Old Business
● We have no updates on adding to or replacing the anti-loitering deterrents on the alley walls. We are still looking into alternatives. As always if you see people loitering on our property or in the alley, please contact the Seattle Police Department. Their non-emergency number is 206-625-5011. If there is an emergency, please dial 911 for immediate assistance.
● As a reminder: To help maintain security to the building, please wait for the garage door/gate to close completely before proceeding to your destination, whether that be your parking space or your outing. Waiting for the gate to close will help prevent people from slipping into the garage to steal our cars and our possessions. It’s everyone’s (homeowners, renters & guests) responsibility to keep our building secure. It takes less than one (1) minute for the gate to close securely.
● The repair work on the x01 and x06 decks is nearly complete. The work shall be completed and scaffolding removed by the end of June.
● The Board approved an increase to the move-in/move-out fee, which will raise from $250 to $325. This increase will take effect on Sunday, July 1, 2012.
● Replacement of the shingle roof on the east building is looking to be scheduled for July or August. It all depends upon the weather. We’ll post more information in the lobby as the project moves forward.
● As warm weather approaches remember that neighbors can hear noise coming from your unit. Please be aware of all audio levels, remember to shut off any wake up alarms, and put a citronella collar on your dog(s) as a deterrent to control barking. Your neighbors will appreciate your consideration.
New Business
● Please mark your calendars. The annual Homeowners meeting has been scheduled for 7pm on Wednesday, August 15, 2012. Notices and proxies will be mailed to all homeowners. As usual, the meeting will be held in the exercise/bike storage room. Please bring a chair for this event so that you may be comfortable.
● In the past few and up coming months, we had or will have five new homeowners in the building.
Welcome to the building everyone!
● The fire alarm last month was an act of vandalism. The person(s) pulled an alarm pull box and broke it, which is why it took so long to clear the alarm. The Association was cited by the fire department since the fire system was damaged. The damaged pull box was replaced later that same morning and the citation was cleared. If you have any information on who set off the alarm, please notify Property Concepts.
● There will not be a July 2012 meeting of the Board.
Meeting adjourned: 7:00pm.
Our next meeting is scheduled for Monday, August 13, 2012 at 6:30pm in Unit E108.
