New Meeting Time and Christmas Tree Info

The Board decided to make the 2nd regular business meeting each month start at 6PM. This should make it easier for those who have an issue related to their water bill, sewer service, garbage pickup, or security to come and make their concerns known during the Public Comments section of the agenda. It is almost always the first thing on the agenda, so please be sure to arrive by 6PM. The meetings are still held at the office of Strawn & Richardson, P.C.
6750 West Loop South, Suite 250
Bellaire, TX 77401-4111 which is on the corner of Bellaire and the 610 Loop in the Frost Bank Building. The first evening meeting will be held on 12/18/12, and the Board will consider adding quarterly "TOWN HALL" type meetings for 2013. What's the difference between these quarterly meetings and the regular business meetings?

While the Board is eager to hear of residents' concerns during the regular business meeting, the point of the meeting is to conduct the business of the District.  The point of having TOWN HALL meetings will be to allow residents to come and discuss any issues of concern openly with the Board members in a give-and-take format. To understand why that can't be done during our regular business meetings,  please see my earlier post The Peanut Gallery Revisited.

Here's some information from Waste Management about what to do with your Christmas tree when the holidays are over.
