Tuesday, August 26, 2003 - Board Meeting Minutes

Called to order at 7:37 PM. The minutes from the July 22 meeting were approved.

Treasurer’s Report: Printed on the back of the minutes. Income from the collection of six dues payments was reported. As of the meeting, dues remained outstanding from five homeowners. Sincere thanks to Daniel for his continued efforts to ensure that all dues are collected. Expenses mainly related to two lawn cuttings, the purchase of mailbox paint and the painting of the entrance sign were also reported.

Homeowner Comments:

• A homeowner living on top of the hill (on the left side of Stoney Creek Drive when you first enter MCS) has experienced inadequate water pressure, an occasional total lack of water as well as sediment in the water. Albemarle County Service Authority is aware of this issue and is presently taking pressure measurements through MCS. In an effort to better determine the breadth of this problem within MCS, all homeowners experiencing similar water related issues are asked to contact Christina Cavaliere (rccavalieres@yahoo.com or 923-0366).

• A homeowner expressed concern with standing water and inadequate drainage issues related to a neighboring property. Further information is needed to determine the source of the problem and whether or not it is a health department and/or VDOT concern.

• A homeowner expressed concern regarding the maintenance/appearance of a neighboring yard. The Board will investigate the concern and further discuss possible courses of action at the next Board meeting.
