Committee Reports
● The Redwood is still a nuisance with their loud music and loud patrons. Please contact the police non-emergency number (206-625-5011 and follow the prompts) to report the noise violations. You may also contact the Redwood to vent your complaints. Their number is 206-329-1952.

Old Business
● The Board continues to investigate installing anti-loitering devices on the alley concrete walls. These devices would prevent people from loitering on our property. We are looking to have these installed sometime this spring 2012. If you see people loitering in the alley, please contact the police.
● REMINDER: Please wait for the Summit Avenue garage gate to close before driving or walking away from the building or to your parking space. The building is only as secure as we all make it. Your car could be the next one broken into and ransacked.
● The Summit Avenue pedestrian door, which is next to the Summit Avenue garage gate, will be out of commission for a few hours this winter. Notices will be posted as the door replacement project approaches a start date.
● REMINDER: No smoking permitted in all common areas. This includes both garages. Signs have been posted on the bridge breezeways that connect the two buildings.
● The Board will be moving and closing one of our Association accounts, as the current bank will soon be charging fees if we don’t keep a minimum balance in the account. We are planning to close the account before the end of November 2011.
● Repairs to one of the 5th floor patios in the east building has been completed.

New Business
● We have renewed our contract with Oriental Landscape Maintenance for another year.
● We have also renewed our contract with Northwest Security Services for another year.
● A homeowner reported spotting insects in his unit. The Association can only treat common areas. Unit bug problems must be handled by each unit owner.
● The Board has learned that our former building maintenance person has returned to Washington. We plan to rehire him for the same job duties as before.

Meeting adjourned: 7:05pm.
Our next meeting is scheduled for Monday, January 9, 2012 at 6:30pm in Unit E108.

The Board will not be meeting in December.
