North Crossing Community Association

Board Meeting

August 22, 2001



Present: Board members - Lynn Jones, Mike Campbell Jr., & Mike Foster. Julie Lancaster from Management.

Called to order at 7:50.

The meeting began with an open discussion regarding the recent problems at the pool. The Board commented that there are only 11 days remaining in the pool season and that next year the responsibility of the pool management company and the pool rules need to be very clear and enforced.

Approval of Minutes - Three corrections to minutes. Financial approval should state there “are” four accounts delinquent as opposed to there “is” and trash was misspelled as thrash. Also in paragraph relating to the fence at 197 Midsummer it should state “Ausherman” and not the “previous Board”. Lynn motioned to approve. Mike foster second. All in favor.

Approval of Financials - Lynn motioned to approve. Mike Campbell second. All in favor. Let Chuck know when C.D. becomes due in October. Also be sure that the Association receives a check from Century from an invoice that was paid twice.

Old Business - Reserve Study - Lynn motioned to pay retainer to attorney of $1,500.00 who is to review the Association documents for Sidewalk responsibility. Mike Campbell second. All in favor. Provide the attorney with Jim MacGillivray’s e-mail.

Tree Replacement - Julie provided a list of dead trees in the community to the Board. Julie will obtain a proposal from Daydream to replace the trees. Any trees planted in the newer sections of the community should still be under warranty and Ausherman should have replaced.

Path to Tot Lot - The area beside of 150 Harpers Way leads to the Tot Lot and gets very muddy when it rains. The community site plan that Julie has does not show the exact footage of common ground in that area. In order to consider installing some sort of path the distance needs to be confirmed. Julie should contact Ausherman for a more detailed site plan.

Fence at 197 Midsummer Drive - The Board informed the homeowners that if a letter was produced from the Developers, Ausherman, stating the privacy fence was okay to be installed they would then allow it. Jim MacGillivray of Ausherman denied their request for a letter and the homeowners are contacting Barry Weller of Ausherman. Lynn will call the homeowners to check on the status.

New Business - Julie provided the Board with two proposals for insurance due to the fact the current insurance company, Nationwide, had a large increase in the premium. The Board reviewed the proposals and Lynn motioned to remain with Nationwide. Mike Foster second. All in favor.

Committee Reports - Social Committee - Kids Day was successful. Julie told the Board a resident called stating she was concerned that no lifeguards were in their chairs on Kid’s Day.

Architectural - Susan Tiedy-Stevenson stated the architectural committee allowed a variance to a fence installed at 1924 Timber Grove Road due to the manner his neighbors fence was installed.

Mike Campbell Jr. verbally resigned from the Board. He will follow with a written resignation. Lynn motioned and Mike Foster second for Gene Fitgibbons to serve out the remainder of Mikes term.

Next Meeting - September 26, 2001, Frederick Gas Company, 7:30 p.m.

Meeting Adjourned at 9:25.
