Announcements

Neighbors, During these social distancing time the neighborhood has continued to operate as best we can. Neighbors have been looking after neighbors. Due to closures there will not be any HNA meetings till July at the earliest. In the meantime HNA officers have continued to operate, coordinating with Councilwoman Tovo's office in getting volunteers to participate in helping the elderly during this time.

Other updates:

News Item #1: The HNA Executive Committee has approved the Parks Committee recommendation for the continuation of Trail Maintenance consisting of $31,790 contract from the HNA funds held by The Austin Parks Foundation. With this approval PARD will move forward on the next steps in setting up a contract and work order. After months of negotiations and quotes, this contract will repair and maintain the entire trail bringing it to a base level since maintenance has been so delayed.This project would include the addition of several limestone steps and patching small ruts/steps on 38th. Then reinstalling 500ft of trail along Peck and 675ft along 41st. Portions of the trail will have a more permanent STA-LOK which is a waxey epoxy-like material that hardens under pressure. Once installed, it should last many years even on steep grades. This option will reduce the cost of regular maintenance over the years. The funds come from reserves held by the Austin Parks Foundation. Once we open back up the Parks Committee will be hosting a neighborhood meeting to prioritize other expenditures from this fund.

News Item #2: HNA is looking for volunteers to help with designing, migrating and updating a new HNA website. If anyone is willing to help on this project, especially anyone with experience/skills in setting up a website please email Hugh Bender at hbender@bendertx.com.

Hello,

Hancock Recreation Center would like to formally invite you and your participants to join us for the Candlelight Trail on December 7 and 8th 7-9:30pm. This free event is open to the public and we welcome community members to walk the trail around the golf course and rec center and then join us inside the center for activities, light refreshments and fellowship.

In the past, we have had some of the dance groups that host classes at Hancock perform their dances as well as invite the public to join in with the dancing. We would love nothing more than to continue that tradition this year. Please email me back if your group would be willing to take part in offering your class to the public and which day/time you would prefer. Also, if you would like to set up a table to pass
out your information for recruitment, please let us know.

Lastly, we could really use some volunteers to put the candles out starting at 4:30pm on Friday AND Saturday, helping run activity booths, or passing out refreshments. If you could help provide some volunteers or point us in the right direction on how to recruit volunteers, we would greatly appreciate it.

I look forward to hearing back from you all soon.

Devon

Hi Neighbors,

I am Reid Long, President of the Hyde Park Neighborhood Association. I wanted to write and extend an invite for both you and your members to our June meeting tomorrow night at 7 PM at the Griffin School (5001 Evans Ave, Austin, TX 78751). We do ask that you sign in on our guest list at the membership table that just inside the doors. Our agenda includes two very special guests.

First, we will be having a conversation and discussion about the direction of the City along with a QA with new City Of Austin Manager Spencer Cronk. The conversation will focus around three questions developed from his listening questions when he was first appointed. After this conversation, we will have an open QA with the City Manager.

After Manager Cronk, we will have a discussion and open QA with Mayor Steve Adler regarding Code Next. I know this subject is a hot topic for our neighborhoods and this will be an opportunity to have an intimate QA with the Mayor on this subject.

I hope that you and/or your members can join us as it would be great to have comments from the broader community. What impacts one of us impacts all of our neighborhoods.

Hope to see you out.

Best,
Reid

Hyde Park Neighborhood Association
