Have you considered volunteering your time on behalf of your community? The current two-year terms of office for three Village Board seats expire on April 30, 2019. Village Board members attend one meeting a month where they oversee village finances, advise and take action on such matters as street and house maintenance, and advocate for changes that will benefit Harper's Choice. The nomination period runs from March 1 - March 14, 2019. Information and nomination petitions will be available at Kahler Hall and for download on our website at www.harpershoice.org on March 1; a maximum 150-word CANDIDATE'S STATEMENT is due at Kahler Hall by 5:00 pm on March 14. The STATEMENTS may be emailed to manager@harperschoice.org, preferably in a MS Word document. For more information, contact Village Manager Steve Ingley at 410-730-0770 or via
email.

SNOW INFO YOU SHOULD KNOW:
HCCA INCLEMENT WEATHER CLOSING: Harper's Choice Community Association does not follow Howard County school closings; we evaluate local weather conditions and monitor County, State and Federal closings. Every attempt will be made to open as soon as it is safe to do so and staff can make their way in to work. We will put weather-related closings on our website and Facebook page.
MOVE CARS OFF PUBLIC STREETS: When a substantial snowfall event is planned, please move all cars into driveways so plows can clear the streets curb to curb.
DO NOT PARK ALONG CUL-DE-SAC ISLANDS: Plows can only clear your circle if there is enough room for them to turn and room to push the snow. Park in your driveway or garage when snow is predicted.
UNCOVER STORM DRAIN INLETS: If melting snow has no place to drain, it can cause street icing and flooding.
CLEAR THE SIDEWALKS: The owner of property abutting a sidewalk is required to remove snow from the sidewalk within 48 hours after the snow has fallen (Howard County Code). This includes public sidewalks that are adjacent to your property or behind your property.
