Board of Trustees Meeting Minutes
April 8, 2008
Trustees in Attendance: Minnie Clark Lamar, Julia
Coldren Walker, Patricia Douville, Sandy Martin,
Paul Petit, Terry Rowland, and Kendra Wagner
Trustees Absent with Cause: Patricia Eisenberg
Community Members Present: Mary Hughes,
Ronald Shoupe, Chris Harris, Paul McCullagh,
Marcia Segura, John Martin, Eric Brown deColstoun,
Mary Derrick, Bob Derrick, Paul Buehler, Tony Flem-
ing, Richard Dengler, Jeri Witt.
President Kendra Wagner called the meeting to or-
der at 8:10. There was a quorum present to conduct
business.
Secretary’s Report: Kendra Wagner
The March, 2008 minutes were read and a motion
was made by Trustee Martin and seconded by Trus-
tee Petit to accept the minutes. The motion passed
unanimously.
Treasurer’s Report:
The financial report was distributed to all trustees by
Ms. Witt.
Administrative Assistant Report: There are five
people interested in the gate attendant position.
Trustee Petit made a motion to set the hourly rate at
$10 an hour. The motion was seconded by Trustee
Coldren-Walker and approved with Trustee Rowland
opposed. The hours for pool operation and updated
pool rules are needed by April 15 for inclusion in the
next newsletter. The pool rules will be distributed to
the trustees for final approval before publication.
Committee Reports:
ACCC: Marcia Segura, Chair
There was no meeting due to lack of quorum pre-
sent at the April meeting. The next meeting is May
1.
Facilities: Paul Petit, Chair
Mr. Petit reported that the pool parking lot is in very
bad shape. Mr. Dengler reported that he and Mr.
Derrick will report on this at the next meeting. Mr.
Petit is also concerned about the condition of the
baseball backstop. Ms. Witt suggested that the
parking lot could be made smaller because it is
rarely full and this could save some money. Mr.
Petit would like to include a notice in the next news-
letter requesting volunteers for some beautification
and facilities work.
Pool Committee: Paul Buehler, Chair
8 July-Aug. 2008
Mr. Buehler gave Trustee Wagner a copy of the pool
contract with Lighthouse Pools for her review and
signature. He will distribute a copy to all board
members for a final review via email. Mr. Buehler
will contact Lighthouse about dropping the contract
to three guards instead of four guards because they
are not rotating through the gate. He estimated this
savings to be about $3,300. A report will be re-
ceived every two weeks which will list the credit
hours and guard hours. Mr. Buehler will get a new
contract and distribute it to all with the new guard
numbers and cost. The board will then make a final
decision in two days. Mr. Buehler asked if the board
would make a decision on the high dive. Trustee
Rowland made a motion to forego the high dive for
this year. Trustee Coldren-Walker seconded. The
current insurance does not cover a high dive and
Mr. Buehler found insurance for $12,000 but it was
pointed out that it did not cover the rest of the com-
mon grounds. Trustee Coldren-Walker counted the
responses on the yahoo group to be 43 against and
15 for the high dive. This is not an official tally be-
cause many members do not use the group list.
Following the discussion, the motion to forego the
high dive for this year passed unanimously.
Ms. Witt addressed the board and the pool chairman
clarifying the funding of the reserve account. There
have been statements made that the board over-
funded the reserve account last year because
$30,000 was deposited in the account. She ex-
plained that in 2006 nothing was put in the reserve
fund because there was such a high outlay of
money for repairs at the pool. However, the ac-
countants made clear that by law, the reserve ac-
count must be funded every year. Therefore, in
2007 an amount equal to the 2006 and 2007 funding
was deposited in the reserve account. Ms. Witt also
explained that any money left over at the end of the
year is not deposited in the reserve account, but
says in the operational account.
Mr. Buehler received proposals for new fencing in
front of the pool which would tie into the basketball
court. The proposals were not available for review
but ranged in price from $5,000-$12,000. They in-
cluded a gate into the basketball court but did not
include steps which would be needed to enter the
court. That cost would be included in a landscaping
proposal. It was suggested that the pool committee
bring all of the proposed improvements and needed
repairs to the board so that projects can be priori-
tized and budgeted. Mr. Derrick reported that the
fencing is at the end of its useful life according to the
(Continued on page 9)
(Continued from page 8)
engineering report.
Social Committee: Susan Mathis, Chair
The yard sale is May 17, 2008.
Security Committee: Richard Dengler, Chair
Mr. Dengler reported that there was a major drug
bust at Twin Hill and Mt. Pleasant. He discussed
putting up street lights along the wooded side and
estimated the cost to be $1200-$1500. A light is
going to be installed to illuminate the playground
area. He also recommended that the bushes be
removed in front of the snack bar, gate and bath
house. He will coordinate with Trustees Petit and
Eisenberg.
ACTION ITEMS: (Items held over from other meet-
ings)
VP: Insurance was secured.
Pool: It was decided to repair the concrete with
skim coating as we do not have time for exten-
sive repairs before pool opens. Lighthouse
thinks that it will pass inspection.
Pump reconditioning being done – cost around
$500.00.
Guards at swim team practices – Jeannene
O’Neil is a certified lifeguard and will be at all
practices. She will speak to Lighthouse about
being a “fill-in” guard. A motion was made to
accept her as the interim swim team chair.
The motion was seconded and passed unani-
mously. June 16 will start the morning prac-
tices and reported that some children might
need to have an evening practice time twice a
week.
Outside showers – working on bids.
Facilities: Bike Rack will be up by time pool opens.
Criscuoli’s – held over until next meeting.
Landscaping: Trustee Eisenberg absent.
Security: Emergency broadcast system, video se-
curity system, and blog. Radios have not been
purchased yet.
Communications: Mr. Fleming secured a new host-
ing service after the company was sold. He is
working on enhancements.
NEW BUSINESS:
Comments from Members:
Mr. McCullagh thanked the board for their work on
behalf of the community. He reported that he had
received several complaints that beer was brought
into an MCA community meeting in a county build-
ing. He was concerned that this jeopardized the
community’s standing and relationship with the
county. Trustee Wagner said that she had also re-
ceived complaints. Trustee Wagner made a motion
to remove the member from the chair position of the
committee. Trustee Rowland seconded the motion.
Trustee Douville suggested that a statement that no
alcoholic beverages were allowed in any MCA
meeting would be sufficient action. The motion
passed with Trustee Douville against and Trustee
Petit abstaining.
Trustee Coldren-Walker made a motion to appoint
Ms. Witt, who recently resigned from the board, as
interim treasurer until a new trustee is selected.
The motion was seconded and passed unani-
mously.
Trustee Douville stated that an interim pool chair
should be appointed. After discussion, it was de-
cided that the pool committee would make their rec-
ommendation for chairperson to the executive com-
mittee.
The next meeting will be held on Tuesday, May 13,
2008 at 6:45 at Deerfield Recreation Center, pre-
school room. The motion was made and seconded
to adjourn at 9:40 P.M. The motion passed unani-
mously.

