It May Be Time To Clean
Out Those File Cabinets
By Bruce Bandler, Administrator
Excellent attendance at the most recent seminar hosted by Wynmoor’s association attorney Mark Bogen is indicative of the fact our directors are both
conscientious, dutiful and open to continuing education on how to best serve
their neighbors and the community in general.
It is significant to note there remains a rather large percentage of board
members that have held the position for several years. Many assume this responsibility without hesitation and they are meticulous in their job performance,
carefully organizing and storing records and documents.
Through the ‘grapevine’ we’ve heard stories of director’s units with overstuffed
file cabinets, piles of paper on floors and furniture and irritated spouses that just
want the ‘mess’ cleaned up.

Wynmoor Is
Your Home,
Not A Motel For
Your Guests
By Fred J. Michael,
Director of Association Affairs
Numerous directors have requested this article previously published in The Village Choice to be
featured now that a majority of our
‘seasonal’ residents have returned.
The directors are concerned
about the growing number of
guests staying in units while the unit
owner is absent, which is a violation of the governing documents in
a majority of the 44 Wynmoor associations.
Showing frustration, association presidents are demanding the proverbial “No Vacancy” signs be posted throughout the
Wynmoor community in an attempt to curtail those who frequently utilize their units as a “motel” for family and friends.
The governing documents in 40 associations currently prohibit guests from occupying a unit for any period of time without
the permanent owner residing in the unit. The other associations have some sort of restrictions. Overall, all 44 associations
limit the amount of time a guest can stay in a calendar year.
Your governing documents also state the unit shall have an operating telephone landline at all times in order for the emergency alarm system to function, including those residents that are here for a couple months. Every unit must have an operating
landline phone 12 months of the year.
The emergency alarm system equipment located in every unit in the Wynmoor community will operate only if an in-service
landline telephone is operational. If service is disconnected, or there is no phone connected to an active wall jack, the alarm
system will not work. Additionally, AT&T U-Verse and telephone instruments such as Magic Jack and Vonage are not
compatible to the alarm system and may not be connected. Failure to comply not only puts your unit in danger in the event of
a fire, but the entire building. This is not an option. ALL units must have an operating landline phone.
Your governing documents also require your unit to be master keyed to the Wynmoor Security Master Key program. You
may be interested to know that for safety purposes to you and others, all apartments are required to have locks that fit this
system. You can call the Wynmoor Maintenance Department at 954.978.2640 where our in-house locksmith can help you
comply with this requirement.
Management Is The Custodian Of Association Records
RECORDS From Page 1
While you may want to retain specific files that are reference often, please be aware that management is the official
‘records custodian’ and, therefore, all necessary records, documents, etc. are properly filed and stored in our offices.
As previously mentioned, we have many ‘veteran’ directors never tiring of serving on the board. I’m wondering
whether any of you have collected what I consider original
paraphernalia such as blue prints, floor plans, etc. My office
is frequently questioned about floor plans and unit square footage.
If it just so happens that yours is tucked away in one of
your file drawers or sitting in a pile of papers, consider this a
plea for a donation. Any item that may be considered Wynmoor
nostalgia is welcome. Thank you for helping us be more accommodating to our resident’s requests and thank you for your
continued contribution to Wynmoor.
