HIGHLIGHTS OF THE JUNE 9, 2004
MEETING OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
OF THE COUNTRY CLUB RIDGE TENANTS CORP. 
 

1.   Committees have been established to deal with the many issues facing CCR. Several owners signed up for the various committees at the Annual Meeting.  If you have not yet volunteered for a committee and you are interested in joining the committees, please contact the appropriate Board member with your name, apt number, and a phone number and you will be invited to the next committee meeting.  We urge everyone to get involved—we want your input!!  You can have a voice in how the complex is run, but you must take action and get involved.

2.   Committee meetings will be set up in the near future.  Notices will be issued with time and place - once residents not at the Annual Meeting have had a chance to sign up for committee service.

3.   Trees down by the pool have been pruned to allow for less debris in the pool and better filtration and cleanliness in the pool system. We realize some shade was lost, but this pruning was necessary in order to keep the pool filtration system working properly.

4.   A new Webmaster is needed to help maintain the website. Anyone interested in helping us in this matter should immediately contact the Board.  As a result of the lack of a Webmaster, the website has been down for almost 2 weeks, and we will continue to have trouble until we can find some help in fixing it.  Please hand in your work orders to the maintenance office on paper until further notice.  We apologize, but any work order submitted via the web in the past 2 weeks was not received and must be re-submitted in written form.

5.   Termite bait stations are to be installed soon. We have adopted a much more aggressive termite reduction program, which, although costly, should alleviate the problem more tangibly.

6.   Our insurance broker, David Levitt of Levitt-Fuirst Associates, was present at the meeting to discuss
the renewal of the master insurance policy for CCR.  Both the frequency and the severity of insurance claims over the last few years have resulted in a 100% increase in our insurance rates.  We are exploring all options available in order to incorporate this unforeseen expense into the budget.

7.   We have recently heard from several residents who are angry at being booted. Some of them have asked for the institution of a fine, instead of being booted. The Board rejected this alternative because we do not presently have the money to pay someone specifically to monitor the complex day and night for illegal parkers.  Collection of fines from people who dispute them would be very difficult.  We are paying our security personnel to patrol the complex for any and all types of illegal activities – unauthorized parking is just one thing they are on the look out for.  The security guard has a cell phone with a camera.  He takes pictures of the incomplete or re-used guest passes on the dashboards of offending cars.  The picture is proof that an offender was NOT following the rules as written.  If you follow the rules, you will not be booted.  Please help us maintain this system, which has all but eliminated outside parkers on our property.  Also, please do not involve maintenance men in the issue of booting. They do not have authority to dismiss booting charges and should NOT be paged to complain.  If you have a problem, write the Board and we will contact our security to obtain the reason for the boot. 

8.   Please DO NOT block your neighbor in when s/he is in a double space by parking behind him/her. It is recommended that you clear it with your neighbor before you park behind him/her.  A note on your dashboard with your apartment # is insufficient as emergencies can occur when a person needs to get out immediately.  This has happened.  We must work to arrange parking in the double spaces between neighbors.  We cannot police this, nor do we wish to do so.  Please use logic and courtesy and settle those differences civilly amongst yourselves.

 Thank you.
