Chantilly Highlands Homes Association Board Meeting Minutes Thursday, July 9, 2009 Submitted by Mike Laverdure

Minutes are tentative and will be reviewed and approved at the next Board Meeting, scheduled for Thursday, August 6, 2009.

The meeting was called to order at 7:47 P.M. on Thurs-day, July 9, 2009.

Members of the Board present were Michelle Doucette, David Howlett, Brian Keagy, Mike Laverdure, Larry Miller, Imrana Umar, and Greg Zilberfarb.

The June 4, 2009 Board Minutes are amended to read: Those in attendance included three members of the com-

munity and two members of the Architectural Control Committee (ACC). The residents discussed their dis-pute regarding the size and placement of a play struc-ture. The neighbors were encouraged to come to am amicable agreement with respect to the complaint by that the play structure creates a visual nuisance. The homeowner with the play structure has offered to apply for approval from the ACC and relocate the structure within his yard.

Treasurer’s Report: The Board voted to disapprove a real estate agent request for a refund of Chantilly High-lands Home Association (CHHA) Dues unless these funds are subsequently paid by the mortgage banker.

The Board voted to approve the write-off of CHHA Dues deemed unrecoverable relative to two properties in foreclosure.

The Board voted to approve the roll-over of an unpaid late fee associated with the 2009 HOA Dues.

Community Facilities Report: Nothing to report at this time.

Long Range Planning: The CHHA DRAFT Reserve Study has been received from Facility Engineering As-sociates, P.C. (FEA). The Board will review the report and provide comments back to FEA for the final report following the August 6, 2009, Board Meeting.

Architectural Control: The Architectural Control Com-mittee (ACC) continues to work with two homeowners relative to a play structure dispute.

The Board will prepare and send a letter to a homeowner relative to long standing numerous violations of CHHA rules, regulations and ACC Guidelines. Fairfax County continues to pursue criminal and civil action against this homeowner who faces numerous charges of build-ing and zoning violations.

Newsletter, Database & Website: The CHHA Home-owners Directory has been sent to the printer.

Neighborhood Watch: The Board discussed recent alle-gations by a homeowner of rock throwing and verbal

harassment. The homeowner has been informed that Fairfax County Police Department should be notified of any future occurrences.

It was also reported that there were some fireworks issues associated with July 4th celebrations that led to open fire to which the police responded.

Community Events, Land Management & Civic Af-fairs: Numerous upcoming CHHA events were dis-cussed. A list of these events will be published in the community newsletter.

The Community is seeking volunteers to assist with the Community Day, scheduled for September 19, 2009 from 3:00 – 6:00 PM. Please email the Board if inter-ested in helping.

With no additional business to discuss, the meeting was adjourned at 8:56 P.M.

2-1-1 Connects You to Local Services

Loose your job? Need a ramp for your home? Mom was just diagnosed with Alzheimer’s? Don’t know how you’ll pay that bill? Dial 2-1-1 to get connected to local services to assist you and your family with today’s most pressing issues or problems. 2-1-1 was created to help connect people to the services they need the first time, every time. 2-1-1 is available, statewide, in Virginia, Maryland, and the Dis-trict of Columbia. In fact, nearly 80% of the United States population can access 2-1-1 for assistance today, and it is projected to be completely nationwide by 2010. This three digit dialing code is available 24/7 to residents throughout the Commonwealth of Virginia. When a resi-dent dials 2-1-1, they are connected to a trained Commu-nity Resource Specialist who will assess his/her needs and provide information and referrals to appropriate com-munity-based organizations and government agencies. 2-1-1 VIRGINIA was launched in Northern Virginia in February 2008. CrisisLink is the 2-1-1 VIRGINIA pro-vider in Northern Virginia, connecting area residents to more than 4,400 social service programs run by nonprof-its, governments, and other organizations throughout the region.

The Call Center Director for 2-1-1 Virginia Northern Region is Ms. Jamie Carter. “You use 9-1-1 if your house is on fire, but you dial 2-1-1 after the fire to find re-sources to get you back on your feet,” says Carter. As Virginia residents continue to face financial pressures, job loss, health care issues, and increased mental health con-cerns, 2-1-1 VIRGINIA is a vital resource for individuals. 2-1-1 VIRIGNIA is free, available 24/7, and can provide assistance in over 200 languages.

To reach 2-1-1 Virginia, simply dial 2-1-1, or you may also dial 1-800-230-6977 in Virginia, or 703-752-5254 if you have an area code outside of Virginia. For TTY ac-cess, Virginians can dial 7-1-1. You can also access the 2-1-1 database via the internet at www.211virginia.org.

VolunteerSpot Helps Non-Profits for Free

Our Story Karen Bantuveris, a management consultant work-

ing-mom, became a Girl Scout leader and PTA board member once her daughter entered school. Shocked at all the ‘little things’ that made volunteering a hassle, and fueled by frustration with reply-all emails, clip-boards, Online! Groups, and late night reminder mes-sages…she decided to do something about it.

