2024 Annual Meeting 1/29 7pm

The Clifton Crest Homeowners Association will have its Annual Meeting on Monday, January 29th at 7pm. This will be a virtual meeting conducted via Zoom. Here is the Zoom link: Clifton Crest 2024 Annual Meeting.

Clifton Crest is served by a five-person Board of Directors. This meeting provides an opportunity to meet neighbors, elect (3) three new members, discuss issues pertaining to the community and hear reports on the past year’s activities as well as plans for the coming year.

This legally required meeting cannot take place unless we achieve a quorum. Critical services such as trash pickup and snow removal cannot occur without a function HOA Board. Please print out this 2024 Clifton Crest Annual Meeting Proxy Form and complete and sign the form. You may fill out the form however you wish, but the simplest option is to check the ‘for quorum purposes only’ box. Take a clear, well-lit photo of the form with your phone and email it to Ingrid Ketterman (iketterman@capitolcorp.com), our community manager. Because this is a virtual meeting,we need your proxy even if you are planning to attend the meeting.

For your reference, here is the Agenda for the 2024 Meeting as well as the Minutes of the 2023 Meeting. Also, here is a copy of the official meeting notice letter that was sent by U.S. Mail to every homeowner.

We look forward to seeing you at the meeting. Every effort will be made to move the meeting along quickly and not take up more of your time than is necessary.

Annual Meeting Monday, Jan 23rd

The Clifton Crest HOA will hold its annual meeting Monday, January 23rd, at 7:00 pm. The meeting will be conducted virtually using this Zoom link. This meeting is required by law and is necessary for the HOA to continue to operate. There is one HOA Board position up for a vote this year. We will also be discussing how best to make use of the $115,ooo (potentially more) of income that we expect to receive from VDOT’s taking of some HOA land for the widening of Route 29.

This required meeting cannot take place unless we have a quorum. Each year we come close to not having the required number of attendees or proxies. Because this is a virtual meeting, we need proxies even for those who do plan to attend the meeting. Please print and fill out this very simple proxy form. All homeowners should have received a copy in the mail a few weeks ago. Mark the third option ‘for quorum purposes only’, write in your address and sign. Take a clear picture in good light of the completed form with your mobile device and email it to our property manager, Ingrid Ketterman, at iketterman@capitolcorp.com. Thank You!

SEND IN A PROXY FORM.  Your proxy will allow us to achieve the legally required quorum to conduct business even if you will not be attending the meeting. It is also needed if your are attending the meeting.  Download the form, print it, fill out (very easy) and sign.

Annual Meeting Jan 12th

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.

Virtual HOA Annual Meeting

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.

Thank You Jeff Dunn

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.

Look for additional posts with more information about the HOA Board vacancy and the HOA Annual Meeting in the near future.

Update – Annual Meeting Jan 28, 2020

Further details including the agenda and a proxy form can be found in the 2020 Annual Meeting Packet.

This is your chance to discuss HOA matters and make your voice heard. This is also an opportunity to meet your HOA Board members and run for a seat on the Board if you wish.

Homeowners are encouraged to attend in person. If you will not be attending the meeting, please complete a proxy form and give it to a Board member or another person who will be attending the meeting. We must have sufficient attendance in person or by proxy to establish a quorum in order to hold the meeting.
