Ten BPMA members were present at tonights meeting. We had guest speakers Beth Schmidt and Chad Lee. Both individuals are running for political offices. Beth Schmidt is running for the 45th Assembly and Chad Lee is the republican candidate running for Congress in the 2nd district. We enjoyed their presentations and if you missed tonights meeting, you missed a lot. It turns out Chad Lee is also a landlord!

Following tonights guest speakers, more local matters were discussed. The city council approved a chicken ordinance that BPMA was against. If you are a landlord, your tenant may obtain up to 4 female chickens but they must follow specific guidelines. There are rules for housing them, minimum lot sizes, and an application for a permit with the city. From what I understand, permits may be issued if the tenant has a notarized sighned permission slip from the landlord. More details to come.

President G Fields gave the floor to guests Terry Downing and Steve Givhan, city code enforcement officials. Question and answer session followed; this was an opportunity for you to get your questions answered.

Another topic of interest was brought up. The issue of bed bugs is becoming a nation-wide issue. There are some informative videos on you-tube. Solutions to ridding bedbugs include a professional exterminator. Other ideas floated around include mattress bags and insecticides specifically aimed at bedbugs.

A committee is necessary to develop a new BPMA brochure.
