Business
- The Board has engaged people to assess the staircase. So far, we have not received a complete report, but the experts (envelope consultants) indicate that there is no structural danger currently and this is not an emergency. They have examined the stairs, railing, and structure as a whole. The proposal will be purely cosmetic. They suggest that routine maintenance will also improve lifespan.
- Regarding the roof, V&R Roofing has submitted a proposal and we have a quote. Macleod Construction, who has done minor repairs in the past, and Rainier Roofing have also been contacted. This process will take 2-3 months, but the vendors so far have all been on site. V&R confirmed that the anchors could be done later, but of course scaffolding is expensive so it may be advantageous to do this all at once. We’ll continue to monitor this monthly.
- Annual carpet cleaning is due, and we are confirming which vendor handled this last year.
- We are in the process of installing a trial 4G security camera to monitor the main courtyard entrance, which should help us enhance security without needing extensive electrical work. The existing camera appears to have been disconnected as well, and we need to examine the footage and look into additional security measures.
- TKE continues to be unresponsive regarding elevator maintenance. We have reached out numerous times, and Ashley will now begin to solicit quotes from other companies for ongoing maintenance.
- Finally, we’ve identified some lighting issues on the south side of the building. Jason will check the breakers and timers and follow up with an update. If needed, we’ll get a proposal for repairs.
