Rules
No rule violations were reported.

Old Business
• The -03 stack repairs have been completed. The 503 deck was found to have serious structural issues, which have been repaired. The fascia on all -03 decks were replaced with concrete boards to eliminate surface rot.
• The hardscaping on Howell Street has been completed with one exception. The space around the manhole cover will be filled in soon to make for a level surface. This was a project that has been debated for several years, and we are pleased that it is finally resolved.

New Business
• Puget Sound Energy is replacing the gas meter for the property. PSE will need to access all units with fireplaces. A letter from Property Concepts will follow with more details.
• A homeowner approached a Board member after the annual meeting. They suggested if the Association is able to provide wireless Internet service to the building that we should consider installing wireless video cameras for security. The Board will add this to our request for a proposal document should we be able to find the funds for this project.
• We have had a number of lights fail in the garage. These fixtures are difficult to come by. This is why these fixtures are out for long periods of time. We replace them as soon as we are able to get replacements. We always try to keep one or two in stock but this is not always possible.
• The Association is seeing ever increasing water bills. If anyone has leaks please fix them. If anyone is hearing persistent water running, please notify the Board so that we may investigate.

Meeting Adjourned: 7:35 PM
