10/23/2017 Ocotober 25, 2017 Board Meeting Packet 4 of 51
Budget and Finance – Diane McGraw – reported that they would have a budget meeting on 9 October and the BOD budget working sessions are scheduled for 11 and 12 October. Communications – Pat Addy – The Committee is working on revising the Website Policy and Advertising Policy. We have raised advertising rates for the Parke Bench and so far there have been no complaints from advertisers. Covenants – Donna McCracken – The Committee had a long conference call with our attorney regarding the draft HOA Clubhouse Usage Policy. As drafted, the policy is too long and difficult for residents to search. To simplify, there should be separate policies for the different areas of the Clubhouse. They are back to the drawing board and the process will take some time. DRC – Linda Olson - report stands as written. Operations – Bill Glock – Russ Smeak, our maintenance tech, is assisting Operations in various projects, such as bench refurbishment. The Mail Pavilion landscaping upgrade is still in progress - daffodils and day lilies will be planted around the mail pavilion for color. Simplex Grinnell, our fire apparatus contractor, is in violation of their contract obligations and we are seeking contract termination for cause. Sign replacement at Hidden Lake and the Clubhouse is underway. Programs – Susann Palamara – report stands as written. UNFINISHED BUSINESS HOA Activities and Clubhouse Usage Policy DRAFT Update Dale Bully reported that the conference call with the attorney regarding the HOA Activities and Clubhouse Usage Policy was very productive, but as Donna stated, the revision will be a long process. Emergency Preparedness Task Force Update Leo Moran reported that he will be meeting the Worcester Counties Emergency Planner on 29 September, to be followed by visits to the Ocean Pines Fire Department and Public Works. Dale Buley strongly suggested that the Committee also look at the Security implications when establishing Emergency Preparedness Policy. NEW BUSINESS Fund Requests Dale Buley moved to approve a wire transfer in the amount of $1,456.57 to the Bank of Ocean City, GL 1010, Petty Cash account from the Union Bank Operating account. The transfer replenishes the Petty Cash Fund from the Operating account for August 2017 expenditures. Seconded by Leo Moran and unanimously approved. Dale Buley moved to approve a new contract award to PKS & Co. P.A. to conduct financial audits for the Parke at Ocean Pines for the calendar years 2017, 2018 and 2019 at a cost of $6,200 per year. This contract has been competitively bid by the Budget and Finance Committee and is recommended for Board approval. This expense will be budgeted as GL 7000, Audit and Tax Services. Seconded by Leo Moran and unanimously approved.
10/23/2017 Ocotober 25, 2017 Board Meeting Packet 5 of 51

