REPORT ON HOA BOARD MEETING, Sept. 2, 2009

The Home Owners Association Board met for its regular monthly meeting at 7:00 PM, Wed., Sept 2, in the Village Hall (Arts Center Office). Present were: Howard Corey, President, Jack Mayer, Secretary-Treasurer, Robert Tierney, Vice Pres., Association Manager: Florence Harrison, and 12 residents.

1) A FinanciaL Report was handed out to all present. Owners may obtain a copy from the Associaion Manager (see left sidebar). The HOA financial health is good. No increase in owners' monthly dues is expected.

2) Neighborhood Watch Coordinator Carol Ray (see left sidebar) reported that the report published in the Village News about six weeks ago about an assault on Chester Village Drive resulted from a mistake in the way it was reported to police. There was no assault in Chester Village Green.

When our Neighborhood Watch organization registered with the police three years ago, the registration was not properly recorded, and the process must now be repeated. Home owners will be asked to sign the required petition.

3) Architectural Review Committee: Currently, all matters are being resolved satisfactorily by email.

4) Landscaping Committee:

---The artillary spores (small black dots) that appear on the siding and window frames of some homes may be coming from untreated mulch. More on this later.

---If geese return to our pond this Fall or Winter, measures will be taken to discourage them, including the possibility of loud booming noises.

---Alleys will be treated in October and curbs will be added in some places to properly divert water run-off.

5) At the official Annual Meeting, Wed., Oct. 7, 7:00 PM, at the Library, changes in the By-Laws will be voted upon. 67% of the home owners must be present or sign proxies in advance. A letter about the meeting, the proposed By-Law changes, and the proxies will be delivered to each home's newpaper box soon. If you are going to be out of town or cannot attend this very important meeting, please use the proxy as an absentee ballot.

Musical entertainment will kick off at the fair with local Christian rock band Crimson Flow; Keith Henderson’s “Illusions of the King” Elvis show, which Rusbasan says “is always a big draw,” will take place on Saturday. Doo wop group Bak N Da Day, another old favorite, is scheduled to perform on Monday night; Patron Band will perform on Wednesday, with Southland Band on Thursday and Legends, a group of oldies singers, will perform Friday.

Those who want to participate in singing can also take place in David Allen’s Karaoke: ...an open event for all ages.

Jan Rusbasan, Chesterfield County Fair secretary, says “There will also be a Festival Latino all day Sunday, which is new and exciting.” The festival will include music and food vendors celebrating Hispanic culture

All the old standards will be back: the antique tractor and farm equipment display, barrel train rides with the Chesterfield Tractor Club, bingo with the Bensley-Bermuda Rescue Squad, a children’s tent, Dimples and Honey Bee the clowns, Lambeth’s Petting Zoo, a midway from Jolly Shows, the mechanical bull, the model train display, pony rides, and roller pigeons. “The roller pigeons will be back along with homing pigeons, and they’ll be putting on demonstrations throughout the weekend,” says Rusbasan. “They’re bred that way – they just roll through the air. It’s pretty wild!” The arts and crafts displays will be as full of talent as ever, with categories covering home-grown crops, baked goods, sewing and embroidery, visual arts, flowers, and more.

MAKE YOUR VOICE HEARD ABOUT PLAN FOR COUNTY'S FUTURE

You’ve heard all the talk about the [County's] new comprehensive plan. “How will it really affect me, and do I really have any say as to how it will turn out?”

Have your questions answered while giving county planners your input on the plan during a combined meeting of the Chester Community Association (CCA) and the Bermuda Advocates for Responsible Development (BARD) on [Thursday] August 27 in the offices of the Chesterfield Center for the Arts Foundation, just opposite the Chester Library on Centre St. in the Village Green.

During the meeting, which begins at 7 p.m., county planners will record area residents’ expectations and concerns for the new comprehensive plan. As reported, the plan will be a countywide plan, and currently it is unclear how much of current area plans will be included. The CCA has asked that residents weigh in during this special meeting to let planners know what they want for the Chester area.
