However, we do post the planned budget for the following year in the Annual Meeting Agenda and Minutes.
9. Have you seen mopeds / knee bikes / dirt bikes in the neighborhood? Per Maryland law, anything driven on Maryland roads needs to be tagged and insured with a licensed driver. If you see someone riding a moped / knee bike / dirt bike that is NOT tagged, please contact the St. Mary’s County Sherriff’s Department non-emergency line. Also, if you are able to determine who the person is, please let the BOD know so we may follow up with the homeowner to resolve. As you may recall, per our governing documents, dirt bikes are not allowed in the neighborhood.
10. Is there a loose animal or an animal that is using the bathroom in your yard? Contact Animal Control. Also, please email the BOD so we may follow up with the homeowner to resolve.
11. Have you seen a sinkhole in the neighborhood? Contact St. Mary’s County Department of Public Works either via phone or select the 311 link on the website to report the location of the issue.
12. Notice someone dumping something in the storm drains? There is absolutely no dumping anything down the storm drains for any reason. This creates costly repairs (READ: Special Assessments) as the storm drains empty directly into the storm water management ponds in the Neighborhood. No grass clippings, grease, waste, trash, etc. – nothing should be dumped into the storm drains. If you see someone dumping anything in a storm drain, please contact the BOD immediately.