Seconded by Dale Buley and unanimously approved. 2017 Committee Assignments Tom Piatti moved that Gloria Richards (Alternate Member) be appointed a regular member of the Communications Committee replacing Flo Whittaker. Seconded by Dale Buley and unanimously approved. Communications Advisory Committee Website Policy The following statement was read by Tom Piatti for record: As a result of the new website created by the Communications Committee and approved by the Board of Directors, the current Website Policy is outdated. Meanwhile, the Communications Committee is working on a revision which they will send to Covenants for review prior to the Board’s consideration. The new policy shall specify the purpose and function of the website based upon the website design contract scope of work prepared by the Communications Committee and approved by the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors would like to see a revised policy not later than the November Board meeting for discussion and consideration for resident comment. Until the policy is officially revised, the Content Manager will be the Clubhouse and Communications Coordinator (CCC) (Vicki Magin) and changes to the current website format, function and purpose shall be monitored by the Board of Directors or Board President at the recommendation of the Communications Committee. The CCC will work closely with the Communications Committee to ensure that the historical purpose, activity and function of the website is upheld during the revision process. This statement is to provide a foundation to work from during this transitional period due to the conflict that exists between the current Website Policy and the current website designed by the Communications Committee and approved by the Board of Directors of which the staff is administering.
10/23/2017 Ocotober 25, 2017 Board Meeting Packet 6 of 51
Design Review Guideline Policy The following statement read by Tom Piatti for record: DRC Guidelines Policy
Article 7 of the Community Constitution provides the framework for the DRC. Section 7.1, Architectural Control, provides the areas to be controlled, this includes Community Property, Property and Living Units.
Section 7.3 (b) states that the BOD may, but shall not be obligated to, assign all or a portion of its reserved rights to a DRC appointed by the BOD.
Presently, the DRC Guidelines state the responsibility for Common Areas and Living Units rests with the DRC. However, in practice, landscaping control of the Common Areas has been the responsibility of the Operations Advisory Committee Landscaping Sub-Committee because “Contracted Services” for Ground Maintenance, Trees, Storm Water Management and Trails/Paths is contained in Operation’s Terms of Reference.
Therefore, to be compliant with our Community Constitution, the Board suggests the DRC consider the following amendments to its guidelines:
Amendment 1, Role of the Design Review Committee:
Add the following statement immediately following the quoted statement from Article 7 of the Community Constitution:
In accordance with Section 7.3(b) Design Review Committee, the Board of Directors assigns the enforcement of the Design Guidelines of the Living Units to the Design Review Committee subject to all rights reserved by the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors shall maintain and control all real property owned or leased by the association designated to be for the common use and enjoyment of all owners.”
Amendment 2, Application and Review Procedures:
Add the Clubhouse Phone Number and strike Barbara Cordrey’s name and email.
BOARD OF DIRECTOR COMMENTS
Mail Pavilion Trash Can Removal
Tom Piatti stated the BOD was informed and concurred with the Operations Committee Chair’s decision to remove all garbage containers at the Mail Pavilion because trash and pet waste was being discarded both inside and outside of the facility. The removal of these common area containers was in keeping with The Parke at Ocean Pines Policy Resolution 20150325, Rules for Trash Disposal and Collection, which states “The placing of any household trash in the common area trash cans is also a violation of The Parke at Ocean Pines trash policy. The placing of any household trash in the common area trash cans is a violation of the policy and is subject to a fine of up to $50 per occurrence.” Therefore, removing all garbage containers prevents potential violations and fines prescribed in this policy.
MOTION TO MOVE INTO EXECUTIVE SESSION Tom Piatti moved in accordance with the Maryland Homeowners Association Act, Section 11B-111(4) to hold an Executive Session of the Board of Directors at the conclusion of the Board of Director's Meeting for the purpose of 11B-111(4)(i)discussion of matters pertaining to employees and personnel. Seconded by Leo Moran and unanimously approved.

The Parke at Ocean Pines
Treasurer's Report to the Board of Directors
October 25, 2017 Meeting
Report as of September 30, 2017
Financial statements of the Parke HOA as of September 30, 2017 are used for this report with numbers
rounded for ease of reading.
The Balance Sheet Report for September 30, 2017 shows the balance in the Union Bank Operating
checking account to be $99,780. The Bank of Ocean City (BOC) checking account (Petty Cash)
balance was $2,988 and the BOC Contingency account balance was $60,126. Our total cash available
above plus our high yield investments in the Bank of Ocean City Savings of $75,823 and our Reserve
Investments of $297,047 equals $535,764. Of further note, since the kick-off of the 2017 Delinquent
Assessment Collection Initiative as of August 1, 2017, delinquent assessments (reflected in GL1500
A/R Assessments) have been reduced $12,043, a 36% reduction after a two months effort.
The Income Statement Report as of September 30, 2017 shows our year to date (9 months) total
Operating Income to be $927,035 and our year to date (9 months) total expense to be $835,193.
Our income includes monthly single assessments as well as $1,000 for each YTD home sale of
$31,000, Newsletter advertising of $5,980 and Clubhouse rentals of $620. Also, it should be noted that
our cash balance includes $45,803 in prepaid assessments which is carried on the Balance Sheet as a
current liability. Of interest, this liability was reduced by $4,295 month over month.
Based upon the above analysis, the current financial status of the Parke HOA continues to be healthy.
2017 Delinquent Assessments Collection Initiative
The 2017 Delinquency Assessments Collection Initiative began with overdue balances as of August 1,
2017 equaling $32,685. Subsequently, the delinquency balance changed as of August 31, 2017 equaled
$24,498.50. As of September 30, 2017, the delinquent balance equaled $21,883.54. As of October
16th, an additional $9,735 was collected bringing the balance down to $12,148.70. Of that balance,
$2,862.60 belongs to members asking for payment plans; $853.60 will be paid by members that left out
of town before they could check their bank records – they will pay when they return (expected by Oct
31st); $6,018.80 remains. The Board of Directors will meet in Executive Session following the October
25th Board Meeting to discuss sending the final few accounts to the collections attorney to send a “30
Day Intent to Lien” notice to each Member and subsequently filing liens on those accounts that do not
respond with payment within the 30 day time period.
Note – If a house forecloses AFTER a lien is filed and the house has no value above the mortgaged
amount, the mortgage holder MUST pay the Association four (4) months of assessments no matter the
equity (or lack there of) in the home. While it is true that the Association will incur legal fees if the
liens are not satisfied prior to foreclosure, the four (4) month assessment will reimburse the
10/23/2017 Ocotober 25, 2017 Board Meeting Packet 9 of 51
Association’s legal fee costs and a slight surplus will be applied to the Association’s income.
It is important to recognize that the Association will not write off any Bad Debt that is left on any
account UNLESS the home has foreclosed, the Association received the 4 months of past due
assessments and the remaining balance was left unpaid when the bank sells the home to new members.
The Bad Debt Write off of 2017 is expected to be considerably less than that which is budgeted
($9,360).
2018 Parke Budget Initiative
Just a note to recognize those involved in the development of the Parke 2018 Budget. Starting
with the General Manager and her outstanding development and presentation of a recommended
budget, to the Budget & Finance Committee's complete review and recommendations to the Board of
Directors and the smoothness of the Board Working meeting to hammer out a very thorough and
common sense 2018 draft document, we owe those involved a real debt of gratitude. The Board will
vote to approve the draft 2018 Budget at their October 2017 meeting followed by a 30 day resident
review. The Board will conduct a resident presentation of the 2018 Budget at the November 3rd Java
Hour and will be vote for approval at the November 27th Board meeting.

