Old Business - Sidewalks - Letters were sent to all homeowners with options regarding the sidewalks. Julie reported there were 343 homeowners sent letters but that she only received thirty eight (38) responses. Twenty (20) of those responses were for #4 which stated change the documents to make the sidewalk replacement the homeowners responsibility. The Board and residents present had an open discussion regarding the issue of sidewalks in the community. Subjects discussed were options, costs, insurance, etc. There was a comment made from a resident stating the options should be narrowed down to two in order to achieve the required quorum to change the association documents. There was a suggestion made that if someone were to go door to door than maybe we could get enough of a response to achieve quorum. It could also be posted on the website and a fax number could also be included to respond to. Matt stated that if the sidewalk costs were made the same as the single family he believed that the cost of townhouses versus single-family homes should be the same across the board for the cost of all things in the community. Matt asked Julie to provide him with a copy of the reserve study so he could review. Gene stated this should be tabled for a future meeting until a new draft could be typed.

City Park - Julie stated she spoke to Roelke Myers of the Parks and Recreation for the City of Frederick and he stated there will be a meeting on September 18, 2002 at 7:00 p.m. at the Recreation Center on Bentz Street to review any homeowner's desires for the city parks. Homeowners should attend to voice their desires for the park. This should be placed in the next newsletter.

New Business (continued) -- Storm Water Management Pond - Gene stated he met with Jim MacGillivray of Ausherman to review the pond before it was turned over to the association. Gene said there are ground hogs present and once they are removed and the pond is cleaned up it will be reviewed again. The pond will have a split rail fence installed around it with wire on the inside. There needs to be an article placed in the newsletter educating residents that any trash that is placed in the community drains will flow into the pond. The Board asked Julie to obtain a proposal from Daydream Landscaping to maintain the pond.

There was a question regarding the final paving of Harpers Way. There was a statement about metal uncapped holes in the asphalt on Harpers Way and this is unsafe. Julie will check with Ausherman.

The resident of 1974 Harpers Court stated there are wires in his front yard that were never removed. His home is the former model and the wires were installed to accommodate a spotlight.

Committee Reports -Architectural Committee - Lisa Crawson will provide Julie with the walk through list and Julie will send any letters necessary.

Social Committee - The community Yard Sale was successful. There was no money collected from the participants as there was in the past.

Open Forum - A resident present stated the lifeguards are not sitting in the lifeguard chairs and not making residents sign-in. It was also stated the lifeguards on often on their cell phones. Gene stated he and Julie meet with the pool manager weekly and will address those concerns.
