MINUTES OF THE SEPTEMBER 20TH, 2025 SPECIAL MEETING OF THE BROOKRIDGE CONDOMINIUM AND HOMEOWNERS' ASSOCIATION
***FOLLOWED BY THE MINUTES OF THE SEPT. 16TH REGULAR BOARD MEETING*** https://sites.google.com/site/brookridgehoa/Home
The September 20, 2025 Special Meeting of the Brookridge Condominium and Homeowners' Board of Managers/Directors was held at the pool. Present at the meeting were: Paul Spindel, President (Unit #1); Monica Teuscher, Vice President (#43); Leslie Molinoff, Secretary (#45); Paul Roberts, Treasurer (#40); and Ann Gittelman, Member at Large (#31) - all of whom are Managers/Directors.
Also present were Gramatan Management Assistant Property Manager, Luisa Ravitch, and owner representatives from units 3, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10, 13, 14,16, 21, 23, 29, 35, 37, 39, 41, 42, 46, 48, 49, 50, 54 and 55.
22 homeowners were required to attend in person to establish a quorum and 28 (including the Board members) were present, so the requirement for the quorum was clearly met.
The sole purpose of the Special Meeting was to vote “yes” or “no” for an adoption of an amendment to our By-Laws establishing a rental policy. This amendment was prepared by our attorney and discussed at length at the annual meeting. Our attorney then rendered a legal opinion on questions raised at the annual meeting and residents were encouraged to contact a board member with any additional questions or concerns.
Our Assistant Property Manager, Luisa, conducted the vote. In addition to the owners who voted in person, 10 owners voted by proxy.
29 “yes” votes were required for passage.
Luisa announced the results of the votes at 4:30 PM.
THE FINAL TALLY WAS 35 IN FAVOR OF THE AMENDMENT AND 3 AGAINST, PASSING THE AMENDMENT DECISIVELY. (One vote came in later by proxy and is included in the tally).
At the conclusion of the Special Meeting, we transitioned quite seamlessly into the end-of-season pool cocktail party. We had very strong attendance and it seemed as if everyone was having a wonderful time!
Thank you to all who participated in the vote and attended the Special Meeting and thanks to all who helped to make our end of season pool party such a great success. Special thanks to Monica and Ann G. who were in charge of the food/beverages and for those who stayed to help with clean-up.
Leslie Molinoff
Brookridge Board Secretary
