We have a new captain at the 111th Pricinct. His name is Jason Huerta. He was formerty the X.O. of the 110th. Ronald Leyson was promoted to inspector. Captain Huerta will be invited to attend the May 21, 2012 meeting of the Association.

The Association lodged a complaint with the City regarding two commercial trucks parked in the driveway at 254-17 4oth Avenue. [That complaint was submitted via the City's 3-1-1 system, and it appears from the City Buildings Department database that a violation notice was issued. However, the trucks are still routinely parked there two months later.]

A member complained about a black Volvo car parked for an extended period of time (since at least November) on Glenwood near 39th Avenue. Mr. Mimoni made a note of it and said he would report it to Councilman Halloran.

David Rubinton, who lives at 13 Nassau Road, gave a presentation to the membership about the installation of solar panels on the roof of his house. The panels have been in service for about six years. Mr. Rubinton explained the financials and the procedure to find out if one's house qualifies for the cost saving program. He passed out copies of his contract with the solar company, and encouraged us to make inquiries. He said that there are even more favorable (no up-front cost) terms that are available now.

Our next meeting -- the last of the 2011-2012 season-- will be held on May 21, 2012.

The meeting was adjourned at 9:10 PM.

Respectfully submitted

Charles Manna, Secretary
