Meadowlark Condominium Association

Minutes of Board of Directors Meeting 

April 10, 2026

The meeting commenced at 11:15 a.m. with all directors present.

The primary purpose of the meeting was to discuss, and if appropriate, vote on a transaction with Spectrum to restructure the Association's TV and internet arrangement.

Director Flanagan, who led the effort to negotiate the agreement along with Director Mello, explained the proposed transaction. Rather than individual owners being billed for services such as a basic TV package and internet, the Association would assume the cost on behalf of all 38 unit owners. Director Flanagan noted that at present 37 or 38 total units have internet and TV service. While the cost of a basic package would rise somewhat per unit, Director Flanagan was able to largely offset the increase, negotiating a signing bonus of $5,700 in cash, with expanded basic TV cable and internet included. 

The internet would be at a higher speed than present for most unit owners. New routers would be made available at no cost to unit owners, most of whom would be able to connect the service themselves, although professional installation would be offered for a modest price. In additional, add-on channels would be available, and if accepted, would be paid for by unit owners directly. (The basic charges would still be paid by the Association.) 

Several board members thanked Directors Flanagan and Mello for the time spent understanding and then negotiating this proposed arrangement, and Director Werthan motioned that the Board accept the latest Spectrum proposal, with Director Leyden seconding the motion. The Board then voted unanimously to approve the proposal and gave authority to President Leyden to sign the agreement on behalf of the Association. Director Flanagan was asked and agreed to write a summary of the transaction and to have such summary distributed to all members.

Other matters discussed included a discussion of how best to work with the Playhouse to keep disturbances in connection with its demolition and reconstruction (assuming approval of the project by the town and voters), anticipated after the close of this season through 2027 and potentially beyond, to a minimum. Directors Werthan and Flanagan will reach out to Playhouse management to discuss same. Issues might include noise management, hours of work, HVAC and pump station locations, related issues, and the actual demo and building schedule. It is presently the opinion of the entire Board that it would be better for all concerned, and more effective, if we work with the Playhouse as it transitions to a 21st century facility.

A few other minor issues were discussed and, following a motion by Director Werthan, seconded by Director Ramsay, and unanimously approved, the meeting was adjourned at 12:25 p.m.
