A Resident Alert call is a message from the community manager to alert the residents of situation concerning the community.

Some residents have asked if the caller ID could show the Resident Alert call coming in from the property name or management company name. A third party service provider provides this service with a standard number that is used for all community resident alert calls. Unfortunately we can’t get a separate or individual site-specific number for Caller ID purposes.

However, the number making the Resident Alert call will always be the same.

Please take note of this phone number: 877-801-0596. This is the phone number that you will receive our Resident Alerts from.

Please add it to your contact list in your phone or address books. You can name the contact as: Resident Alert or Cedar Village Alert or FirstService Resident Alert. This will help you identify a Resident Alert call coming in from a telemarketer call, preventing you from missing the Resident Alert Call.

In addition if you miss the resident alert call, you can call back the number that the resident alert came in on (has to be the phone that got the message) and the most recent resident alert will play back for you. If you answer the call and after listening you want to hear it again, it will automatically repeat or when finished you can press 1 and hear it again.

If the box cover is tilted, or the wires are sticking out, call Verizon and Comcast, it is their responsibility to repair and maintain their equipment. Check your utility bills for the phone number to contact these companies. These boxes are not common property and are not and it is not the responsibility of the Association to make these service calls, maintain or repair the Verizon and Comcast boxes.

ALTERATIONS AND MODIFICATIONS TO THE OUTSIDE OF YOUR HOME REQUIRES APPROVAL - ARC Requests:Any alterations you wish to make to the outside

of your home must first be approved by the ARC committee and the board of trustees. There are no exceptions. An ARC form can be picked up in the clubhouse lobby. Once it is filled out by the homeowner, it needs to be returned to the management office for approval by the ARC Committee. Please allow up to 4 weeks for approval. Once approval is made the homeowner will be notified in writing. Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation

Maintaining Your Property:

IRRIGATION: The Irrigation system is tested before it is turned on at the end of April each year and heads are adjusted and repaired at this time.

The Irrigation system runs throughout the development. Well water is used and the watering is controlled by the Association Wells. The amount of well water that we are allowed to use for irrigations is allocated to the Association by the DEP. We cannot use more water than we are allocated.

If you feel your lawn needs more water than what we have been allocated by the DEP for irrigation purposes, you may water your lawns by hose and are encouraged to do so. The DEP monitors and regulates the amount of well water we are allocated for irrigation and cannot be increased.

If you need to have a sprinkler head moved, the cost for this item is paid for by the Homeowner. Fill out the work order form, drop it off at the Management office and the Irrigation contractor will contact you for an evaluation and an estimate.

You may not engage an outside contractor to make any alterations to the irrigation system on your property or any common property. You may not make alterations yourself. No exceptions.

If a sprinkler head that is on your property is not working properly or not working at all. Please fill out a work order form and put it in the bin on the table in the Clubhouse. We will arrange for a repair with the Irrigation company. If the homeowner has caused the sprinkler head to work improperly, such as planting a

JUNE 2019


shrub or tree that blocks the head, the cost to relocate the head will be that of the homeowner.

Irrigation Work Orders – are accepted when the system has been turned on for the season. If a sprinkler head is not working properly, please place a work order by calling Customer Service at 800-870-0010 . They will submit a written work order for you. For a sprinkler head to be moved your work order should include a request for an appointment with the contractor for an evaluation and an cost estimate. The cost to move a sprinkler head is at the homeowner’s expense. Doing construction on the exterior lawn area such as power seeding or tree removal – you must request the sprinkler heads to be flagged before you can do any work. As always, thank you for your cooperation

LAWNS: All lawns are mowed by a Commercial Landscaping Contractor. Lawns are mowed on a 7-10 day basis, depending on weather conditions. Edging of the sidewalks and walkways are done periodically. DAMAGES must be REPORTED immediately in the same week as the damage occurred or the landscaper cannot be held responsible. To place a work order for damages please call Customer Service at 800-870-001.

Weed control is done on an as needed basis as depending on the prevailing conditions of the season. A commercial application of fertilizer on common areas and homeowner lots are on a proscribed schedule according to the contract. Lawn services are performed April through November. If you wish to add your own weed control or fertilizer applications in addition to the commercial applications provided by the Association, you are encouraged to do so.

