MINUTES OF A MEETING

OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

BROOKRIDGE HOA, INC.

A meeting of the Board of Directors of Brookridge Homeowners Association, Inc. (“HOA”) was held on May 5, 2015 at the home of Paul Spindel. Present at the meeting were: Paul Spindel, Carole Princer Levy, Barbara Schiff, Monica Teuscher, and Jeff Adler - all of whom are Directors constituting a quorum. Also present was Tom Pallman of Stillman Management, Inc.

Carole Princer Levy acted as Chair of the meeting. Jeff Adler acted as Secretary.

Call to order at 7:30 p.m.

Minutes of the prior meeting have been approved and posted.

Paul Spindel, Treasurer, reported on the budget.

As of April 30, 2015:

The checking account balance is $12,016.

The capital fund balance is $251,800.

Total balance is $263,816.

The Homeowner’s Association is on budget for the year. There is a projected surplus of $4,800.

The Board next discussed the issue of arrears on Unit#16: Since Ms. Brim no longer owns Unit #16, the accrual of arrears ($54,376 currently) has ceased. During the discussion, the Board decided that henceforth Ms. Brim will only be charged legal fees that the Board accrued in attempting to collect her arrears. Unit #16 is now owned by Mr. Zazzarino, and Citibank is still responsible for maintaining the property. Mr. Zazzarino has stated that he plans to do nothing with this property. His total arrears are now $1,755.

Eastco Manufacturing Corp., Fleetwood Lock Company, Inc. and Auto Magic Corporation submitted proposals for the repair of the front gate. Eastco is the low bidder and has been awarded the job. Eastco will start dismantling the old front gate and replacing it with a new one around mid-May.

Fleetwood Lock Company, Inc. has been awarded the contract for upgrading the security systems of the pool gate and tennis court gate. Actual work on the tennis court will start in early July. The Board encourages parents to have children play in off-premises playgrounds or in the backyard of their units rather than on the Tennis court. Please be considerate of others in the Community and respectful of other Homeowners in all common areas.

The Board has authorized ordering propane and chlorine for the pool, as well as painting the umbrella stands and getting new garbage cans. The leaks from the main pool fill line were fixed and sealed. On May 5, the pool chairs were picked up from Patti's Portico. The pool service contract for 2015 has been awarded to Scott Renda Pools and the pool is now open.

Monica & Barbara are meeting on May 20 with Ron Vitti to evaluate planting needs and to walk the premises to make sure that all the sprinklers are working. Ron Vitti is to turn the sprinkler system on during the first week of May.

Additional issues were brought to the Board’s attention by Jeff Adler, who felt that there might be an insect infestation on the tennis court. He was informed by other Board members that these insects are seasonal flying ants and are present for only a short time.

The issue of wet, almost swampy grass behind Units #27, #29 and #31 was also brought to the Board’s attention. Tom will get Ron Viti to check the sprinklers behind these units to see if there's a leak and report back to the Board.

The HOA annual meeting will be held at the Bonnie Briar Country Club at 7:30 PM Tuesday, June 23. Financial reports will be handed out to all Homeowners attending the meeting. Barbara Schiff and Paul Spindel have come to the end of their terms as Directors of the Board. However, these two will stand for re-election. Jeff Adler has been appointed to fill the vacancy created when Ted Wacksman left the Board. Jeff has consented to run for a full-term by standing for election to the Board. Anyone else wishing to serve on the Board should contact Tom Pallman.

Once again, Homeowners whose units need painting touch-ups are encouraged to e-mail their requirements to Tom Pallman. CertaPro is now scheduled to come to the community next month.

There being no further business before the Board, upon motion made and duly seconded, the meeting was adjourned at 8:40 PM.

Respectfully submitted,

Jeff Adler, Secretary
