Wendy Osborn called the meeting to order at 7:40pm.
Wendy Hunt made a motion to approve the minutes. Jon Roe seconded it and the Board approved the minutes unanimously.

Treasurer’s Report: There are approximately 15 lots with outstanding homeowner dues. Pool privileges have been suspended until the dues are paid. Personal visits will be made to the remaining homes that have not paid their dues.

Community Facilities: No report at this time.

Land Management: There are a few downed trees from the past storm that are being addressed.

Architectural Control Committee: Reports of commercial vehicles have been made and are being followed up on.

Community Activities: The next Teen Pool Party will be held July 29th. Work continues towards the Community Day event. Volunteers are needed and the request will be in the newsletter again this month. Two volunteers from the past have come forward. One will manage the cake walk.

Civic Affairs: The committee discussed the proposed jet fuel pipeline along McLearan and Centerville Road and a neighborhood position. A board member will attend the zoning meeting.

Centreville Road Widening: The Board of Directors does not have the power to negotiate the transfer of land; this is a power that the membership holds. Therefore, VDOT has moved to condemn the land and the board of directors no longer has an opportunity to negotiate the deal, unless it wants to go through costly condemnation proceedings with the CHHA attorney, at which time we would still need to get two-thirds of the community to agree on a final price. The CHHA board president will be working with the CHHA attorney to file the necessary paperwork to obtain the $14,640 VDOT offered. Current plans are to use this money for land management.

Lincoln Properties is planning to return to the Sully District Council Land Use and Transportation Committee sometime this fall when their plans are further refined based on the approval of their Plan Amendment.

Neighborhood Watch: The neighborhood watch committee is growing but still needs volunteers. This month, a laptop was stolen, a car has been broken into, and some evidence of drug use has been spotted, so we will have increased security in the neighborhood. There has been some vandalism at the pool as well. The board discussed potentially participating in National Night Out, a national awareness day sponsored by the Fairfax Police. As the newsletter may not get out in time, we elected not to participate this year.

Communications - Newsletter and Website: Announcements, articles and upcoming deadlines were discussed. Directory format was discussed and a cost analysis requested by the Board to help determine which format to use. That is, in addition to the alphabetical list, should the directory include a cross reference list of names by street address?. A suggestion was made to put contact information on the front web page to assist residents in locating the proper committee member.

Long Range Planning: No new business at this time.

Database: The database committee has spent a lot of time working on improving updating address procedures. Field differences need to be addressed to save on time. Outdated fields need to be removed.

A motion was made to have a board member assist with data streaming by Wendy Osborn and it was seconded by Darin Welt.

The process for getting the updates reliably into the CHHA database has been improved and is working well. For information security purposes, the CHHA email list will be kept by the database administrator only. Requests for emails will go through this committee and in return, the committee has committed to a quick response time.

Old Business: A board member has talked to several residents about a consistent looking fence along Centreville Road. Three residents were interested in a common approach. Part of the problem is that four homes of the fifteen bordering Centreville road are now for sale.

R-Tap: The Board President and another board member are working with the members of the community that have expressed in interest in this issue to keep the process rolling forward. Interested parties have to sign the form to be turned into the county as the next step. Six residents have graciously volunteered their services.

New Business: A motion was made to make a donation to assist the family whose home was struck by lightning in a recent thunderstorm and as a result caught on fire by Darin Welt and was seconded by Wendy Hunt; the Board unanimously approved the motion. A notice will be put in the newsletter to allow people to donate to this family as well.

The need for an accurate, complete CHHA email database was discussed. Committee members need to be able to contact residents with pertinent information quickly and inexpensively. Board members will address this as time goes on.

The committee discussed the proposed jet fuel pipeline along McLearan and Centerville Road and a neighborhood position.

A chairman and community volunteer have been selected to serve on the board of directors nominating committee. Board members are working to put together the rest of the nominating committee. Four positions need to be filled. Residents with interest should contact Wendy Osborn by email.

Meeting Adjournment: Wendy Osborn made a motion to adjourn the meeting and Wendy Hunt seconded it; the Board unanimously approved the motion and the meeting was adjourned at 9:06pm.