COMMERCIAL LAWN APPLICATIONS: A friendly reminder, The Association provides commercial lawn applications as a courtesy and is not responsible to provide custom work on individual homeowner lots. The Association does not provide additional weed control or fertilizer applications other than the commercial applications applied per season. The homeowner is responsible to maintain your property to keep it in good condition.

The Association provides only one seeding application and aeration service in the fall of each year to private homeowner lots. Re-seeding is not provided by the Association and any addition seeding or aeration is

the responsibility of the homeowner.

All objects on your lawn should be removed that you don’t want damaged, including wires to your air conditioner that may be lying along your house or items placed alongside the driveways or walkways. This includes all decorative items, flower pots and landscape lighting such as solar lights and low voltage lights. The best way to prevent damage is to put a border around your home. Restrictions on width apply. Consult the Association’s ARC Guidelines and file a ARC application before making any changes. Board approval is required before you can proceed with changes to the exterior of your home. Guidelines and Applications are located in the Clubhouse lobby Literature Rack.

As a homeowner, you are responsible for what is on your property and you are responsible to move items that could be damaged where the lawn mowers, weed whackers or snow clearing equipment will or can take place. It is your responsibility to prevent the damage of your personal items on your property.

TREES: Any tree on your homeowner lot is yours to maintain as required by the Association.

MULCH AROUND TREES: Although you own all trees on your property lot, the Association will apply mulch up to 3 tree rings maximum, that are located in the front of your house as a courtesy, so the community has a consistent well kept look, not because they are the Association’s trees. The association does not provide mulch on any other location on your property lot. You are responsible for all your flower beds including weeding, planting and pruning and watering.

COMMON AREAS, WETLANDS AND TREES: All common area wetlands are maintained by the association and governed by the DEP. No one is allowed to remove or plant any trees, shrubs or brush within any common areas/ protected wetlands. Trees that are alive cannot be removed as per the DEP.

Your personal property/belongings are not allowed to be placed in the Common Areas. Nothing should be nailed or screwed into or hung on or from any common area trees including bird feeders. Affixing items to the tree damages the tree and may cause them to die or become diseased, which will result in an added expense to you or the Association.

FOR YOUR INFORMATIONBy George Fencik

A monthly column devoted to a topic or topics of interest for all homeowners. In reviewing this column over past years, May is traditionally “humor-time” with some interesting items that are not associated with our community, but will put a smile on your face. I’ve gathered my e-mail folder containing many interesting items that have been sent to me and found a few that I know everyone will enjoy.

BOARD RESPONSIBILITY OVERVIEWThere are traditional general misconceptions regarding the Boards authority and responsibilities.

As a clarification, the Boardrepresents the common interests of the Association in accordance with the operating documents (Restrictions and Covenants) with authority as provided in the Association By-Laws (Revised January 18, 2010). The Board does not have any legal authority to represent homeowners regarding individual property and/or homes. The Board also does not have the authority to hear and/or mediate any “homeowner versus homeowner” issues. This specific function is provided by the Alternate Dispute Resolution Article XIX of our By-Laws.

The Board is responsible for the “common elements” of the Association, such as the clubhouse, pool, common property, amenities and all respective services provided for the community.

When we speak as “The Board”, it simply means that the members of the Board are in agreement as to the context of a statement or decision rendered. It is important to understand that while an individual Board member many not personally agree regarding a specific

issue, Board members are legally bound to respect and abide by a majority vote of any decision to uphold the Restrictions and Covenants (Operating Documents) and the Association By-Laws.

The Board decision making process is not always an easy or quick one. It is based on the assimilation of facts and research before any reasonable conclusion is rendered. The Board must also take in consideration applicable Restrictions and Covenants (Operating Documents), Association By-Laws, Brick Township Ordinances, and State/Federal ordinances with absolutely no favoritism or incrimination toward anyone. Fairness must apply to all in the community universally.

