MEMORANDUM TO ALL RESIDENTS OF COUNTRY CLUB RIDGE

The following information highlights the September 23, 2003 meeting of the Board of Directors and is presented to you to keep you up to date on the issues at Country Club Ridge.

1. The pool party was a great success. It was well attended and it seemed that a good time was had by all. Photos will be posted in the laundry room by the main garage.  Feel free to post your pictures there as well.

2. We are finishing the installation of new lights at the entrances to the buildings. We only have about 30 more lights to install.

3. We will be soliciting proposals from three landscaping contractors and will keep you posted on this issue. The present contract we have extends through November of this year. We are also engaging a tree pruning service to keep our property in good shape.

4. The parking situation continues to be a problem. We are revising the current parking policy and will be distributing the new revised policy along with the new parking stickers within the next month. We are also waiting for bids on painting spaces on Rockledge Road to maximize space. We also have several garage spaces available. Please contact Roberta at AKAM NORTH (674-2100 x24) if you are interested in renting one.

5. We have notified the Town of Greenburgh that the disabled space near the entrance to the pool needs to be moved and are awaiting their response.

6. We will have a complete site inspection of the property done by Carnell Engineering by the end of October. This inspection report will help the Board prioritize the property maintenance and repair issues.

 7. All residents will soon be able to get a copy of the key to the storage room closest to their apartment and/or to any storage room where they have stored items. This new policy will allow residents access to their stored items without going through the porters. Please remember, however, that CCR is not responsible for stolen or damaged goods and items stored in these storerooms are placed there at the owner’s risk.

8. Please be advised that you must receive written approval from the Board of CCR before having a tag sale on the property. 

9. We have installed two new black mailboxes outside the Maintenance office. They are clearly labeled. One is for work orders, and the other is for correspondence to the Board. Please use them. We really need you to start using the Work Order Forms to allow us to keep track of maintenance issues and the rapidity with which our staff responds to the problems.  So please, don’t call Bob, but WRITE UP a WORK ORDER. They are available in the maintenance office. We suggest you take a few to have them on hand as needed.

10. We remind you once again that anonymous letters to the Board are not encouraged. We want to respond as quickly and as thoroughly as possible to the concerns of our residents but we cannot do this if we don't know who you are.  

11. Also, we remind you again that the Board is made up of volunteers. Please respect their privacy. If you have an emergency, call the maintenance office. If no one is there, the message on the machine gives you an emergency number to call for assistance (914-674-2100). If you must speak with a Board member, please use the mailbox outside the maintenance office and leave a note with your name, telephone number, and times that are good to call you. A member of the Board will contact you. If you do not receive a response, call AKAM NORTH and leave a message with them. Please DO NOT go to a Board member’s home or call them at home to complain or ask a question.

12. We encourage anyone with computer/internet expertise to contact the Board if s/he wishes to help get the CCR website up and running.

13. Please contact the Board if you have a financial background and would like to serve on the Board. We need a new member of the Board with expertise in this area to complete the Board.

14. We also encourage anyone with a desire to help serve the community to join the landscaping committee or the parking committee. We would welcome the help!
