Lee recommended that our new agenda include the revisions of our By-Laws. They have not been updated since 2000 and the New Board Members will be working diligently on this project.
Hours of construction for any unit owner or their construction contractor should be limited to Monday through Saturday 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM. It is believed that this is also a Ventnor ordinance but we will be checking to verify.
The Board is looking into new guidelines for guests at the pool. In addition the Board is looking into changing the hours of the pool.
The Board reviewed the budget. Items to be looked into are insurance, communications, gas, HVAC, employee benefits, payroll, and overtime.
The Board is happy to announce that there is a website for Waterview Condominium Association. The website is www.waterviewnj.com This website is very extensive. Owners will be able to access all meeting minutes, announcements, forms, contact the Board or office employees. The website has just been launched and will be expanding as time goes by. Boris was the key factor of this and we thank him for his time and effort into creating this website at no cost to the Association.
The Board would like to “Go Green”. To help save costs of office supplies, man hours, etc., we will be posting all meeting minutes on this website.
We are asking all unit owners to take advantage of the website to view the minutes and keep abreast of all announcements. However, if you would like to continue to receive a hard copy of minutes and announcements, please come to the office and sign a request and we will then continue to deliver a copy to you.
Members of the Board contacted the Ventnor City Police about vandalism and miscellaneous hit-and-run car accidents and it was revealed that there have been more than 12 incidents reported from Waterview Condo residents within the last 4 months.
This issue sparked conversation of a camera system being installed. The Board is looking into this.
The meeting was adjourned 4:30 PM. Matt 1st – Sheri 2nd.

Board Meeting Tuesday, June 25, 2013 at 2:30 PM
Present: Board Members – Sheri D’Ottavio, Allen Kressman, Karol Kulakowski, Matt (Mehmet) Lengeranli, Tom Sullivan, and Boris Todorov, Nick DeCarlo, Superintendent and Kathy Kosher, Management Office.
Tom advised that this Board will follow the By-Laws written in the Master Deed. All Board Members were unanimous in agreement with this decision.
Tom thanked Sheri, Matt and Boris for volunteering their time in doing needed repairs at the pool area.
Lee Antonelli has submitted her written letter of resignation as of June 25, 2013. Allen Kressman has been accepted as a replacement Trustee.
There are a number of problems at the pool. Board Members are aware of these problems and are working diligently to resolve all issues. Some of the issues we are addressing include:
Nick will make sure the Pool Company including their lifeguards is brought up-to-date on all of our Rules and Regulations and making sure they will enforce them. Waterview employees will be randomly checking the pool to make sure everyone is signing in (including guests), have current ID photo badges and obeying all Rules and Regulations. The Board has given the Waterview employees the right to make sure all of these items are in place and anyone not following procedures can be asked to leave. The sign-in sheet will include all guests’ names and who brought them in. There have been a couple of incidents at the pool. The Board is aware of them. The Pool Company has documented these incidents and the Management Office will now also be documenting them in our files. Any incidents that are reported will result in an initial warning letter and any further incidents will result in fines and/or possible suspension of privileges. Pool Rules will be posted. The pool hours will be the same for the remainder of the season. We will consider changing times for the next pool season.

Due to problems at the pool the amount of guests per unit will be limited to two (2). If you would like to have an additional guest, this guest pass can be purchased at the Management Office for $50.00. In addition, at this time, all pool parties are suspended. The Board Members approved this with a 5 to 1 vote. The Board Members would like to apologize for the quality of the pool water. The Board is addressing this issue with the Pool Company directly. The Pool Company will be keeping a log, which will be posted, of the testing of water quality. Due to the problems, the Pool Company will be testing more frequently. Nick will be supervising the Pool Company and reporting to the Board on this situation. Surveillance cameras are now in place in the pool area. Many thanks to Karol, Boris and Nick for volunteering their time in the installation and setup of these cameras.
The Board has requested that Nick get proposals for painting and repairing the mansards. The mansards are in bad shape and must be addressed.
The Board has approved 3 more electrical meter bank replacements. This will be done in the coming months.
Meeting was adjourned. Sheri 1st – Tom 2nd.

