The CC has four members: Carol LeBlanc, Shannon Tully, Leslie Johnson and Jim Joyce. The CC meets as/if required as most business items we are able to handle via electronic means. We are no longer operating under the social distancing restrictions for in-person meetings.
CC manages the HOA’s Web Site www.kensingtonhomeowners.com hosted by GoDaddy. We received 562 world-wide hits in the December 2021 time frame. Our account is paid up until March 2025.
The Groups.io HOA communications system continues to work well. We currently have 286 HOA email members on the system. Groups.io is being used with 15 messages exchanged in December 201 and 48 so far in January 2022. We continue to have good support from our residents in using the system and we. hope all new residents are getting the word to sign up. There were two apparent bogus attempts to sign on to the Group.
Our Twitter account has had 721 Tweets since it was activated in March 2013. We have 37 followers on Twitter. In addition, our Twitter account is linked to our web site so you do not have to have a Twitter account to read our Tweets, just go to the web site tab.
We have halted beta testing of a Facebook link to the web site.
So far 60 Kensington residences have requested the cipher code for the BBC. The lock cipher code was last changed on 21 December 2021. Live video coverage of the BBC is linked to the HOA website 24/7 using Cox Communications and Nest Cameras. From monitoring the two video feeds it appears most Kensington users/players are following the post-Covid 19 rules. There was at least one attempted bogus sign-on attempt to gain the BBC password.
We held a community garage sale on Saturday 18 September 2021.
No vehicles were ordered towed during this reported period. No parking tickets/warnings were issued. One extended parking pass was issued in December. Three Nest cameras are operational in the vicinity of the Billberry overflow lot and gazebo; they remained operational during the most recent snow storm. They are linked to our HOA web site.
The Flock Safety license plate capture system continues to operate without problem. We capture about 6000 data points a month based on an average of 200 Route 50 entrances per day via Woodberry Meadow.
