COMMITTEES:

Roads and Drainage - Chris Rogers spoke to Libby Mills, Calvert County Zoning Enforcement, about the unkempt property on Avenue D. Mrs. Mills said that the zoning commission can do nothing about the physical condition of the building. Regarding the property, the County will contact the owner if the grass/weeds are over 12 inches high. There are no County regulations regarding the maintenance of trees and/or bushes. Anything growing or hanging over onto neighboring properties may be cut down by neighboring owners.

Community Watch - Charlie Bauerdorf reported on several items discussed at the recent community watch meeting. Residents should beware of internet scams (e.g., fake lotteries, credit cards, banking offers). Another hot crime is the theft of GPS's from cars. Even if the GPS is put away, thieves watch for wires and/or the suction cup marks on the windshield. Purse snatchings are also way up, frequently taking place in grocery stores and from women walking in parking lots. These crimes are more prevalent in the northern part of the county. The next meeting will be in January.

Boat Ramp Keys - The board voted that a sign should be posted at the boat ramp showing the name and phone number of the towing company. The towing company will be asked if they are able to put up the sign and they will be given a key to the boat ramp. CBCA will inform the Calvert County Sherriff's office about this procedure as a point of information.

Beach Erosion - Nothing new was reported.

OLD BUSINESS:

Fall Newsletter - Terrye Zaremba reported the the Fall newsletter was mailed out and, when asked, all in attendance had received one. Dale Middleton also reported that CBCA is getting a good response in terms of updated dues payments.

Signs for Parking Lot - Jim Powell reported that the new signs will be posted before the locks/keys are changed.

CBCA Sponsored Treasure Hunt - Terrye asked the board and community members to think of some additional activities for the upcoming spring Family day & treasure hunt to be discussed at the next meeting. She also asked if anyone could supply horseshoes and/or frisbees for adults. For children, Chris Bauerdorf volunteered to run the Treasure Hunt.

Security Reports - No update, pending Charlie Anderson's next report.

NEW BUSINESS;

Steve Krembs - With sadness, Terrye noted the recent passing of Steve Krembs, former CBCA President. On behalf of the CBCA, the board approved a contribution of $50.00 in Steve's memory to the church he attended. A sympathy card is also being sent to the family from the CBCA.

New Website Domain - All issues concerning the CBCA website have been resolved.

Meeting Day - The date/time/place of upcoming meetings are posted on the Community Bulletin Board. The board voted to change the sign to read "community" meeting instead of "board" meeting to make it clear that all Calvert Beach residents are welcome to attend. The board also voted to hold CBCA Community meetings on the third Saturday of each month.

NEXT MEETING: January 17, 2009 at 10:30 AM at the LBCA Community Center.
