Old Business
● The leak in one of the 5th floor decks has been repaired. The contractor is now double checking the repair with the rain scheduled for this week. If all is good, they’ll start the interior repairs.
● A continued reminder, please wait for the garage gate to close completely before proceeding to your parking space or away from the building. If you walk out the garage door and not the pedestrian door, please also wait for it to close before walking away from the building.
● The Board has transferred funds from our reserve account at Washington Federal to the reserve account at Sound Credit Union. This transfer will be reflected in the March financials.
● Both Ambassador Boards (I & II) will hold a joint meeting in next week to discuss items relating to both associations.
● Four ceiling can light fixtures in the east building were repaired.
● Another reminder, please be aware that all of our walls, floors, and ceilings in the building are thin. Please be considerate of your neighbors.
● We continue to find garbage (kitchen scraps, bookcases, pizza boxes, Styrofoam etc.) in the recycling bins. Please be sure to only place recyclables (cardboard, paper, aluminum cans, tin cans, glass, etc.) in the recycle bins and trash in the trash bins. IF IN DOUBT, THROW IT OUT! If we lose the recycle bins, our garbage bill will rise significantly.
New Business
● A vehicle was towed from the garage as this vehicle was not properly parked in their space. The neighboring parking space could not be fully accessed and the owner of the space asked the vehicle be towed. As a reminder, please park your vehicle completely within the lines of your parking space.
● Our spring window and vent cleaning will be schedule for sometime in April. Please keep an eye out for a notice to be mailed to each owner a few weeks in advance of the scheduled cleaning.
● Another parking issue that we’re having is the number of vehicles in each parking space. Currently, there are a few spaces with motorcycles and cars/trucks occupying one parking space. When either of the vehicles extends into the drive and impedes the automobile circulation, then one of the vehicles needs to be removed from the parking space and parked at another location.
Meeting adjourned: 6:53pm.
Next board meeting is scheduled for Monday, April 8, 2013 at 6:30pm in Unit E108
