keep all of the rain gutters clear of debris from tree droppings. Brodie is to pursue a contract to have the
gutters inspected and cleaned on a recurrent basis. Inspection and cleaning of the 300/800/1200
roofs should be included in the contract.

ARCHITECTURE
COMMITTEE:
Randy
Old is putting together a list of approved exterior paint colors.
FITNESS
CLUB:
The
drain at the base of the outside steps leading to the fitness club is not
draining properly. Brodie will include
the maintenance of this drain in the gutter cleaning project.
GROUNDS:
Brickman
is to provide a tree crew to “limb up” smaller trees throughout the
grounds. The project will take a half
day at a cost of $750.
The
Board approved Brickman’s bid of $785 to seed and curlex the area behind
900/1000/1100 left bare from the “big dig.”
The Board tabled a proposal from Brickman to apply 16 cubic yards of
topsoil throughout the grounds at a cost of $1,424.
The
annual tax bill has been paid for the marina.
PET COMMITTEE:
No report.
POOL:
The
pool will be open weekends only after Labor Day on a week to week basis.
SECURITY/PARKING:
Dennis
Seymour and Rusty Bergen reported the findings of the ad hoc study of security
and trespassing issues. Their study
concluded that most intrusion occurrences also involve unauthorized
parking. They proposed that additional
signs be placed strategically in each of the parking lots. The signs would contain the necessary
language so as to authorize the towing of vehicles in violation of parking
rules. They also recommended that a
relationship be established with a local towing firm. The Board approved a motion to proceed as
proposed.
The
Board took notice that there has been an increase in “No Parking” areas on
SEWER:
A
representative of the Maryland Department of the Environment will meet with the
Board and with our treatment plant operator to inspect the condition of the
plant.

Ray
reported that overall we are slightly under the operating budget. The only serious variances involve sewage
treatment plant maintenance and supplies, as well as inspection and maintenance
of the collection system. One unit is in
arrears and this account has been referred to the community attorney for
collection procedures.

Dennis
Seymour reported that four replacement benches have been ordered and paid for
in full.

Ray
announced that the 2006 budget process is underway. Brodie is to prepare a draft budget and
submit the same to Ray.
The
Board voted to approve renewal of the management contract with Brodie