VolunteerSpot launched in 2008 with the mission of enabling ANYONE to quickly mobilize and coordinate volunteers in their community, congregation and social network. VolunteerSpot’s simple sign up application makes it easy for community members to participate and say YES to volunteering. No waiting for approvals and passwords, no software to install, just easy, free scheduling and sign up tools for everyday heroes mak-ing a difference.

Make your next activity easier than ever before. Try VolunteerSpot today at www.volunteerspot.com!

VolunteerSpot Philosophy At VolunteerSpot, we believe that volunteers should

be rewarded for stepping forward and sharing their time and talents with those in need. All too often, vol-unteering means putting up with a certain amount of hassle or frustration – whether that is late night emails, reply-all messages, reminder phone calls, or searching for a parking space. Our sponsors enable us to provide FREE tools that simplify volunteering powering your good work in schools and clubs, in your congregation and neighborhoods. We can’t find you a parking place, but with VolunteerSpot, DOING GOOD just got eas-ier!

How Does VolunteerSpot Work? There are three simple steps. The leader creates a

schedule of volunteer needs on our online calendar and invites people to sign up with an e-mail. Volunteers

click a link to see what spots are available and choose when and how they want to help. VolunteerSpot sends automated confirmation and reminder messages, helping everyone keep their commitments. Since it happens in real-time, the schedule is always current, and we've sig-nificantly reduced coordination time and made the proc-ess easier for everyone.

Dear Neighbor, I now have two 11th Congressional District Offices open and

ready to serve you. The Fairfax office is located in the heart of Annandale and the newly-opened office in Prince William is located right off Prince William Parkway in Woodbridge.

Since I took office in January, thousands of your neighbors have written, emailed, or called my District Offices to seek help with handling matters dealing with the federal agencies. We have had great success in solving problems for many 11th Dis-trict constituents, some of whom came to us as a last resort after being unable to solve the matters on their own.

We have succeeded in helping constituents with a variety of matters involving Social Security benefits, ranging from cor-recting errors in their monthly payments to helping a disabled adult receive the benefit she deserved under the law. Similarly, we have been successful in helping retired federal employees work with the Office of Personnel Management to fix miscalcu-lations that had resulted in reduced pension payments. A num-ber of our cases have involved helping military personnel re-turning from Iraq and Afghanistan and retired military with a variety of matters, including issues concerning the Veterans Administration.

Please don't hesitate to contact or visit my two Northern Vir-ginia offices. The District Office staff is committed to providing you with effective and responsive service in help-ing you resolve matters, large and small, involving the federal government and its various agencies. A quick call to the staff can save you hours of time and frustration in navigating the inner-workings of federal agencies.

Thousands of Northern Virginians already have reached out to the 11th Congressional District Offices for help, so don't hesitate to call or email if you need some assistance.

Of course, if you are going to be on Capitol Hill, I hope you will take the time to visit my office in the Cannon House Office Building.

Communicating with constituents through email saves tax-payer dollars and helps the environment. I hope you will con-sider signing up for the email newsletter at connolly.house.gov to subscribe and receive periodic emails on legislation and spe-cific issues of interest to you.

Most importantly, my door is always open to you and I hope you will take advantage of the services my offices can provide to you.

Best regards, Gerald E. Connolly

Smart Summer Watering Avoid excessive watering. Most lawns need only an inch of water per week to stay healthy. Measure the amount of time it takes your sprinkler to deliver that much water, and do not exceed the total time for the week. A shallow con-tainer, such as a tuna can, can be used to measure the water. Use short cycles (5 minutes) at least an hour apart to reduce runoff.

Set sprinklers carefully to avoid watering paved areas. Avoid sprinklers that spray a fine mist, which increases evaporation. Aerate the soil in the spring and fall to re-duce runoff. Keep the grass 2-3” long to enhance root development with minimal watering. For more informa-tion, visit www.fairfaxwater.org.

Minimize evaporation by watering during the early morn-ing hours, when temperatures are cooler and winds are lighter.

For more information and other water-saving tips, visit www.wateruseitwisely.com.

BE FOOD SAFE Do you know how to keep food safe at home? The easy lessons of “Clean, Separate, Cook, and Chill” will help you protect your family from food borne illness and teach them how to

be food safe. Clean! - Wash hands and utensils to avoid spreading bac-

teria when preparing food. Separate! - Use different cutting boards for

meat, poultry, seafood, and veggies. Cook! - You can’t tell it’s done by how it

looks! Use a food thermometer. Chill! - Keep the fridge at 40 degrees or below to keep

bacteria from growing. Find more information at www.fairfaxcounty.gov/hd/food/besafe.
