ers: Raymond Tirado, Lynette Wright, Blossom Johns, Mary Pearson, Ezekiel Springer Jr., Ivy Gaynor, Aisha Hernandez Ahmed, Rod Saunders, Monique serve three-year terms. The Election Committee elected on Friday, May 20, to extend the election for another two weeks until 11:59 p.m. on Friday, June 3, 2022, or until the quorum of 5,022 ballots is achieved. To encourage shareholders to cast their ballots – as in the past – the 2022 Election Committee offered a voting incentive of $500 to the building or townhouse association with the highest level of participation in the election. In addition, shareholders who voted in the highest participating building/townhouse will be entered into a random drawing for a First Place prize of $300; Second Place of $200 and Third Place of $100. This week, to remind shareholders about the election, the Election Committee requested RoboCalls to be sent out to the community. The committee also reached out to the presidents of building and townhouse associations to ask them to encourage residents in their building to vote in the election to choose their Board representatives. Since the beginning of the election, the committee has remind shareholders to be on the lookout for their ballots and to complete and return them to YesElections before the May 20th deadline. Further, the three election forums are shown on the Riverbay Crawler from 8 a.m.-2:30 p.m. and

Regulation requires landlords and building owners to ensure the temperature inside apartments is at least 68 degrees if outside temperature is below 55 degrees, and between 10 p.m.-6 a.m., to keep the temperature inside apartments above 62 degrees. Each year, Management takes a calculated risk in shutting down the heating system before May 31st, since up to a two-week window is necessary to work on the heat/air conditioning system while it is out of service and before air conditioning can be turned on. In preparation for air condition season, able-bodied shareholders are urged to check their convectors and make sure the drains are clear to avoid condensate leaks when the system is turned on. A video, in both English and Spanish, is shown on the Riverbay Crawler, channel 12 (MATV) and channel 591 (Optimum). The convector cleaning video is also available on the corporation’s YouTube channel, https://bit.ly/3h6CrF7. Cleaning Procedure: 1. Make sure all switches are turned off before cleaning the convector. 2. Remove cover by lifting it up and swinging the bottom out. 3. Do not remove Styrofoam trays unless replacing the old one with a new one. 4. Make sure the drain from the drip pan and drip tray is not clogged. Test by pouring one quart of hot water into the long tray. If the water does not go down the drain, or the drain becomes clogged, immediately contact your Cooperator 5.
