Chantilly Highlands Homes Association Board of Directors Meeting
Thursday, May 5, 2005 Submitted by: Mary Kerr
Minutes are tentative and will be reviewed and approved at the upcoming Board of Directors meeting.
Board Attendees: Jeff Boehlert, Debbie Bowen, Jim Ceh,
Mark Hassinger, Mary Kerr, Karen McGreevy, Wendy Osborn, Chris Tacinelli and Darin Welt.
Absent Board Attendees: None. Home Owner Attendees: Two residents. The Chantilly Highlands Homes Association Meeting was
called to order at 7:36 PM by President, Jim Ceh.
Meeting Minutes: The April Minutes were reviewed and accepted with one correction. Cathe Hargenrader’s name was misspelled.
Architectural Control: Mark Hassinger made a Motion to appoint Cindy DiPalma to the ACC Committee. Chris Tacinelli seconded. All approved. Cindy was wel-comed by all.
Long Range Planning: Mary Kerr presented the topics that are to be discussed at tonight’s meeting as well as what information should be included in the upcoming Newsletter. The planning calendar will be emailed to all board members.
The community center parking lot is scheduled to be re-surfaced between May 10 and May 15. The edges of the lot will be milled, cracks will be filled in, the entire lot paved and striped.
Treasurer's Report: Chris Tacinelli reported that 20 homes still owe their assessment dues and these resi-dents will not be permitted to use the pool, community center, or participate in any other subdivision activities until their assessments are paid. Chris has either con-tacted each homeowner either by phone or email.
Twenty-five thousand dollars has been budgeted to cover major expenses this year, however, we will actually spend $44,000. The remaining $19,000 will be taken from reserves.
The auditor has reviewed the CHHA accounting books and has approved. Money is currently in two accounts at one local bank – money market and checking ac-count. The auditor suggested that the reserve funds be separated out and placed in another bank. This will help keep the accounting clean and also provide protec-tion of the funds if a bank would close.
Community Events: The community yard sale was held
on Saturday, April 30th even though it was dampened with rain. Due to the rain and low turn-out, residents suggested that a “rain date” be set for future yard sales. There was no recollection of there being a rain date in the past. The Social Committee meeting at the Commu-nity Center will be held on Wednesday, May 18th at 7 p.m. to discuss/plan Community Day, and Teen Party. Everyone is invited.
Community Facilities: The pool opening is on schedule and will open in three weeks. The furniture was in-spected and thoughts are that additional furniture will not be needed this season. The Rolodex system will be used again this pool season. Community Facilities and the Guards ask that you be patient as each person’s name is looked up for confirmation that they are a resi-dent and in good standing with the CHHA Bylaws and Covenants.
Cindy Nichols won the snack provider contract for this pool season. The Guards will be selling the snack items during break time and ask that you use small bills and coins.
Pool companies were contacted about inspecting all the pool equipment this spring and have them provide a recommendation of what needs to be upgraded/repaired over the next couple of years based on wear and tear and Fairfax County requirements. The consensus was that there is really no way to check the equipment for life expectancy and if something should break, it should only take one to two days to repair.
The tennis courts are in the process of being resurfaced. The courts are useable for tennis play, however, bicy-cles, skateboards, roller blades, etc. are not permissible. Once the surface is cured, the lines will be painted and fence repaired. Caution tape will be placed around the tennis court area to discourage use by articles that could damage the resurfacing process.
Land Management: Mowing of the common areas has begun, and several residents have asked about mowing of the gas lines by CHHA since the utility companies seldom come to mow. Currently all common ground that has street access is maintained by the Association. There are two large gas lines in this community. Mark Hassinger made the Motion to have Wendy Osborn con-tact Palmer Property Management to retrieve a bid of what it would cost to cut these two gas lines and how often they should be cut. Mary Kerr seconded. Motion carried.
Neighborhood Watch: Officer Barrington and Officer
See BOARD MINUTES on Page 3
Page 3 June 2005
Twombly of the Fairfax County Police Department came this evening to train residents and discuss Neighborhood Watch. Attendance was very disap-pointing because only two residents attended.
National Night Out is scheduled for Tuesday, August 2nd. This is an evening block party held throughout the country. A suggestion was made that this could be a way to get information out about Neighborhood Watch. It was also suggested that we could incorporate this into our Community Day when attendance is high.
Due to the recent drug arrest of a non-CHHA resident on Scotsmore, and needles and drug paraphernalia being found on the bike path near McLearan and Cobra, po-lice bike patrol will increase in this area. Parents are asked to talk to your children about not handling any items they may find on these paths, being approached by anyone selling drugs and to notify police of immedi-ately if this occurs.
Architectural Control: The Board is planning to walk the
neighborhood this fall to look for homes that are not in compliance with the ACC Guidelines, Bylaws and Covenants. A revised ACC Guideline book is in re-view and will be printed and mailed to the residents soon.
Newsletter: Nothing to report at this time. Old Business: Discussion was postponed regarding up-
grading the current insurance concerns brought up at the last meeting.
There have been some problems arising from Verizon being in the neighborhood. Contact numbers were in the May Newsletter if residents have experienced any problems.
New Business: The land owned by EDS that is being proposed to be developed will be meeting in June with the County. The community and the Board will want to attend future planning and development meetings with the County.
Adjournment: Chris Tacinelli made a Motion to adjourn the meeting and Jeff Boehlert Seconded. The Board approved and the meeting adjourned at 9:15 p.m.

