Treasurer’s Report: Treasurer Mark Briggs was absent. Reports of Committees: There were no Standing Committee or Ad Hoc Committee reports. Unfinished Business: 1. Auditing Committee – Chairperson Squier noted that she had picked up the financial records from former Treasurer Hartley and would host a meeting of the Committee at her residence. The Auditing Committee set a meeting date for October 22, 2003 at the residence of Chairperson Squier. 2. Office of Treasurer: President Comanita reported to the Trustees that she had sent a letter via USPS to Treasurer Mark Briggs setting forth his failure to attend Trustee meetings, to acquire the CWCA financial records and to demonstrate any effort whatsoever in performing the duties of his office. She noted there was no response to the letter or emails previously sent to him and that her letter noted that if he did not respond he would be considered as having voluntarily resigning the office of Treasurer. Trustee Hartley made a motion, which was duly seconded, that Treasurer Briggs be removed from office for failure to perform the duties of the office. The motion was duly seconded and passed without dissent. The President then called for a special election to fill the vacant office of Treasurer. Trustee Squier nominated Trustee Roeder for the office of Treasurer. The President called for other nominations. After hearing none, Trustee Snell moved the nominations be closed and that Trustee Roeder be elected by acclamation. The motion was duly seconded and passed without dissent. Thereafter, President Comanita noted that since Trustee Briggs had not indicated any intent to participate in the business of the CWCA, she was removing him from the Deed Restriction Committee. President Comanita then asked for a replacement Deed Restriction Committee member nominee from the Trustees present. Hearing none, President Comanita reduced the Deed Restriction Committee to the four remaining members. New Business: 1. Trustee Constituents List: Trustee Hartley made a motion that the Trustees be furnished a list of resident’s names and addresses residing in their respective areas via USPS.

Secretary Snell made a motion that Trustee Ross invite Mr. Fisher to attend a meeting of the CWCA Trustees and address the current situation with the Chevington Pool. The motion was duly seconded and passed without dissent. 3. Recognition of Volunteer Service: Secretary Snell noted that Chevington Woods residents Len Hritzo and Paul Grubb had faithfully donated their time and effort for some seventeen (17) years to maintain the street and entrance lights of Chevington Woods.
