Business
- A proposal to gain access to the x04 stack to assess the fire alarm system has been approved.
- We have learned that energy benchmarking, as mandated by the city, had not been performed this year. The benchmarking has already been performed and an appeal made with the city. It seems very likely that this will be forgiven and cleared up soon.
- We are launching a new email to keep track of maintenance requests, maintenance@ambassador2.com, for whatever problems residents or homeowners notice around the property. These may be small things or bigger-picture ideas. Hopefully, if it’s something simple, a board member can attend to it quickly. We will be keeping track of issues and noting when they have been resolved.
- N.B. that there is no guaranteed timeline for a response, but your reports are appreciated.
- Several incidents have been occuring in the garage of late, between cars being broken into and several storage units. The Board is working on installing brighter lights that will stay on rather than the current motion sensor lights we have. Additionally, please make sure to wait for the gate to close behind you.
Security
- Previous Month Reported Incidents: Vehicles Reported Stolen: 0; Locker Break-Ins: 3; Package Thefts: 0
- Promptly report all security incidents to board@ambassador2.com (thefts, break-ins, broken doors/locks, etc.).
Meeting adjourned at 7:55pm.
Next Board meeting is scheduled for Monday, November 11th, 2024 at 6:30pm in the Fitness Center.
