The next meeting is the AGM, scheduled for September 14th, 8.00pm and will be held at the Dobbs Ferry Library.
The primary purpose of the meeting was to review the proposed document to provide clarifications to the by-laws to be presented at the AGM. In addition to this the following topics were discussed.
Driveway
Toni presented an alternate blacktop repair technology that had been recommended to her. Given that it is relatively new technology the board voted to proceed with the planned repairs using known technology instead.
The repairs will be carried out on Tuesday 24th August. There will be short periods when small areas of the driveway will be cordoned off, and you will need to avoid these.
The sealing work will be carried out on Tuesday August 31st, with the potential for it to carry on into Wednesday September 1st. During this time and for 24 hours after completion of the work, no one will be able to drive on the property. We will need to plan in advance to park cars if they are needed on one of the surrounding streets.
As the sealant is applied, we need to avoid walking on the newly applied, still wet areas.  This will prevent you from getting the sealant onto your shoes and tracking it over flagstones, or into your house/car.
Please note also that the sprinkler system will be turned off from Sunday August 29th for a few days to accommodate the work.
Gardening
When the fronts of some units were re planted following the losses suffered during winter 2009-10, Unit 5 was missed. Anne will chase Carlos regarding this.
Snow Clearing
We will review the contract with Civitano to ensure that Calcium Chloride is used rather than the more damaging rock salt.
HOA Officers
Ann Tannenbaum was appointed as secretary to replace Rob Parke.
Any Other Business
All remaining item follow ups and other business was held over to the next meeting to allow time for discussion of the proposed document to provide clarifications to the by-laws to be presented at the AGM
Respectfully Submitted,
Mick Cartwright
