October Community Updates
The last installment of the $7500 special assessment was due in September.
Two Trustee positions are open and will be voted for at the October meeting.
Cranberry harvest is approaching, and Brookside has the good fortune to have a working cranberry bog adjacent to the property. Don’t miss seeing the harvest, largely unchanged from decades past!
August 2023 BoardCast
Brookside has so much owner participation in running and maintaining the community, probably the biggest reason that everyone loves living here! There are 16 standing committees, going beyond the usual landscape and social activities, with over 57 homeowners volunteering their time and expertise. Very impressive!
August Updates:
- Brookside Welcomes Bob Linney as the new Barkan Account Executive
- Proposed Amendment to Transfer Responsibility for Front Porch Repairs to the Association Failed. There were 146 votes cast, with 98 votes in favor of the proposal; amounting to only 42.03% of the beneficial interest. The proposal failed to achieve the needed support from the community.
- Vacancies exist on some important committees – the Wastewater Treatment Facility (WWTF), Upgrade Committee and the Vendor Selection and Evaluation Guidelines Committee. If you wish to serve on any of these, email Board Chairman Joe Mattingly at joseph_mattingly@ymail.com.
- Election Committee has been Formed for 2023 Board of Trustees Election Cycle
- Board of Trustees Open Hours are now Monthly – the Board will have open hours from 2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. on the third Tuesday of each month.
- Any requests for landscaping, irrigation, or other Brookside services should be submitted as a work order to the Barkan Yardi system.
- The updated Capital Plan is expected to be ready to share with VBC residents in September 2023.

Community Forum Details – June 26th
Summer is almost here!
The VBC trustees invite have invited residents to attend and participate in a Community Forum. The forum will be held at the Canal Club on June 26th from 6-8pm.
This will be a great opportunity for an informal and candid conversation for residents to have with the VBC trustees. The trustees plan to start with a discussion of a proposed amendment to the VBC Declaration of Trust to transfer responsibility for the maintenance and repair of unit front porches from unit owners to the HOA. They will then open it up to topics the residents wish to discuss.
This is a fantastic opportunity to get in front of the Board and have your voice heard.