The Association reports an unfavorable $1,631.81 variance for the month and an unfavorable $7,634.09 variance year
to date. The unfavorable variance is due to 1) Website Expenses includes a) $2900 Final 50% payment for new
website design (first 50% deposit of $2900 pd 8-2016) and b) 2017 website hosting contracted $1800. The $2900 is
over 2017 budget as project was budgeted for 2016. Removing this total leaves the 2017 remaining budget at $400.
2) Legal expenses YTD is $2407.00 over YTD budget. The total YTD budget is $5,000 - The Association is expected
to be over budget in this category due to the HOA Clubhouse and Usage Policy amendment work which has not been
billed as legal counsel just began review.

Several GL's billing was off of the budget spread, therefore it appears that there are unfavorable variances, but
expenses are on schedule year to date except Janitorial Services, which began late in the year, however, the variance
will disappear at the end of the year. The 2016 Audit and Taxes have not been billed as of the date of this report.
While the Association shows a surplus in Contracted Expenses this month, it is anticipated that the Association will

($21,755)
The Association reports a favorable $40,942 variance for the month and a favorable $53,200 variance year to date.
The variance is due to several factors: no need for budgeted leaf removal $36,205 (GL6605 and GL7005). Some of
the contracted landscaping items are taking place differently than budget spread, but the Association will incur all
costs and balance actuals against the budget at year end in all contracted GL's (does not include 6160 and 6110 which
will fluctuate to the needs of the Association.)
The Association reports a favorable $84 variance for the month and an unfavorable $1352 variance year to date. This
is due to budget spread calculations and nothing of significance at this time.

The Association did not have any activity in this expense category for the month. There are no capital improvement
project scheduled at this time, nor anticipated in the near future. Regarding PY OP Cont Exp - The Association owed
the BOC Contingency Bank Account (GL1212) for the 2016 Snow Removal Costs ($11,818.04 actual costs) which is
booked in the budget (budgeted at $20,513) within this category. The funds transfer occurred in February, but not
booked through this expense line item. GM will discuss this with Corporate Accounting and Auditor in order to show
the transfer of funds through the expense GL even though the bank accounts in which the transaction occurs are both
considered Operating accounts - which is why the transfer is not booked as transfers between reserve and operating
accounts are.

