Important Pool Info
All residents must bring an upto-date 3”x5” picture that includes all family members to
the pool for admittance. The
picture will be matched with
information in our database.
Make sure to take the time to review the pool rules
printed in the May issue of the Chantilly Highlander
with your children, especially if you have older children that may be allowed to enter the pool without
parental supervision. You can review the rules on
our website at www.chha.org under the Pool Opening Info section. Remind your children that the pool
guards have the authority to eject residents for the
day, and even suspend pool privileges for the duration of the pool season if warranted.
The pool hours are posted on the calendar on page
4 of this issue.
The pool concessions contract was awarded to
Cindy Nichols. Remember to bring coin and small
currency to the pool if you plan on purchasing
snacks during breaks.
Enjoy, but be safe!

Chantilly Highlands Homes Association
Board of Directors Meeting
Thursday, May 5, 2005
Submitted by: Mary Kerr
Minutes are tentative and will be reviewed and approved at the
upcoming Board of Directors meeting.
Board Attendees: Jeff Boehlert, Debbie Bowen, Jim Ceh,
Mark Hassinger, Mary Kerr, Karen McGreevy,
Wendy Osborn, Chris Tacinelli and Darin Welt.
Absent Board Attendees: None.
Home Owner Attendees: Two residents.
The Chantilly Highlands Homes Association Meeting was
called to order at 7:36 PM by President, Jim Ceh.
Meeting Minutes: The April Minutes were reviewed and
accepted with one correction. Cathe Hargenrader’s
name was misspelled.
Architectural Control: Mark Hassinger made a Motion to
appoint Cindy DiPalma to the ACC Committee. Chris
Tacinelli seconded. All approved. Cindy was welcomed by all.
Long Range Planning: Mary Kerr presented the topics
that are to be discussed at tonight’s meeting as well as
what information should be included in the upcoming
Newsletter. The planning calendar will be emailed to
all board members.
The community center parking lot is scheduled to be resurfaced between May 10 and May 15. The edges of
the lot will be milled, cracks will be filled in, the entire
lot paved and striped.
Treasurer's Report: Chris Tacinelli reported that 20
homes still owe their assessment dues and these residents will not be permitted to use the pool, community
center, or participate in any other subdivision activities
until their assessments are paid. Chris has either contacted each homeowner either by phone or email.
Twenty-five thousand dollars has been budgeted to cover
major expenses this year, however, we will actually
spend $44,000. The remaining $19,000 will be taken
from reserves.
The auditor has reviewed the CHHA accounting books
and has approved. Money is currently in two accounts
at one local bank – money market and checking account. The auditor suggested that the reserve funds be
separated out and placed in another bank. This will
help keep the accounting clean and also provide protection of the funds if a bank would close.
Community Events: The community yard sale was held
on Saturday, April 30th even though it was dampened
with rain. Due to the rain and low turn-out, residents
suggested that a “rain date” be set for future yard sales.
There was no recollection of there being a rain date in
the past. The Social Committee meeting at the Community Center will be held on Wednesday, May 18th at 7
p.m. to discuss/plan Community Day, and Teen Party.
Everyone is invited.
Community Facilities: The pool opening is on schedule
and will open in three weeks. The furniture was inspected and thoughts are that additional furniture will
not be needed this season. The Rolodex system will be
used again this pool season. Community Facilities and
the Guards ask that you be patient as each person’s
name is looked up for confirmation that they are a resident and in good standing with the CHHA Bylaws and
Covenants.
Cindy Nichols won the snack provider contract for this
pool season. The Guards will be selling the snack items
during break time and ask that you use small bills and
coins.
Pool companies were contacted about inspecting all the
pool equipment this spring and have them provide a
recommendation of what needs to be upgraded/repaired
over the next couple of years based on wear and tear
and Fairfax County requirements. The consensus was
that there is really no way to check the equipment for
life expectancy and if something should break, it should
only take one to two days to repair.
The tennis courts are in the process of being resurfaced.
The courts are useable for tennis play, however, bicycles, skateboards, roller blades, etc. are not permissible.
Once the surface is cured, the lines will be painted and
fence repaired. Caution tape will be placed around the
tennis court area to discourage use by articles that could
damage the resurfacing process.
Land Management: Mowing of the common areas has
begun, and several residents have asked about mowing
of the gas lines by CHHA since the utility companies
seldom come to mow. Currently all common ground
that has street access is maintained by the Association.
There are two large gas lines in this community. Mark
Hassinger made the Motion to have Wendy Osborn contact Palmer Property Management to retrieve a bid of
what it would cost to cut these two gas lines and how
often they should be cut. Mary Kerr seconded. Motion
carried.
Neighborhood Watch: Officer Barrington and Officer
See BOARD MINUTES on Page 3
June 2005
Page 3
BOARD MINUTES from page 2
Twombly of the Fairfax County Police Department
came this evening to train residents and discuss
Neighborhood Watch. Attendance was very disappointing because only two residents attended.
National Night Out is scheduled for Tuesday, August 2nd.
This is an evening block party held throughout the
country. A suggestion was made that this could be a
way to get information out about Neighborhood Watch.
It was also suggested that we could incorporate this into
our Community Day when attendance is high.
Due to the recent drug arrest of a non-CHHA resident on
Scotsmore, and needles and drug paraphernalia being
found on the bike path near McLearan and Cobra, police bike patrol will increase in this area. Parents are
asked to talk to your children about not handling any
items they may find on these paths, being approached
by anyone selling drugs and to notify police of immediately if this occurs.
Architectural Control: The Board is planning to walk the
neighborhood this fall to look for homes that are not in
compliance with the ACC Guidelines, Bylaws and
Covenants. A revised ACC Guideline book is in review and will be printed and mailed to the residents
soon.
Newsletter: Nothing to report at this time.
Old Business: Discussion was postponed regarding upgrading the current insurance concerns brought up at
the last meeting.
There have been some problems arising from Verizon
being in the neighborhood. Contact numbers were in
the May Newsletter if residents have experienced any
problems.
New Business: The land owned by EDS that is being
proposed to be developed will be meeting in June with
the County. The community and the Board will want to
attend future planning and development meetings with
the County.
Adjournment: Chris Tacinelli made a Motion to adjourn
the meeting and Jeff Boehlert Seconded. The Board
approved and the meeting adjourned at 9:15 p.m.

