Ø          Attached

President’s Report:

By Roger Nicholson:

Ø          Roger advised that we are receiving more work orders monthly than in the past.

Ø          Roger advised that residents are calling multiple times within minutes rather than leaving messages and calling to check on work orders within 2 days. This is causing a larger workload in the office.  Roger asked that residents please have a little patience.

Ø          No report at this time

 

Committee Reports:

Ø          Anna Yurko, Pool Committee reported that when the pool was closed over the weekend, residents entered the pool through the bathrooms even though there were signs up advising the pool was closed.  Anna suggested the Board institute a policy to prevent a recurrence.  Peter Sgaramella will speak to Anna and bring a recommendation to the Board.

Residents’ Comments/Business:

Ø          Ed Sherman of 19 Andover Court advised that his wife was stung numerous times by wasps, he called maintenance and never received a call back.  It took a second call in order to get maintenance there to spray. 

Ø          Carmella Illiano of 17-C Belmont Court advised she is having problems with her unit flooding due to the upstairs unit. 

Ø          Joyce Pfeiffer of 30 Dickinson Court questioned why there will be no paving or garage doors done in 2007.  Roger Nicholson advised these expenditures are funded out of the Replacement Fund and due to the extra expenses with roofing this year we had to delay those projects by 1 year as not to let the fund go negative down the road.  Joyce questioned whether the new garbage company would be as accommodating as maintenance was.  Dan Cavalli advised that they would be as long as residents do not push the limit.  Joyce questioned whether we get reimbursed from the town for garbage pick-up.  Roger Nicholson advised there is a separate line on tax bills for garbage, Shadow Lake residents do not have this separate line.

Ø          Al Zaleski of 20 Falmouth Court questioned if Security is letting residents in the right side of the gate without bar codes.  Dan Cavalli advised that he enforced the rule with Marion that we are not allowing cars without bar codes in the right side.  Al asked if we are enforcing all residents having bar codes.  Cathleen Sullivan advised that it is up to each individual as to whether or not they want the bar code.

Ø          Don Backer of 14 Rutland Court advised the Board that Down To Earth has volcano mulched the trees and he would like it taken care of as it is unhealthy for the tree.  Dan Cavalli advised he has spoken to Down To Earth and they will take care of it.  Don left literature about volcano mulching for the Board to review.

Ø          Bruce Fowler of 25 Andover Court reiterated what Don Backer said about volcano mulching.

 

Trustee Reports:
