Open Meeting Results

Joseph Penevolpe ran unopposed and was elected to an additional two year term.

The October financial report was reviewed and noted that the Association was running an operating profit of $28,705.00 (YTD)

The 2021 operating budget was passed with no increase to the monthly assessments.

The Property Manager and Board discussed the project to replace the sprinkler system which will be operational in the spring. The project was completed out of the existing reserve funds and no additional assessment was required. They also discussed the previously postponed roof replacement project. This will be revisited in the spring of 2021 and a decision will be made then as to whether to proceed with the project.

Gutter Cleaning

Starting Monday June 8th, we will be starting gutter cleaning of all the buildings within the community We wanted to let the residents know in case you see the workers up on ladders.

Thank you

Power Washing

Starting on Monday, May 18th and continuing into either Wednesday or Thursday, we will be power washing buildings 1, 2, 3 & 4 (Units 1 through 77). During this time we would ask owners and residents to remove any plants, or other fragile/breakable items from their patio and porch areas, and keep any windows closed.

As the township does not allow us to utilize hydrant hookups, the crews will have to utilize the outside spigots for the units. The contractor has been given explicit instructions to swap out to different spigots every couple of units if possible, so as to minimize the water usage from any one unit.

If you have any questions, please contact the property managers office at 732-985-8500 x4516

Thank You!
