GRACE UNITED METHODIST CHURCH
205 E. MONROE, AUSTIN, TEXAS
D R A F T
AGENDA
CALL TO ORDER- Presenter: Sarah Campbell, President, unless otherwise noted below.
1. 7:00 Meeting procedures & etiquette. Welcome newcomers
APPROVAL OF MINUTES
2. 7:10 Approve minutes from January 4, 2009,
general membership meeting (available at www.srccaustin.org).
NEW BUSINESS
3. 7:15 The SRCC Executive Committee is recommending changes to our
dues categories and levels, as well as to the membership/dues form. The
changes are being recommended to simplify and modernize (no one
remembers when our dues were last raised). A handout illustrating the
recommended changes will be available at the meeting. The changes are (1)
to reduce our current 4 dues categories to two: Single @ $20/year and Family @ $35/year;
and (2) to eliminate Interest Areas from the form, and to add a choice for "Additional
donations to SRCC general fund." If passed, we propose the changes take effect February 15, 2010.
4. 7:25 Discuss voluntary donations to Grace Methodist Church and to John
Jordan, Church caretaker, who has helped us with meetings and our 4th of
July picnic for years. In over 35 years, SRCC has never been required to
pay for use of the Church, yet we have no doubt contributed our fair share of ordinary wear and tear.
5. 7:40 Owners of the Park Lane Guest House at 221 Park Lane have
submitted a site plan seeking a conditional use permit to operate as a bed and breakfast.
Presenter: Jean Mather, Chair of Zoning & Planning Standing Committee
6. 7:50 Review and vote on application for the following street closure: the
alley parallel to and west of S Congress between Elizabeth and Monroe Streets,
