Treasurer’s Report: $60,526.00

New Business

Richard congratulated Sharon on being the treasurer for 30 years.

Richard suggested that we should have a neighborhood newsletter and asked if Kelly will take the job. She said yes. The newsletter will be distributed in each resident’s mailbox.

Richard brought up the subject of the trash. Sharon and Richard walk around the neighborhood on trash pickup mornings and have noticed recently that more bags are being ripped up by animals. Also, people are putting out large tree limbs that are not part of our trash pickup.

Dominion Enery installed new smart meters at 20 houses. This is part of a neighborhood wide upgrade. Linda spoke to one of the contractors working on the box behind her house and he told her the box was a hazard and he could only remove some of the meters to replace. The box was too unstable and too dangerous to remove the rest. Richard saw him working on a box on his block and he said the same thing.

Linda called Dominion and asked them to replace the boxes that house the meters. She was told that it is up to the HOA to replace them. The boxes were originally installed by Dominion in 1972 and are over 50 years old. Linda called the State Corporation Commission to ask them, but they said to call Fairfax County. Linda also called Andres.

Jiminez’ office for clarification but has not received a response yet.

Juanita suggested we call Dave Marsden and Vivien Watts to see what they suggest. Linda will call.

A motion was made to hire a man that lives in the neighborhood to paint the curbs. The cost will be $1700 plus paint. A vote was taken 3 yes, 1 no, 1 abstain. The motion was passed.

There is one house in the neighborhood that is appearing run down. A letter will be sent to that owner to make the necessary repairs.

The annual community meeting will be Wednesday June 26th or Thursday June 27th.

The meeting was adjourned at 8:10 p.m.