HOPE FOR HAYDEN A Community Outreach Project
Submitted by Cindy DiPalma
Hayden Mustico, age 15 and a resident of Franklin Farm, is critically ill with a rare genetic disorder called Adrenoleukodystrophy or (ALD). Hayden is in need of an immediate bone marrow transplant that he will receive at the end of this month. His family has relo-cated to the Cincinnati area for several months while Hayden undergoes treatment at the Cincinnati Chil-dren’s Hospital.
The Jennings/Mustico family still resides in our com-munity, and can use our help. Even with insurance cov-erage, the family can expect high medical costs, which does not include travel or living expenses while in Cin-cinnati. You can learn more about ALD, and updates on Hayden at www.HopeForHayden.com. Here is how you can help Hayden and his family: ∗ Donate financially to support the family in related
care and medical costs. Checks must be made pay-able to Stacy Jennings and sent to: P.O. Box 710838, Herndon, Virginia, 20171. Please include notation, Stacy’s Kids, on the check memo line.
∗ Consider learning more about becoming a marrow donor by contacting www.marrow.org or www.themarrowfoundation.org.
∗ A 3 on 3 basketball tournament is scheduled for June 25, at Dulles Sports Plex. It is open to most age groups. Go to www.HopeForHayden.com for more information.

Remodeling Contract Provisions By Carla Abbud
Once you have picked a remodeler, no work should begin until you have a written contract that spells out the details of your project.
What are some of the typical provisions remodeling con-tracts include?
•The remodeling company’s legal name and the name it is operating or “doing business as” (if the two are different), street address, telephone number, and license number.
•A detailed written and visual representation - blueprint, floor plan, sketches, product photographs - that both states, and depicts, what the remodeler will do and where.
•The timetable for the project, including approximate start and completion dates.
•The price and progress payment schedule. Payments are usually tied to the satisfac-tory completion of a certain construction phase and the passing of building inspections for that phase, if applicable. A hefty deposit is generally not required if a contractor is sol-vent and reliable.
•Detailed specifications for all products and materials. The description of each item should provide enough detail to clearly identify it, such as the brand name, model number, color, and size. This section of the contract may also describe any materials to be se-lected later, who will choose them, and the amount of money (called an allowance) set aside to pay for each item.
•Information on who will obtain and pay for necessary permits and other approvals. Generally, the contractor should obtain permits in his name so that that the contractor, not the homeowner, is responsible for any building code violations.
•Insurance information. It is a good idea to list the con-tractor’s workers’ compensation and liability insurance in-formation in the contract, or to attach it as an exhibit. The issuing insurance company’s name, policy number, policy effective dates, types and limits of coverage are all listed on a Certificate of Insurance routinely providing by the contrac-tor’s insurance broker. You will want to check the policy effective dates to ensure that it covers the time frame when your project will be built. You can also ask to be listed as an “additional insured” on the contractor’s policy for the dura-

