Old Business
● The Board has asked for estimates to install anti-loitering devices on the trash room concrete wall and the concrete wall surrounding the SPU vent. These devices should 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 make it.
● The Summit Avenue pedestrian door has been replaced and will be painted once weather warms up.
● REMINDER: No smoking permitted in all common areas.
● We are in the process of closing and moving one of the Associations accounts. At this time, we are waiting on the bank to collect the proper paperwork so that we can close the account.]
New Business
● Our mid-year financials are looking good and are as predicted.
● REMINDER: Please inspect all your water supply faucets and flexible lines. Recently, a fellow homeowner found out that one of the flexible lines had failed. Please replace all gray plastic shutoff valves with metal ones. In addition, we recommend that you replace all white plastic supply lines. Don’t forget about the clothes washer, dish washer and hot water heater hook-ups.
● The Board is looking into the cost to replace a few of the lower elevator panels, as they were damaged as a resident moved out of the building.
● WARNING: Unauthorized vehicles will be towed from the dentist office spaces in the Summit Avenue garage without warning. These spaces are for their use and not for guest parking.
● Please check-out the Association’s website (www.ambassador2.com) for any inquiries on Rules and Regulations. This site is quite informative and should answer all of your questions.
Meeting adjourned: 7:40pm.
