Minutes: The Minutes of the Board of Directors meeting of April 26th, 2011 were unanimously approved and posted.
Budget: The HOA budget and financial report were discussed. The closing accounts as of April 30th, 2011, were as follows:
Cash account: $36,501.84
Capital account: $193.263.92
Unit #16: As payments of maintenance, late fees and legal expenses relating to this unit continue to be a problem, legal proceedings in behalf of Brookridge HOA were discussed. Meanwhile small claims court proceedings to collect the money owed to the HOA have been initiated.
Landscaping: Various landscaping issues were discussed, including
(1) Reseeding along the curbs, reparation of damaged sprinkler heads and some electrical work resulting from the installation of the Belgian Block curbs, have been completed.
(2) Landscaping issues at the upper end of Brookridge, including cleaning and replacing trees, plants and bushes by Ron Vitti Turf & Landscaping, Inc. will proceed as soon as weather conditions will improve.
(3) To avoid sprinklers to be functioning while it is raining, the Board has approved the installation of rain detectors at both ends of Brookridge. These will automatically turn off the sprinklers during periods of rain, thus saving costs for water usage,
(4) Following the completion of road pavement, speed bumps will be reinstalled shortly.
Swimming Pool: In preparation for the Memorial Day opening of the swimming pool, a number of tasks have been completed, or are currently going on. This includes repairs and painting of the entire pool, installation of a new pump and a new waterline, replacement of electrical lines and a cracked pipe. Further work includes cleaning of the pool house, painting of umbrella stands, replacement of the skimmer basket, adding chlorine and shock to the water, as well as several other minor tasks.
Swimming pool rules will be sent to all Homeowners together with the Annual Meeting mailing.
More attractive garbage cans have been added at the pool entrance and new planters with flowers have been installed at the Gazebo.
Please note: Additional volunteers for pool maintenance by those who frequent the swimming pool are still needed and will be appreciated.
