Tim said that the Crozet Board of Trade will make a donation to us to pull CIDC out of red and allow us to make donations to civic groups from this year’s CIDC donations and still have enough funds for the fireworks deposit next month and start-up expenses for the 2024 CIDC.

Albemarle County Police Department (ACPD) may visit and give an update. (Evening Patrol Division)
Officer Matt Middleton joined the meeting at 8:00 PM

Presentation:  Crozet Leadership Team (Bill O’Malley and Ron Wade).  This team is an organization of an home owners associations (HOA) officer from the different HOAs in the Crozet community. Their aim is to be non-partisan and to encourage their residents to get involved in Crozet.   They know they walk in the footsteps of other Crozet organizations like the CCA and the Crozet Board of Trade.  They held a very successful candidates forum at the Field School with an overflow crowd.  There was a good interaction between their organization and the CCA.  Their addition will be good for the Crozet community.

Update and news from Ann Mallek, our county supervisor.  Ann Mallek spoke about the Board of Supervisors (BOS) looking at the existing community master plans as part of AC44.  Crozet Master Plan has no surprises. She emphasized that all citizens need to be careful and be safe with holidays coming up.

 Old  Business:

  • Muff Biber made a motion at the September 14th CCA meeting:
