Correspondence and Resident Participation:

Correspondence: None

Resident Participation: Resident Gina Stacy noted that Trustee Greg Fown was
omitted from the Trustees listed in the last newsletter. Secretary Snell apologized
for the error and noted that it would be corrected in future publications.

Resident Gina Stacy complained about the decision of the President not to
appoint Richard Biggs as Trustee to fill the vacant position in CWCA Area 9.
President Comanita explained the process, including her poll of the Trustees, in
regard to the appointment and noted even if she had appointed Mr. Biggs the
Trustees would not have approved the appointment as required by the bylaws.

Resident Gina Stacy contended that there must be an active trustee from each
Area of the CWCA for it to properly function. President Comanita pointed out to
Mrs. Stacy that the CWCA had functioned for years with less than a full
complement of Trustees and this argument was somewhat of a surprise since it had
never been raised before to her knowledge.

Resident Gene Bednarski inquired who authorized the spending of CWCA
dues for litigation. Secretary Snell replied that the minutes of the Trustees
authorizing all expenditures are on the web site or if one does not have web access
the Secretary will mail any resident a copy of the Minutes upon request.

Resident Karen Edwards addressed the meeting and stated that Chevington Woods
was a joke among area realtors. Mrs. Edwards referred to set back violations, sheds
and etc. which provoked a long discussion on past deed restriction violations.
President Comanita responded that the current Trustees were simply attempting to
apply the current deed restrictions as advised by counsel as appropriate under the
existing laws in the State of Ohio.

Resident Ted Stacy rose to announce that he was giving his five minutes of
resident participation to his wife Gina. President Comanita did not object.


Resident Gina Stacy rose to review the June 1991 cancellation of the Articles
of Incorporation, the authority of the Trustees pursuant to the Bylaws of the
Association among other things. She threatened the current trustees that if
they did not resign by November 1, 2006 that she would file a lawsuit against each
of them personally.

Resident Estalene Newell rose to advise that she had been cited for a yard
light violation. She stated the light was now working OK. She noted a camper was
brought home because it was broken into. She also complained that children were
running through her yard looking for deed restriction violations.


Resident Elizabeth Hamilton rose to complain that she had fixed the yard light
at her home before she received the citation from the CWCA. President Comanita
apologized for the citation and explained that the surveys of yard lights had been
conducted over a period of days and it was only when it had been out for some time
that a citation had been issued. She thanked Mrs. Hamilton for correcting the deed
restriction violation.

Resident Kelly Schafer rose to complain the yard light rule was not being
followed. She stated her family might move because of neighbor fighting neighbor
and deed restrictions.

At this point in the meeting residents Oron Schuss and Mark Anctil led other
residents in a verbal barrage of insults toward the officers at the dais. Oron Schuss
and Mark Anctil shouted, “Nazis, Gestapo, Hitler’s daughter” and other defamatory
comments at the President and officers as they rushed the dais.

Resident Anctil demanded that Officer Ted Stacy of the Columbus Police
Department, who was in uniform and wearing a weapon, arrest resident Mike
Chizmar, who did nothing provocative, but happen to be in the path of Mr. Anctil as
he was charging about the room.

Meanwhile, during the verbal melee, VP Don Roeder moved the meeting be
adjourned and the motion was duly seconded. The Chair called for a vote and the
“ayes” were noted in favor. No votes opposed to the motion were heard when called
for.

The meeting was adjourned at 8:05 p.m.

Respectfully submitted,

Will Snell, Secretary
