Landscaping Committee Report
Report given by Sue Bannister, chairman (see attached)

Maintenance Committee Report
Ed Collins reported he had checked the gutter at 19 Ruch Lane and found it clear. Feels the leak came from the ice back-up from the winter. Still trying to decide the best way to grind and replace the concrete walks in front of the CC and upstairs. The Board feels more investigation is needed concerning this problem. The deck up on the upper level of the CC is quite "squishy" in spots and further investigation is needed for various options on how to fix it. This area needs to be power washed also. Ed also reported one of the package container keys is missing. He will check in the
office to see if there are extras.

Welcoming Committee Report
Pat Mirisola, Chairman reported meeting with both potential new homeowners who will be taking up residence on Ruch Lane. Pam and Bob Milbury will be buying 15 Ruch Lane and Diane and Mike Kleist will be buying 16 Ruch Lane. It was a very successful meeting and she and her committee were thanked.

Roofing Scam

Please be aware that there is an active scam going around in this area, per the York police.

Someone may call you and claim to be a local roof repairman. They may say that "your Association no longer covers your roof". They claim they will be in the area for a few days. Then they may ask to examine your roof, will find something wrong and attempt to get your credit card information.

This is a scam.

The roofs are still the Homeowner's Association responsibility. And the scammers are not actually local roofers.

Several of our residents have already received similar calls. The York police know about this scam, and ask all homeowners to simply ignore any request to examine the roofs.