tion of the project. Talk to your own insurance agent about this issue if you have questions.
•The procedures for handling change orders.
•Lien releases to ensure that you are not held liable for any claims of nonpayment by the contractor to subcontrac-tors and suppliers.
•Waiver of liability. Reputable contractors should be willing to state in writing that their company specifically exempts the homeowner from liability for any injury sus-tained by any employee or subcontractor of the company during the course of the project, and that the contractor will indemnify and defend the homeowner against all such claims.
•Provisions for conflict resolution in the event of a con-tract dispute.
•Details on issues like access to your home, care of the premises, phone and bathroom use, cleanup, trash removal, and repair of disturbed landscaping.
•Warranty information. Most remodelers offer some form of written warranty. Many builders back their own warranties on workmanship and materials, typically for one year. Others offer warranties backed by an insurance com-pany. Also, some warranties for things such as roofing, windows, and doors, may be provided by the manufacturer. Distinguish between the different types of warranties and list them in your contract.
•Once you have read your contract carefully, review it with your remodeler to clarify any wording you do not un-derstand.
•If you still have questions after this meeting, you should discuss them with your attorney. When all your questions have been answered, you're ready to sign the contract.

Fairfax County Health Department is asking residents to help with their West Nile virus surveillance by reporting dead birds. Avoid handling any dead animal with bare hands. Correctly dispose of a dead bird by double-bagging it and placing it in the garbage. Report it at 703-246-2300 or www.fairfaxcounty.gov/fightthebite. You will be asked to provide your name, phone number, date and location found, and type/description of the bird. You can also help by eliminating mosquito breeding sites of standing water. Protect yourself by wearing mosquito repellent containing DEET when outdoors.

NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH
CRIME & INCIDENTS REPORT No incidents to report. You can view crime and incident reports on the
internet at www.co.fairfax.va.us/ps/police/police7.htm.
Although drugs have not been a major issue in this commu-nity, we have had reports of drug paraphernalia found on the bike path near McLearen Road and Cobra Drive. There has also been one drug arrest on Scotsmore Drive. This arrest involved a sub-ject who was not a resident of Chantilly Highlands. The police are aware of the situation and are following up on the informa-tion and reports. Parents are asked to talk to their children about not handling any items they may find on these paths, and if ap-proached by a stranger to advise their parents, who should report it to the police. The non-emergency police phone number is 703-691-2131. If at all possible report it in a timely matter so an offi-cer might be able to catch someone.
With summer approaching there is typically an increase in criminal/mischievous activity. Remember to report any suspi-cious persons, vehicles, or activities to the police. Bring your cell phone when you take your evening walks with your neighbor or with the dog. Program the police non-emergency number (703-691-2131) into your cell phone. For emergencies or crimes occurring, call 911—remember as much information as possible, but do not intervene.
Child Supervision Guidelines These guidelines have been developed by social work profes-sionals in collaboration with the community. THEY ARE GUIDELINES ONLY. There may be situations, even within these guidelines, when it is not safe to leave a child unsuper-vised. Parents are ultimately responsible for making decisions about their child's safety.
Whenever any child is unsupervised/unattended the following should apply: • There must be no emotional, medical, or behavioral prob-
lems which affect judgment or decision-making skills. • Child must be comfortable being alone. • Youth must have a safety plan worked out with the parent/
caretaker, which includes: 1. How to access parent or other responsible adult at all
times (including knowing the parent/caretaker’s whereabouts and having a telephone number where parent can be reached).
2. What to do in case of emergency. 3. Guidelines for acceptable behavior. 4. Knowledge of emergency telephone numbers.
• Youth must demonstrate the ability to follow the safety plan and to make decisions that reflect concern for personal safety.
SUPERVISION GUIDELINES 7 years & under: Should not be left alone for any period of
time. This may include leaving children unattended in cars, playgrounds, and backyards. The determining considera-tion would be the dangers in the environment and the abil-ity of the caretaker to intervene.
8 to 10 years: Should not be left alone for more than 1½ hours and only during daylight and early evening hours.
11 to 12 years: May be left alone for up to 3 hours but not late at night or in circumstances requiring inappropriate respon-sibility.
13 to 15 years: May be left unsupervised, but not overnight. 16 to 17 years: May be left unsupervised. In some cases, for up
to two consecutive overnight periods. This and additional information can be found at