The Reserve Contributions (GL9105) is accrued. This is why the Due to - Due From GL's on the Balance Sheet are important as
they record monthly contributions that are not made. The Association is making the Reserve Contributions as budgeted. The
reserve interest was not budgeted under the Reserve "Company" therefore, this GL will show a positive variance every month
and at year end. The reserve interest was budgeted on the Operating side, which will show a negative variance throughout the
year. It is best to compare the Reserve Interest GL 4910 to the Operating Reserve Interest GL 4910 for budget variances.

Budget & Finance Advisory Committee
Report to the Board October 25, 2017
Membership: Gary Boggs (Alternate), Don Clagett, Jim Driggers, Diane McGraw (Chair), Carol Mongelli, Jan Nissen-Hawkins, Joan Twigg (Alternate). Others: Dale Buley (Interim Treasurer), Leo Moran (Board Liaison), Kristi Clarke (General Manager). Community: Bill Glock (Chair, Operations), Dawn Johnson (Board member), Linda Klingler of 29 Fort Sumter South, Susan Bosworth of 28 Chatham Court. Accomplishments: Budget 2018: The Budget & Finance Committee met on October 9th to discuss the initial budget draft prepared by General Manager Kristi Clarke. Much discussion centered on GL4120 (Initial Contribution) as to a reasonable number for houses to be sold in 2018. In addition, we discussed GL6750 (Contingency Snow Removal) and an extra winter clearing of leaves under GL4295 (Leaf Removal - Common Area) and GL7005 (Leaf Removal – Residential) and agreed that all should fall under GL4295 (FY Contingency Reimbursement) as weather-related contingencies. The GL5390 (Workers Compensation) line was revisited and reduced by half through the application of correct Dept. Codes by Associa for our three L&N employees and through our insurance company for the Parke part-time employees. It has subsequently been discovered that Choptank Electric Coop will not be changing their rates in 2018 so the Parke will remain at the small rate versus a medium rate. As a result of the line-by-line review of the draft 2018 budget, the Budget & Finance Committee made the following three recommendations to be considered by the Board: • First, that the revised draft operating and reserve budget (October 9, 2017) be recommended for the
BOD to consider and approve. The motion was unanimously approved. • Second, based on the 2016 audit and budget approval, the BOD directs the GM to move $21,307 from
the Reserve bank account to the Union Bank operating account. The motion passed unanimously. • Third, based on the 2016 Audit and upon approval of the budget, the BOD directs the GM to move
$18,424.36 from the Union Bank operating account to the Reserve bank account. The motion passed unanimously.

Financials: September 2017 financials were reviewed by Committee members at the October 20th meeting with questions answered by the General Manager. Collection Policy: The Collection Policy has been reviewed again. The Committee agreed that the edited policy is ready for a review by the Covenants Committee.
Delinquencies: Residents with past due assessments have been responsive to the notices sent on August 1, 2017. The Staff continues to work with residents to assist them in understanding their delinquencies. As of 8/1/2017, there was a total of $32,855.07 outstanding. As of October 16, the balance is down to $12,148.70 with additional delinquency monies forthcoming.
• Recommendation: After a review of delinquent accounts by the General Manager, the Budget & Finance Committee recommends to the Board that the delinquency of four owners be sent to our Attorney for collection processing with 30-day Intent to Lien.
Warehouse Storage Expenses: The monthly rental charges of $80 have been reclassified from GL5090 (Office Supplies) to GL5195 (Miscellaneous Office Supplies), effective on October 19, 2017 by Xiang Wu of Associa. Eight months or $640 have been transferred from GL5090 to GL5195.
Update on Tax Refund: The Parke will recoup additional Sales Usage Taxes charged by Choptank Electric Coop since last year’s refund to February 2017. The estimated refund is ~$1,400. In February 2017, Kristi Clarke was successful in working with Choptank Electric Coop to ensure that future electric bills do not include sales tax.
Replacement Reserve Study: It was decided that the Miller Dodson Replacement Reserve Study inventory will need to be updated to account for a changing inventory as a result of the requests for funds reviewed this month:
• The Exercise Equipment replacements are missing three old treadmills at $6,000 each. PS: We have a total of 5 in the Gym. The study only shows two new treadmills (2013) @ $4,900 each.
• The new elliptical recumbent cross trainer5 bike at the unit replacement cost of $6,099 will be added as a new item to replace one of the three old treadmills.
• The new lighting controls system controlled by a digital timer is a new item under Clubhouse replacements.
The Study will be updated by Miller Dodson in 2018. The General Manager assigned the above inventory changes as an action to the Operations Committee.
Requests for Funds: There were three requests for funds. We endorsed the following requests from the Operations Committee. You will note that all requests are over budget of an expenditure line. Much discussion was conducted about Capital Improvement or Replacement Reserves pertaining to Requests #1 and 2.
10/23/2017 Ocotober 25, 2017 Board Meeting Packet 31 of 51
• Recommendation: For Requests #1 and #2 affecting GL9800 (Repair & Replacement Expenses), a motion was unanimously approved to bill the cost of these two requests to GL9800, subject to a year-end review of Surplus to reimburse Replacement Reserves from operational surplus. Any additional surplus at year-end beyond the current projected should be earmarked to Replacement Reserves.

