Minutes October 10th, 2019, 10 AM
• Old Business: We reviewed the old business items below and there were no comments.

Basketball Court: Donations from Secretary & Treasurer salaries began in Aug 2011. Since then, the
Secretary & Treasurer have donated their annual pay every year towards this project. That is 10 years for
Jim (2011 thru 2020) x $200/year = $2000. That is 1 year for Mike, and 9 years for Mark (2011 thru 2020) x
$200/year = $2000. Also, we have $100 from Yard Sale, $100 donation from Doris Cousineau, and $200
from Kandy Bruno (WFC 2015 & 2017). $2000 + $2000 + $100 + $100 + $200 = $4400 currently available
for B-ball court.
ADA requirement: We may someday be required to make our pool handicap accessible: This is ongoing
concern and potential expense if requirement is enforced. ADA requirements on pool permit application
show 4 means of compliance. County reply states pools located at this facility are required to meet the
2010 ADA Standards but compliance is “not readily achievable” at this time. Insp report showed
compliance due 9/15/12. Lorie has action to monitor requirements.
Deep Well replacement: in 2017 we replaced the well pump motor and realized that our aging well casing
is badly corroded and could fail. We have budgeted $8000 for new well if/when required.

• New Business
1) ATVs in neighborhood: We have received several reports of children driving ATV’s and mini-bikes
recklessly on our streets. While we are hopeful that parents will be aware and admonish their children,
we are compelled to take action where necessary.

Lori briefed this issue to the group and a discussion ensued as to what action should be taken when

residents see this activity. It was agreed that the police should be called.

2) Agreements with Local Fire Departments: In support of community safety, we have signed Letters of
Agreement with HVFD, 7th District FD and HVRS. These agreements provide our first responders with
access cards to our waterfront and boat ramp, allowing them to effect water rescues on this heretofore
inaccessible section of the Patuxent River.

Jim read from the signed Letters of Agreement and described the process whereby we proved these
first responders with access cards for the gate. Jim further advised that such agreements may serve to

support our obtaining county funding to ensure our creek continues to be an accessible entry point to
the Patuxent River.

Open Discussion: Pam LeFave briefed the group that she would leading another Jones

th
Wharf cleanup walk on the 17 . She requested volunteers meet at pool house at 10 AM
and to call here if they have any questions.
