PRESIDENT - President Bannister called the meeting to order at 6:30 PM with all Board Members in attendance.

RECORDING SECRETARY - Secretary Rotsko asked the Board to review the July 12th minutes.  A motion was made by Board Member Lee Page, seconded by Treasurer Joe Strazzere to accept the minutes as written. Motion passed (Minutes on file for review).

TREASURER - Treasurer Strazzere presented his July report stating expenses remain under budget for the month. He also noted that the propane bill for the Community Center and the two residents who share the heating expenses will be paid on a monthly basis for the season rather than utilizing the pre-paid format. (Treasurer Report on file for review).

Treasurer Strazzere also read a letter he received from Patten Landscaping stating they were now entering maintenance mode and will begin work on our landscaping and gardening projects.

ARCHITECTURE COMMITTEE - President Bannister noted we are still in need of volunteers and that the Board will continue to oversee this committee until further notice.

BY-LAWS/COVENANT COMMITTEE - President Bannister confirmed that the Board will hold a special meeting with the By-Laws Committee on Wednesday, August 11th at 2:00 PM in order to review their recommendations and revisions. 

LANDSCAPING COMMITTEE - Chairperson Jane Brown revisited the issue of possibly replacing Mainely Grass with another grounds maintenance service. President Bannister suggested a motion be made that the Landscaping Committee meet with Mainely Grass to express their concerns prior to making a final decision about changing companies. The motion was made by Treasurer Strazzere, seconded by Board Member Lee Page. Motion passed unanimously.

Chairperson Brown also noted that the tree maintenance for Spring Pond Estates also needs to be addressed in the near future. The trees have been marked but the pruning has not been completed as yet.

MAINTENANCE - Chairperson Lee Page addressed several repairs that have been completed including replacing the posts on the front of 3 Ruch Lane following an automobile mishap. He noted these repairs were deemed necessary in order to ensure the roof would be properly stabilized (Full report of repairs on file for review).

SOCIAL COMMITTEE - Chairperson Deb Strazzere reported that the Ice Cream Social was a great success and all “sweet tooth” members of the Board were in agreement that an encore event would be wholeheartedly welcomed.

WEBSITE - Treasurer Strazzere noted that several helpful links have been added to our website and that any additional suggestions could be easily included. 

HOMEOWNER’S INPUT - Vice President Milbury inquired as to the format and proper procedure involved in making changes and/or revisions to our existing By-Laws.

President Bannister noted that a special meeting would be held in order to allow all members of the Association to vote on any changes that have been recommended by the committee. He also added that the Association would seek legal counsel and guidance prior to submitting the revised By-Laws to the State for their required approval.


Motion to adjourn was made by Treasurer Strazzere, seconded by Vice President Milbury. Meeting adjourned at 7:05 PM

Respectfully Submitted,
