Minutes of Board of Directors Meeting, July 8, 2009

Present: Carole Princer Levy, Carolyn Levy, Barbara Moran, Paul Spindel, Herb Meyers. Also present: Robert Adelson and Linda Berger of Stillman Management.

The meeting was held at the home of Carole Princer Levy. President Carole Levy called the meeting to order at 7:30 PM. The following issues were discussed:

(1) The minutes of the June Board meeting and the minutes of the Annual Meeting were approved unanimously. The Annual Meeting minutes will be mailed to Homeowners and are also available on the Brookridge HOA web site.

(2) The budget was reviewed and discussed. Expenses connected with pool maintenance, including draining and painting the pool, landscaping and other related expenses were slightly over budget.

(3) Repairs to several pieces of pool chaises and chairs will be postponed until the end of the season when repair costs are expected to be lower than during the season.

(4) Rules for opening and closing of the pool gate were discussed. It was decided that the gate will be open when a lifeguard is present, but will be closed when no life guard is at the pool. When no lifeguard is present, single swimmers should always be accompanied by another person. Parents of children are reminded that they are responsible that children will follow pool regulations.

(5) Additional safety equipment was installed at the pool in accordance with new State regulations.

(6) Repairs to the retaining wall behind units 45-54 have been completed.

(7) Landscaper Ron Vitti will be reminded that several dead trees and bushes at Brookridge require replacement.

(8) Verizon Fiberoptics (FiOS) will be installed at Brookridge for optional connection to Homeowners who desire this service. Date of installation to be determined.

(9) The functioning of the main gate was discussed. The current opening system is considered to be difficult at times. Eastco, the current operating company, explained that parts for this system are difficult to obtain. Stillman Management is investigating alternatives, including the possibility of replacing the gate with another system.

The meeting was adjourned at approximately 8:30.

Respectfully submitted,

Herb Meyers, Secretary
