Proposed Merger of Swim Club and Biltmore Park
Association
By letter to the Biltmore Park
Association (BPA) dated August 1, 2011, the Biltmore
Park Swim Club (Swim Club) expressed interest in
exploring a merger of the two organizations, including a
transfer of the ownership of Swim Club property into the
BPA.
Swim Club Members and BPA members were invited to
participate in an open discussion of this merger
proposal on Tuesday, Sep 6th at the
Biltmore Park Swim Club. See the
Meeting Notice,
PowerPoint Presentation, and
Minutes
for details of what occurred including
Q&A.
Subsequently, the BPA membership was asked to vote on
the proposal.
On
Nov 29th the
Biltmore Park Association (BPA) held its Annual Meeting. As tabulated at
the meeting, the count was
155 FOR and 106 AGAINST the proposed transaction to convey all
Swim Club assets to BPA. Because there was not a majority (250) vote either for
or against, the voting period remains open for another ninety (90) days
per the Master Declaration.
IF YOU HAVE NOT SUBMITTED YOUR PROXY
ON THIS IMPORTANT VOTE PLEASE RETURN THE SECOND PROXY FORM (ENCLOSED IN THE
DUES NOTICE MAILING YOU RECEIVED IN DECEMBER) WITHIN SEVEN (7) DAYS OF RECEIPT.
It is the Board of Directors recommendation
that the proposed transaction is in the best interest of the Biltmore Park
Association.

Leaf & Brush
Collection
In an
effort to address community concerns, conserve costs and improve water quality,
changes to the brush and leaf collection program were submitted as part of the
budget which was adopted by City Council on May 24.
Beginning July 1, 2011 the
frequency of brush and bagged leaf collection will change from once per month
to
twice per month.
Brush for
Thursday trash customers will be
collected the second and forth week of the month.
Brush
collection will continue to occur on a scheduled week and not a specific day.
Residents should make sure brush is out for collection by 7 a.m. on the Monday
of their collection week.
Brush should be cut to four
feet in length and six inches in diameter. Crews ask that residents do not mix
trash, debris, garden waste, weeds, vines, construction materials, leaves or
dirt with their brush or bagged leaves. For the safety of crews, thorny
trimmings should be placed in a separate pile.
Another change will be the elimination of loose leaf collection by vacuum
trucks. Beginning July 1, all leaves must be bagged for collection. The
city will provide large leaf bags to residents on a first come first served
basis; bags will be available at local fire stations in October. Director of
Public Works Cathy Ball shares, “moving to bagged leaf collection only will both
save money and help improve water quality since loose leaves often clog storm
drains".
Revised brush and bagged
leaves collection schedules will be mailed to residents within the next two
weeks or you can

Sanitation webpage.
