Administration Report:

By Richard Carpenter:

Ø     Residents were advised to fill out or update Snowbird forms in the Administration Office before leaving for the winter.

Ø     Residents leaving for the winter should not prepay their assessments without new coupons.  Direct debit is also a good option for paying assessments.  Coupons will be sent out in the next couple of weeks.

Committee Reports:

Ø     Anna Yurko, Pool Committee Chairperson, recommended that unless we can conform to rules and regulations, guest fees for the pool should remain at current dollar amounts or be removed entirely.

 

Residents’ Comments/Business:

 

Ø     Katsy Willey advised that the Pet Club donated $200 to the Association to use as they see fit.

Ø     Marge Seufert, of 26 Western Reach, feels that trash bins should be cleaned by the Maintenance Department.  Her bins are in an inconvenient location.  Jim Sullivan advised that bins are residents’ responsibility as far as cleanliness.  Maintenance will repair any boxes if necessary.  Jim will check the area and try to determine a more convenient location.

Ø     Cathleen Sullivan recommends dividers be installed in multiple unit garbage bins.  Jim Sullivan will take this into consideration.  Residents are advised to submit a work order to have bins cleaned.

Ø     Arthur Lindsay would like his parking space to remain as marked in a common area space.  Walter Lohmann advised that parking spaces are mandated by the Master Deed for the Association.  Association policy is to bring incorrectly marked spaces into close conformance with the Master Deed when brought to the attention of the BOT.  Michael Weber, of 21 Hancock Court, suggested that an attempt should be made to change the Master Deed for Mr. Lindsay’s space.  Mr. Lindsay was advised to submit a letter requesting change before Board can consider it.

Ø     Kitty Pease advised that she is upset with muddy areas forming on sidewalks.  Jim Sullivan advised that work should be done shortly to relieve this problem.  Kevin Byrne advised that $40,000 worth of concrete is scheduled to be done to include this work.
