Treasurer\u2019s Report<\/u><\/p>\n

Treasurer C.

Liscomb moved, J. Fuda 2nd<\/sup>, that the proposed 2022 Meadow Hill budget and capital expense, capital improvements, and reserve analysis be accepted by the board. The motion was approved unanimously.\u00a0<\/u><\/p>\n

President\u2019s Remarks<\/u><\/p>\n

President T. Dolan expressed the community\u2019s heartfelt condolences to Nancy Roberts, in the loss of her horse, Dutchess and stated that her presence brought joy to the community. President Dolan reported that she had sat in on three different budget committee meetings and was extremely impressed with the diligence and hard work of the members and that each brought a different perspective. Each had a wealth of experience. David Faxon and Larry Abbott were each former board treasurers and Angelo DiMarco brought his expertise as a business leader. Chris Keating, a former board member, brought her perspective as a community member. They did a fabulous job and I want to commend Connie for being the leader in bringing forward such a great budget.<\/p>\n

President Dolan also announced that the board meetings for January, February, March will be via Zoom\u00a0 because so many residents are gone for the winter.
\nShe also mentioned that we’re planning to establish a Long-term Study Committee. This idea came out of the budget deliberations. The committee will be charged with developing a list of items to be considered moving forward and bring forth a report with recommendations on major projects and our needs for the future. Dave Faxon, Larry Abbot], Jim Fuda, Angelo Demarco, in consultation with Connie [Liscomb] will start that process after the first of the year. Jim Fuda will be the chair.<\/p>\n

Maintenance Report<\/u><\/p>\n

Covert reported that they are about 80% done with adding leaf guards and 80% done cleaning gutters and will then continue focusing on garage trim and garage bottoms.<\/p>\n
