October 2021 PRESIDENT’S PEN Dear Community Members, When I first became a board member in 2015 residents who wished to speak to a committee or to the board would be invited to do so at Michele the beginning of the meeting. Compton, We still encourage residents Board to do that. However, there President has been some concern that every once in a while, an issue will arise that someone in the audience would like to comment. The current board members who chair the committees have elected to call on residents during the meeting to ask a question or to make a comment. This has been very helpful to hear and understand how residents feel about specific issues. The only drawback is sometimes residents ask questions that have been thoroughly covered in articles in the Windsor Life. Then, a committee member will explain what has already been covered. In order to benefit from the more open discussion and for residents to be as informed as possible, please make every effort to read this paper. Last month’s issue talked about policy changes, procedures for power outages, the restaurant closure, reporting issues to the city council, insurance coverage, grounds maintenance, building maintenance, window cleaning schedule, recycling, activities, pets, clubs and scamming prevention – just to name a few of the topics. It truly is a wealth of information! Every attempt is made to answer the questions we as residents have. In addition to encouraging all residents to read the paper, the staff is instituting a readaloud session for the visually impaired. These PRESIDENT'S PEN continued on page 5
