Business
- The Amazon delivery locker quote has been issued and the price is appealing. Jonathan will ask if the discount can be extended slightly so we can get started in January.
- The Board is not happy with TKE’s performance; unfortunately, our contract with them was renewed in 2023. We are collecting a list of grievances and statistics for posterity.
- We are discussing additional low-effort security measures such as frosting the lobby and having at least half the garage lights be always on rather than motion-activated.
- We are trying to repair or replace the elevator key lock box.
- The Board is preparing to either increase our deductible or find another measure to stay insurable after continued claims against our insurance in the past few years.
- We are still looking to engage the right contractor to fix the fire alarm system in the x04 stack. We also discovered that there is at least one unit where the fire alarm panel was removed and will look into that further.
Security
- Previous Month Reported Incidents: Vehicles Reported Stolen: 0; Locker Break-Ins: 0; Package Thefts: 0
- Promptly report all security incidents to board@ambassador2.com (thefts, break-ins, broken doors/locks, etc.).

| Monthly Rule Reminders Do not leave garage remotes in your vehicle (Rule 4.10). Small remotes that attach to key chains can be purchased from sites like Amazon (needs to be LINEAR with 8 dip switches). You must wait for the garage gate to close completely before proceeding away from the building or to your parking space. Failure to do so can result in a fine. (Rule 3.17) |
