Association members are encouraged to submit recommended contractors to build the data base for this portion of the web page.

Sue Berne reported locations of trail erosion due to runoff. Board members agreed to continue current method of incremental repair, using help from the Boy Scouts as a resource to shore up weakened trail areas.

Steve Gilbert reported

Letters were sent to homeowners requesting removal of certain street parked commercial and recreational vehicles that were subjects of homeowner complaints. Steve emphasized that these letters were sent only after he received numerous complaints. Our primary goal is to promote a sense of community, not to police one another unnecessarily.

Residents should ensure that street parked vehicles face "the right way" when parked. Some neighborhood vehicles wre recently ticketed by Fairfax County Police for cars parked the wrong way.

Mike Yurina submitted a revised estimate for entrance sign and common grounds maintenance, which includes ornamental planting and grass reseeding where required. Board members stipulated that reseeding and planting services must include manual watering to sustain plants in the event of summer drought. The Board authorized expenditure in the amount of the estimate, which was in agreement with the LFCA approved budget.

Downed trees should be reported to the Board to ensure timely removal by a contractor.

Dues collection is complete for 187 of 279 homes. Four disclosure packets were issued pursuant to recent home sales.

Steve proposed the need to consider by-law revision to bring the up to date. The by-laws, now twenty years old, contain obsolete information, and Board members agreed to consider this topic in the future.

Incidents of vandalism (egging) on Bertito Lane and Fishermans Lane were reported. Residents should be sure to report all vandalism incidents to police.

A community-wide yard sale is scheduled for April 15.

Delegate Dillard offered to attend the next LFCA General Meeting to discuss community topics. He will provide confirmation of his plans in April. The General Meeting is planned for 8 June; the alternate date is 15 June.

The meeting adjourned at 8:20 pm.

Minutes respectfully submitted by Mike Yurina
