COMMITTEES:

Roads and Drainage - No updates reported.

Community Watch - Christine Bauerdorf said that Charlie Bauerdorf attended the last Community Watch meeting. The person allegedly responsible for several Calvert Beach neighborhood break-ins in December has been arrested. There is a new Commander of the Community Watch program. He expressed a goal of establishing teams of Community Watch participants in every neighborhood. More details will be forthcoming in future Community Watch meetings.

Boat Ramp Keys - No updates reported.

Beach Erosion – Doug Crow suggested the use of Beach Prisms which run parallel to the beach and serve as a breakwater. He plans to pay for this in the bay by his property. Terrye will speak with him about this plan.

OLD BUSINESS:

Security Reports - Charlie Anderson is working with the Long Beach community representative to line up security personnel for the upcoming season, which begins in April.

Meeting Day/Signage - It was agreed to continue holding CBCA meetings on the third Saturdayof each month. It was also agreed not to change the wording on the Community Bulletin Board announcing each months meeting, i.e leave it as "board" meeting as opposed to "community" meeting.

Sympathy Card/Donation - A donation of $50.00 has been sent to the South Frankfort Church in memory of Steve Krembs.

Towing Company Sign/Sheriff - Terrye Zaremba will check with the towing company about putting up a sign at the boat ramp regarding towing procedures.

NEW BUSINESS;

Treasure Hunt - Terrye will contact the Calvert Marine Museum about having someone give a talk about fossils at the community sponsored treasure hunt in June. Jim Powell and Charlie Anderson have horseshoe sets they can provide for adults to use.

Biking Path - Tim Grover, of the St. Leonard Vision Group, sent a letter regarding his contacts with the County about putting in more sidewalks. The County responded that funding is not available at this time. Doug Crow pointed out that the County would be more favorable to funding a hiking/biking path that follows the contour of Calvert Beach Road. This would require much less money.

Short Sales/Foreclosure - Terrye noted an increase in short sales and foreclosures in the area. This will obviously impact the CBCA budget (fewer dues paying residents).

Other Issues - There was a discussion about maintenance of the steps at Ave. D. Doug Crow and Jim Powell volunteered to power wash and apply stain or preservative.. In addition, Doug Crow will contact Smeco about installation of a light at the Ave. D stair.

Another issue is that the gate at the boat ramp seems to be rusting and should be painted.

NEXT MEETING: February 21, 2009 at 10:30 AM at the LBCA Community Center.
