DSS HOA - GLCC Resolution
January 11, 2010

The Gude Landfill Concerned Citizens group has been officially set up between the three Derwood Station HOA's. Read the resolution from the DSS Board:

Tri-HOA Committee
 
The Gude Landfill Concerned Citizens (GLCC) is a small group of neighbors who successfully opposed the County’s 2008 plan to relocate the County’s school bus depot to the Gude Landfill. They raised concerns that contamination may have migrated from the landfill and that any construction on the landfill would be a hazard to the adjacent Derwood neighborhood. The GLCC objective was an engineering analysis and remediation for any contamination that had migrated off the landfill site.
 
As a result of the GLCC efforts, the County in 2009 backed away from their school bus depot plan and initiated an engineering study that will determine the nature and extent of contamination that has migrated off the landfill site. The County is doing this at the direction of the State of Maryland, and the study’s results and any corrective actions will be approved by the State of Maryland.
 
During 2010 the GLCC anticipates its activities will be primarily liaison and communications. Any decisions will be directed to the Board of Directors of the 3 neighborhood HOAs – Derwood Station 1, Derwood Station 2 and Derwood Station South.  To reflect this new approach, a change in status is proposed.
 
The GLCC proposes that they become a tri-HOA committee, reporting to all 3 Boards.  They propose that their function be liaison between the HOAs and the County, and that their responsibility be to keep the Derwood HOA Boards informed about what is going on, what is planned, and what solutions are possible. The GLCC feels that this role change is necessary to ensure that neighbors are represented by residents appointed by their elected HOA leaders as the engineering studies are carried out. The following summarizes the proposal.
 
Proposed:

-That the GLCC become a tri-HOA committee whose sole responsibility is liaison and communication with the County;
-That the GLCC focus will be the impact of the Gude Landfill on the Derwood neighborhoods;
-That the GLCC will report to the Boards of Directors of all 3 Derwood HOAs;
-That the GLCC will be composed of volunteers who are members of the Derwood HOAs and are appointed by their Boards;
-That the GLCC will keep the HOA Boards continually informed about County activities at the Gude Landfill that could affect the Derwood neighborhoods;
-That any neighborhood decision/position with respect to the Gude Landfill be made by the respective HOA Boards of Directors.


DSS HOA - GLCC Representatives:

In a separate motion, the DSS HOA Board also appointed current GLCC participants as representatives: Keith Ligon, Nick Radonic, Julia Tillery, Bob Day
