The following items were discussed and or approved at the November board meeting:

• I announced the resignation of Ron Smilowitz from the board.
• Jill Varricchio was selected by the board to replace Ron on the board. She will fill his position until his term would have been over. She will also be in charge of the pool.
• The board was notified the Marianne Hallahan would not be seeking re-election for her position as our representative on the recreation board.
• Marie Cuillerier has agreed to be on the ballot to replace Marianne.
• Luke Southam, representing Breezeline, presented information on the upgrade to our cable contract to be part of our regular quarterly maintenance. This upgrade would provide Wi-Fi, a new Tivo service which will have a new Tivo box, with two slave Tivo boxes, providing full Tivo service to three TVs in your home. In addition, storage of all recordings will be on the cloud which means you will never lose any recordings.
• I presented the budget for 2024 with an increase from $635 per quarter to $680. The $45 per quarter increase was due to the increase required from our contribution to the recreation board. The budget includes, upgrades and necessary repairs to our sprinkler system, upgrade to our Breezline cable service as described above and maintaining our reserve.
• The budget for 2024 of $680 per quarter was approved.
• The upgrade to our Breezline service was approved, which should save any homeowner who is currently
  using Wi-fi approximately $150 per quarter.

The issue of our lollipop light bulbs was discussed. The board was shown a 4000k vs 3000k for comparison. The board approved that any new replacements must be 3000k and each homeowner can decide if they want to change their current bulb to 3000. This item was on the agenda because a homeowner found an article from the AMA, the article stated that 4000k was harmful.

The board approved replacement fixtures, if homeowner desires to replace the globe, for the lollipops, they are available at Home Depot.

I presented the issue of roofing for a middle unit in a triplex. This homeowner has an estimate for roof repair of $3,500. I requested the board to invoke our roofing amendment that requires if a roof needs to be replaced the remaining units in the building must agree to pay for their portion of the replacement. The estimated roof replacement for this building was $38,225.00, or $12,741 per homeowner. Some members of the board were questioning the approval of the amendment and what was required. This matter was tabled until the December meeting.