Board of Trustees Meeting Minutes
May 13, 2008
Trustees in Attendance: Minnie Clark Lamar,
Julia Coldren Walker, Patricia Douville, Patricia
Eisenberg, and Kendra Wagner
Trustees Absent with Cause: Sandy Martin, Paul
Petit, Terry Rowland
Community Members Present: Mary Hughes,
Mary Derrick, Bob Derrick, Richard Dengler, Jean-
nene O’Neill, Jeri Witt.
President Kendra Wagner called the meeting to or-
der at 6:58 PM. There was a quorum present to
conduct business.
Secretary’s Report: Kendra Wagner
The April, 2008 minutes were read and a questions
arose regarding the accuracy of the minutes. Trus-
tee Coldren-Walker suggested that the minutes be
transcribed verbatim. Trustee Douville asked if any
member was banned from the building and ques-
tioned whether Montpelier board meetings could be
held in the facility if a member was not allowed to
enter. No one has been banned from the building.
The administrative assistant was told to verify that a
specific word was correct in the minutes and revise
the wording of a motion. Trustee Clark-Lamar
made a motion to accept the minutes with correc-
tions. The motion was seconded by Trustee Col-
dren-Walker and passed unanimously.
Treasurer’s Report:
The financial report was distributed to all trustees by
Ms. Witt. Trustee Douville asked what the tempo-
rary savings were. They are operational funds
shifted to a savings account just to get a better in-
terest rate. A member asked why more wasn’t in
the savings account. Ms. Witt was waiting to find
out how much was needed for pool management.
Mr. Derrick turned the signed, final copy of the pool
contract over to the Administrative Assistant. An
adjustment had been made to the contract for the
gate attendant and the final contract price was
$53,360. Trustee Douville asked when the swim
team would get their donations. She did not feel
that the board should “sit” on the money. Ms. Witt
explained that the treasurer waits until most of the
assessments are paid and deposited so that all do-
nations are collected and one check is issued. She
suggested that all donations be disbursed by May
31 and Trustee Douville thought this was a good
idea. Ms. O’Neill is the Swim Team Chairperson.
All miscellaneous donations will be disbursed as
needed.
Administrative Assistant Report: Mary Hughes
Ms. Hughes met with the gate attendants. She has
five under contract and two more people are inter-
ested if they are needed. She announced that she
will be out of town from mid-June through mid Au-
gust and she would like Ms. Witt to take over her
position during that time. Trustee Coldren-Walker
made a motion to accept Ms. Witt as the assistant in
Ms. Hughes’ absence. The motion was seconded
by Trustee Clark-Lamar and passed unanimously.
A member asked for the names of the gate atten-
dants: C. Mills, C. Bowen, A. Issu, S. Robinson and
C. Brown de Colstoun.
Committee Reports:
ACCC: Marcia Segura, Chair
Ms. Witt reported in Ms. Segura’s absence (copy
attached). A member requested a six foot fence for
a pool and presented a contract for the pool. The
ACCC approved the placement of the fence, but the
height of the fence will be mandated by Prince
George’s county once the pool is installed. A 4 foot
fence was approved. A member asked what is be-
ing done about uncut lawns. The ACCC had asked
for permission to fine members for uncut lawns in
the proposed bylaw changes, but they were never
voted on.
Facilities: Paul Petit, Chair
No report. A member asked if the Criscuoli contract
included cleaning the tennis courts. There are two
contracts, and Trustee Wagner will check to see if
they have been signed. Ms. Witt asked that the
contracts include information regarding the 1099
status. The contracts end November 30. Mr. Der-
rick discussed the Reserve Fund and and the Engi-
neering Report. The 1998 report showed 61 items
and the current report has captured 47 items so far.
Mr. Dengler and Mr. Derrick have identified 83 items
to date and think that they are almost finished.
They are looking through records to determine
when some items were installed. Ms. Witt reported
that the board had voted last year to put 15% in the
reserve fund. The bylaws require a minimum of
10% and the board can vote to increase that
amount each year. Mr. Derrick reported that the
reserve fund can fluctuate depending on what the
board decides is at the end of its useful life and
needs to be replaced. Ms. Witt asked if the life-
guards “have a clear and unobstructed view” of the
baby pool. When the brick planter is removed, the
board needs to be sure that Prince George’s County
requirements are followed. She will send out the
information that she has. Mr. Petit was going to