Board Meeting
Tuesday, July 2, 2013 at 8:00 PM
Present: Sheri D’Ottavio, Karol Kulakowski, Matt (Mehmet) Lengeranli, Tom
Sullivan, Boris Todorov, and Nick DeCarlo, Superintendent.
Due to the water quality in the pool, we invited Sparkling Pools, our Pool Company that
has serviced our pool for the last couple of years, to attend our meeting to address this
issue. Shaun Carmona and Peter (Pool and Equipment Tech) of Sparkling Pools advised
that after careful inspection, and to keep the pool open, especially during this holiday
weekend, the most cost-effective method was to replace the filter sand and clean the
internal components of the tank filters. It is the opinion of Sparkling Pools that this
should solve the problem without closing the pool. The Board is looking into the
possibility of a credit for the loss of use of the pool during this water quality issue.
We have renegotiated our contract for HVAC which will save us 20% on service calls
and 10% on all other services. The Board has voted to approve and the contract is
being prepared for signatures. The new contract will be in effect until May 1, 2016.
We are still looking into other avenues for saving on our communications costs. The
Board has already eliminated 3 cell phones and has agreed to reimburse Nick for the
use of his personal cell phone for business purposes. This will save us approximately
$1,800 per year. No services will be affected by this change.
We are also looking into how to save on our Trash Contract. We will be addressing this
issue after Labor Day. Any ideas will be welcomed.
There were a lot of ideas regarding landscaping around our Waterview Condo signs at
the corner of Marshall and Dorset and the corner of Marshall and Surrey. This is still an
open issue which will be addressed again in the fall due to the fact that the weather is
not conducive to planting in the hot summer months.
Our attorney is negotiating a settlement for the outstanding balance on one of our units
which has been delinquent for quite some time. We are hoping for a favorable
outcome.

Board Meeting 16.July.2013
WATERVIEW CONDOMINIUM ASSOCIATION
Board Meeting
Tuesday, July 16, 2013 at 7:00 PM
Present: Board Members – Sheri D’Ottavio, Allen Kressman, Karol Kulakowski, Matt
(Mehmet) Lengeranli, and Tom Sullivan, Nick DeCarlo, Superintendent and Kathy
Kosher, Management Office.
Old Business:
• Electrical Meter Banks – Three were completed in 2012. Another 3 were
completed by June 2013. And 3 more have been ordered. As soon as
they are received, installation will begin. Additionally, the Board would
like to complete at least 3 more before the end of the year.
• Summer Rules – The Board felt that the rules in place at the beginning
of the Pool Season needed to be changed because of the problems,
complaints and domestic disturbances that were occurring. People were
complaining the lifeguard was not checking the books to monitor access
to the pool. The Board realizes the lifeguard’s primary responsibility is
watching and insuring the safety of everyone in the Pool. In addition, no
volunteers were present to be pool checkers. Therefore, we reprinted all
residents’ badges. The supplies for this reprinting were already on hand
and did not incur any expenses.
Pool Badges must be presented upon entering the pool area.
All residents including children must have a 2013 Pool Badge with them to obtain access.
• There were additional complaints and comments on the Pool in which the
Board will be addressing with the Pool Company directly, i.e., the lifeguard
swimming with the kids, the lifeguard not knowing the pool rules, and
checking the water quality. Suggestions for the pool were made to have
a Pool Committee, taking the badges when entering the pool area and
asking for volunteers. The Board thought the Pool Committee was a
good idea and asked all interested to sign up with Sheri at the end of the
meeting. Only one volunteer signed up.
• Roofs – there is a problem on a section of Burk Court where water is
standing. The roofer has been called back to correct this problem which
is under warranty.
• Doors – The Board would like to complete the front door project by the
end of this year. The Board members and Nick will be walking the
property to assess all areas for a schedule of work needed and a time
frame to be established (weather permitting). Though this is an important
project, the Board received several complaints about the power washing
of the brick and the Board will be putting this project first and foremost.
• Mansards – We are currently taking bids for this project and reviewing the
budget for funding of this project.
New Business:
• Pool Rules will be addressed again the next time the Board meets.
We are still receiving numerous complaints about the pool. Several
suggestions were made, i.e., an adult swim hour, Pool Committee, taking
badges at arrival to pool area, a pool checker may be needed, etc.
