Brookside Community Updates

September 25, 2024 by Nadine

  • Annual meeting coming up on 10/26 ay 10:00 AM at the Bridge View Grill Function Room. Election of two Trustee positions to take place. Candidates’ night at 6:00 PM on Tuesday, 10/16.
  • The 2024 budget included an 11% increase in operational expenditures and COA fees, due to a 34% increase in the insurance premium, a situation experienced by all condo associations.
  • A new reserve study was presented in December of 2023, which noted that only 12% of fully funded reserve is actually funded. A plan has been implemented to strengthen the reserve fund to an appropriate level.
  • Laurel Hill roofing was completed in June.
  • A supplemental operations assessment averaging $2000 per unit was levied, to pay current operating obligations.
  • A new control panel was installed in the Wastewater Treatment Facility, and the ad hoc WWTF committee is overseeing the relicensing process.
  • The pool received a new heater, the showers received a new hot water heater, and a dehumidifier was installed.
  • Painting continued on schedule, with 31 units completed.
  • Funding of the long-term capital plan was the subject of thorough analysis, discussion, and consideration of options for payment. It was decided to increase the 2025 monthly COA reserve contribution from unit owners to an average of $551/mth, starting January 1, 2025. Although this may negatively impact some sales, it should ensure greater stability for the community, and alleviate the need for additional special assessments.
  • The Board recognizes and sincerely thanks the hard work of all the committees that make Brookside such a beautiful community!
  • Rob Weber is the new on-site assistant maintenance person.
  • The Board has adopted new policies for electric vehicle charging and exterior vents for kitchen range hoods.

July Brookside Updates

July 9, 2024 by Nadine

At its meeting on June 20, 2024, the Brookside Board of Trustees voted to increase the 2025 monthly COA Reserve Contribution to an average of $551 per unit per month, in order to fund various capital projects in the near and distant future.

On Saturday, June 22, Brooksiders turned out in force to dedicate the Pool Pavilion to Mike O’Malley, to honor his long and devoted service to the community.

His energy and commitment never wavered, over many years. He was an amazing and valued Brooksider, and it was lovely to see how many appreciated that.

May Brookside Updates

May 15, 2024 by Nadine

Things have been busy at Brookside through the winter and early spring! One of the most fun and unique was the Arts Stroll on April 26 and 27, when artist Brooksiders opened their homes to show their work to their neighbors. Kudos to Jim Bowen, Susan Bunbury, Caroline and Greg Anderson, Andy Howard, Jeannine Lavoie and Rich Ferreira, and Paul and Mary Ellen Split for their exceptional work (and in the case of Mary Ellen, tasty tea and homemade scones)! And kudos to the 35+ Brooksiders who enjoyed strolling, seeing, kibbitzing, and nibbling!

During the winter, there were Monday nights at the Mashpee Cinema, prime rib nights at the VFW, bowling at Timber Lanes in Falmouth, tech talks in the Community Room, music bingo at the Bridgeview Grill, and of course, viewing the eclipse from the village green. Lots to do, nice people to do it with, and a great variety of activities. Even a poetry workshop with Jack DeWitt!
Mark your calendars for the annual pool opening party on June 8; Father’s Day coffee and donuts on June 16; pinballs and meatballs at the Arcade Alley and Bog Tavern on May 16.
And take yourselves out to the ballgame, and cheer on last year’s Cape Cod Baseball League champions, the Bourne Braves, June 15, 6:00 PM, Cape Cod Tech Field!
Don’t miss a walk in our Four Ponds Conservation Area, 280 acres of ponds, wetlands, and pine forests. Trails for every level of skill/interest. For the more experienced hiker, Pine Trail and the Town Forest trail are off Barlows Landing Rd. You don’t need to travel far to experience the joy of a different, beautiful, natural environment!