(Continued on page 11)
10 July-Aug. 2008
(Continued from page 10)
repaint the bike rack, but it was suggested that
bikes be put into the side gated area. Mr. Derrick
thought that the bike rack is at the end of its useful
life and a new one should be purchased. Trustee
Petit will be consulted before the old one is dis-
posed of.
Pool Committee:
Pool rules have been finalized and will be dis-
bursed. Ms. Derrick, Ms. Hughes and Trustee
Wagner discussed the final revisions and copies
will be made available at the pool. The pumps
have been re-installed. A bill should be sent soon
for about $800. The concrete doesn’t need to be
replaced and will pass inspection. The pool cover
is removed, stains cleaned, pool drained and power
washed, a small leak needs repairing ($135-
Lighthouse bid). A discussion ensued regarding
whether to use Lighthouse or Mike Owens. Several
other plumbing issues are pending such as repair-
ing the drinking fountains. Mr. Dengler suggested
that an outside drinking fountain would prevent kids
from asking to get into the pool area to get a drink
of water and a hose or temporary fountain could be
run out to the common area. Lighthouse suggested
one new set of filters be purchased. Mr. Dengler
said that there is a new sand filter available and we
would never have to replace a filter again. Ms. Witt
expressed concern that plumbers and electricians
should be hired to do required work rather than re-
lying on the management company. It was a prob-
lem in the past when we relied on the management
company alone. The inspection is expected in
enough time to get a list of things that need to be
done. Pool furniture may be required. It was sug-
gested that one person purchase additional furni-
ture rather than several individuals. The kitchen
needs to be cleaned. The phone is turned on.
Lighthouse would like to invoice monthly rather than
bi-weekly. Mr. Derrick and Mr. Dengler propose
that they now back out of pool management and let
the management company run the pool. Trustee
Douville is the board liaison to the pool. A list will
be made and given to the board of anything that
needs to be done to get the pool through inspec-
tion.
Ms. O’Neil reported that Matt Harris is the coach
and Brian Abdo is the assistant coach. A list of
swim meets was distributed. They have a CD of
GUEST PASS PAYMENT DUE
All members with outstanding “IOU’s” for guest passes will receive a bill which should be paid as
soon as possible. No additional “IOU’s” for guest passes will be honored.
11
about $6,000 and almost $5,000 in a checking ac-
count and they would like to hold a car wash to
raise money for the banquet. Money is used to pay
coaches, equipment and dues to the league. Some
of the money is kept in reserve to replace expen-
sive equipment as it wears out. The swim team will
not take over the pool during swim team practices.
They also will inform the community via signs at the
pool if swim team use overlaps with general com-
munity use. The coaches/lifeguards may schedule
swim lessons during their off hours. The pool man-
ager will handle the swim tests and recordkeeping.
The bracelets have been used as replacement
grounds use passes. Swim team practices are 8:30
to 10:30 AM so Jeannene will need gate keys or the
lockbox combination.
Social Committee: Susan Mathis, Chair
Ms. Mathis resigned as the social chair but will han-
dle the yard sale. Trustee Wagner will check to see
if she has anyone interested in taking over the posi-
tion. There are many pool parties scheduled this
year. Someone also needs to take on the pool pa-
vilion reservations. The gate attendants can keep
the calendar and let people know if dates are avail-
able. She has also resigned from the Nominations
Committee chair position.
Security Committee: Richard Dengler, Chair
Mr. Dengler reported that the emergency broadcast
system and blog are working. He has no commu-
nity support for the neighborhood patrol. The play-
ground light will be installed. Streetlights on Mt.
Pleasant are difficult to get because this is
MNCPPC property. The new door is on the utility
closet, but a new lock is required for $50.
OLD BUSINESS
Ms. Witt reported that the 2006 review is at the ac-
countants and when that is completed he will start
on the 2007 review. They are estimated to cost
$2,000 each. It could be more if the accountant
runs into problems.
Two board members left the meeting and there was
no longer a quorum to conduct business. The next
meeting will be held on Tuesday, June 10, 2008 at
6:45 at Deerfield Recreation Center, preschool
room. The motion was made and seconded to ad-
journ at 9:00 P.M. The motion passed unani-
mously.