• Cameras have been installed around the pool area. These cameras will
remain operational after the pool season to insure the assets we have
in our gated pool area. The Board hopes to be able to install additional
cameras around the office and shop areas.
• Pool Water Quality – This continues to be an issue and Nick is following
up with the Pool Company for a resolution to this problem.
• HVAC contract has been renegotiated and will save us 20% on service
calls and 10% on all other services.
• The cell phone contract has been discontinued and should result in a
savings of $1800 per year. In addition, the Board is looking into changing
our office phones which would result in a
savings of approximately $2,000 per year.
• Trash Removal – After Labor Day the trash pickup may be reduced to only
twice a week for the off-season. This will help us get closer to a breakeven point with the amount the city reimburses us for trash removal. It
was suggested from residents that we set up a time when bulk trash can
be set out for pick up. Bulk trash is currently picked up on Wednesday
morning. The Board will address this issue at the next meeting. In the
meantime, we are asking residents to not put their bulk trash out until
Tuesday. Another suggestion was to put recycling containers in the Pool
Area. Nick will make this happen. The dumpster on Marshall Avenue
continues to be a problem with Dream Bay using our container. We will
be addressing this at the next Board Meeting. We will also be looking into
filing Theft of Services through Ventnor City Hall. If you see anyone other
than Waterview residents using our trash sites, please take information
(where the person lives, time and date, and photos are helpful) to the
office to file a written complaint.
• Exterminator – We are in the process of getting bids for a new
exterminator. We have had complaints about service and reoccurrence of
pests.
• Power Washing – Previously the siding had been power washed only in
problem areas. Since then, it has been brought to our attention that
other areas (brick, sidewalk, steps, inside coves, etc.) need addressing.
The Board will now instruct maintenance to go back to the troubled areas
and continue the Power Washing Project.
• The Board has requested that Nick provide them with a list of 5 top
priorities that need to be addressed for preventative maintenance.
• Air Conditioning Structures – The Board has instructed our HVAC
contractor that when a new AC unit is installed on the roof that a new
structure mount will be implemented. This will prevent AC units from
tipping over, not allowing satellite dishes from being mounted on the
AC platform and preventing roof damage. Examples were shown at the
meeting. Everyone seemed to agree with this.
• Tom thanked Boris, Sheri and Matt for their help in doing opening repairs
to the Pool area.
• Pool Water Quality – The Board met with the Pool Company to address
this issue. The Pool Company recommended replacing the filter sand.
The Board approved this step recommended by the Pool Company in
order to prevent a bigger cost. Hopefully this will take care of the issue.
• Another emergency expense was the underground electric cable from
5812 Burk Avenue to 807 Dudley Court that needed to be replaced. This
was due to age of old cable wires.
• We have recently experienced sewer problems on Marshall Avenue. Nick
explained what is being done.
Questions and Suggestions
Question – Can we implement a procedure for bulk trash where the residents
must come into Office and fill out a form to inform that bulk trash will be put out for
collection? Tom said we would look into this.
Question – Isn’t it required that all units have window coverings (and not sheets)
and don’t they have to be white? Answer – Window coverings must be installed and
maintained by each unit.
Question / Suggestion – Can we do something about the dog droppings? A
resident suggested maybe we could relocate dog bag pick up stations off the street and
place them inside the property. Also, anyone witnessing someone not picking up after
their animal can come to the office and file a complaint.
Question – Is car washing allowed? Answer – No maintenance or washing of any
vehicle is permitted.
At the end of the question period Tom reviewed the budget. A resident asked if
everyone had paid the 2013 assessment. All residents have paid their assessment or
are on a payment plan and their payments are current. There was a question as to
what the amounts of the water bills were under the new metering system. The new
bills have been received for 6 of the 8 meters with the new metering system. The other
2 meters still have not been replaced by the City and we are still only receiving a flat
Tom ended the meeting with an added request for anyone to sign up for the Pool
Committee. Anyone still interested in volunteering can contact the office.

