Old Business
Sewer Pipe Lining Update
The contract with Pipe Lining Technologies has been sent to the attorney for review. The cost quote for the job for the sewer pipes under the garage comes in at $123,695. The time is estimated at 5-7 days for the main sewer pipes and 2 days for each stack connecting pipe.
The plan is to do the main pipe repair in early June and the building must be vacated during the process. Water will be turned off to the entire building because absolutely no water can come into the pipes. Proper notification will be provided before the main pipe work begins so plans can be made ahead of time.
The connection pipes from the stacks will be done on a stack by stack basis and will require 2 days per stack. Owners will be required to vacate the stack during the process. The water to the stack will be turned of during the process because absolutely no water can come into the pipes during the process. The stack work will take 1 day to perform and 1 day to cure the material inside of the pipe. Proper notification will be provided before the stack work begins.

New Business
Elevator Issues
The issue with the elevator becoming unresponsive seemed to have a connection to the door hold button. Owners were asked not to use the door hold button until the issues were resolved. Over the holidays, TK Elevator allowed the board to reset the elevator to get it up and running. On Friday, January 13, 2023, Peter Tedone and Sharon Dowling met with our new TK Account Manager and expressed our concerns that TK had not been able to figure out our issue. A more proactive plan was discussed. If TK does not figure the issue out soon, we may need to take legal action to get out of our 5 year contract that renewed in February of 2021.
Pool Area Hedge and Paver Separation
The Ficus bushes along the Aloha side of the property are doing poorly. The treatment for white fly disease was canceled due to the continuing decline. The board will begin work to determine where the property line is between us and the Aloha. White fencing is being suggested to replace the area from the seawall to where the garage fencing starts. Perhaps a planting area can be included in front of the fence. The same bushes along the north side of the parking lot are being considered for replacement of the Ficus beyond the new fence area going down the south side of the driveway. The board is waiting on quote from Natural Greenscapes to fix the paving area splitting apart from the grass on walkway around the pool.
Open Forum
Bill Todd asked about the status of bringing water up to the catwalks. Sharon Dowling is looking into getting new quotes since Paradise Plumbing has become very expensive. Bill Todd asked about the status of the sprinkler vote taken years ago. At the time it was voted not to pursue unit sprinklers. The building is still under the height requirement for making it mandatory to install sprinklers. Ann Baldassare talked about the upcoming city meeting on January 19th concerning road improvements for N Riverside Drive. She contacted the engineering firm and there will only be the in person meeting. Several board members plan to attend the meeting.
Adjournment
There being no further business to be brought before the board, by proper motion by Barbara Ellis, seconded by Sharon Dowling, the meeting was unanimously adjourned at 6:02 PM.
