attend the upcoming Watch meetings on behalf of the CBCA.
Boat
Ramp Keys - Nothing
new was reported.
Beach
Erosion - Chris
Savage checked on the erosion following the recent coastal storm and observed
that quite a bit had taken place. Part
of the cliff near the Ave. D
stairs came down. A great
deal of vegitation was washed out. In a related topic, Doug Crow noted that Mr.
Dale Middleton completed the work of staining the Ave D stairs to the
beach. Mr. Crow power washed the stairs. Mrs. Zaremba thanked them both on behalf of
the CBCA.
OLD
BUSINESS:
Picnic
Tables - Mrs. Zaremba noted that the picnic tables at the boat
ramp survived the coastal storm. Mr.
Anderson reported that he has purchased the materials required to secure the tables to the ground.
Letter
to Non-dues Paying Payers -
Mr. Crow drafted a letter to be sent
to community members who have not yet paid their annual association dues. After discussion and a few suggestions, the
board voted to approve the letter.
Towing
by A-1 - As decided during last month's CBCA meeting, Mr.
Anderson reported that he sent a letter to A-1 towing company restating the
terms of our agreement regarding towing policy at the boat ramp. Mr. Anderson also has ordered a sign for the
boat ramp gate, stating that parking is by permit only.
Eyesore
Enforcement - Mr.
Crow drafted a proposed letter from the CBCA board to homeowners whose property
has been observed to be unsightly for various reasons. Mr. Crow requested that board members email
their comments on the letter to him. He also asked that comments include ideas
for a follow up policy once a letter has been sent to a homeowner. Mr. Crow noted an eyesore (water tank) just
off of
Children’s
Crusade - Mr.
Anderson attended the Calvert Crusade for Children on October 20, 2009. He said there were approximately 100
participants and the event was quite successful.
NEW
BUSINESS:
Osprey
Platform - Pat
McKnett reported that she had no response from her attempts to contact local
Boy Scout organizations regarding obtaining their help in constructing an
Osprey platform. However, she learned
that SMECO will provide the materials and install a platform, free of
charge. But, SMECO has restrictions
which prevent them from constructing the platform in the water. Since a water
location is preferable to the beach, Mrs. McKnett will check with SMECO to see
if they will provide just the platform.
If so, ideas are welcome as to who might be able to perform the
installation.
Newsletter
- Mrs. Zaremba presented her draft of the Fall Newsletter
for review. She asked that board members
email their comments to her as soon as possible.
Other
Issues:
Mr. Crow
asked for clarification of the protocol regarding appropriate email addressees
for documents sent to board members for comments and for general discussion of
board business. This subject was tabled
for a future meeting.
Mr.
Anderson noted the payment of $29.94 for CBCA website maintenance.
