The Finance Committee report was presented by John Joyce, Chairman for the Committee. He reported that Walt Beissinger , a Committee member discussed with Jim Hutchinsons, CPA, the Deercreek tax return. It was later determined that some data was omitted resulting in the income being overstated, resulting in the refund.

The Finance Committee report further indicated that the utility charges for the Deercreek Homeowners Association should have been tax exempt. May Management will perform an audit of the utility bills for the past 36 months to determine the amount of refund due to the Association. An exemption will be filed for all future invoices.

The terms of three DCCOA Board members will expire this year, leaving vacancies that must be filled. Please do your part to maintain our community standards by considering running for the Board, or encouraging a neighbor to run.

The Board consists of nine members. Three of these nine positions will reach the end of their three-year terms, and replacements will be elected at the DCCOA annual meeting in December.

If elected, you will serve a three-year term. Your duties will include attending the monthly association meetings, and an occasional special meeting. Most members also serve as liaisons to standing committees of the association and attend those meetings. In addition, members may be asked to serve on special projects. Resumes are needed by October 1, so that ballots, resumes and proxies can be mailed out in early November, and profiles can be included in the November newsletter.

If you are considering running for the DCCOA Board, please prepare a brief personal statement with your background and qualifications, and reasons for wanting to run. For more information contact Danny Becton, danny@thebectons.us, 519-1276, or any Board member.
