Management Report
Ms. Vandall reported that although Nouveau Elevator is considering a buyout of the TKE Elevator contract, TKE is not cooperating; management has requested a price from Natural Greenscapes to install sod where needed after the pipe project is completed; Pompano Beach accepts the 40 year certification in lieu of the Milestone Inspections, what would have cost $13,800 will now cost $5,000 for the SIRS study only; we are looking at an October timeframe; the SIRS must be completed by 12/31/2024; the Door Lock Monitoring must be installed by December 31, 2023.
Three bids were obtained from Nouveau, Coastal and TKE with Nouveau having the best price. By proper motion by Dennis Rosenfeld, seconded by Anna Enrico it was unanimously approved to contract with Nouveau Elevator for the Door Lock Monitoring installation.
Financial Report
Sharon reported the association is in the black, and approximately $11,000 ahead of budget with $313,000 in operating and reserves. There will be another pipeline draw on the bank loan in the June financials.
Old Business
Sewer Pipe Lining Update
Sharon Dowling and Dennis Rosenfeld reported the pipe lining project is almost completed, they were in and out quickly and finished earlier than expected; however slow at closeout, the holes were backfilled last Friday and will be allowed to settle before concrete can be poured. Everyone was very cooperative concerning parking and storage of vehicles.
Pool Pit Rebuild
The pool pit rebuild is completed and opens much better after the rebuild; there is an exposed gas line that they will build a box around and there are no plans to replace any pavers.
Generator Replacement
Dennis Rosenfeld reported they are still waiting for the transfer switch. The generator is in stock. Permits are in progress.
Subterranean Termite Treatment
Sharon Dowling reported Native Pest Control had installed their termite baiting system in May.
Painting Quotes
Sharon Dowling addressed the need for an additional Committee member as there are currently only two people that have volunteered (Joe Dembek and Pam Kirkpatrick). A few bids have been received ($140k vs $85K + $17K for stairwells). The association has $87k available in reserves. Other items to be addressed at the time of painting are signage for the doors, light fixtures, rusted screws and hardware on the catwalks; stairwell doors; etc.
Water Access to Catwalks
There was much discussion concerning the installation of hose bibs and each floor, etc. and agreed to table consideration at this time.
New Business
Building Water Shutoff Valve for Preventative Maintenance:
There was discussion concerning the pump maintenance (vendor) recommendation of the shutoff valve installation and agreed to table to the next meeting.
Painting Committee Member Needed
This was addressed earlier in the meeting.
Open Forum
The sealing of the pavement was discussed and All County Paving will be asked to bid as the last bid was from a year ago, white or yellow colored car stops were discussed to identify owners spots from guest spots; Nouveau Elevator will be asked for specifics as to how long the elevator will be down and when for the Door Lock Monitoring installation can be scheduled; Nouveau and Coastal will be asked to bid the door closure on the lobby side; it was recommended that a magnet be used on the stainless steel as the magnet will not stick on good steel; consider the use of plastic clips on the copper pipes on the catwalks for the water usage; building color choices were discussed and 75% membership approval needed for a noticeable color change.
Adjournment
There being no further business to be brought before the board, by proper motion by Sharon Dowling, with a second offered by Anna Enrico it was unanimously approved to adjourn the meeting at 5:50 PM.
