Business
- Jay, the external Gardening Committee, proposed postponing the window washing in fall and resuming in spring.
- The Board is considering looking into a fourth-floor cell-phone camera which could also go in the lobby. These would remove the need for wifi to be set up.
- Reminder to please report your package thefts; we are currently investigating at least one missing package.
- The Board will be rolling out a system that will centralize reporting incidents, so please be on the lookout for that information soon – in the minutes, on the bulletin, and in additional places.
- We have heard concerns about people jumping over the gates. The Board has on deck soliciting bids for either replacing it or getting something that can be placed above it.
- A bid for replacing the fourth floor carpet has been acquired and accepted.
- The paint and drywall around the elevator panels are still in need of attention on all floors. We will be soliciting bids for this.
- The Board has its eye on a backup system or service for when Lisa is unavailable.
- We are missing fire covers. Replacement covers are needed and a bid will be solicited.
- From the fire inspection, we found that the x04 stack’s issue is still persistent, and that some units were missing speakers. Ashley will report back with more information.
