BOARD OF DIRECTORS BOARD MEMBERS PRESENT: Michel Pytlarz, Tom Puntillo, Carlos Rosende, Tony DeCesare and Marge Trani. OWNERS PRESENT: Vivian Greco, Judy Jensen, and Nell Itahara. Michel brought the meeting to order at 7:40 P.M. MINUTES OF June 8, 2005 MEETING – read by Marge and accepted by the board of directors. TRESPASSING SIGNS: Doris contacted BSO and all forms are in order and two new signs were ordered, for the front and rear entrances. Marge to follow-up why signs have not been displayed. NEW ELEVATOR MONITORING COMPANY: Effective September 1, 2005 Thyssen-Crupp has been hired to handle our elevators (conveniently our contract with the previous monitoring company expired on August 31, 2005). The new company will ascertain whether or not anyone is in the elevator and if not, will have an engineer, from our area, take care of the problem. If that is the case the Fire Department will not be needed and the presence of a board member will not be required. MOLD PROBLEM: Jack Jackson (Unit # 711) met with a Mold Expert and it was determined that it appears to be a surface type. Pure bleach needs to be applied, when dry, a special paint is then used to eliminate any future mold growth. Several more tests are needed in different areas to be certain there are no other mold species around. Also, the carpet retains moisture and since there is no air conditioning in the hallways it was recommended that the flooring should have been tiled, from the beginning. Moist air is blowing into the halls, from the duct above the glass double doors leading to the catwalk, with nowhere to go as there are some ventilation ducts (in the water heater rooms) that are closed. Motion to proceed with additional testing followed by application of the Mold preventative paint and the feasibility of installing tile or “fogging” the carpet was unanimously carried. APPROVAL OF NEW OWNERS: Steve Chiotis will be the new owner of Unit # 701 and Philip Biber will be the owner of Unit # PH 7 (Joe Tarantino is currently renting, this unit from July 22, 2005 thru July 21, 2006). Michael Marcesa will be the owner of Unit # 902. They have been interviewed and accepted by the board of directors. PAVING FRONT AND REAR AREAS: After an in depth discussion comparing concrete and pavers, and taking into consideration of costs, it was decided to proceed with pavers along the sidewalk (north to south) at the rear of the building (west side) using road pavers in the dumpster area, and regular pavers for the rest. The same color as used in the pool area will be used. The raised damaged area will be dug out and, should it rise in the future, the pavers can be lifted, area leveled, and the pavers put back. It was also decided to pave the circle area in the front against the building. We had been informed by the engineer that it would be less costly than concrete and asphalt to do this as we have to raise that area 6 inches to make the curb under the awning less of a step up. This will also help with the drainage. BARBEQUE AREA: Many residents have expressed interest in a barbecue area. The board will be investigating the code requirements and whether a permanent or mobile unit is the way to proceed. More information to follow.
VANDALISM IS BECOMING A REAL PROBLEM—PLEASE BE AWARE AND REPORT ANYTHING SUSPICIOUS IMMEDIATELY SO THAT A TIME FRAME CAN BE ESTABLISHED AND OUR SECURITY CAMERAS CHECKED. THESE INCIDENTS CAUSE DAMAGE AND REQUIRE REPAIRS WHICH IN THE LONG RUN WILL AFFECT OUR MAINTENANCE COSTS!
PARKING ON NORTH WALL: When parking against the north wall (front entrance), be sure to park heading west so as not to confuse anyone entering the front entrance. You will be subject to towing. PARKING AT REAR ENTRANCE: ABSOLUTELY NO PARKING IN RED AREAS, I.E. FIRE LANE, AS THE FIRE DEPARTMENT CAN FINE ANYONE IN THIS AREA. YELLOW MARKED AREAS ARE FOR LIMITED PARKING I.E. 5-10 MINUTES........NOT AN HOUR OR MORE! HURRICANE PREPAREDNESS: Please be advised that the Condo Rules require that all balconies be completely clear of any furnishings etc. This past hurricane, several balconies still had furniture or building supplies on them. We will be fining people who do not comply with this rule and you will be held responsible for any damage caused by those items. WATER HEATER DAMAGE: Unit #1001 damage and clean-up amounted to $8,500. Numerous attempts have been ignored by the owner’s insurance carrier. Our attorney will be sending a letter to the owner who is responsible for the expenses incurred. Meeting was adjourned at 9:45 P. M.
