Condo V- November 2025
Your Money and Board at Work HAVE A GREAT WINTER
For this new Fiscal Year upon us, ending September 30th, 2026, the Board is upping the ante and introducing transparency in areas of expenditures, projected and present projects, procedural changes, and issues that affect Condo V owners and residents.
Your Board has always been available to assist residents and owners with both condo and community issues that affect them, their neighbors, and the community. Submitted work orders are reviewed by a board member, and a follow-up status report via call-back or email is done as soon as the requests are cleared.
Remember, if a work order is not submitted, we cannot address any issues. For example: a resident has an issue at the guard house, document the time and date, and if it involves a vehicle. If possible, get the make, model, and license plate. Due to the cameras around the community, a video recording is worth a thousand words. If you have a problem with your condo or grounds, take a picture. The Maintenance Department’s online work orders allow attachments.
Also of note, there have been changes to the board officer positions. Shirley D’Agostino is no longer board president. Former Vice President James Garrahan is now president, and board member Teri Intini is now vice president. We would like to thank Shirley for her time and contributions during her time as president.
Attention Snowbirds:
Be sure to leave a key with someone and let your board or the front desk know with whom, (in case of an emergency requiring us to get inside). Leave a phone number where you can be reached.
Turn off the circuit breaker to the water heater, turn off the water to the toilet commodes, and add a 1/4 cup of bleach to the remaining water in the toilet. Set your thermostat to 55 degrees. Be sure all patio furniture is secure so it can’t be blown around. Leave the gate open and remove any door mats to allow for snow removal to your door. If you have one, be sure the hose bib valve inside your home is shut off and your outside hose valve is left open to prevent a pipe freeze. Remember to remove all outside hose attachments. Unplug all electric connections (cable, appliances, etc.) If leaving a car here, please park in Condo V long-term parking areas on Woodland and Birchwood Roads
Present Projects:
Woodland Basement Renovation
The 368 Woodland Ct. basement had several water breaks over the past few years. The Board is presently reviewing estimates to remove the ceiling, put new insulation between the rafters,
The cracks in the basement wall will be sealed, and the walls will be cleaned and painted. Four basement windows and their outside wells will be replaced.
Two new dehumidifiers will be installed to maintain a low humidity level.
Electric Panel Boxes Project Continues
Two electrical panels have been ordered. Over the last several years, the Board has been replacing the old electric panels. The electrician triaged each panel box, and two new boxes were budgeted for each fiscal year. After this year’s installation, we have four more to install.
Drainage Issues
During the next few weeks, the Board will hire a contractor to clean out all 76 lateral roof drains within the community.
The contractor will inspect each drain with a camera to check for clogs.
The drains will undergo a jetting process using proper nozzles in the drainpipes.
The drains will then be cleaned with a high-pressure stream, removing clogs that have been built up over the years.
Storm Runoff/Erosion Issues
The Board is experimenting with a new landscaping idea to prevent storm runoff and erosion in some slope areas. Instead of wood timbers, blocks, or rocks, we are trying biodegradable shredded coconut logs seeded with wildflowers for erosion control. The wildflowers hold the soil down to help prevent water from washing down the area.
Projects Completed Last 60 Days:
Buildings, walkways, stairwells, and retaining walls were power-washed.
Gutters and leaders cleaned.
Drainage pool installed in the common area near 330 Woodland Ct., installed to prevent flooding in the area. A new lateral drainpipe from the corner roof leaders will be installed to connect to the pool.
Parking lots were restriped.
