RNA Annual Meeting & Holiday Social Tuesday Dec. 18 at Rudy’s

Dear Neighbors,

Consider joining us next Tuesday evening 7-9 pm at Rudy’s BBQ on Lamar Blvd in the Crockett Room (on the south end). We will enjoy the food, elect our 2019 officers and Steering Committee members, and discuss proposed changes to the RNA bylaws.

But mostly this is an excuse to meet and mingle with your neighbors.

To read about the proposed bylaw amendments:
Proposed bylaws: RNA-by-laws-proposed-20181108
Motivation for changes to the by-laws: RNA-by-laws-motivation-20181108

There are a few other items we will discuss, including our meeting schedule for 2019. As you may know, we won’t have a regular library meeting room until the Yarborough Library completes its planned but postponed remodeling.

We will also discuss the changes to Shoal Creek Blvd. proposed by the Shoal Creek Conservancy. Check it out at https://shoalcreekconservancy.org/

We’ll remind you about the Annual Meeting again, but please mark your holiday calendars!

RNA President for 2018

RNA Bylaws Changes Proposed

The Rosedale Neighborhood Association Steering Committee has initiated the process of amending its bylaws. This process is described in Article XII of the current bylaws (https://rosedaleaustin.org/the-rna/by-laws/by-laws-current-version/#article-xii).

The amended bylaws are now open for review and comment by all residents and real property owners in the Rosedale neighborhood. The process requires a period of three RNA meetings, either regular monthly meetings or the annual meeting.

The first meeting in the sequence was the one on Tuesday, November 13. At this meeting, the proposed changes were introduced. This post makes the amended bylaws and motivation documents (both PDF) available via the RNA website. We will distribute a notice to subscribers of the RNA mailing list and are placing a paper copy at Yarborough library. A paper newsletter in early December will further share information about the bylaws updates and process and will also announce the annual meeting.

The second meeting in the sequence will be the annual meeting on December 18. At this meeting, the proposed changes will be open for discussion. At this meeting, we will summarize any discussion that has appeared on the electronic mailing list.

The third meeting in the sequence will take place on February 5, 2019. At that time, we will hear final comments and take a vote from RNA members in attendance.

Proposed bylaws: RNA-by-laws-proposed-20181108

May 8th Neighborhood Happy Hour

Hello Rosedalians,

I wanted to plan a fun Happy Hour for our neighborhood and reached out to our newest Rosedale restaurant to see if they would be interested in partnering up to host it. The Guild, https://guildaustin.com/, has not only cheerfully agreed, but will run drink specials for us and offer a few appetizers for us to try (first come, first serve). How nice, right?!?

I am curious and excited to check them out and I bet you are too! So, spread the word and mark your calendars- May 8th from 5:00-6:30 PM (3800 N Lamar Blvd Suite 170, Austin, TX 78756). I look forward to seeing you all there for a relaxed evening of socializing among friends, both old and new.

P.S. If you are thinking you may stay for dinner after, you may want to make a reservation.

Rosedale Neighborhood Association Meeting Monday, 1/22/18, at Café Express

The Rosedale Neighborhood Association will hold its regular monthly meeting on Monday evening, January 22, 2018, at 7 pm. The Yarborough Library is not available for meetings this year as it undergoes renovations. This Monday’s meeting will convene at Café Express on Lamar/Medical Parkway. (We are in the process of considering other suitable locations for the next year).

This month’s agenda will include:

  1. A presentation on behalf of the owners of the property containing the house at 3904 Medical Parkway regarding the redevelopment of the site, currently zoned residential. The developer wants the RNA to consider other uses of the property that would require a zoning change.
  2. A discussion of the potential effects on air quality presented by the planned Rudy’s BBQ restaurant at the old 2J’s/EZ’s site on Lamar.
  3. Discussion of possible changes to RNA’s bylaws and meeting schedule, including frequency and location of meetings.
  4. Any available updates regarding CodeNext, the Grove, and the city’s development of a bond package that could affect parks and pools.

We welcome discussion of anything else you are interested in bringing up… surprise us!

Hope to see you there!
