Management Present

Bonita Vandall, LCAM, CMCA, AMS, CBA, PCAM from The Wright Community Management, LLC. was present as well as other unit owners in the zoom meeting.

Proof of Notice of Meeting

Notice and Agenda were confirmed by email to all owners last Friday and posted onsite by Jeff Bartlett.

By proper motion by Marc Larochelle seconded by Joe Dembeck the meeting minutes of April 15, 2024 were unanimously approved as presented.

Management Report

Bonita Vandall reported the elevator was called out of service on 4/30, there was a fire alarm issue on the 7th floor with a smoke detector that was replaced; there was a health department inspection of the pool on 5/23rd unit 201 has a leak from exterior wall into the unit and APlus has inspected the wall and will determine how it will be accessed so they can bid the project; both skylights are leaking and Bange Roofing has been contacted, it was noted that one skylight was repaired last April and is leaking again; the fire alarm was in trouble again today and was reported to Genset Fire and found the smoke detectors need to be cleaned and the panel reset.

Financial Report

Marc Larochelle reported that March looked fine. Cash flow is low, but money should be coming in soon. He saw no issues. Sharon stated the financial report is showing the cash is negative on page 2 and it is a mistake, and she will get the statements revised.

Old Business

Catwalk Tile Repair

Sharon reported there are a few tiles on floor 3 and 7 to be addressed and one outside 402. She was working with Discount Tile and getting nowhere with them. We are investigating another tile company.

Painting Committee Update

Joe reported they are looking at colors and soliciting feedback with conversations around accent colors. We are targeting the fall to get an owner vote for the color and then we start working as a committee to complete the specifications so we can balance everything we want to do with the money we have and then get the contractors back in for another walk through. We will be looking at contractors for the best job and best price.

New Business

Elevator Consultant Report

Sharon Dowling stated it was money well spent and reviewed the report with the board. Basically, it was determined that TK had not been doing the maintenance as contracted. The board feels it would be best if the consultant deals with TK Elevator as needed. They recommend strongly that we continue with TK and force them to do the repairs and the changes as needed and should have been done all along. We have things that need to be done and that will give us time to raise money in the reserves to get some of the work we need to do done. The consultant’s report will be posted on the website.

Proposal For Back Area Landscaping

Sharon Dowling reported we have a proposal to place landscaping around the generator and flagpole area for around $3000, which also includes repairing the irrigation and placing mulch everywhere and placing two trees, etc. Green shrubs were placed out there in the past to be able to pass code and zoning issues. Several options were discussed, do front rather than back or do it yourself. Tabled, no board action was taken.

Pool Equipment Change Per Health Department

A new head of the health department is now requiring an acid feeder barrel and drain. There was a main drain cover report problem, it was refiled with the city as they could not locate it. Morris, of Crystal Pools, took care of everything immediately.

Leaking Skylights

Both skylights leaked during the torrential rains earlier this month. Paul Bange has been contacted for repair.

Unit 201 Leak

A leak is coming in on the master bedroom sidewall and the contractor was asked to communicate with the owner’s contractor for entry. They showed up today unannounced. This will be rescheduled.

Changes to Governing Documents

Sharon Dowling reported the association attorney feels strongly concerning two changes to the documents. First change is to remove the 75% approval to majority rule and the second change is to give the board the ability without an owner vote to make simple rule changes or additions. The owners would also have the ability to request an owner’s vote to veto the change or addition. It will go out soon to the owners and everyone will need to vote. This vote will require 75% of the members in order to pass. The cost to do this would be around $1000.

Common Area Etiquette

Sharon Dowling stated there was a recent issue with an unruly guest that was not proper, out of control and rude towards a board member. We wish to change the rules to assist the board with this type of behavior and to ensure everyone is courteous and abides by the rules. The unit owner was informed that this type of behavior is not in keeping with the community rules and expectations of conduct towards others.

Open Forum

Sharon Dowling reported the side windows are scheduled to be cleaned on July 5th. We are down to two building colors for the owners to consider. Joe Dembek will work on colors for the front lobby and hopefully in early fall we go for an owner vote. Joe asked that we consider looking at a color change near the elevator as the area is very industrialized looking. The SIRS reserve report should be coming out soon so that we can budget as it was to take 2-3 months and we are at the 3 month time frame.

Adjournment

By proper motion by Joe Dembek, seconded by Marc Larochelle the meeting was adjourned at 5:30PM.
