where are the annual meeting minutes ?

i have been receiving the annual meeting minutes for as long as i can remember i believe since this building became a co-op.
The annual meeting minutes were mailed to every shareholder
i have not received this year 2008 minutes, nor have my neighbors .
i spoke to one of my neighbors this month who due to work wasn't able to attend the meeting . He knew nothing about the hot budget error topic at the annual meeting. It was revealed a budget accounting error was made and a zero was dropped. This accounting error was about 8% of the yearly budget.
Many of the shareholders present at the meeting said they did not receive the yearly financial report. The financial report is also supposed to mailed to all shareholders well before the annual meeting.
After the meeting i got a copy from a neighbor, i haven't gone through all my paperwork yet to see if i received the original mailing, i haven't been very good this year at keeping up with filing my paperwork.
i don't throw co-op paperwork out though, next i will post the garage space rules.
I am amazed at how little information has been given to the new shareholders. .

Warburton Ave. Update

With summer nearly over and fall upon us City Hall has again picked up on a few of the many open items and issues along Warburton Ave. Below are some of the highlights:

First - after a flurry of emails and phone calls the City Council voted unanimously to move forward on the community’s zoning proposal for Upper Warburton Ave. (to go from hi-rise to garden apartments) and the next step will be a public hearing at City Hall on Tuesday, October 14th - so save the date and make plans to attend.

Next – was a preliminary proposal for a 43 unit townhouse style development to replace the homes located at 1171, 1175 and 1189 Warburton Ave. The developer has expressed an interest in being a good neighbor and in that vain put forth a project that in many ways reflects the standards of the MG zone while retaining the right to utilize some of the A zone standards.

And – REMI Development’s principal, Eric Kaiser, (owner of the pit at 1077 Warburton Ave.) appeared briefly before the planning board this week – he was unprepared to address the issues at hand and will have to return at a later date.

Next RCCY Meeting

Lastly – there’s so much going on in our area - way too complex for an email – so to catch up on things & coordinate our next steps we’ll be having our next RCCY meeting this Tuesday, September 16th at 7:30 p.m. at the home of Audra Moran & Joe Sampino located at 26 Odell Ave. Active residents are the key to a better Greystone - so join us Tuesday and we'll get things done!

Thank you,

we really need to get some kind of alarm system in the garages

last night we went out for a walk around dusk and my walking companion noticed the warburton garage door was stuck open. They said it had been like that all afternoon . On the return from the walk around 8pm it was still wide open.
i was able to fix it and got it working correctly.
with all the problems in the neighborhood with car break ins having a garage door stuck open is bad news.
we pay $2083 a year for the garage door contract, Manny said the garage door people were notified of a problem with this warburton door last week.
i saw him this morning and he said last night after i called him he came down and he was able to get it to work, so he thought it was working again. hopefully what i did enabled it to work overnight,
if anyone sees it open call Manny or even call me if its before midnight. I'd rather help try and get it closed and show you what i did, then have an incident.
