New Board Elected; Committees Assigned, Nov. 8, 2025. Minutes

President Newton called the meeting to order at 11:43 a.m. Directors Ernie Clarke, John
Bailey, Rebecca Newton, Jim Buie, Craig Barker, Cheri DeRosia, and Maria Tanner
were in attendance, and therefore a quorum was present. Millhouse Properties (MHP)
representatives Michelle Johnson was also in attendance. Director Dan Thomas was
not in attendance.
The Board welcomed the newly elected Directors, Ernie Clarke, Maria Tanner, Jim Buie,
Craig Barker, Cheri DeRosia, and Dan Thomas, who were voted in at the Annual
General Meeting which had just concluded. There were no nominations from the floor.
Seventy-five (75) out of 104 households cast their votes by either proxy or ballot. Since
these numbers exceeded those required for an AGM quorum, the election was valid. In
this post AG meeting, with a quorum met, the following positions were voted in:
Rebecca Newton as the new President and Chair of the Insurance Committee, Craig
Barker as Treasurer, Maria Tanner as Secretary, Cheri DeRosia as Chair of the
Architectural Committee, Ernie Clarke as Chair of Building and Street Maintenance,
John Bailey as Chair of Landscape, Jim Buie as Chair of Communications, and Dan
Thomas as Chair of Utilities.
Director DeRosia moved to adjourn the meeting, seconded by President Newton. Since
the motion passed unanimously, the meeting was adjourned.
The next Board meeting will be at 2:00 pm in the Gathering Place on January 22, 2026.

Respectfully submitted,

Maria Tanner
Secretary

FALL PRUNING

Fall pruning of Weathersfield common areas will begin this coming Friday, October 10. Pruning of individual residences will begin on Friday, October 17. If you wish to assume responsibility for having your property pruned, please email me by October 10 and I will provide you with red tape to tie around your porch post. In addition I will provide the workers doing the pruning with a list of residences not to be pruned. Workers will not do any pruning on properties that are marked with tape around the porch post. Please do not mark individual plants. If you have any questions feel free to email me.
John Bailey, Weathersfield Landscape Chair

SPRING PRUNING SCHEDULED FOR MAY 12 – 16

Marking tape will be placed on benches in each Close on Thursday, May 8. If you wish to opt out of pruning, tie a piece of tape around a post on your porch. This will signal that no pruning should take place anywhere on your property (the landscaped areas in front of and along the side of your home).

This variation of the tape system has been adopted by Countryhouse and has worked well.

John Bailey, Landscape Director

WEED SPRAYING CANCELED

The previously scheduled weed spraying has been canceled. Our landscapers believe that the mulch that was placed several weeks ago has proved sufficient to suppress weeds. Ruppert will, however, continue to monitor the situation and any weed growth will be addressed.

In the meantime,  please remove all red tape as soon as possible.

John Bailey, Landscape Director

WEED SPRAYING DELAYED

Spraying did not take place today (Wednesday April 9) due to weather conditions earlier this week. Ruppert will notify me when spraying takes place—hopefully by the end of this week. Another notice will be posted as soon as it is completed.  Although I am assured this spray poses no harm to animals, I recommend keeping pets off mulched areas for 48 hours after spraying.

I have conferred directly with the member of the Ruppert crew who will do the spraying. He showed me the no-spray list on his phone and told me he does not need the tape. He has confidence that he can work from the list. Therefore, you may remove the tape at any time. You may leave any unused rolls of tape on a bench in your close and I will pick it up early next week.
