HEN Board Elections 2018

8/28/2018

 
On Sunday, August 26, Historic Edgefield Neighbors met for their annual ice cream social and board elections. A large gathering of residents were on hand for the event, and here are the outcomes of the board elections:
 
Board Elections:
  • Anne Manner was elected to a three-year term (2018-2021) on the board.
  • Jenny Alexander was elected vice president (2016-2019).
  • Anderson Williams was elected secretary (2016-2019).
  • Randall Gilberd was elected treasurer (2016-2019).
 
Also, the following list includes our continuing board members and officers: Lois Layne, president (2017-2020); Jim Damato (2017-2020); Terri Dorsey (2017-2020); Brandon Dyce (2017-2020); Phillip Hill (term 2017-2020); Chris Lucas (2016-2019); and Steve O’loughlin (2017-2020).
 
Board Retirement: Sherne Marie McMillan (2015-2018) is retiring from the board. We appreciate her many contributions to the neighborhood, which include organizing a block party, hosting the newcomers brunch, and helping with the HEN booth at Night Out Against Crime. Thank you so much, Sherne Marie!
 
Next HEN Meeting: Our next neighborhood meeting is September 25 at East Park Community Center, from 7-8PM. The preliminary agenda includes: Metro Council report with CM Withers; crime update from MNPD; update on parking; storm drain adoption request; new Warner School liaison, Jonathan Wren; and a street sign repair update.
 
Neighborhood News:
  • An informative meeting on Residential Permit Parking for the 800 and 900 blocks of Russell St. was held on August 13. CM Wither’s survey of the parking needs of those residents was due August 19th. A follow-up meeting has not been scheduled. 
  • Work has begun on the Church Hotel at S. 9th and Russell. A large dumpster is located behind the church.
  • A street sign was knocked down in a car accident at 9th and Woodland. The driver who caused the accident fled the scene; the other driver, whose vehicle crashed into the sign, has insurance so we are hopeful that it will pay for the replacement of the sign. 
  • On September 5, the Board of Zoning Appeals will hear the appeal of owners of a proposed restaurant at 927 Woodland, which they want to open with inadequate parking spaces.
  • A recent survey revealed that neighbors prefer to receive neighborhood news in personal emails. We need the email address of everyone who prefers to be contacted that way. Please send us an email at historicedgefieldneighbors@gmail.com so we can send you updates directly to your inbox (and we promise not to overuse them or share them with anyone).

Russell Street Parking Permit Info Meeting

8/12/2018

 
On Monday, August 13, at 6:30PM, there will be a meeting at East Park Community Center on residential permit parking for the 800 and 900 blocks of Russell St.

Council Member Brett Withers has sent letters to all of the residents on those blocks informing them of the meeting and providing a survey form. If you live in those blocks and did not get a letter, contact CM Withers: 
Brett.withers@nashville.gov. 

The information about the meeting has also been posted by CM Withers on the Historic Edgefield Facebook page, and his post also was sent to neighbors on the 800 and 900 blocks of Russell for whom the board had email addresses. 

There will not be a vote at the August 13th meeting. The meeting will focus on providing information and answers to questions on residential permit parking so Russell St. residents can make an informed decision in the future. CM Withers has invited representatives from Public Works and the Mayor’s Office to answer questions.  

The Residential Permit Parking program is found in Section 12.42.010-110 of the municipal code.
