Remember the winter of 2015, snowmageddon?
Community Updates
There have been some changes at Brookside since my last post. The management company has changed to Barkan Management. There is an onsite management office on Springbrook Court.
The new board has five members: Tom McLaughlin, Joe Dannis, Gordon Snell, Ed Iwaniki, and Mike O’Malley.
The Board is exploring the possibility of installing security gates. A few years ago, Waze started to suggest Brookside as an alternate route during heavy summer traffic periods. An unwelcome surprise, for sure!
Thanksgiving at the Brew
This gets my vote for the most imaginative and charming seasonal decoration. It’s at The Daily Brew in Cataumet, and word has it that Jackie’s fabulous daughters are the makers. Great job, Daily Brewettes! You provide us not only with yummy and fast breakfast and lunch sustenance, but also always a warm welcome!
Annual Meeting, 9/28/19
The annual meeting was held Sat., 9/28/19. The major discussion was about the Sea Knoll repairs, which have been ongoing all summer, very difficult for the homeowners. The special assessment for all Brookside homeowners came to around $1300-1350, depending on size of unit and amenities. That covered roof replacements. Sea Knoll homeowners will be required to pay for window replacements as needed. It’s been congested, noisy, and dirty. Hopefully, the result will be well worth it.
Sea Knoll Repairs
Repairs to Sea Knoll exteriors are scheduled to start July 15. The special assessment for these repairs will be around $1050-1450 per unit, depending on their percentage interest. Larger units, and those with three season porches and/or finished basements will pay more. Still, it’s a minimal cost, especially being mindful that the only other special assessment in the past many years was 2015, when we had “Snowmageddon”, and needed to cover plowing costs that greatly exceeded the budget. That assessment was about $500-600 per unit, as I recall. Brookside is a financially strong community, with reasonable monthly fees, and minimal special assessments. And an exceptional reserve fund.
Pool is open, golfing has started, beach is beautiful! Another wonderful summer is beginning at the Villages at Brookside.
