Old Business
● Still no word from Seattle City Light on whether the Association has to pay for the thermostat replacement in the concrete vault on the southeast corner of the building or if it’s City Light’s purchase.
● We’ll be scheduling the autumn window and vent cleaning sometime later this month. Please keep an eye out for a mailing and lobby postings for the dates and times.
New Business
● A homeowner has complained about slippery areas on the north landing at the bottom of the north exterior stairs as one exists from the east building. They also complained about the drain being clogged in addition to the drain on the lower level of this same exterior staircase. As you know, autumn is here and leaves are falling. Unfortunately, these leaves tend to cover these drains from time to time. If you see one of the drains covered, please use your foot or hand to remove the debris from the grill over the drain. This should clear up the standing water. As for the slippery areas, leaves also may be the culprit for the slipperiness. We have ordered a mat for this area to help eliminate the possibility of slipping.
● The Ambassador 1 & 2 boards met late last week to discuss a few things.
○ Item 1: AMB1 will be looking into installing another light fixture in the alley garage. AMB2 board has authorized this as long as AMB1 pays for the fixture and the installation.
○ Item 2: AMB1 has informed us that they will be doing work in the planter along the south side of their building to fix a water seepage problem. They’ll be removing all the plant material and soil in this planter shortly. We have authorized AMB1 to heal plants that they will be keeping into our large planter north of the west building. With this in mind, there may be some disruption on the north landing outside of the east building.
○ Item 3: An AMB1 owner has questioned the size of their parking space and believes that we restriped the location of the line incorrectly a few years ago. We’ll be measuring the space to make sure the line was drawing correctly and get back to them. All parking spaces have specified square-footage listed in the declaration.
Meeting adjourned: 7:05pm. Next meeting will be on January 10th, 2011 at 6:30pm in Unit E108. There will be no Board meeting in December.
