WINDCREST EAST HOA BOD MEETING

MARCH 30, 2015

The meeting was called to order by Felicia Ayoub at 10:30 A.M.

The attendees were Felicia Ayoub, Barbara Caramore, Frank Cavallaro and Jack Tyniec; Walter

Blanck

The Minutes of the meeting of February 24, 2015 were reviewed, Motion made by Frank and

seconded by Jack to accept the Minutes; all in favor, Motion approved.

Financial Report

February income was $54,920and operating expenses were $42,922 for a variance of $11,998. Year to

date income was $115,556 and expenses were $117,395 for a variance of ($1,839).

March checks issued through March 24 totaled $50,848.73

Old Business

DC Electric is expected to be here Tuesday, March 31 to start repair work. They have received

delivery of the fixtures needed to replace those that are missing or damaged and will be installing

them.

A representative from CertainTeed was at WCE on Wednesday, March 18 2015. Frank met with

him and they checked the roofs of ten homes. They found that all shingles are date stamped by the

manufacturer with the date they were manufactured. All of the homes’ roof shingles are beyond the

warranty period. The roofs were found to have algae on the surfaces but the algae presents no

problem to the integrity of the roofs. The representative indicated that there is a spray treatment for

algae available. He also stated that “organic products are no good”. Once the spray is applied it is

left on the shingles, it is not washed or brushed off. Frank and the rep then visited Town Hall in

Riverhead where they were able to view records indicating the dates on which each roof was

installed. The HOA BOD will obtain information regarding the algae spray treatment. The official

report from CertainTeed is expected to go to Greenview Properties, then to David Eldridge, our

attorney, and then to the BOD.

We are waiting to hear from North Fork Seal Coating to schedule evaluating our roadways for

winter damage.

In addition to the various questions presented at the Managers’ Meeting, copy of which follows these

Minutes, Felicia received a question from the Social Committee requesting the removal of the wall

unit in the card room and replacing the television with a flat screen TV. Although the BOD members

do not view this as an urgent matter, they will look into the need for this as well as the cost.

There were two issues presented by residents at the Managers’ Meeting that were referred to Steve

from Lawn Elements for reply. These answers will be discussed at the next monthly HOA BOD

meeting.

New Business

The BOD members met with Artan Domi of Universal Roofing and Chimney to discuss roof repair,

chimney flashing as well as waterproofing stone work, chimney chase covers and other issues relating

to the maintenance of our residences. He will be preparing estimates for a few specific areas of

repairs needed in the community.

NOTES FROM HOA MANAGERS’ MEETING MARCH 19, 2015

The meeting was called to order by Felicia Ayoub at 10:30 A.M.

The attendees from the HOA BOD were Felicia Ayoub, Walter Blanck, Barbara Caramore, and Jack Tyniec;

Frank Cavallaro was absent; and from the Condo Managers the attendees were Tony Blasi, Pat Dodge, Fred

Meister, Pat Welby and Dee Willoe; Jim Mikelbank was absent. Frank Cavallaro was not at the meeting because,

at the time of the meeting, he was with the representative from CertainTeed who was responsible for evaluating

the shingles.

Felicia welcomed all attendees. She indicated that the BOD had requested that residents with questions or concerns

regarding WCE contact their Condo Managers with the issues and the Managers would then present them at this

meeting.

Tony, who has recently been appointed a Manager in Condo I, had not as yet received any questions and Fred also

indicated that he had not been contacted by any of the residents. Pat D. said she had received some inquiries

regarding who has the responsibility for the roof repairs and roof replacement on the homes. Felicia assured her

that she was correct in informing the residents that the roof is the responsibility of the HOA and stated that

repairs and replacement are for “function not cosmetics”. Pat W. indicated that he had not been contacted by any

of the residents with questions and then expressed his appreciation for all that the WCE residents had done for

him during his recent illness indicating that for each of his seven trips into the city for treatment, a resident

volunteered to drive him to the hospital.

Dee received an email from a resident concerning ice on the driveway at her home, explaining the conditions that

existed this winter as well as stating what had previously been done to correct the condition. Felicia stated that the

BOD will once again evaluate the situation. Dee also received an email regarding the landscaping at the main

entrance as well as the sand and salt on the roadways in the community. Steve from Lawn Elements will be

contacted and asked to evaluate both issues.

BOD members received an email from a resident with three questions. The first is in reference to the staining on

the roofs of some homes. This matter is being investigated and evaluated. We hope to receive a response from

CertainTeed shortly. The second question concerns open vs. closed HOA Board meetings. In fact, the State of

New York does not require open HOA Board meetings. The third question concerns the availability of WCE HOA

financial information. It was suggested by the email writer that this material be physically present in the

Clubhouse. This matter was resolved when the Article 78 lawsuit was settled. All records are maintained and can

be made available to residents for viewing at the property manager’s office.

Jack indicated that he is working on the 2014 Annual Report and expects to have it available by the end of April.

The next Manager’s Meeting will be in June, date to be determined.

The meeting was adjourned at 11:35 A.M.