CAC REVISED BOARD HIGHLIGHTS – October 2017
RESIDENT OPEN FORUM: None CAC had all members from 2017 attend the meeting. Gloria Richards was welcomed as a full time member through December 2017.
• Pat asked the members to consider staying on the committee for a 1 or two year term. CAC consists of a Chair plus 5 full time and at least two alternates according to our TOR. We had 1 full time plus (PR) and 4 alternates (PA, JST, GE, MT) for 2018. Two of the alternates cannot make at least 4 or 5 meetings in a year out of 12.
• Pat addressed an alternate solution of taking some of the sub- committee reports and
reassigning them to another committee. (Advertising, Java and Welcome) There is still the concern for the committee other areas of responsibility (Bench, Directory, Surveys and Website).
The committee approved the August and Sept minutes, also the Sept and Oct Agendas. All approved minutes were immediately posted following the meeting.
• Bob reviewed the highlights from the Sept BOD meeting. He discussed the survey and the decision to implement a pilot for extended hours using the early 5 am starting time once the BOD has the equipment installed to secure the building. He explained that once it is announced we will be only use the am extended hours right now NOT the pm hours. CRR ‘s will still be required until we are ready to test the change.
• Kristi reminded the committee about the Budget and Finance OPEN meeting and OPEN workshop for all residents to attend. She gave a mini demo to the committee of the approved budget as it appears on the web site.
• Vicki reported that the 2 residents received flu shots on Sept 14 and will be able to get them again on October 13th In October to be announced.
• Kudos to Vicki who supports our committee and the Parke by posting minutes, postings for Events, the Java and our Welcome Committee in a timely manner and for the fun and catchy flyers and website pictures that are informative and with a flare that grabs your attention and covers all the points and facts.
• Pat reported that the new advertising rates have been set for 2018 and if the current advertisers renew we will have an $875.00 increase in income.
• The new advertising amount YTD (received after the meeting) is now $7,009.00 that is for ads into the month of October 4th 2017. Our projected budget for 2017 was for $8.000.00 and for 2018 is projected for $6,000.00 (prior to increase in prices). There exists a report for advertising that includes a summation of our Advertiser’s - including prices, add type (banner etc), amounts charged, names/ contacts and rates. Last report is for 2015 I have requested an update.
• Peg reported there have been 5 new house settlements. As of October 2, 2017 there have been 38 New Household Settlements. (33 members and 5 residents).
• The Autumn Harvest Happy Hour Event will be held on Saturday, October 28th 2017 from 4 to 6:00 pm. The sign up book is at the clubhouse, Please sign up one name per line and specify

what you will bring. Remember it is a BYOB for seasoned residents and the committee will supply additional refreshments. Peg will welcome the new residents. Count is at 60 including the 29 new residents.
• QR code has been removed from the Bench and Gene Edge is researching it.
• Rick reported 450 copies were printed last month and will be for next month.
• Steve reported the Forum continues to grow with members for postings and topics on the Web site

