all you do for Crockett.\u201d
III. Treasurer\u2019s Report: Scott distributed the Treasurer\u2019s Report dated 6\/1\/25.
IV. Committee Reports
A. Beautification: We are seeking a maintenance person to gather trash and
otherwise maintain the Plaza. We can pay $150 to $200 per month to the person.
Kent suggested that we contact Jim Gardener to see if he\u2019s interested. The
Butterfly Garden, a tribute to Fred Clerici, is going forward at the Plaza as a joint
project with the Crockett Community Foundation. The fountain has been turned
off again as it needs another repair. Kent estimates he will get it working within
the next week.
B. Traffic: The data collection on the number travelling through town
(and also getting lost) has been tabulated and the committee\u2019s goal is to present
their report soon for the CIA Board\u2019s approval.
C. Solid Waste Issues: The committee met with District 5 Supervisor Scales-Preston
to present the CIA\u2019s recommendations for the new franchise agreement with
Republic Services, which is supposed to be approved by the Board of
Supervisors this month, to go into effect in July. The committee will review the
final agreement passed by the BOS and report back to the group at our next
meeting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
D. Website: The status of the website is unknown as Daniel is absent. Sonja
volunteered to contact him for a report out at our next meeting.
E. Membership: Dolores reported that we now have a total of 84 paid members.
See New Business for a discussion of a major membership drive planned for
2026.
F. Fundraising: The fundraising committee meeting was cancelled last month. The
Pet Parade is coming up in October and Julie thinks we can again sell CIA
baseball caps to raise money. She will keep us advised as to the progress on
that project.
V. Old Business
A. Residential Clean Up is all set for 6\/14\/25. The fundraising potential was
discussed in this project also. We will be accepting donations again at the event.
B. Consider cancelling CIA Meeting in July: the group voted in favor of this item.
Next meeting will be 8\/5\/25. Dale will be absent; Lindsey or Mary will chair the
meeting.
C. Crockett Public Services now handling Wanda Bypass donations? Kent
answered that they are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
VI. New Business
A. Sugar Town Festival 7\/20\/25: The group again decided that participation in this
event is not good use of our time for soliciting new members as most of the
attendees are usually from out-of-town. However, Dolores reminded us that it is
used as a fundraiser for many organizations in town. Next year, we may want to
consider selling a product to raise funds for our organization.
B. Permission to use the Plaza 6\/28\/25: We voted to allow use of the Plaza this date
for Dan Robertson\u2019s 88 th birthday celebration. Dan has been a long-time member
and supporter of the CIA.
C. Partnership with the Chamber of Commerce in the placement of an electronic
billboard in town: Norma Black, chair of the Chamber, suggested that our two
organizations spearhead the establishment of an electronic billboard to announce
various events, obviating the need for banners at the pool. Many issues were
discussed, such as cost, site, etc. The group asked Norma to return to the CIA
later with a more detailed proposal when the Chamber has more information on
some of these logistics.
D. Fire Hardening, Community Benefits Agreement (CBA) Advisory Panel, CIA to
Apply for CBA grant: This item was continued to the next meeting.
E. Planning for Membership Drive in 2026: In acknowledgement of the need to
infuse more youth and energy into our membership, it was suggested that we
plan for a major membership drive when we recruit next year. Margaret joined
Delores and Sonja in the planning committee.
F. Planning for Daffodil Project this Winter: A goal for this year continues to be to
plant a total of 1,000 daffodil bulbs in town for an annual Spring bloom. Thus far,
250 have been planted (150 of which were donated by Jena). The group
approved the purchase of 750 more bulbs for the project, in the hopes that many
could be planted at the bridgehead. Dolores volunteered to apply to the Crockett<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Community Foundation for a $1,000 grant for the project. Sonja agreed to furnish
Dolores with ordering information to be included in the grant request.
VII. Parking Lot: Brochure, repair person for Plaza, public art for the Plaza, medians,
tracking fountain utilities, License Plate Readers, sideshows.
VIII. Adjournment: at 8:24 pm.
Next Meeting: Tuesday, August 5, 2025, 6:30 pm, Crockett Community Center.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