ETHICS AND CONFIDIENTIALLYWe have all been witness regarding the unethical and questionable practices of Condominiums and Homeowner Association Boards. After reviewing the facts in each case, it is conceivable that without proper “checks and balances” in place and adhered to, these questionable practices do occur. In 2001, the Board announced that a standard of “conduct and ethics” would be implemented that would be applicable immediately and for all future Board members. The

SELECTION OF OFFICERSOnce the April elections are concluded, the next step is the formal organization of the Board for the next twelve (12) month period. At the May 15th Board Workshop meeting, the slate of officers was presented, reviewed and agreed to the positions that will be held by each member for the coming year. 2019-2020 BOARD ORGANIZATION AND LIAISON RESPONSIBILITIESGeorge Fencik President Brick Township, 1st Service Management, AttorneyArt Pantaleone Vice President Grounds contractors –landscape-snow-irrigationGeorge Fencik Treasurer* Financials- 1st Service Management, AuditorDiane Ewing Secretary ARC, ClubhousePat Maroney Director Pool ManagementTon Racaniello Director Social Activities*This is a temporary dual responsibility (Article VII – Section 7.01)The Board liaison member simply “interfaces” with their assigned responsibilities and provides a monthly report to the Board (workshop meetings) and then to all homeowners during the monthly Board meetings. This interactive system was originally enacted in 2001, as a means of utilizing the talents and responsibilities of each Board member, rather than having a duplication of everyone’s efforts.

Board directed the Association Attorney to draft an appropriate document.

In 2002, a Code of Ethics and Confidentially Agreement was instituted as the basis for acceptable conduct. Each Board member is required to sign this legal document that clearly defines both ethics and confidentiality. Not adhering to either can be considered as cause for removal from the Board, as directed in the Association By-Laws (4.01-page 6)

BOARD MEMBER “CASTING OF VOTES” PROCEDURE In 2006, the Board instituted a prescribed procedure for casting of and recording votes on any public motion for approval that needs to be documented in the monthly Board minutes. The subject motion is presented with a narrative explanation. The Board president may then ask if there are any comments, questions or further clarification of the motion from the attendees, before the vote is taken. The actual vote is then taken in a “roll call” manner by the community manager. Each Board member then responds with a “yes”-“no”-“abstain.”

One important note: the last person to cast a vote is the president and that is done for a specific reason. In the event of a tie, the president’s vote becomes the “tie breaker.”

In the history of our Association, the “tie breaker” vote has never been implemented.

The Board represents the interests of all homeowners in a fair and legal manner!

UPDATEOur operating documents are very clear and the Board has the authority and responsibility to enforce all regulations with no favoritism to anyone. Please understand that the members of the Board are also homeowners, who also share the same problems and/or situations you may have.

SUMMARYMy goal in presenting this Annual information is to illustrate the operating manner of our Association and the responsibilities of the Board. As a homeowner, you have every right to know and understand what is going on and the decisions that are reached by the Board for our Association. The Board invites you to attend and participate at the monthly public meetings that are usually held the around the third Monday at 7:00PM.

The meeting dates and/or changes are published in this Cedar Village Times every month.

Since 2002, Board meetings are conducted in an “open town hall” format. What this means is although we follow a specific Board Agenda, you are encouraged to participate at the appropriate time by presenting questions and/or provide comments regarding any issue that is presented regarding Association matters. Private property issues may not be presented at the monthly Board meetings and can be heard privately at the monthly Board workshop meetings that are held the Wednesday prior to the Monthly Board meeting. Simply notify the community manager with any issue and schedule an appointment.

One last important piece of information: Board members don’t have the luxury of “shooting from the hip” on any decision. A careful review of all pertinent facts are carefully evaluated and discussed. Some decisions may involve consultation with our Association Attorney to be sure we are in compliance with our Operating Documents, By-Laws, Local, State and Federal Statues. (NOTE: There have been State of New Jersey regulations passed recently that include meetings, voting procedures and pool regulations.) As a Board we have to comply with each change that is implemented. That is why a simple decision cannot be made quickly.

Each member of the Board has only one vote and a simple majority determines the result.

ANY BOARD DECISION AFFECTS EVERYONE – INCLUDING THE BOARD!

Talk to you next month!

We would like to thank all our friends and neighbors for the kind expressions of sympathy and prayers for my son / brother, Joseph Strazza.

They were all greatly appreciated. Sally Strazza and Debi Stone

HIGH-TECH ETIQUETTEBy Donna Cardillo, R.N.

