Minutes for the Lake Forest Community Association

Board Meeting

February 19, 2004

The Lake Forest Community Association Board of Directors met at Bev’s home at 7:30 p.m. on February 19, 2004.

Bev called the meeting to order at 7:35 p.m. In attendance were Bev Franklin, Wes Cox, Jim Evans, Bill Ethington, Dave Wilson, Harry Hopkins and Evelyn Hempstead. Steve Gilbert and Gloria Flick were absent.

The minutes of the January General Meeting were reviewed and approved.

Bill suggested that VDOT be called about the deep drainage ditch at the intersection of Cervantes and Maritime. Bev will call VDOT to inquire about this, along with asking about the installation of speed limit and Children at Play signs for the community.

Evelyn reported that the sign by Maritime Lane has a large crack running the length of the sign. She will inspect the condition of the other two signs and then report the problem to our sign maker.

Dominion Power has been out to the community to repair all the streetlights that were not working. Jim did not need to survey the community.

Jim still needs to write a letter to Mr. Blankenship about his non-conforming backyard fence. Now that the spring weather is upon us, he has no excuses to postpone correction of this discrepancy.

Harry reports that all the dues notices have been mailed. Responses are now coming in.

Dave suggested a speed bump be placed on Maritime Lane between Cervantes and the fire station. A preliminary step might be to have the police place a speed monitor on Maritime first. Dave will call Sally Tomlin to inquire about the process used to do this.

Wes reports that 99 dues payments have been received so far. He expects to be prepared to discuss reserves next month. He suggests we include maintenance of the masonry for the signs as a reserve item.

Next meeting: Thurs 11 Mar 7:30 pm at Bev’s. We expect to discuss at the March meeting the topics of Reserves, placement of the 3^rd announcement sign, finishing off the entrance at Cervantes, fixing the sign at Maritime, and the Blankenship letter.

The meeting adjourned at 8:10 p.m.
