PRESIDENT’S REPORT: 3 J U L Y BY STANLEY R. GREENBERG, CPA The Annual Budget & Finance meeting took place on Monday, June 22nd on the deck of Pool #2. At that time I was pleased to inform all shareholders that, for the upcom ing budget year commencing on July 1st, there will be no increase in the carrying charges. We had a normal turnout of at least seventy five people and, fortunately, the weather cooperated with us. We had a report from Carl Cesarano (Cesarano & Khan Accountants / Auditors) and I gave a report to the shareholders as to some of the projects that have been completed and some of the future projects that we are contemplating. FINANCIAL: The 11 months ending May 31, 2015 (budgeted versus actual) showed revenues of $15,176,980 (93.57%) of the budgeted amount of $16,219,684 and total expenses of $13,595,142 (87.88%) of the budgeted amount of $15,470,138 as reported by our accountants. POOL #1: We look forward to the opening of Pool #1 on June 27th which will add more pleasure to the recreational facilities for everyone. So far I have received many compliments on the way the pool is being run by Elite Pool Management. Everyone seems to be enjoying the beginning of summer as the pool has been in operation for the past few weeks. PLAYGROUND RESURFACING: We have replaced the surfacing of the play area by Pool #1 and by Pool # 2. The new surface seems to be a hit with everybody as it doesn’t get hot and is much more comfortable and user friendly. We are also in the process of resurfacing the playground by Pool #1. We L E H A V R E will be installing new fencing around it, removing some damaged spring riders, adding replacement / additional spring riders and doing some repair work to bring the large play area up to code. CEMENT UNDER THE BUILDINGS: We have recommenced the program, started last year, to replace the cement work under some buildings. We have consulted with an engineer in order to make sure that the work performed will stand up to the harsh winters and the high water table that is present in the buildings closer to the water. This year we have scheduled replacement of the cement under B#21, B#22, B#3 and B#4. LOBBY DOORS: We will be resuming the lobby door replacement program whereby N E W S eight (8) lobby doors will be replaced this year, working on the doors that are in the worst condition presently. Thank you as always and I appreciate your continued support.