Old Business:
Pool –
Representatives of Sparkling Pools, Kim and Peter, met with the Board to discuss
the problems we are still having with water quality and a credit due to the 4 days
of closing. Kim will be getting back to us regarding an increase in the credit and
looking into making sure the water quality stays consistent. The Board is
satisfied with the overall performance of the Lifeguards.
Pool Bathroom Rehab –
The majority of the Pool Bathrooms rehab project is now complete. H& R
Construction was responsible for the flooring and doors. Nick and Charlie did the
rest of the rehab. The total cost was $8200 which includes a $500 outstanding
invoice. The newly installed Ladies Room door is not completed. The door is
loose to the frame. H&R is unable to make the necessary repair due to some
overwhelming circumstances. Although these circumstances are beyond H&R’s
control, the board instructed Nick to withhold payment and make the necessary
repair. A few minor details remain which will be completed.
Bulk Trash, Window Coverings and Dog Walking Rules –
These items will be discussed further after Labor Day.
Contractor Bids –
1. Mansards – We received bids from many contractors. The Board was not
satisfied with the scope of the work which was not the same for each
submission. It was decided that Nick would prepare a scope of work for
this project and contractors would be required to resubmit their bids.
2. Exterminator – We received 3 bids for extermination. Best Eastern is now
our new exterminator. The contract is for one year.
New Business:
Communications –
The Board has agreed to convert the telephones to Ooma. Boris and Nick will be

Present: Board Members – Allen Kressman, Karol Kulakowski, Matt Lengeranli, Tom
Sullivan and Boris Todorov, and Nick DeCarlo, Superintendent and Kathy Kosher,
Management Office.
Tom opened the meeting and indicated that we would be following the agenda. If
there are questions on a topic of the agenda, they may be presented when that subject
is being discussed. Questions not on the Agenda may be presented at the end of the
Agenda items.
OLD BUSINESS:
Mansards – We will be looking into the mansards project again in the Spring of
2014. At the current time, we have received estimates of $55,000 to $90,000.
Electrical Meter Banks – 10 electrical meter banks still need to be completed. We
are in the process of obtaining bids and it appears it will be approximately
$50,000 to complete the project. We will begin this project again in the Spring.
Maryann Tully stated that this is a very important project and that the meter
banks should be replaced before any problems happen.
Trash Removal – During the winter months we have reduced the times of the
weekly trash collections to 2 times. This will result in a savings of $800 per
month / $4,800 for the 6 months.
Power Washing – This is an ongoing project and part of the regular
maintenance.
General Maintenance – Nick explained the overage in the budget for
Maintenance Common Area. This was due to an electrical line underground
having to be replaced and major sewer problems on Marshall Avenue. Dan
Giordano requested that the Board look into if the electrical lines replaced were
our or the electric company’s responsibility.
NEW BUSINESS:
Budget – The 2013 year-to-date was reviewed. Tom advised of the savings that
had been made in Trash Removal as indicated above and also a 5% savings in
landscaping contract with a renewal of our contract for 2014 to 2016. These
savings are in addition to the savings on HVAC and Communications which have
already been implemented. It was announced that the 2014 Budget had been
approved and had no assessment or increase in the condo fees is planned.
Concrete – Nick announced we had received bids for the concrete work on some
sidewalk squares in various areas and a dumpster pad which need to be
replaced. After reviewing the bids, Ocean Concrete has been selected to
complete this work.
Landscaping / Snow Removal – Tom noted that as was mentioned in the Budget
discussion that a landscaping contract had been renewed for 2 years. Along with
this the landscaper agreed to hold the price on snow removal. We are asking
that anyone who would like to volunteer for the “Snow Committee” to sign up
with the office. Volunteers would help with snow removal. George Termini, Matt
Lengeranli, Boris Todorov and Karol Kulakowski have volunteered. Any other
members wishing to volunteer may sign up at the office.
Pool – We had problems with the pool’s water quality this year. We are looking
into ways on how to correct this. One of the ways would include sandblasting
and painting. A 2 year contract was signed in 2012 for the current pool
company. Therefore, we are still under contract for another year. Dan Giordano
suggested we put in a liner. Boris explained he was getting bids for different
ways to correct this problem and that a liner was one of the options. Another
option is spraying fiberglass.
