BOARD OF DIRECTORS BOARD MEMBERS PRESENT: Michel Pytlarz, Thomas Puntillo, Joe Hess, and Marge Trani. Absent: Tony De Cesare. OWNERS PRESENT: Nineteen. Meeting was brought to order at 7:35 P.M. Minutes of the January 31, 2006 meeting was read by Marge and accepted. NEW MAINTENANCE COMPANY: Shondel has quit without notice and we haven’t received call backs from Horizon Maintenance. Consequently, we have notified them we no longer require their services. We have contracted with K&D, who were referred to us by Doris. Elda will now work for them and is very happy since she will be getting a week’s paid vacation. As of Monday we will have a permanent maintenance man. K&D will also supply extra staff at their expense for the next two weeks to bring the building up to the standard they will keep it at. ROOF: We have finally received the required permit and the sealing of the roof should take place March 13th. Delivery of the replacement fans seems to be a problem but hopefully they will be installed prior to the sealing process. TREASURER’S REPORT: Total of all accounts, per Joe, is $141,000. Accountant recommended setting up a new Hurricane account. However, it was decided this is unnecessary as we could track the details in the Special Assessment account. Joe will follow-up with Doris. BELL PAINTING: The pressure cleaning, of the building, has commenced and it has been brought to our attention that there are a number of cracks, in the structure (probably due to the swaying during the hurricane). These need to be addressed by Bell Painting, and larger cracks, by Aquashield. AIR CONDITIONING: A well expert will be here on Wednesday to examine the pump and determine the problem. There will be updates, as we receive them, and HOPEFULLY we will have our air conditioning back soon. POOL PUMP: We are checking into repairs to the pool and have an estimate of $8,600 to install a new Fiberglass liner. The pool can be used but will have to be down for repairs when it is determined the best and least expensive solution. ASSESSMENT:
We still haven’t determined the final assessment figure for
the following reasons: PAVERS: Paving is almost complete, with the exception of the front entrance and the pool breezeway. LANDSCAPING: Tom and Sandy reported on palm trees that need to be removed and recommended replacement with Royal palms at a cost of $75 instead of Coconut palms costing $1,200 per tree and planting shade trees in the pool area. Board voted to have all damaged palms cut down. Also, Tom is checking other landscape maintenance companies as we are not satisfied with Tri-R. BARBEQUE GRILL: Tom brought up the issue of the BBQ grill purchased by Mike, who assumed it would be paid for by the building, even though he was asked to return it. He stated that the grills were very helpful after “Wilma” and the issue of a permanent grill has been mentioned in previous meetings (and tabled each time). Based on the fact there was no approval by the board for this purchase, and the fact that this could set a precedent (someone purchasing a Hot Tub, Large TV, etc. and assuming the board would reimburse them), the board voted against purchasing the grill from Mike. A suggestion was made to purchase 2 charcoal grill and 20 bags of charcoal, which can be stored safely, in case of emergency. TABLED: Entrance Shutter--Bicycle Shed—Catwalk Glass Doors NORTH WALL The wall issue is in the hands of the attorney who has said that we may have to sue as the company has ignored similar issues at the site. RULES AND REGULATIONS:
It is a requirement of the rules that keys to each unit be
left with the office in case of emergency. Just recently we had a water leak and
could not get into a unit. We will be requesting keys from any unit that we do
not have. Meeting was adjourned at 9:25 P.M. |
