6. Financial Update: Lou Petix
         The finances for our community are in good order. We are a community 
          that is getting older and with that more repairs and maintenance are
          needed. These have now become  our largest part of the budget.

              b- Tree Trimming
              c- Window and foundation repairs
              d- STP plant
              e- Gate repairs
          Other items that have significantly increased due to inflation 
          include Utilities (Electric and Gas) and Liability insurance.
7. Board of Directors: Joe Cerullo
        The board is doing our best to minimize increases in the monthly HOA fees
        or have an assessment but with all the rising costs we may be compelled to
        do so in the future. 
8. Beautification Project Update: Joe Cerullo
         The work that has been completed looks wonderful. We have stayed within 
          our budget and will  have approximately $22,000 left. We will reassess
          in the fall and see what areas still need additional plantings.
         Joe Polizzi asked: Are we going to clean up the area?
         Yes, there will be a general clean up.
         Pat Dawson asked: Will the berm area also be cleaned up? 
         Yes, that will be cleaned up also.
9. Community Projects  
        Indoor pool and inspection.
        Annual Clubhouse cleaning. This will begin the 2nd and 3rd week of September.
10. Safety Issues:
       a-  Smoke and CO2 detectors: are the owners responsibility to replace both 
          the detectors and batteries as required .
       b- Dryer vents should be cleaned every 1-3 years depending on usage.
       c- All homeowners are encouraged to check their insurance policies
           to ensure they are up to date and have the proper coverage.
       d- Linda Hasenmeyer stated that 19 Emily Way has been vacant for over
           a year now. Can we find out what is happening in that unit?
           The fees are being paid, next month when HPM receives the HOA fees
           they hope to contact the person who is sending the checks. 
11. Board of  Directors Elections
         -Two positions are available.
         -The positions available are Joe Cerullo and Marianne Fohn.
         -If you run for the board it does not mean you will get the functional 
          responsibility of the position you replaced. The board votes after the 
          election who will fill which position.
12. HPM Update: Dave Morse
         - Ray Dawson asked about his car link not working properly at the
            front gate.
            Dave replied that we may need a possible loop repaired. It was also
            noted that since the tower across from our Community has become 5G, we have
            had many issues as a result. 
         - Pat Dawson stated that she was a passenger in a car and as they 
             were coming in the gate came down on the car. No damage.
         - Pool gates are not working properly. They are locking too early.
         -John Suozzi stated the front gate was not working properly. 
              An ambulance could not get in.
              Dave replied that all ambulances have been tested and all have been
              supplied with clickers to open our gate.
         -Diane Ward complained about residents opening their doors and 
              letting their dogs out.
              It was suggested that she take a picture of the offenders and their 
              dogs and send it to HPM.
         -John Suozzi stated 4D workers are bringing their personal cars in
              the neighborhood and parking. No specifics were stated.
          -Pat Dawson asked if we could place a "No Trespassing" sign  on
               the back gate?
               HPM can do this.
          - Linda Hasenmeyer asked about the Villas sign on our property?
                As soon as all our agreed work is completed by them we will have the
                sign removed. 
          - Joe Polizzi requested if an AED can be placed at the pickleball/tennis
                courts?
                HPM will look into this.
          - Sue Connors asked about the sandbags in the ponds?
                We hope to be able to "burp" the bubble in the bladder where the
                bags at the edge of the pond. The ones in the middle we can not "burp"
                so we are looking for alternatives. Someday our liners will need to be 
                replaced.
           - Ray Dawson asked if the HPMLI website was up yet?
                 Dave noted that they are still having issues.  Ray offered his assistance.

        Our next meeting will be in October where we will announce the election results. There is no meeting this night.
