 1-317-777-0751. Or email me at the following edited for spam protection email address (you'll need to put it together):
mrperiodgregperiodfilteratgmailperiodcom
(replace period with . and at with @)
Sincerely, Greg

Happy New Year!
During the past 8 months, David Wantz has been working with Nassimi Realty to relocate a store in the vacant Target building on US 31. The numerous phone calls, e-mails, and visits to other stores finally paid off. As reported in today's Indianapolis Business Journal, we have a new business to be proud of - Shoppers World, which is scheduled to open in March.
David was also able to use the Gateway Community Alliance network to show Nassimi Realty how strong a business community this is.
Shoppers World taking former Target space

January 6, 2010
Discount department-store chain Shoppers World has signed a deal to take over a shuttered Target store on the south side. The New York-based chain agreed to lease the 85,000-square-foot space in Felbram Plaza North shopping center along U.S. 31 South from New York-based Nassimi Realty. Target closed the store when its lease expired in January 2009. The new Shoppers World store is scheduled to open in March, said Andrew Levian, a leasing agent with Nassimi. Shoppers World has one other location in Indianapolis, in Lafayette Square mall. That store opened in 2008, taking a 100,000-square-foot space formerly occupied by J.C. Penney. It was the first outpost in the Midwest for the chain, which operates 10 stores in New York and New Jersey. (Photo: Google Maps)
