June Board Meeting Minutes

  SPRING POND ESTATES HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION 

                                   MONTHLY BOARD OF DIRECTORS MEETING

                                                         JUNE 8, 2026

PRESIDENT - President Lee Page called the meeting to order at 6:30 PM with all Board Members and Officers in attendance. President Page conveyed his appreciation to everyone for their support during his time in office and noted he will remain as Chairperson of the Maintenance Committee.  Landscaping Chairperson Clay Feeter reiterated our appreciation for his commitment to the Association as well.

RECORDING SECRETARY - Vice President Pat Mirisola made a motion to accept Secretary Rotsko’s May, 2026 minutes as written, seconded by Board Member Frank McClellan. Motion passed with minutes on file for review.

TREASURER - Treasurer Joe Strazzere reported that the expenses for May were over budget and that expenses for June should be over budget based on bills paid and received so far.

Board Member Bob Milbury made a motion to accept the Treasurer’s report as submitted, seconded by President Lee Page. Motion passed with detailed report on file for review.

Treasurer Strazzere also reviewed his 2026/2027 budget which he will be presenting at the Annual Meeting on June 9th with his recommendation, and Board approval, to have the Association Members vote on whether or not to accept increasing the Association Fee to $325.00 per month.

ARCHITECTURE -  President Page reported for Chairperson Diane Kaplan that there was a request from 16 Spring Pond Circle to install additional windows. The Board decided that it would not be necessary to submit an additional request since it is merely an extension of the original project.

ELECTION - President Page reported that he received notification from Chairperson Pamela Milbury that Deb Strazzere and Beth Kaplan have been elected to the Board of Directors.

Congratulations to Deb and Beth.

LANDSCAPING -  Chairperson Clay Feeter noted that the mowing schedule could be changed to every other week if the lack of rain slows down the growth of grass. At that time El Rotsko submitted her annual request for permission from the Board to continue mowing every week at 8 Spring Pond Circle, if needed, with the understanding that the expense for mowing on an off week would be the responsibility of the homeowner and not the Association. The Board was in agreement and has approved this request.

MAINTENANCE -  Chairperson Lee Page reported that he performed tar repairs filling holes at  11 Ruch Lane.

SOCIAL - Chairperson Deb Strazzere reported that the committee met on May 22nd to prepare the dates and events for the coming year and that this information will be posted at the Community Center. 

NEW BUSINESS - There was some discussion about preparing a new communications program that would involve emailing every homeowner regarding any news, notices or updates that may  occur on a regular basis within the SPEHOA community and that these notices would have to be pre-approved by the Board of Directors prior to distribution to each Association member. Board Member Deb Strazzere suggested creating a new committee that could oversee, prepare and submit these notices once they have been Board approved. No official decision on this matter has been made at this time.

OLD BUSINESS - President Page requested that a motion be made, for the record, confirming he and Treasurer Strazzere will continue representing the SPEHOA as members of the AD HOC Committee relating to the complaint filed by Jeff Hudgins, Trustee for the estate of Sally Hudgins, 11 Ruch Lane. Vice President Pat Mirisola made a motion to continue the AD HOC Committee, seconded by Board Member Bob Milbury. Motion passed unanimously and will be on file for review.

Board Member Deb Strazzere made a motion to adjourn, seconded by Vice President Pat Mirisola. Motion passed. Meeting adjourned at 7:50 PM.

Respectfully Submitted,

Eleanor Rotsko

SPEHOA, Recording Secretary

 Increase in Monthly Dues

As approved in our Annual Meeting, the monthly dues have been increased to $325, starting with July's dues.

If you write a check, please make it out for $325 from now on.

If your bank sends a check, please make sure the amount is changed to $325.

A reminder that, per our By-Laws, dues are expected on the 1st of each month.

Please send in your dues on or before the 1st, so that we can get the money deposited in a timely manner and so I won't have to make many so trips to the bank.
