C. Minutes for 10\/7\/25 approved with one correction: Kent Peterson added as
\u201cExcused\u201d under Attendance.
II. Announcements: none.
III. Nominations for new board members: Lisa Dwiggins and Melanie Anderson were
unanimously approved for appointments to two-year terms.
IV. Treasurer\u2019s Report: Scott noted income for October included $60 from the
membership drive and $2,778 from the Crockett Community Foundation for the Fred
Clerici Butterfly Garden. Expenses totaled $2,129 for the $150 stipend paid for daily
maintenance of the Plaza; $1,799 for Plaza maintenance supplies; and $180 for the
November Residential Clean Up. Kent clarified that any expense over $100 must
have advance approval from the Board, except the dedicated funds that can be
spent by the respective committee chairpersons, at will. Dale suggested the January
2026 agenda include a Financial Policy Review and a CIA Budget for 2026. Lastly,
Scott stated that he\u2019d applied for $2,106 from the Rodeo Renewed Community
Benefit Fund for reimbursement of the debris bins, but that he has not received a
response from the coordinator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
V. Committee Reports
A. Beautification: Lindsey announced that she held another work party at the Plaza
and that the committee is working on designing the Fred Clerici Butterfly Garden.
B. Traffic: Sonja said she will be setting up the next committee meeting via email.
C. Solid Waste Issues: no report.
D. Website: Lindsey said they would be setting up a time to meet as a committee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
E. Membership: Dolores stated that we have 93 members. Iris suggested that we
solicit members through more banners in town and placement of a $50 ad in the
CMS yearbook. The latter passed with a group consensus.
F. Fundraising: Jule suggested that we rethink the Halloween Pet Parade and Trick
or Treating at the Plaza as there were two other competing Halloween events for
children on the same day this year. This event does not raise funds but does
function as a CIA public service.
G. Daffodil Project: Sonja announced there would be a planting party on Sunday,
November 16, 2025. As we have over 350 daffodils to plant, a subsequent
planting party may be held in December. January is the deadline of when
daffodils can be planted.
H. Traffic Calming on Pomona Street: Alan explained that after review by Public
Works, it appears that raised walkways cannot be installed, but that 26 of the
residents on Pomona that he and Public Works talked to and surveyed were in
favor of the street humps. Alan suggested that instead of the fourth hump being
installed at the corner of Pomona and Alexander Street, a 4-Way Stop there
might be a better plan. He met with District 5 County Supervisor Shannelle
Scales-Preston to acquaint her with the plan. At that meeting there were also two
residents who were opposed to the plan. Shannelle assured them that the plan is
still in the discussion stage and must be analyzed further by the county.
VI. Old Business: The board decided that at this point, we cannot name specific dates
for CIA activities in 2026 to comply with Jena\u2019s request that the dates be included in
the town\u2019s Master Calendar. Kent stated that he still needs volunteers for the 11\/8\/25
Residential Clean Up but that all other arrangements have been made. The issue of
the CIA shipping container at the CCSD was resolved. The board decided to gift the
container to CCSD after the CIA sorts through it to see if anything should be retained
by the CIA. It was noted that the contents include a street sweeper and a trailer that
requires a yearly DMV registration fee. Presumably, if the CIA gifts the trailer to the
CCSD, the CCSD would be responsible for the registration fee henceforth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
VII. New Business: The CIA set its Holiday Potluck for the date of the regular meeting
next month (December 2), starting at 6:00 pm. Dale will obtain approval for the
earlier time. All CIA members and their guests are invited to attend and to bring a
dish to share. At the brief business portion of the meeting, we will begin to put
together a slate of officers for 2026. Several items were placed in the Parking Lot on
that agenda for discussion at the January meeting, when the election of officers will
take place.
VIII. Adjournment: at 8:00 pm.
Next Meeting: Tuesday, December 2, 2025, 6:00 pm, small meeting room at the
Crockett Community Center, Holiday Potluck.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
