The next regular Board meeting is tentatively scheduled for September 25, 2025.
The Co-ops’ 6th ANNIVERSARY celebration and the annual membership meeting took place on August 19th, 2025. Quorum was achieved; however sign-in time needed to be extended to do so. The raffle was drawn as soon as the meeting came to order. Congratuations to Victor C – Lexington Rd., the winner of one month free lot rent.
The President’s progress report was provided, and thanks were given to all the volunteer/committee members, as well as the impromptu volunteers who lend a hand to make the committee’s work a bit lighter. The Volunteer Maintenance committee members have saved the Co-op approximately $145,000 over the past 6 years.
Speed Limit markings were placed on all the roads in the community. Neighborhood watch signs have been placed in the common areas to inform folks that this community is watchful of the activity that occurs in the park. The Board is in the process of obtaining an upgraded security system that will provide a wider range of areas and more vivid night vision.
Five priority Leach fields were scheduled and in the process of replacement. Once completed, planning for the next set of priority Leach fields will be developed for this fiscal year, which begins on October 1st.
Electrical planning will be developed for the next set of priority upgrades for this year. We have hired an engineering firm to oversee these projects to make certain that the work is being done efficiently, effectively, and in a timely manner.
The Ballot to approve the 2025/26 Budget, Lot Rent increase, Community Rules amendments, Bylaw amendments, and election for the President, Secretary, Directors 1, 2 & 3 was passed by the majority of the membership quorum. Results were posted on the Members’ Social Media private group page the day after the annual meeting, once the vote count was confirmed.
The President’s position had no nominees; therefore, the Board nominated the current President, holding the position whose term limit had expired. Once the ballots were counted and the membership approved the Bylaw amendment allowing a Board member whose term limits had expired to run if no one else accepted a nomination, the Board had the authority to appoint the current President holding that position. G.Pezzo accepted the appointment.
The 6th Annual meeting celebration went well, with 83 residents in attendance.
A brief regular meeting took place following the adjournment of the annual meeting. G.Pezzo was officially appointed to the position of Board President.
The Board approved a policy surrounding Vendor Property Damage, reflecting the steps homeowners must take to report any damage that occurs.
The Village of Westbury received a grant from the Vermont Community Foundation allocated to support physical activity and community wellness. The Village Trustees have generously donated six thousand dollars of the grant money to the Co-op for use this coming Fall and Spring, and the Co-op Board appreciatively accepted the donation.
Wishing you all a lovely Fall Season!
