Neighbors,
Thursday, January 12th will be our first January Annual Meeting (since moving it there, from July, last October in a vote). During this meeting, as with all Annual Meetings, we will have officer elections. This year, President, Treasurer, and three Directors will be elected. We will be discussing our accomplishments in the past year and our schedule of events for 2012, and as always, taking ideas for neighbors on what we ought to be doing.
To kick off the meeting, we will have two speakers. One of our two City Councilors, Don Harris (District 9 – everything south of Indian School in our NA) will speak and then take questions, and then a staffer from Martin Heinrich’s office will speak and take questions. Please plan to attend and bring your questions for our speakers.
Jay Brotz
President, Embudo Canyon Neighborhood Association

Attending: Jay Brotz, John and Judy Minks
Meeting was called to order at 7:30 p.m. by Jay Brotz, President. The meeting was attended by four neighbors of Stutz NE in regards to barking dogs. A quorum was not present so no official business was conducted, however, two items were discussed: 1) A visit to the Office of Neighborhood Coordination (ONC) by Nena Almodovar and Judy Minks to present and request feed back for the Neighborhood Support Committee (NSC) concept. Pat Montoya and Deborah Mason provided excellent feed back about how such a committee would interact with the city. Pat and Deborah suggested NSC detail how the cityʼs 311 system works to resolve issues and explaining the power of googling ʻCABQ + the issueʼ will get the person to the appropriate place in the Cityʼs website for information, etc. Quite a few steps remain before NSC can go live on the website–i.e. interactive nature of the tracking form to be used by the reporting and support parties being the most obvious. 2) Judy Minks presented the ONCʼs Report Form to the four neighbors attending the meeting. Discussion ensued on how to help with a longstanding barking dog issue in the Stutz neighborhood. ECNA was asked to support a general letter that would be sent to area ECNA residents asking for compliance with city ordinances regarding barking dogs. ECNA took the matter under advisement. Because of the lack of a quorum a special meeting was called for October 26, 2011 at the house of John Minks, 7:30 p.m.
The meeting was adjourned at 8:30 p.m. Submitted by Judy Minks

Meeting was called to order at 7:30 p.m. by Jay Brotz. The first item of official business was to change the annual meeting to January and have this change reflected in the Bylaws. The vote was unanimous. 1) A letter asking area businesses to join ECNA was approved and will be sent out by Judy Minks. The letter will ask for donations to support the annual events mailer in early January. 2) The meeting/event calendar for 2012 was determined as follows: January 12, 2012 Annual Meeting and invite Mayor to speak; February 9, 2012-regular board meeting; March 8, 2012-Speaker; April 12, 2012 Annual CABQ Clean-up; May 10, 2012- Speaker; June 2, 2012-Annual Picnic; July 12, 2012-Board Meeting; August 9, 2012 or date of National Night Out for Annual Ice Cream Social; September 13, 2012 Speaker; October 11, 2012 Board Meeting and Plan for 2013; November 8, 2012-No Meeting; December 13, 2012-No Meeting. 3) Jay will do an email to the membership announcing the annual meeting and election of officers as well as invite the Mayor as a speaker for January, 2012. 4) In reference to the barking dogs in the Stutz area, a chronology of the barking dogs plus two letters was approved. One letter to the owner and tenant of the property and another general letter to the Stutz area residents asking for compliance. Judy Minks is working on the chronology and letters–to be approved by the board.

EMBUDO CANYON NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION (ECNA) MEETING MINUTES, 08 SEPTEMBER 2011
The meeting was called to order by ECNA President Jay Brotz at 7:00PM. Officers present were Vice-President Ray Dymale, Treasurer John Minks, Secretary David Zeuch, and Directors at Large Suzanne Kersten, Floyd Spencer and Nena-Joy Almodovar.
GUEST SPEAKER, APD SARGENT PAUL DURAN
Sargent Duran gave us an update on crime in the area. There was nothing new to relate for the immediate area that includes the Association. However, APD has been focusing attention on apartments in neighborhoods that are near ECNA. This has included investigating problem tenants, problem apartment buildings, and running the license plates of automobiles that are out in the open to find stolen vehicles.
This has had an effect, reducing burglaries by 15% within the Foothills Command. [Read more →]
