Jim Ackerman then asked Gail Mazzocco to report on the results of the election and also the by-law change. She reported that there were 207 yes votes for the slate, 1 no vote and 11 abstentions. On the by-law change there were 205 yes votes, 7 no votes and 7 abstentions. In addition there were 11 ballots with no lot numbers so that those votes could not be counted. It was noted that Peter Thomas has been elected to the FHA Board. Jim congratulated Peter.

Jim Ackerman then thanked the various volunteers who assist the FHA in carrying out the many services provided to the community. He then presented a special award to Don Reilly who will be leaving the Village. This was a way of showing the community’s appreciation for his many years of service.

Resident input involved the exact location of Beaver Pond, what decision had been made about Fearrington Place, what residents would be using the mailboxes at the new Millcroft kiosk, and whether the FHA Board had the legal authority to enforce covenants. The exact location of Beaver Pond was described, concerning Fearrington Place efforts to block that development had failed but the view was that it might be a considerable period of time before a developer could be found to develop that area. As to the Millcroft kiosk residents on Langdon and Bradford are already using that facility. Yes the FHA now has the authority to enforce covenants.

There being no further business the meeting was adjourned at 6:45 P.M.

Respectfully submitted.


Leonard T. Kreisman, Secretary
