Old Business – Entrance Lights – The Board reviewed a proposal from Dixie to have lights installed to illuminate the entrance sign into the community. The proposal was for $5,850.00 and the Board denied the proposal.

Open Forum – Dan Plombon and Dean Kirschling was present to discuss their concern about offering outside membership to the community pool. They stated although other residents were not present, many neighbors were also concerned. The concern was too many people at the pool and the North Crossing residents being crowded. Gene motioned to table this discussion. Angie and Nick second. Eric abstained. Gene asked Dan to poll the neighborhood and to obtain 175 signatures by March 31, 2003.

New Business – Gene motioned to spend up to $300.00 on new plantings for the community’s entrance beds. Eric second. All in favor.

Pool Management Company – U.S Aquatics who managed the pool during the 2002 season, contacted Julie to say although the community does not wish to use their services this year the community is obligated because the contract had an automatic renewal clause and did not receive a written cancellation in October 2002. Julie contacted U.S. Aquatics to ask what amount would they accept as a buy out if the Board were adamant about not using their services. They told Julie it would be 25% of the contract price, which would be $6, 937.50. Eric motioned to have Clagett Management pay the 25% since the cancellation was not sent to them. Nick and Gene second. Angie abstained.

Pool furniture – Gene stated the community needs to purchase additional furniture for the pool and motioned to spend up to $3,000.00. Eric and Angie second. Nick opposed. Gene will do inventory of the current furniture before purchasing any new furniture.

Community Easter Egg Hunt – Angie stated she has been trying to obtain donations from area business’ to offset the costs. The Board previously approved up to $175.00 but Angie stated she would probably not need that much money. The remainder of the Board thanked Angie for her work and effort.

Movies - Gene will work with Eric on installing a structure to accommodate a screen to show movies in the community.

Snow Removal – It was stated that Daydream cleared the sidewalks on Christopher Crossing, which is not an association responsibility. The Board asked Julie to watch for the invoice and bring to the Board’s attention.