In the 2007 season at the pool 13 homeowners were allowed to charge for guest passes - a total of
$175.00 of lost revenue as these charges were never paid. We have sent letters out to the 2007 home-
owners. This year when someone needs to charge for a guest pass they are given 7 days to pay for the
pass themselves. If this is not done they are sent a letter of reminder and their ability to charge is dis-
continued until they are paid up.

We are having a lot of homeowners who are adding grown children and grandchildren to their pool user
forms, showing them as living in the house. We would like to initiate a policy that any adult shown as
living in the house, but not the homeowner, must show some kind of ID with that home’s address. It is
the only fair solution for members who act in an honest manner and pay for extended passes for their
relatives.

The policy for bonding the officers was not voted on at the last meeting and has lapsed.

BENEVOLENT FUND REPORT

In May, I did an add-on yard sale at my house when we had the community yard sale and $113.00 was
raised for the MCA Benevolent Fund. This money was deposited in the Benevolent Fund account.
I would like to thank the McCullagh, Mathis, Kunz, Dennis, Hass, Lauttman and Marcinko families for
their kind donations and the Hynes and Seedorf families for the use of their tables.

The position of treasurer has always been a very important job on the board of trustees. New accounting
laws have only increased the demands on time and skills required of the treasurer. With that in mind, the
MCA board is considering whether the treasurer should have an experienced assistant. Any assistant
would be a contract worker and would be responsible for all taxes due and a 1099 would be pro-
vided. Interested parties should complete the following form or submit all the requested information in
another format and mail it to MCA, Post Office Box 2503, Laurel, MD 20709.
