Old Business
A Unit is delinquent on an insurance co-pay for some of the past flood damage. The Board is contacting the owner to hopefully finalize the issue. If the issue cannot be resolved via other methods the account will be sent to collections.
The Board has received 33 approvals for the amendment consent. Board members will be going door to door seeking approval from those homeowners who have not yet responded.
The Board continues to attempt to contact a MIA unit owner to arrange access to an empty unit for deck repairs.
The Board discussed reducing the number of garbage pickups the building elects to receive from the city due to the newly expanded recycling program. The Board will continue to monitor the trash levels over the next month or two and decide if it would be a good cost savings or could set us up for overage charges.
New Business
The Board is scheduling our bi-annual window washing and carpet cleaning in the next 60 days.
The next annual HOA meeting is scheduled for the evening of Wednesday, August 12th, 2009. Please keep an eye out for more details in the coming weeks.
The Board is contacting the City of Seattle regarding the possibility of installing speed bumps in the alley to help reduce the speed and noise of vehicles behind the building.
Meeting Adjourned: 7:15 PM
