TREASURER'S

July 1, 2009 cash = $ 12,781.70
Income = $

Expenses = $
1,049.20
Current Balance = $ 11,933.60
Mr.
Anderson has opened a money market account for the CBCA so that funds on hand
can accrue interest. P
Pat Mcknett asked if plans were in place for the insurance bill
to come in November and Mr. Anderson replied in
the affirmative. He also mentioned that
the cost of trash service will be higher than anticipated due to a price
increase.
COMMITTEES:
Roads
& Drainage - Nothing
new reported.
Community
Watch - Nothing new reported. (See
"Security" below.)
Boat
Ramp Keys - Mr. Anderson said that the lock at the boat ramp was changed
today. The old keys no longer
work. Only 22 new keys have been
given out as of this date. One key was
given to the fire department because it
provides them access to the Bay.
The towing company asked for a key.
The board discussed the feasibility of this.
It was
decided that Mr. Anderson would speak with the company and ask if they will put
a "first warning" type notice
on the cars and take down the offender's license tag number. These cars would then be towed upon a second
violation. Violations occur if
the vehicle is not displaying a CBCA parking permit in the windshield.
Beach
Erosion - Nothing new was reported.
Security
- Mr. Anderson
noted that he has been sending the security reports (from the off-duty
officers) to the
Board members. There was a general
discussion of recent problems in the area and general dissatisfaction with the
response of County police was expressed. Mr. Savage said that he has yet to receive
follow-up on the attempted
break-in of his house. Terrye
Zaremba (CBCA President) has not had follow-up on the concerns she voiced at
the
previous CBCA Board meeting, which was attended by police
representatives. Mr. and Mrs. Santana,
attending
this evening's meeting, were refused a case number by the officer who came
to their home to investigate vandalism
of their mailbox. The Board will
revisit these issues at upcoming meetings.
OLD
BUSINESS:
Letters
to Delinquent Dues Payers - While the Board discussed this issue, no decision was
reached. During the discussion,
Mr. Doug
Crow offered to develop a "Mission Statement" for the CBCA and seek
input from the Board members. The goal
is to have
such a statement prepared in time for inclusion in the November
Newsletter. The genesis of this idea is
that the Board wants to
develop in the community a greater understanding of the purpose of
and services provided by the CBCA and, thus, potentially
spur dues payments by those who have not contributed. This topic was tabled for further discussion.
Website Update - Mr. Walker asked Mr. Anderson to
resend to him the proposed changes Mr. Anderson has for the website.
NEW
BUSINESS:
Feedback
from July 20 Meeting with Calvert Police - No one could report any feedbck
from the police on the issues raised
at the last meeting.
PEPCO
Proposal - Mr.
Anderson attended a recent meeting at which a PEPCO representative discussed a
plan to run power
lines under the Bay to the
"out of the running" as a potential access site for
PEPCO.
Training
for Neighborhood Watch - It was decided to table discussion of this issue until the next meeting.
Other
Issues - Chris Rogers said that she sent a
"get well" card to President Terrye Zaremba on behalf of the CBCA.
The
meeting adjoured at 8:05 PM
