Business
- We have recovered the funds that were previously put in limbo and they are now in the WaFd account. We are looking into ways to store that money and may go for something simple like a 3- or 6-month CD for the time being while we decide.
- The Board discussed the matter of the garage door getting stuck several times. For now, we are attempting some fixes that should tide us over, such as sealing the sensor from water, but at some point will look into having it replaced considering its lifespan.
- Regarding the bike racks, we are currently in the process of vacating the spaces of bike owners who have not renewed for the current year.
- Several of the slots are unfortunately broken, and Jonathan is looking into getting replacement parts or perhaps a different bike solution.
- The Amazon locker offer had expired at the end of the year, but we’ll keep our eyes peeled for further offers.
- The Board is booking at switching our earthquake insurance provider for more competitive rates.
- We are looking at potentially low-impact, low-cost things we can do to improve the outdoor stairwell this year, given that our focus is the roof repair/replacement.
