SPEHOA MONTH BOARD MEETING
AUGUST 12, 2019
President Rainforth called the meeting to order at 6:30 PM. Vice President LeMon was not in attendance.
Recording Secretary Rotsko’s July minutes were accepted as written. Joe Strazzere made a motion to accept the minutes, seconded by Sally Hudgins. Motion passed (Minutes on file).
Treasurer Strazzere gave a follow-up report regarding the $2400.00 pre-payment to D. F. Richard to cover propane usage at the Community Center noting two-thirds of the total will be reimbursed to the Association by the building’s second floor home owners. Motion to accept Treasurer’s report was made by Jane Laughton, seconded by Sally Hudgins (Treasurer’s report on file).
By-Law & Declarations Committee Chairperson Sally Hudgins suggested employing the services of an attorney who specializes in home owners’ associations rules and regulations. She explained the purpose would be to utilize his expertise as a guideline in preparation for the upcoming By-Law Committee meeting scheduled for September.
Members of the Board agreed that this could be helpful but thought there should be further research on the subject in order to determine the amount of billing time that would be required.
The July Landscaping Committee report has been tabled until next month’s meeting.
Maintenance Committee Chairperson Page reported repairs to the cracks and damage along the complex roadway and Community Center parking lot have been repaired to the best of his ability.
President Rainforth noted she is waiting for a response from Director Dean Lessard, Department of Public Works, regarding the need for additional repairs to be completed by the Town of York.
There are also concerns which still need to be addressed concerning the barking dog issue. President Rainforth has requested the Board conduct a second closed meeting on Wednesday, August 14th.
Under New Business, Sally Hudgins reported because the Health Care contract between York Hospital and Spring Pond Estates was discontinued it will no longer be included as part of the Association’s Welcome Package, but noted services are still available to homeowners on an individual basis.
Treasurer Strazzere also reported that on certain occasions, mail is not being delivered via the 4 Styles Lane new mailing address and that he will notify the Post Office of the problem.
Motion to adjourn by Board Member Strazzere, seconded by Board Member Laughton. Motion Passed.
Respectfully Submitted,
El Rotsko, SPEHOA Recording Secretary