The Covenants Committee Board Report October 25, 2017
Our work on revising the HOA Activities and Clubhouse Usage Policy (HOAACU) continues. The draft policies will be reviewed at our November 1st meeting. Drawing on the lessons learned while working on this Policy, the Covenants Committee has recommended to the Board that all policies be routed through the Covenants Committee before being presented to the Board for their action. While this would add another step in the approval process we feel in the long run it might speed up the process if we can identify any potential problems prior to the policy being posted for residents comments. Currently there is one vacancy on the Covenants Committee. In addition we have 2 members, 2 alternates and the chair with terms expiring Dec 31, 2017. Recruitment of future Committee members is an ongoing effort. Donna McCracken Chair, Covenants Committee

Parke BOD Report – DRC Committee
October 17, 2017
The meeting was called to order at 9:02 AM by Linda Olsen, Chair. Melva Middleton took notes. A quorum was present. Minutes from the September 19, 2017 meeting were unanimously approved. Barbara reported that although she did not go on the drive-around this month, Joyce and Linda did go and reported only 5 minor violations. Barbara did check on them since and has made a couple of calls. She told us that the dead tree on Hatteras has been replaced and the house has been power washed. The owner lives in TX and can be difficult to reach. A discussion followed regarding Barbara first making phone calls to violators in an effort to be “kinder and gentler” rather than sending a letter. Residents seem to prefer a call instead of receiving an official letter for a minor violation. The calls have been well received over the last couple of years but the time invested by Barbara with no answers, leaving messages, voice mails too full to accept new messages, calling back, etc. is becoming time consuming, not to say confusing, when she has several calls in several different stages of response. Also, phone calls do not leave a paper trail and with our possible fines as a result of a violation, documentation is most important. We decided to eliminate the phone calls and go right to the letter, although we will make it a “gentle” letter for the first time. If the occasional phone conversation is called for, Barbara will make that judgement. The mold violations have been turned over to Covenants and the list is down to 2 violators, possibly only 1. One resident has power washed but the second story is still green. The contractor is coming back to correct the job. We will recheck to verify. The next mold inspection will be the first week of July 2018. A while back a discussion was started when Linda sent an email to the BOD regarding the HOA bringing changes of community property to the attention of the DRC for consideration, per our guidelines and our Community Constitution. Tom Piatti added this item to the agenda of the last BOD meeting where it was suggested that our guidelines be changed leaving the DRC out of the loop for updates or changes to HOA community property. Our committee was not aware of this until today where we agreed on a possible solution that we will suggest to the board that may satisfy all sides of the issue with the least amount of time and expense invested by all concerned. If a community project is suggested, researched, and documented by a committee, most likely Operations, and they have invested time and energy preparing their presentation for Budget and Finance, followed by a presentation to the BOD, the DRC would certainly not stand in the way of such vetting and/or progress. But rather than changing documents of all varieties, simply notify the DRC with the same presentation that goes to B&F or the BOD, keeping us in the loop, covering the compliance issue as is stated in the Community Constitution and the DRC guidelines. An email should accomplish this task. We would consider ourselves as being informed and we would not need to pass any judgement as that has already been accomplished by other committees. It is a matter of communicating to all concerned. No need to change documents over something as easily remedied as this bit of cooperation and communication. Linda will respond to the BOD with our suggestion for their consideration. We went on to review five applications. Four of the applications were approved and one was denied. This denial was a resident that wanted to change her front steps to decking material with wooden railings. At present we have cement, stone, or brick front porches and steps. The committee felt that wood decking was not appropriate for the front entrance in the Parke community. The next meeting will be November 21, 2017. The meeting was adjourned at 10:25 AM.

