An association member raised concerns about goose droppings around Whittier Lake.  The resident was advised to call the City of Frederick since the lake is city property.

A resident questioned the presence of “Village Market” signage in two areas:  at the main Whittier sign and also at the Rocky Springs Road entrance to Whittier.  The Board urged residents to contact the City of Frederick - Code Enforcement with concerns regarding signage.

A resident asked if our “NAC” was still active.  Board member Josh Bokee, who holds a leadership role in our NAC (NAC-1), assured the audience that the NAC is still effective, meeting the first Wednesday of each month at 7:00 PM.  He also provided a brief overview.
