Carolina Forest President’s Report May 13, 2011
	1.      We hired Mike Fesperman of New London to fill the vacant maintenance position.  Please welcome Mike as you see him about the association   2.   April 25th was the deadline for interested Board of Director candidates to file a statement of candidacy at the CFA office.  We have three candidates running for the two vacancies being filled.  Please do your share by voting, either absentee before June 3rd, or in person at the Saturday, June 4th election meeting.  Good luck to the candidates, and thanks to all of you for taking an interest in our community.   3.   On April 7th, the Montgomery County Health Department cited the CFA campground for not discharging “all wastewater directly to an approved wastewater system permitted for that specific use”.  As a result, all campers were required to immediately disconnect all holding tank discharge hoses, and to sign an agreement that they will comply with all State and county wastewater rules.  An inspection by the County on May 2nd verified that all campers currently in use have been connected to commercially manufactured wastewater tanks, and that all campers have been disconnected from their water supply (campers must store and use water only from a self-contained water storage tank, and not directly from a water source to preclude backflow).  Additionally, the County reviewed the campground agreement indicating that campers must use these portable tanks to dispose of all wastewater in the dump station at the campground.  The campground is now considered in compliance with the applicable laws and rules referenced in the April 7th Notice of Violation.   4.   In our ongoing efforts to keep CFA fees as low as possible, we have turned property owners delinquent in paying their fees over to a collection lawyer.  Once an account is accepted by the collection folks, CFA is out of the collection process, and all payments must be made through the collection lawyer.   5.   Don’t forget to vote.
