NOTES FROM THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS WINDCREST EAST HOA BOD MEETING

NOVEMBER 18, 2011

The meeting was called to order by Felicia Ayoub at 2:00 P.M.

The attendees were Felicia Ayoub, Walter Blanck, Barbara Caramore, Linda Nemeth, Jack Tyniec and Vince Occipinti. The Minutes of the meeting of October 18, 2011 were reviewed, Motion made by Linda and seconded by Jack to accept the Minutes; all in favor, Motion approved. Financial Report Jack reported that the October 2011 checks totaled $42,251.56 . Year to date expenses are $432,882 and YTD income is $412,952 with a variance of $19,930. We are still recovering from the additional expenses incurred earlier in the year (described in the May Breeze) but expect that income and expenses will be close to balance by the end of the year. November checks issued through November 22, 2011 totaled $42,251.56. Old Business Jack reported that all the required information has been entered into the database for the operation of the entrance gates. The owner at (address) is still waiting for an inspection and evaluation of the retaining wall on the property by a representative of Greenview Properties. Steve from Lawn Elements has promised to provide residents with information regarding scheduling of landscape maintenance. Two estimates have been received for repair of the Clubhouse front walkway. The information regarding changes and additions to the new phone book has been forwarded to the printer. Information from one resident was received too late for inclusion. New directories will be available at the Annual Meeting. Linda continues to gather information regarding street lighting with respect to energy efficiency.

Shelving has been installed in the Exercise Room to accommodate the Cablevision boxes, reducing wire clutter and eliminating the need for a table. A new pool cover, instead of a repaired one, has been installed on the pool and the pool has been winterized. Repairs to the pool will be done in the spring of 2012. Norsic completed cleaning of the single septic systems in early November. New Business We have been advised by the Department of Health that they have issued new regulations regarding the upgrade of the pool’s salt generator system. This will be addressed in the spring of 2012. After reviewing the two estimates received for repair of the Clubhouse front walkway, the BOD has decided to request additional estimates. A decision was made by the BOD that no one is to borrow any articles from the Clubhouse including chairs, tables, paper products, etc. This decision is in effect immediately. The BOD reviewed past and present expenses as well as estimates submitted for work to be done in 2012, which are all taken into consideration as the budget for 2012 is prepared. The Agenda for the Annual Meeting to be held on December 15, 2011 was reviewed. The meeting was adjourned at 4:15 P.M.
