September 2025 Annual Meeting & Elections
Our Annual Meeting and Elections were held on September 25th. We had a small turnout of homeowners, and we appreciate those who took the time to attend. At the meeting, we presented the budget, reviewed our finances, recapped the projects completed, and discussed our plans for the new fiscal year.
We had three Board members up for re-election. There was no quorum, so we could not hold an election. The Board remains unchanged.

Smoke Alarm Inspections
The smoke alarm inspections are currently underway. Just a reminder, not only is this required by the Town of Brookhaven, but it is also a very important safety precaution, so please allow the necessary access to your unit. It only takes a couple of minutes to complete.
Landscaping & Snow Removal
We renewed our landscaping & snow removal contract with Olsen Brothers Landscaping. They are in the process of the Fall clean-up, and it will be completed by mid-December.
Tick & Mosquito Spraying
We did our last spraying for the year in October. It will begin again in March 2026.
Outside Hose Bibs
If your unit has the valve that controls the outside spigot, the time has come to turn it off. Please follow this procedure to avoid frozen pipes.
1. Disconnect any garden hoses that are attached to the outside spigot.
2. TURN ON the outside spigot so the water is flowing.
3. TURN OFF the water inside your unit.
4. Leave the outside spigot open so any residual water in the pipe can drain out.
