SPRING POND ESTATES HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION
BOARD OF DIRECTORS MONTHLY MEETING - DECEMBER 9, 2024
PRESIDENT - President Lee Page called the meeting to order at 6:30 PM.
All Board Members were in attendance with Frank McClellan participating via mobile connection. President Page wished everyone a very happy holiday season.
RECORDING SECRETARY - President Page noted corrections made to the October minutes and also made a motion to accept the November minutes as written. Motion was seconded by Vice President Pat Mirisola. Motion passed unanimously with minutes on file for review.
TREASURER - Treasurer Strazzere reported expenses for November ended close to budget, but noted the maintenance expenses did exceed the original budget due to fascia and trim repairs completed at 16 Spring Pond Circle. He also anticipated expenses for the month of December will be over budget, partially due to an increase in our SPEHOA annual insurance premium. Vice President Mirisola made a motion to accept the Treasurer’s report, seconded by Board Member Dave Mulcahey. Motion passed unanimously with detailed Treasurer’s report on file for review.
FINANCE COMMITTEE - Chairperson Joe Strazzere reported that the third finance committee meeting was held on Monday, November 25th with all committee members in attendance. President Page was also in attendance, representing the Board of Directors, which he will continue to do until the end of his term this coming June. Several issues from previous meetings were reviewed along with discussion referencing the Committee’s desire to have preliminary budget numbers made available for review in April, prior to the SPEHOA annual June meeting.
LANDSCAPING COMMITTEE - Chairperson Clay Feeter reported he and Committee Member Bob Mirisola are continuing to address the need for additional tree maintenance service within the Spring Pond Estates Community.
There was also an extended discussion concerning a complaint that had been submitted to the Town of York Code Enforcement Officer from a homeowner on Cardinal Lane. The complaint referenced a possible buffer zone violation behind 16 Spring Pond Circle.
After extensive research on the part of Chairperson Clay Feeter and President Page, it was reported that their findings have been submitted to the CEO and that we are presently awaiting a final judgement. If the CEO rules that a violation has in fact occurred, the Board was in agreement that this matter should be taken under advisement with our Association Attorney, Mark Lawrence in order to determine what further action should be taken.
MAINTENANCE - Chairperson Lee Page reported on the work that had been completed by Gutter By Design. He also noted that the several repairs were completed in the Community Center bathroom. President Page has scheduled Life Safety Fire Protection, Inc. to perform the annual sprinkler system inspection for the Community Center building in January, 2025.
SOCIAL - Chairperson Deb Strazzere reported that the Holiday Party held on December 8th was enjoyed by all, and that it was also an opportune time to welcome our newest neighbors, Barry & Eileen Leibowitz and Gayle Marshall, who also joined in on the festivities. Chairperson Strazzere stated the next Coffee Hour will be scheduled for some time in January.
WELCOMING COMMITTEE - Chairperson Pat Mirisola reported that Peggy Beacon will be purchasing 20 Spring Pond Circle and that the sale will be finalized during the month of January.
WEBSITE - Chairperson Joe Strazzere reported he will be posting a notice on our website and at the Community Center to remind homeowners to follow the Sewer Department’s Guidelines, emphasizing that these guidelines are essential in properly maintaining the community pumping station. Board Member Deb Strazzere has also volunteered to distribute informational flyers to all homeowners.
Vice President Pat Mirisola made a motion to adjourn the meeting, seconded by Board Member Dave Mulcahey. Motion passed. Meeting was adjourned at 7:23 PM.
