The Broad Ripple Village Association (BRVA) annual meeting and election was held at St. Paul's Episcopal Church on October 16th, 2018. There were approximately 100 in attendance. BRVA President Joshua John started the meeting with a year in review, highlighting the accomplishments of the neighborhood association since the last annual meeting. Next, Kent Springer explained some changes that have been made. This year, a BRVA committee chose five candidates from the larger group that vied for the five open board positions. The member election ballot lists that slate of candidates with a choice to approve or not that slate of five. Kent stated that this streamlining of the board election process was requested by both members and past candidates. Another change was to extend the one year officer terms to two years.

Then, IMPD and IndyGo spoke. There were many questions about police beats, crime stats and the Red Line construction (indygored.com). Sydney Johnson described the on-going White River Master Plan process and announced upcoming meetings. Details at mywhiteriver.com

Attendees submitted their ballots after the meeting. The slate of new board members was David Amstutz, Jerry Harbin, Garrett Lawton, Andy Skinner, and Karen Valiquett.
