Capacity Crowd Attend March 22 Open Board Meeting in Einstein Center

BY ROZAAN BOONE

Shareholders filled Room 45 in the Einstein Center on Wednesday evening, March 22, for an Open Board meeting that was highlighted by a spirited Gallery Session.

More than 30 shareholders signed up to address the Riverbay Board and Management with questions and comments about a wide range of topics, including convectors, homeowners’ insurance, brown water, cleanliness of the community, electric bikes, finances, transportation, and other topics.

The Board amended the agenda to move the business portion of the meeting to the ending of evening. And, after hearing from shareholders during a Gallery Session that lasted approximately 2½ hours, the Board approved two resolutions, 23-16 for replacement of eight substation transformers, and 23-17, a lease with Westside Wings Co-op City LL, at 2059 Bartow Avenue.

The first shareholder to address the Board was Glenn Acosta, a 50-year resident of Co-op City, who grew up in the community. He said his mom passed away in January and he had no idea that he had succession rights to the apartment until after she passed. He asked for shareholders to be informed of the process so as to prepare in advance.
