Subject:  Minutes of Board of Directors, August 23, 2001

A quorum of directors being present, the meeting was called to order at 7:02 p.m. at the First Church of Christ by President Troy Holloway. Directors present: T. Holloway, P. René, G. Litinski, J. Randazzo, and C. Scalzo. Jeff Green was present representing Bristol Management Services.

Motion by C. Scalzo to approve the minutes of June 28, 2001 as read, (the meeting for July was cancelled), second by J. Randazzo
Passed unanimously.

ACC REPORT: C. Godfrey, Chairperson, reported that a request for new vertical casement windows was approved. Also approved were step stones and a driveway extension.

The committee denied requests for window air conditioning units.

HOMEOWNER COMMENTS: Richard Thomas, a homeowner, expressed some concerns about his observations of the community. He presented the board with a letter expressing those concerns.

FINANCIAL REPORT: P. René reported that Association Finances were in order and that monies for plantings would be used shortly after water restrictions were eased. The Financial picture shows a surplus due to the lack of spending in the landscaping replacement line but would diminish when the restrictions are lifted.

SECRETARY REPORT: Secretary Randazzo had one letter of correspondence to report.

Management Report: The manager reviewed his report that is included with the meeting package for the month of August 23, 2001. He reported that the highest sale in the Hamptons has now reached $245,000. The current cinch bug problem was being addressed and the current grass fertilization is postponed until the rains are more abundant. The fountains continue to function properly. There was some discussion about a tree limb that is a hazard over the sidewalk.
The sidewalks and aprons continue to be matters of discussion. The response from the attorney retained for this matter left some questions to be considered by the Board.

The manager was in receipt of a letter advising the Board of the split of the current attorney firm and an election of which side of the split to choose.

J. Randazzo moved that all outstanding collections handled by Dicker and St John be sent to the office of Gary D. Fields. Second, P. René, Passed unanimously.

J. Randazzo moved that all legal matters be turned over to the firm of Gary D. Fields.
Second, P. René, Passed unanimously.

At this time the manager was asked to leave the meeting for discussion of a board matter.

After discussion with the board about letters to vendors and e-mails to the manager from Board Member G. Litinski, Mr. Litinski chose to leave the meeting at 9:44 pm.

J. Randazzo moved to let the record show, that the remaining board members of the Hamptons Homeowner Association, Troy Holloway, President; Joseph A. Randazzo, Secretary; Peter René, Treasurer; and Colleen Scalzo, Director; do not support or condone the ethnic references made by George Litinski by e-mail or letter regarding landscaping issues to Jeff Green of Bristol Management. We find these references to be reprehensible, degrading and unacceptable whether emanating from a board member or any other human being.
Second, T. Holloway. Passed Unanimously.

NEW BUSINESS: No New Business.

ADJOURNMENT: Motion by J. Randazzo to adjourn second by C. Scalzo. Meeting adjourned at 9:50pm.

Respectfully Submitted,
