New Condo Law for Vermont went into
effect on January 1, 2012
– The new condo laws went into effect New Year's Day
in the state of Vermont. Your Association has already
made many changes over the past 6 months to conform to the new
law. The
new law provides for greater disclosure to homeowners
regarding the activities of their Board, its
Committees and, in
turn, their management company. Compared to other
associations' by-laws our by-laws, even when they
were first written in 1987, provided for much of this
disclosure. The most visible change will be that all
Association members can attend board meetings. We have
provided a webcast platform for
members to attend by either telephone or webcast via
their computer. For
efficiency, an
abbreviated version of Roberts Rules of Order
will be need to be strictly enforced at all meetings. All homeowners
will be notified by email at least 10 days in prior to a Board
Meeting. Should a homeowner wish an item discussed
by the Board, they must
submit it in writing (email preferred) to the Association
Secretary seven days prior to the meeting in order for
it to be placed
on the agenda. You must include your full name and unit
number on all correspondence and any backup material you
feel necessary to submit. It would also be
prudent to contact a Board member to sponsor the item on
the agenda. On this website, go to the member's area
(password required) to view the meeting date, the agenda
and any supplemental information pertaining to that
meeting. For the complete new Vermont Condo Law, go to the
State Of Vermont
- Legal Resources Site. The section is 27A, Article 3. Most find it very difficult and confusing to
understand, so don't become discouraged as you review it.
Entrance Sign Project
– The Board has planned for a new entrance sign, one
that will not be so maintenance intensive as the present
sign. The New sign will be out of stone with pin
mounted extruded letters on the stone. You can
find a photo of what the sign will look like in the
capital projects area.
Wood Shed Replacement Project
– Instead of repairing the woodsheds, The Board has
planned for new wood sheds to be built which will
incorporate a bench to wait for the Base Lodge Bus.
The design will have the wood accessible from the side
facing the buildings as the present design has the wood
accessible from the parking lot side. The present
design encourages theft of fire wood, which has been
witnessed over the past few years. The design of
the wood shed can be found in the Capital Projects area
of this site.
Hallway Renovation Project
(Hallway repairs/upgrade) – We are underway in the
repair of any damage to the hallway walls. The
unit doors are also scheduled to be painted, and new
unit numbers to be installed. This project will be
worked on throughout the summer, and updates will be
posted on this page.
Condo Management
-- The Contract we have with TPW, our management
company is due for renewal in September of this year.
The Board is reviewing proposals for the renewal of the
TPW contract or a contract from one of the other
management companies.
