● Window and dryer vent cleaning has been scheduled for Thursday, May 1st and Friday, May 2nd. Notices have been mailed to homeowners and flyers have been posted in the lobby. Homeowners with tenants, please inform your residents about the cleaning.
● Repairs to a fifth floor deck are just about complete. The deck coating will be applied once the weather is warmer and drier.
● Recycling reminder: From the latest mailing: “In Seattle, we ignore the numbers on the plastics containers. You can recycle the following plastic items: rigid food containers such as bottles, cups, takeout containers, tubs, jars, and lids wider than 3 inches. Make sure everything is EMPTY AND CLEAN before recycling.”
Please refer to Cleanscapes or the City of Seattle’s website for what is recyclable: http://www.cleanscapes.com/seattle/recycling_guidelines/residential/.
● All of the common area doors have now been adjusted with closers and locks replaced as needed.
● The door to unit E213 has been replaced by the unit owner. Our painter/handyman will paint the door to match all other doors.
New Business
● In the coming months, we’ll be scheduling a preventive maintenance appointment with Associated Roofing to check the roofs (both buildings) for any damage or wear.
● The first installment of the 2014 property taxes will be paid by the end of April. The county correctly mailed the bill to Property Concepts.
● We are looking into having the trees along the alley side of the property removed, as they’re too large for the space. We’ll also be looking into what, if anything, we will replace trees.
● Anand Singla was appointed to the Board to replace Karen Henley, who has moved. He will serve until the annual HOA meeting where the membership will confirm his appointment or elect a new member.
● RULES CHANGE: The new key price is $20/key; up from $15/key. The new charge covers increased costs of the key and postage. This amount applies towards replacing lost or broken keys as well as additional keys. The $100 deposit for additional keys still applies. This rules change will be in effect as of June 1, 2014. The rules update and a modified key request form are available online.
● The alley garage vehicle door was repaired due to a malfunction. A few parts were replaced, the door was adjusted, and some preventative maintenance was performed. The Summit Ave vehicle gate was serviced as well.
● To help with expediting the removal of trespassers, we placed additional No Trespassing signage on the property. We’re also considering painting No Trespassing on the concrete outside the alley garage door. If you see trespassers or loiterers, please contact the police.
Meeting adjourned: 7:07pm.
Next Board meeting is scheduled for Monday, May 12, 2014 at 6:30pm in Unit E108.
