Tonight we had guest speaker Matt Roegner give members a one hour presentation on a Referendum coming for a vote April 3, 2012. The Referendum is meant to allow the school district of Beloit new funds for several school improvements totaling around 70 million dollars. Real estate taxes meanwhile would only slightly nudge higher. A great part of the funds would be supplied by the state. Most of the schools in the Beloit area would receive structural improvements, remodifications and/or additions. For example, a new pool at the Memorial High. More detailed information is available here: Beloit School.
May 8 is the date Sheila DeForest will be available for a brainstorming session where bright ideas can be exchanged. New ideas include giving landlords a rental permit discount should they be members of BPMA -- I like that idea.
Leaflan now charges residents for yard waste. A member mentioned that Bedrock off townline accepts all yard waste and currently at no charge.
Next month we should know more about having a meeting at a Marling Lumber facility. There was mention they would host BPMA with food and a tour of their facility.
All landlords are welcomed to attend our next meeting, April 17, 2012, 7PM.
