Old Business – from September
- Rug Cleaning: On September 29th, rugs on the first and second floor and lobby were cleaned by Extreme Cleaners. Next year the third floor will be included in the annual cleaning.
- Trees: Haddon Tree Company will remove the tree stumps, on Friday, October 15th. Sod will be placed on the areas of removal. Next spring, Steve Papp, along with the guidance of our tree company representative, will determine the type of trees to replace those lost due to Ida’s winds.
- Pool: Our pool closed on September 19th. New lounge chairs are recommended for next summer. R. Neel plumbing will drain the pool pipe lines.
- Board of Trustees Election: Two applications, from Dennis Bush and Janet Sassano, were received for the two open, three-year terms on the Board of Trustees. Therefore, we do not need to have an election. Dennis Bush and Janet Sassano are the Board members.
New Business
- Budget: The 2022 budget will be presented at the November condo meeting and voted on at the December meeting. Ida caused considerable damage to our landscape and we are waiting for an evaluation from our insurance company to pay the cost of cleanup.
- New signs: There is a new sign in the entry by the intercom and on each trash room door. Replacement of maroon signs will be gradual and ongoing.
- Kitchen Drains: Drains will be cleaned on Friday, November 12th from 8:00 AM to 1:00 PM. Notices will be distributed a few days prior to the cleaning.
- Contact numbers: Heather House uses the following companies for plumbing and heating issues. These numbers are for your convenience if you want to use either company for personal problems within your own condo.
- Plumbing – M.R. Neel Plumbing, 856-506-3400
- Heating – Hutchinson (residential), 888-777-4501
