As announced previously, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the 2021 Annual Meeting of the Clifton Crest Homeowners Association will be held virtually via Zoom. The meeting is Tuesday, January 12th, 2021 from 7:30 to 8:30. Here is the Zoom link for the Clifton Crest HOA 2021 Annual Meeting. If necessary, you can manually enter the Meeting ID 865 8727 8065. Our Community Manager Ingrid Ketterman will act as Zoom host and regulate access to the meeting.

It is absolutely vital that you send in your signed proxy form so that we can achieve the legally required quorum to hold the meeting. You need to send in a proxy even if you plan to attend the meeting via Zoom. Basic services like trash collection and snow removal depend on being able to continue the governance of the HOA. Also note that this year there are two vacancies on the HOA Board – volunteers are needed to fill these vacancies.

Please download the proxy form, print it out, complete and sign the form. Then take a clear, well-lit photo of the form with your mobile device, and email the photo to our community manager, Ingrid Ketterman, at iketterman@capitolcorp.com.

All homeowners should have received a packet via U.S. Mail with official notice and details of the meeting. Here are the cover letter, agenda, and draft minutes of the 2020 meeting that were included in that packet.

The Clifton Crest Homeowners Association will hold its Annual Meeting on Tuesday, Jan 12th, 2021, from 7:30 pm to 8:30 pm. The meeting will be entirely virtual and conducted via Zoom. Ingrid Ketterman, our Community Manager, will serve as the Zoom host and control entry to the meeting. Further details will be provided as they become available and will be included with written notice mailed to every homeowner.

Changes in Virginia law now allow for homeowners associations to have official meetings that are entirely virtual – no physical attendance at any location required. This is a special emergency provision that applies only when the Governor of Virginia has declared an emergency, as is the case presently due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Accordingly, plans are being made for the next Annual Meeting of the Clifton Crest HOA to be conducted virtually, most likely using Zoom. This meeting will be held in early January but the date and other details have yet to be determined. Details will be posted as they are determined. Homeowners will still receive written notice of the meeting via U.S. mail.

For more information about the changes to the law, please see this very helpful law firm blog post.

Clifton Crest’s HOA Board President Jeffrey Dunn has given notice that he has resigned from the Board due to the fact that he and his wife are moving out of the area. On behalf of the entire community, we would like to thank him for years of dedicated service. During his tenure we have had financial stability, improving property values, and a pleasant and safe family-friendly community. Jeff has always advocated ruling in favor of residents and avoiding the excesses and rigidity for which many HOAs are known.

Jeff’s departure leaves an immediate opening on the HOA Board. The HOA Board conducts nearly all of its business via email and due to the small size of the community the volume of activity is relatively light. If you would like to volunteer to serve on the Clifton Crest HOA Board, please contact our Community Manager, Ingrid Ketterman at iketterman@capitolcorp.com. Formal election of HOA Board members will occur at the HOA Annual Meeting in January, but a volunteer can serve in an interim capacity until then.
