Committee Reports:
Architectural Control: Mike has been checking trees, grass, etc. Today, a gentlemen named Peter has volunteered to help John out. Architectural Control. John is still not feeling well. Approval has been given for roofs and solar panels.
By-Laws: The final draft was reviewed by the By-law Committee. We will be reprinting the final version of the By-laws and Declaration of Covenants and Restrictions, and they will be mailed to all homeowners, hopefully, in August. Separate ballots will be included in this mailing for a vote of these documents. We now need to complete the Rules and Regulations. President Pelonero requested that all trustees submit to the office with a list of what they would like the rules and regulations to include within the next week. Sheds will also be included in the rules and regulations.
Codes: Joe McCreary received a call about a kiddie wading pool being allowed in the back yard when the grandchildren visit. Mike responded that the wading pool would be allowed as long as the water is emptied out every night. Should there be something more than a wading pool set up the office should be notified.
Common Grounds and Forestry: We continue to spend quite a bit on trees.
Recreation: The Rec Committee is holding a “Night under the Stars” to be held on September 14, 2019 that is free to residents only; hot dogs and hamburgers will be supplied by the Rec Committee but attendees are being asked to bring a pot luck dish. A sign-up sheet will be provided and tickets will be distributed at time of reservation. On October 13, 2019, the Volunteer Party will be held at the Clarion. On December 8, 2019, a Christmas extravaganza will be held with the chorus, a dinner and a performance for us by the Wrinkle Review. On December 12th, we are also planning a bus trip to New York City to see the Christmas lights with a luncheon at a restaurant in Union City; fliers are in the lobby.
Unfinished Business: None
New Business: The by-law information was new business.
Announcements: Articles for the Sentinel are due Friday, July 12, 2019. We need to try to stick to the schedule to ensure that residents receive their Sentinel on a timely basis. We ask that you submit articles for the newsletter through our e-mail address, [email protected].
Robo call sign-up continues.
We continue to be in need of a volunteer for Secretary as well as other areas.
We are going to institute summer hours for the office this Friday through Labor Day. We will be open Monday-Thursday 9 AM – 12 Noon and closed on Fridays. Next year we will have summer hours June through August. All trustees were polled and had no problem with this change for the summer.
Good & Welfare: Vivian Evanchik spoke about the Friendship Circle Holiday Party for the Head Start children of Berkeley Township. The Berkeley Township Head Start program has been rolled over to the Brick program this year. Vivian placed a call to them to find out what has actually occurred; perhaps there will be more children than we can handle since we were including Barnegat with Berkeley. Vivian is also checking to see if the date could be changed to December 11th instead of December 12th and will keep us informed.
A homeowner asked about a timeline for changing the size of the sheds. Mike responded that it would be as soon as the by-laws and covenants are approved.
A homeowner asked for a status report on the lawsuit regarding the realtors and the flippers in our communities. We received a favorable outcome but they are appealing that decision. We are opposed to a bill in the Assembly in Trenton where they want to come out and visit associations to see how things are handled so they can change things.
President Pelonero requested a motion to adjourn the meeting. Joanne Matina made a motion to adjourn; Elizabeth Wismann seconded the motion. All in favor; motion carried. The meeting was adjourned at 2:33 PM.
Respectfully submitted,
Rita Palacios
Secretary- Pro Tempore
