In Attendance: Jack Keeley, Jay Harter, Dom Aleardi, Michael Pincus, Judy Jurgan and Janet Burgess
Reading of the December minutes was waived.
Master Association:
PECO: A two-hour meeting was held with Michelle Truitt, the Township Supervisor who has an “in” with PECO. PECO is buying 3 or 4 new switches by spring for $250K. They will also spend $4M on surveying the neighborhood for trees that need to come down due to proximity to their wires.
GENERATORS:
- Putting a generator at the Community Center for when power in the Mill is off was discussed. This would be especially important for those with disabilities requiring the use of oxygen or other medical equipment.
- Set up an HM medical team of resident volunteers to assist those who require help was also brought up.
COMMUNITY CENTER: The consensus is that more are in favor of the Community Center addition than against it. Troon Village is against it. 8 Villages did not circulate the request for suggestions regarding the activity rooms to be established in the addition.
- The Bocce Court and Shuffleboard will be moved in the spring
Sewer System: The smell is gone. A study was done and procedures were recommended for the sewer system and the lagoon.
Architecture:
Landscaping:
Another tree fell in front of 584 and tree branches were blown down on 597.
Janet Burgess of CSK attending a meeting with Hershey’s’ Mill Landscaping. A lot of excuses were made for not trimming the Rhododendrons.
They do not have enough crew. They go to a “pool” to find workers for landscaping and snow removal. Due to virtual learning there are no high school or college students available for landscaping or snow removal. There were not a lot of positive responses from HML. The snow removal was not great during the most recent storm.
Unit 571 is experiencing issues with mud in their garage.
Pool: The new pool company is doing a good job so far.
Documents:
Mike Pincus reported that the specs for the “sunrooms” has to be removed as the 1986 specs no longer apply.
Dom will do specs for the proper paint applications.
Walking Trail: The Master Association will present a firm proposal for the walking trail. A meeting will be held, including the residents who reside on Chandler to determine if and how we move forward.
Lift Master:
Franklin Village will purchase the batteries for the garage doors, figure out the labor for installing them and sell them to residents.
The meeting was adjourned at 4:45PM