LICENSED & INSURED
Remodeling Contract Provisions
By Carla Abbud
Once you have picked a remodeler, no work should begin
until you have a written contract that spells out the details of
your project.
What are some of the typical provisions remodeling contracts include?
•The remodeling company’s legal name and the name it is
operating or “doing business as” (if the two are different),
street address, telephone number, and license number.
•A detailed written and visual representation - blueprint,
floor plan, sketches, product photographs - that both states,
and depicts, what the remodeler will do and where.
•The timetable for the project, including approximate
start and completion dates.
•The price and progress
payment schedule. Payments
are usually tied to the satisfactory completion of a certain
construction phase and the
passing of building inspections
for that phase, if applicable. A
hefty deposit is generally not
required if a contractor is solvent and reliable.
•Detailed specifications for
all products and materials. The description of each item
should provide enough detail to clearly identify it, such as
the brand name, model number, color, and size. This section
of the contract may also describe any materials to be selected later, who will choose them, and the amount of money
(called an allowance) set aside to pay for each item.
•Information on who will obtain and pay for necessary
permits and other approvals. Generally, the contractor
should obtain permits in his name so that that the contractor,
not the homeowner, is responsible for any building code
violations.
•Insurance information. It is a good idea to list the contractor’s workers’ compensation and liability insurance information in the contract, or to attach it as an exhibit. The
issuing insurance company’s name, policy number, policy
effective dates, types and limits of coverage are all listed on
a Certificate of Insurance routinely providing by the contractor’s insurance broker. You will want to check the policy
effective dates to ensure that it covers the time frame when
your project will be built. You can also ask to be listed as an
“additional insured” on the contractor’s policy for the duraSee REMODELING on page 7

tion of the project. Talk to your own insurance agent about
this issue if you have questions.
•The procedures for handling change orders.
•Lien releases to ensure that you are not held liable for
any claims of nonpayment by the contractor to subcontractors and suppliers.
•Waiver of liability. Reputable contractors should be
willing to state in writing that their company specifically
exempts the homeowner from liability for any injury sustained by any employee or subcontractor of the company
during the course of the project, and that the contractor will
indemnify and defend the homeowner against all such
claims.

•Provisions for conflict resolution in the event of a contract dispute.
•Details on issues like access to your home, care of the
premises, phone and bathroom use, cleanup, trash removal,
and repair of disturbed landscaping.

•Warranty information. Most remodelers offer some
Excellent references throughout Chantilly
Highlands and Franklin Farm
form of written warranty. Many builders back their own
warranties on workmanship and materials, typically for one
year. Others offer warranties backed by an insurance company. Also, some warranties for things such as roofing,
windows, and doors, may be provided by the manufacturer.
Distinguish between the different types of warranties and
list them in your contract.
•Once you have read your contract carefully, review it
with your remodeler to clarify any wording you do not understand.

•If you still have questions after this meeting, you should
discuss them with your attorney. When all your questions
have been answered, you're ready to sign the contract.

birds. Avoid handling any dead animal
with bare hands. Correctly dispose of a dead bird by
double-bagging it and placing it in the garbage. Report it
at 703-246-2300 or www.fairfaxcounty.gov/fightthebite.
You will be asked to provide your name, phone number,
date and location found, and type/description of the bird.
You can also help by eliminating mosquito breeding sites
of standing water. Protect yourself by wearing mosquito
repellent containing DEET when outdoors.
Children should be reminded to
always wear bike helmets, stay
hydrated during the warm
weather, especially if playing
sports, and to avoid other dangers such as
wild animals, reptiles, and unknown objects.

Watch Out For Children
NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH
Our children might not always remember to look for
cars when crossing the
street. Drive carefully, and
remember that our speed
limit is 25 mph.
CRIME & INCIDENTS REPORT
No incidents to report.
You can view crime and incident reports on the
internet at www.co.fairfax.va.us/ps/police/
police7.htm.
Although drugs have not been a major issue in this community, we have had reports of drug paraphernalia found on the bike
path near McLearen Road and Cobra Drive. There has also been
one drug arrest on Scotsmore Drive. This arrest involved a subject who was not a resident of Chantilly Highlands. The police
are aware of the situation and are following up on the information and reports. Parents are asked to talk to their children about
not handling any items they may find on these paths, and if approached by a stranger to advise their parents, who should report
it to the police. The non-emergency police phone number is 703691-2131. If at all possible report it in a timely matter so an officer might be able to catch someone.
With summer approaching there is typically an increase in
criminal/mischievous activity. Remember to report any suspicious persons, vehicles, or activities to the police. Bring your
cell phone when you take your evening walks with your neighbor
or with the dog. Program the police non-emergency number
(703-691-2131) into your cell phone. For emergencies or crimes
occurring, call 911—remember as much information as possible,
but do not intervene.
