Minutes from Board Meeting 6-13-07

Minutes
One South Leavitt Condo Association
Meeting Agenda
6-13-06



I. Building Report



Repairs to the 4th Floor - preliminary repairs completed, upon owners' suggestion, we requested that payment be held until repairs are completed to our satisfaction



Door Repairs - doors to and from the garage area from the lobby have been repaired (repairs were completed at a substantial savings from original quotes)



Elevator Repair - elevator is operation - thanks to everyone for their patience while we had to wait for the part to come in from Germany. We are working with the service provider to negotiate cost of repairs - Selvie will be checking in to see if the cost is covered by our existing service agreement.



HVAC Repair - Preliminary repairs have been made to the condensor unit, and are ongoing for the main AC unit. When repairs are completed we'll ask for feedbak re: the temperature but ask that residents refrain from tampering with the thermostat.



In-unit Security Feed - we are aware of the problem and have contacted the individual who installed the system to inquire about ways to repair the feed. The security system itself is fully operational. Since the programming on channels 92 and 21 has reverted back to cable access programming we suspect that something might have been tampered with or accidentally altered during a recent cable installation.



New Common Insurance Carrier - We have switched insurance carriers for the building - this should not effect services in any way.



Move-in/Move-out procedures - Reminder - moves must be scheduled in advance and a refundable deposit must be paid.



II. Financial Report: We are operating in the black but have 22K less in our reserves than we'd budgeted (there should be 40K but we anticipate reducing the deficit to only 18K by years end - we can explore the possibility of a special assessment to replenish the reserves - but reserve amounts were only the developer's best estimates for what might be needed for long-term maintenance of the building).



A lawyer has been hired to help reduce tax bills for all units in the building.



III. New Business:



A. Changes to rules/regulations
re: definition of moving and deck washing - Moving definition will not be changed, the board believes that the current wording is sufficient. If in doubt about whether something qualifies as a move, contact the board or Vanguard to be on the safe side.



We will be adding a clause to the Rules and Regulations that states that "Powerwashing of decks is prohibited" based on accidental damage that occurred to the garage during a recent power wash. New copies of the amended rules and regulations will be sent to all owners.




B. Landscaping We are seeking quotes to replace the two trees in front of the building (one dead/one missing) and will also contact the city to determine if they will cover any of the costs associated with these landscaping efforts.



C. Elevator Painting - we requested two quotes/estimates for repainting the elevator and two quotes/estimates for repairing the tiling in the elevator



D. Window Washing - we requested two quotes/estimates for external window washing



E. Key Fobs - key fobs were distributed, as per the rules and regulations, the fee for key fobs is $15.



F. Roof Access - requested that locks to the roof be changed to prevent unauthorized access



Other Notes:
Rey in 210 is looking to rent a parking space for two motorcycles
Please be respectful and keep music volume down - and limited to decent hours
Tony is monitoring the development of the building slated to be built to our immediate east - all owners present expressed concern over the parking shortage that would result from a development that size.
