Key Items
2022 Budget / Assessment: Proposed 2022 annual assessment of $333.00. Budget discussed and approved for mailing to homeowners. Formal adoption deferred to November Board Meeting. Assessment increase driven by higher insurance costs; pond maintenance burn expense already factored into reserve (not a new cost).
Financial Review: Board elected to proceed with compilation and tax return only, rather than a full financial audit.
Social: Hawthorne’s Backyard outing on July 9 — approximately 20 homeowners attended.
Landscape: Route 59 fence string-trimming gap resolved (contractor had not been trimming; branches were extending through fence).
