The Mayfield Improvement Association’s goals are to “promote, maintain and develop the general welfare of the residents, property and improvements” of Mayfield. Specifically, the association’s job is to make sure that zoning and other Baltimore city laws affecting Mayfield are followed, and to ensure that Mayfield remains primarily a residential development.
Further, the Association is responsible for organizing such neighborhood events as the annual Mayfield Summer Block Party, Fall Fest, community yard sale, tour of homes, and holiday decoration contest. Annual membership dues are $20, ($10 for households headed by someone 62 or over) and are used to help finance community events, association meetings, the Mayfield News, and neighborhood improvements.
The Mayfield Improvement Association’s Board of Directors meets once a month. Officers are elected for a two-year term.
Board committees are: Zoning/Housing, Parks/Streams/Medians, Police & Community Relations, Welcoming, Nominating, Mayfield News, Social Activities, Communication & Distribution, and various ad-hoc committees. Each board member is expected to chair one to two committees. Volunteers for committees, projects and board participation are welcome.