Communication technology has made our lives a lot easier —and a lot more complicated at the same time. Although we can now reach virtually anyone in the world with relative ease 24 hours a day, we have also become a society of “communication junkies” who can’t be away from our e-mail or cell phones for even an hour without experiencing withdrawal. There is still, however, a right time, place, and method to use all this new equipment. Along with the technology comes a new set of rules, both written and unwritten, for decent behavior, as well as effective, appropriate communication.

Voice mail — Whether talking into a telephone answering machine, or voice mail system, your message should be brief and concise. Don’t ramble and take up precious time and disc space. Speak slowly and enunciate clearly so the listener can understand what you’re saying. Mention the date, time, and reason you’re calling. Always leave your full name and phone number, even if the other person already has your number. This saves that person the time of looking it up when returning your call. Recite the number slowly and clearly, including the area code. Then repeat it a second time so the other person doesn’t have to keep replaying your message to get the number. Be sure to mention when would be a good time to reach you to minimize telephone tag.

If you’re returning a call from someone you don’t know, state briefly what the call was about (if you know) to jog the other person’s memory. For example, you might say, “This is Carl Harris returning your phone call. You left me a message inquiring about guidelines for continuing education credits.”

Cell phones — While cell phones have become a boon to communication, they are, in many ways, the bane of our society. Of course the cell phone itself isn’t the problem: It’s the people who use them in inappropriate ways and places. One of the major annoyances is cell phone users speaking in a louder-than-normal voice. This is more than distracting and annoying; no one wants to be forced to hear personal and business conversations. Here are some simple rules to follow: Don’t have private or business conversations in public places within close proximity to other people. Turn your cell phone off or

set it to “vibrate” during seminars/classes and while in restaurants, libraries, or places of worship. Don’t take calls during meetings, including interviews.

As a speaker, I often can’t get through even a short presentation without a cell phone going off and playing an inane tune. When it happens, I have to stop speaking because everyone’s attention is drawn to it. And so many people have phones with similar ring tones that often the offender doesn’t even realize it’s her phone ringing. Turn it off, put it on vibrate, or leave it home. If for some reason you truly need to be accessible at all times, get text messaging so you can see whether it’s an emergency or something that can wait. Unless you’re an expectant father or a high-ranking government official, the world will not end if someone leaves you a message rather than speaking with you immediately. You’ve got to set limits.

E-mail — Electronic mail has become so commonplace that many people rely on it heavily for communication. And while e-mail is fast, convenient, and appropriate for certain types of communication, it’s not OK for others. E-mail does not replace many traditional forms of communication. For example, an interview thank-you note should still be sent via snail mail in most cases. You should never resign from a job, discuss a sensitive subject, or respond in an angry way through e-mail. And since you don’t have the benefit of nonverbal communication cues when using e-mail, choose your words carefully before hitting the “send” button.

Some e-mail rules have changed over the years. Remember when it first came out? People used an informal writing style without capital letters, punctuation, or salutations. Today, because it is a dominant form of communication, you should write a work-related e-mail as if you were writing a letter or memo. Originally, the rule was that you don’t copy the sender’s message when responding. However, with all the e-mail correspondence sent today, it’s impossible to recall what you said to whom. I’ve received e-mail responses from people who say simply, “Yes. That’s great,” and I have no idea what they’re responding to. I have to go into my “sent” file and search for my last e-mail to them, if I even saved it. It’s time-consuming and annoying.

Because of all the computer viruses circulating today, don’t send attachments unless it’s something important and to someone whom you’ve told to expect it. Otherwise, you run the risk of having your message deleted without being read. Be sure to use clear subject lines, too, so the receiver knows whether to read your e-mail immediately or whether to delete it or save it.

Faxes — When sending a facsimile, use a cover sheet that clearly indicates who the fax is to and from. Unless requested to do so, don’t send lengthy documents via fax. A fax of five pages or more ties up the receiver’s fax machine, has a tendency to jam at one end or the other, and uses up a lot of paper on the receiving end. If you have a multipage document to send, consider mailing it.

Technology can be a great tool when used appropriately, but you’ll likely lose credibility when it’s apparent you’re playing with a new toy and haven’t learned “the rules.” Rather, enhance your image, your effectiveness, and your workplace savvy by learning and using communication technology in a responsible and considerate way.
