Summary of Fall 2016 POA General Meeting
Posted by Damon on Oct 10, 2016 in Uncategorized | 0 comments Good day. My apologies for not getting this out sooner. My schedule is very hectic right now and while that is not to be used as an excuse, but rather as an explanation as to the delay in this information being posted for you to view. Please do send any questions you may have regarding items discussed in this email to board@bridgeportpoa.com. We are open to any and all thoughts and comments. We would also like to again thank each of you that were available and able to attend the meeting back on September 18th. There was an amazing turnout and great conversation about the POA and possible changes that are upcoming. Thank you again. We began the meeting by discussing the financial state of the POA. We are currently around an 85% payment rate for POA Dues for 2016. If you have yet to pay your dues for 2016, please contact treasurer@bridgeportpoa.com immediately to discuss options for getting your account current. Thank you to all residents who have paid their dues for the 2016 year. We greatly appreciate your prompt attention to this matter each year. A review of the current projects that were currently ongoing in the POA was next on the agenda.

Instead of having all lights on one transformer, we have added 2 more transformers and in essence created 3 zones of lights. Also, we added a surge suppression on the incoming line for the main power. This surge suppression will protect us in the event there is a surge somewhere else not directly on our line. Hopefully this will protect us more in the future and reduce an incident where all lights are out from one incident. Entry way Progress The entryway should be 100% completed, except for the replacement of the damaged lights as described above. They are adding an extra outlet for us to potentially use for Christmas and other holiday decorations should we choose. Light Pole Replacement We did replace 3 more light poles this...read more