OPEN DISCUSSION:
Dan Giordano indicated that we should be doing routine maintenance of the sewer lines
to avoid the expense of hiring outside contractors to clear the lines. Nick advised that
routine maintenance is being done on the lines but that our lines are getting older and
build-up is happening in all the lines. It was also mentioned that we should purchase
the same equipment as the contractor. However, Nick advised that would be cost
prohibitive.
Also, Dan Giordano questioned why the roofer had to fix the downspout and why our
maintenance staff didn’t handle that. Nick responded that the roofer is responsible for
any type of metal work on the property.
Mary Donato requested that Waterview Condo distribute procedures to be followed in
case of evacuation. She requested them last year but to date has had no response.
Nick said he would check into this and see what can be done. (After the meeting Nick
obtained the website for this information. Anyone interested should go to
www.readyatlantic.org. You may want to print out the “Preparation List” and keep it
handy.)
Al Bigler advised that there is a continuing problem with children playing ball in the
courtyard behind his unit. He was advised that some of the children that could be
identified were given verbal and written warnings. We will now start to fine these units.
Edie Agunzo said there has been continuing problems with dogs off the leash and
owners not picking up after their dogs. Nick advised he had spoken with the owner but
the owner denied the charges. Therefore, Nick advised to go forward we would need
to set up a time for both owners to state their cases under the arbitration process. Edie
was advised if she wished to do this she should come to the office and fill out the
necessary paperwork. Nick also advised the more people that come forward and file
complaints against this person the more evidence there would be in arbitration.
Gina Benvenuto advised she had 2 items. One she felt the prior Board Minutes were
not complete. She felt an item she brought up at the prior meeting regarding her steps
had not been included in the minutes. She advised her steps had been repaired as
requested. The other item was that a lot of units are not keeping up with the
appearance on the areas around their units. Some units had let gardens go to weeds
and a lot of items were just being left around.
Several of the other Association Members agreed with her and that there were a lot of
items that needed to be addressed. Tom asked for suggestions. Gina suggested a
“Beautification Committee”. This committee would get together and patrol the property
for items that should be looked into. They would compile a list and bring it to the
office. Linda Termini, George Termini, Edie Agunzo, Steve Chase and Gina Benvenuto
have volunteered. If you would be interested in volunteering, please contact the office.
Dan Giordano asked why the fence was removed and bushes planted where the fence
was located in front of the office. Tom responded that a child was pinned under the
fence and the bushes were planted to replace the boundary of the fence to deter foot
traffic on the lawns.
Maryann Tully wanted to add that Charlie DiSanti of our maintenance staff should be
commended for his hard work. Others agreed with this.
A motion was made to adjourn the meeting at 8:30. 1st

Board Meeting
Present: Board Members – Tom Sullivan, Karol Kulakowski, Boris Todorov, Sheri
D’Ottavio, Allen Kressman, Matt Lengeranli, and Irv Yeagle, and Nick DeCarlo,
Superintendent.
Tom opened the meeting at 6:00 PM.
• Homeowners’ Beautification Committee – Duties and responsibilities of this
committee were discussed. Boris has been designated as the representative
between the committee and the Board and to direct the committee with Board
approved protocol.
• Electrical Meter Banks – A discussion followed with concerns of whether or
not to proceed during the winter months or hold until Spring. The Board would
really like to continue this project even during the Winter. Therefore, we are
requesting bids where the work can be done without the electricity off all day.
• Maintenance Report – Nick reported on the work that has been done on
the goosenecks, power washing, painting of the pool doors, tree pruning,
and the gator. Nick advised the bed liner of the gator is in need of repair or
replacement.
• Snow Removal – A suggestion was made that snow removal should begin
sooner than waiting until the end of the storm so that residents could have an
easier ability to enter or exit the complex. Nick advised the snow blowers were
ready to go, the plow on the gator still needs attention and the front decks are
questionable on whether or not we are responsible for the snow removal of the
front decks.
• Pool – A proposal from Sparkling Pools was discussed for basic resurfacing and
for premium resurfacing. This is needed to address the water quality of the pool
and to prevent problems like we had this past season. The Board requested Nick
to look into other bids for this scope of work.
