FINANCIAL
REVIEW
The October financial
report was sent out electronically in advance of the meeting. The balance sheet as of October reflects
$26,611 in the operating account and $43,106 in reserves. Sheryl asked whether everyone had paid the
extra condo fee last month. Pam stated
that the association collected $12,148 compared with $13,553 that should have
been collected demonstrating that most had paid. There being no further questions, the October
financial report was accepted as presented.
OLD
BUSINESS
Miguel has finished the
touch up painting and the wall and molding in the basement of building 107 has
now been restored.
Sheryl asked about the
carpet cleaning, the trustees decided to hold off on this at the last board
meeting until spring.
NEW BUSINESS
The
wrought Iron Railing is being fabricated and will be installed in the next few
weeks. Sheryl stated that if it got too
cold, she believed it would be better to hold off until spring so as not to
compromise the installation due to cold weather. Pam spoke with the contractor who assured
that weather should not be a factor.
Ning
asked about RCN. Jeff stated that he
let representatives into the building over the weekend and that RCN had
distributed flyers alerting residents they could now begin to sign up for
service. However, RCN was out to do an installation this
morning and Pam was notified by RCN that they needed access to the wires that
were in the “locked” Comcast Box. Pam
will follow up with both RCN and Comcast in an effort to expedite residents
being able to obtain alternate service.
The
next item on the agenda was to approve the budget for F/Y 2013. Pam had prepared a “draft” budget for the
trustees to review and approve, up-dating it with the most recent figures as of
October 2012. There
will
be no increase in condo fees next year.
Sheryl suggested budgeting $1,000 for trash removal in the

the association opted to purchase a new dumpster next year. Pam will make that change. The trustees accepted the budget for F/Y
2013 with no increase in fees.
MISCELLANEOUS OTHER BUSINESS
The new “water hog”
entrance mats that Sheryl had suggested have been placed in the entrances of
both buildings.
Sheryl has now removed
the drywall underneath the bay windows in the living room of her unit (111-19) overlooking
Queensberry Street. No evidence of
moisture was found behind the wall.
Michael Grappo suggested to Pam that due to his
schedule, the trustees think about meeting every other month instead of
monthly. The consensus was to not meet
in December, meet again in January and schedule the annual meeting of unit
owners in February. The schedule and
frequency of meetings will be
re-evaluated at that time.
There being no further business, the meeting
adjourned at 7:20PM.
