3.       Town Supervisor Paul Feiner was invited to the meeting to discuss the ownership of the  “Unclaimed Road” on East Hartsdale Ave.  Options on future use of the road were discussed for further review.  The Board brought to Paul’s attention that the alternate side of the street parking on Rockledge was a problem during the winter.  Paul suggested that we email him and he will look into the situation for us.

4.       Shareholders utilizing online banking or direct payment through their bank should make sure that the bank remittance amount reflects the correct amount of your total monthly charges.

5.       The new STAR credits start on January 1, 2006 through December 31, 2006.  If you are a new shareholder or have never filed for STAR, please file with the Town of Greenburgh.  If you have any questions, please contact Melissa Cirillo at Hudson North 914-674-2100, x29.

If you have Basic STAR there is no need to apply again unless you move.  If you qualify for Enhanced STAR you must either renew your application annually, or apply for the OIV program.  The OIV program allows eligible seniors to register with the Department of Taxation and Finance to verify their income eligibility each year, so that they do not need to reapply for Enhanced STAR every year.  For more information please call 914.345.0432.  To download STAR or OIV applications please visit www.orps.state.ny.us.  The deadline to file is June 1, 2006.

6.       The Westchester County Home Energy Assistance Program offers a one-time payment of $100 to eligible households that apply before March 31, 2006.  A family of four with a maximum income of $53,000 would qualify. The number to call is 914-995-6759. Applications are also available on line at www.westchestergov.com.

Residents with lower incomes may be eligible for the federal Heating Energy Assistance Program, administered by the Westchester County.  A resident interested in applying for HEAP may schedule an appointment to determine eligibility.  The number to call is  914-995-5619.

 7.       Fuel Oil Deliveries: This heating season (from 10/1/05 through 1/5/2006) 65,485 gallons of #2 fuel oil have been delivered to CCR at a price per gallon ranging from $1.83 to $2.23.  Last year from 10/1/2005 thru 12/2005 our deliveries were 78,126 gallons and we paid the “capped” rate of $1.49 per gallon.  Our cap rate for this heating season (through April 2006) is $2.29 per gallon.

 Pricing for fuel oil fluctuates daily. Today’s delivery cost would be $1.99 per gallon. We can only hope that the rest of the heating season will remain mild and prices remain steady and do not increase any further.

 7.   Storage Areas:  For all residents who utilize storage areas, or those who have stored items in the open areas please make sure you seasonally clean them out, especially combustible materials including mattresses, overstuffed furniture, carpet, cardboard boxes, newspapers and magazines, paint, oil, etc.  All items must be tagged with the resident’s name, unit and current year.

 8.       Carbon Monoxide Detectors:  It is recommended that all residents install Carbon Monoxide Detectors along with smoke detectors in your unit.

 9.   During the winter season, there will be no garbage pick up when we have heavy snow storms.  Please do not leave your garbage in the hall overnight.  Your neighbors thank you for your consideration.

 10.  If residents see any dangerous ice or snow conditions, please call Bob Voss so the staff can sand, salt, and address the situation properly.

 11.  Bob Voss must be informed of all interior alterations to CCR units, including electrical or plumbing work.  All work must be performed by licensed insured contractors.

 12.  The Board would like residents to be aware that any correspondence directed to the Board will be reviewed and discussed by the Board, and responded to by the Managing Agent.

 13.  The next board meeting is scheduled for Thursday, February 2, 2006.
