Maintenance and Improvements - The HSIA Board has approved a $49,004 contract with Grass Roots Landscaping to refurbish the parking lot and replace the piling fence. The parking area will be regraded and defined with perimeter timbers, and will be topped with new gravel. The new parking lot will feature two systems to collect and filter storm water from the drainage trench at Hillsmere Drive, under the parking lot, to the swale in the lawn. The piling fence around the parking lot will be replaced after completion of the lot construction, and will have thick, marine rope, rather than cables. Work will begin after permits are obtained by the contractor. Hillsmere Beach Happy Hours 2009 - The Beach Committee will be sponsoring community Happy Hours each month throughout the summer on Fridays - June 12, July 10, and August 14 from 5 pm to 8 pm at our community beach and park. Come join your neighbors and enjoy this beautiful facility! We will supply the hot dogs, hot dog buns, condiments, hot grills, paper plates, napkins, soft drinks and coolers full of ice. You bring a plate of Happy Hour style food to share, some folding lawn chairs and your favorite adult beverage. So put it on your calendar and plan to be there. If you would like to help with or plan future community Happy Hours, please contact Kate Penn or Noel Gasparin.

And with the warmer weather, many children will be riding their bikes around the community. As a reminder to them and to their parents, state law requires all children age 16 and under wear a bicycle helmet when operating, or riding as a passenger, on a bicycle. For the safety of the children, please make sure they wear their helmets! Good Neighbors Program - Do you know of someone who could use a helping hand? It might be a neighbor and it might be you. The contribution could be as simple as moving something heavy, replacing the batteries in a smoke alarm or offering an unneeded item to someone who will use it. You can be on the giving or receiving end of the process. Let us know. Call HSIA at 410-263-4456 today or send an email to request or offer help. Homestead Tax Credit - Enclosed with your new tax assessments is an application for Homestead Tax Credit Eligibility. The Homestead Tax Credit law limits the amount of assessment increase on which eligible resident homeowners actually pay county, municipal, and state property taxes each year. In other words, it keeps your real estate taxes from going up too fast. If your property in Hillsmere is your primary residence, not rented to someone else, then you MUST file this form in order to get the tax credit. You can mail in the form or do it online at www.dat.state.md.us. If you have a specific question concerning the application, you may call 410-767-2165 in the Baltimore metropolitan area or 1-866-650-8783 toll free elsewhere in Maryland.