Operations Advisory Committee Board Report
October 2017
Accomplishments:
1.) Landscape Review – Landscape Chair Mike Simcock reviewed in detail the September actions designed to enhance the Community Property areas. These efforts included the removal of the trees at the Mail Pavilion and the planting of new elderberry plants in their place, as well as, the additional plants that are scheduled to be installed in this area during the month of October. New Grasses and Day Lilies were planted in the Central Parke South sidewalk area. Additionally, new plants were installed at the Parke entrance and the Clubhouse parking lot entrance.
2.) Grand Hall Sound Project – The Committee is terminating this project. An earlier study was located and reviewed pertaining to this subject. Additionally Resident Joe Giacoponello attended our meeting and indicated that he too had been a part of a second review of this issue. Both prior efforts into this subject matter determined that the issue was not serious enough to warrant the associated costs involved for any corrective action.
3.) Fitness Center Recumbent Bike – The Fitness Center Upgrade Sub Committee noted, at the time of it’s review and recommendations, that one of the Treadmills was entering it’s final life stage. It was recommended that when necessary repairs reached an
10/23/2017 Ocotober 25, 2017 Board Meeting Packet 39 of 51
unreasonable amount, that the Treadmill be replaced with a NuStep Recumbent Bike. The subject Treadmill is now requiring $900 in maintenance repairs. The Committee approved an estimate in the amount of $6,099.00 for a NuStep # T5 Recumbent Cross Trainer Bike. The recommended bike’s features include easy “step through” access, swivel seat and contact heart rate grips.
4.) Sens Mechanical estimate for Dehumidifier Control – The Committee approved an estimate from Sens Mechanical in the amount of $ 645.00 to relocate the Pool Dehumidifier Control to the men’s locker room closet. This will eliminate having to enter the Club House attic to monitor the devise. During the meeting, it was discussed if relocating the control to the staff office area would be a better option?? Any additional costs, if any, should be minimal. The General Manager will investigate.
5.) Clubhouse Interior Light Project – In order to reduce electrical usage within the Clubhouse when rooms are not occupied, the Committee reviewed two proposals. Proposal # 1, in the amount of $10,000, included the installation of Motion Sensor light switches and putting all lights on timers. Additionally, this proposal is labor intense due to the amount of rewiring required. The Committee rejected Proposal # 1. Proposal # 2 was approved in an amount not to exceed $ 5,000. This Proposal includes abandoning the light switches in the reception desk area and installing one timer for all lights. Additionally, it includes identifying motion sensor switches that are needed with one night light in the Locker Room and Fitness Center.

Major Tasks in Progress:
1.) Pool Spa Jets – A Resident expressed concern that the Spa Jets were not producing a strong jet spray. This issue will be addressed when the Spa resurfacing project begins.
2.) Annapolis Pier Walkway – Unfortunately, due to pavers being
raised by an adjacent tree limb, a Resident recently tripped and experienced a serious injury. The Moore Company was immediately contacted and is scheduling repairs to the walkway. In the meantime, red plastic warning cones have been placed on the walkway. As you are aware, we just corrected the same situation last year. The Moore Company is investigating a long term solution for this issue.
3.) Pool Area Showers Grab Bars – A Resident suggested the
addition of “Grab Bars” for the showers located in the Pool area. The Committee endorsed this suggestion and the General Manager will obtain estimates.
4.) Cape May Pond Project – The burying of the involved
Residential rain gutter drain spouts is complete. The corrective effort on the Pond erosion issues will begin next month.
5.) Parke Trail & Monument Sign Project – The new Monument
signs have been installed at the Clubhouse & Hidden Lake. The Trail Signs have been obtained and installation is awaiting sign base preparation.
10/23/2017 Ocotober 25, 2017 Board Meeting Packet 41 of 51
6.) Central Park Benches – The benches within Central Park have
been pressured washed and cleaned. Wood treatment and painting will begin as soon as the weather allows.
7.) Boardwalk Repair on Cambridge Pier – Contractor has
inspected pier and determined the number of replacement planks required and ordered. Should be noted that there will be a difference in appearance until wood aging takes place.

Programs Committee Report October 2017
Here we are – another month gone. Now we gear up for the Holiday Season. Happy New Year to all our Jewish friends and neighbors.
Thanks to the neighbors who decorated the front of the Clubhouse for the fall. Very nice. Thanks for sharing your creativity.
About 35 neighbors enjoyed a full moon bon fire at Assateague National Seashore on October 4. What a beautiful night and we all had a great time.
Our Tailgate party was another big hit. The weather was a little on the warm side but neighbors dressed in their team colors and shared some good eats and team spirit.
Coming up is our trip to Sight and Sound on November 3rd.
On November 15th we’ll be returning to Dunes Manor for our Annual Harvest Dinner.
December in the Parke Committee will be preparing the decorations on November 13. Tree in the mail pavilion will have cards for G.O.L.D. on or about the 13th. Decorating the rest of the Parke begins the Tuesday after Thanksgiving.
We are still looking for residents to open their home for the Holiday House Tour on December 16.
