Buccaneer Bay Newsletter September, 2017

Transcription

1 Buccaneer Bay Newsletter September, 2017 Note from the Editor First, let me apologize for not getting the newsletter out earlier. I try to have it out by the first part of the month. It seems like this month has really gone by fast. I seem to say that a lot as I try to keep up with all that I currently have on my plate. I am beginning to take a look at the various boards and committees that I sit on and determine if I really want to continue with them. I have always tried to make every decision that I make on a board to be what is best for the constituents that I serve. It is not always an easy job, and if you feel it is something that should be done other board members may not want to do a project due to cost. This has happened many times on the various boards that I have served on over the years. Often times they are right, but sometimes I feel a board could have done more to help with the issue. Our first meeting for residents on Neighborhood Watch was held on September 5. See Page 2 for a summary. It was very well attended and we plan to have another one in January. Right now I am trying to fill the vacancies of Block Captains. Please see Page 28 for the list of Block Captains. This list is normally attached to the Buccaneer Bay Phone Directory each year. I am still in the process of updating the phone Directory for next year. I will also be setting up a Block Captain meeting for sometime in October. It is hard to believe that Fall is just around the corner. I have always liked the Fall better than the other seasons. It is usually cooler than summer and much nicer than winter. This year s Almanac is predicting a very cold winter for Nebraska, with coldest time being from mid December through January. The heaviest snow fall is expected to start in November and go through late February. Spring is to arrive early with warmer weather. While I like to have an idea of what the weather will be for the winter months I pretty much take the predictions with a grain of salt. Though I do listen to the weather reports, especially if I have to take a car trip. Again, I apologize for being so late with this month s newsletter. I can t believe here it is the middle of the month and I am just now getting it out. At least being late gave me a chance to have the minutes from last month s SID Board meeting and the minutes from this month s meeting. There will be a special SID Board Meeting on September 27 for the board to review and vote on the Resolution of Necessity for 2017 Road and Storm Water Management Reconstruction Project. I have the Resolution posted on the SID page of the website along with the agenda: Published Since April 1997 Table of Contents This-N-That Page 2 Nebraska Traffic Report Page 3 Information Page 4 Advertising Page 5-11 August Market Minute Page 12 SID#5 Water Billing Report (Aug & Sept) Page SID#5 Monthly Water Reports (July & Aug) Page SID#5 August Minutes Page SID#5 September Minutes Page NHW Block Captains Page 28 Newsletter Deadlines and Advertising Rates Articles and Letters to the Editor due the 15 th of each month.

Cass County Towns Murdock A lot of living had occurred in this area before the town of Murdock was founded. Both the Oxbow Trail and the Mullen Ranch had come and gone. Farms were acquired either through homesteading or purchase from the railroad. Interestingly, 91% of the land in the 43 sections in this area is owned by families who have been here over 100 years. When the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific Railroad built a line from Omaha to Colorado in December 1890, and needed a water station at this location, the town of Murdock was born. Murdock s population has remained a stable throughout the years. Life centers around the agricultural interests with its co-op elevator, seed farm, bank and array of businesses.

Matt Jarvis, Training Aide, from the Cass County Sheriff s office talked about security and keeping the Neighborhood Watch program active. He noted several times if you See Something Say Something. The one surprising comment he made was his answer to the question about street lights. He said they do not deter crime, it is best to have your outside lights on and lights in the house. I did check and none of the covenants in Buccaneer Bay prohibit outside lights to be left on as long as they do not shine into other homes. Of course, you wouldn t want them left on all night. Some residents noted they have timers on their lights. Sandy Weyers, Director of Cass County Emergency Management presented information on being prepared for storm events. Even with the various automated systems such as the weather alert radios and the Cass County Alert System, that allows you to sign up for weather alerts to be sent to your phones or , she recommends the installation of warning sirens. There may be Federal dollars to help pay for them, but the SID would have to pick up a certain percentage. Something that has been discussed for years, and I personally have been against them, but because we do have people outdoors in the day hours it may be a good idea. This is something we may definitely want to look into and see what the cost would be and where would be the best place to locate one. Another meeting will be setup after early next year.
