DCCOA Board Votes To Remove Speed Humps On Roads In Natural Areas
The May 27th Board of Directors meeting was attended by 38
residents who expressed their opinions regarding the concerns they had on the
need for the current speed humps in the Southern and Northern Natural Areas.
The Board, after hearing from these residents and after considerable debate
regarding the Access Control Committee's recommendation, decided by a vote of 5
to 4 that the complete removal of all speed humps in these areas was warranted.
The Northern Natural area speed deterrents will be removed during the road
resurfacing project later this year.
The final Auditor's report for 2009 was reported on by Board
President, Danny Becton. The Auditor's Year-End recommendation was to increase
the bad debt expense by an additional $14,067. This will result in the year end
balance for bad debts being $38,133 for Deercreek. The tax liability as a
result of the final tax return for 2009 was $3,209 for a total debit
adjustment of $17,274 to the 2009's Deercreek balance sheet. The auditor's
process for increasing the bad debt account will be analyzed by the
financial committee. They will provide a report back to the board at a future
meeting. The Architectural Review Board report identified a cost saving measure of
changing the ARB Approved sign display to be a "color paper" permit
to be placed in the window of the homeowner during any approved work. This
paper permit sign will be disposable and will save the association money in not
having to replace the previous more permanent versions that were not being
returned and lost. The Covenant Enforcement Committee reported that issues regarding the
Associations Covenants for "Garage Use" is being actively enforced.
Recent complaints, such as a resident using their garage as a pool room,
instead of parking cars is being addressed. This is a covenant
violation and could result in a fine of $100 a day to a maximum amount of
$1000. All residents are encouraged to adhere to this covenant rule and in the
event that all garage areas are being utilized for the parking of cars and
additional cars are owned, only then may the driveway be utilized for parking. The Board continues its previous work on implementing a new policy within the
Associations "Policy & Procedures" for handling issues regarding
the verbal abuse and harassment to our hired security officers or May
Management staff. The purpose of the policy is to provide an agreed upon
process for dealing with situations where confrontations do occur. If residents
violate this policy by demonstrating verbal abuse and a threatening nature
to our hired security officers it could result in a $250.00 fine and
eventual loss of their bar code. Cathy Fugate of May Management is helping in
the research of other associations who have similar policies in place. She
will forward those processes to the board for consideration in the final
drafting of this policy. It is anticipated that a final vote on this issue will
take place at the July Board meeting.

The View July 2010
Go take a look at the gorgeous display of white Crepe Myrtles from the sidewalk on Chester Lake Rd. West and the corner of Vineyard Lake Rd.
This lovely oasis of trees was planted as part of the Garden Club tree sale.
The sale is every two years and will be held again this fall (2010). Wow, what a beautiful sight!
