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.

By proper motion by Peter Tedone, seconded by Joe Dembek the meeting minutes of June 17, 2024 were unanimously approved as presented.

Management Report

Bonita Vandall reported the owner of unit 201 requested to be present when the work is being done on the exterior of the building by L&J Property Maintenance. L&J will also require access to the unit to observe water testing. The cost of unit 201 repair is $3200. The leaking skylight work will be scheduled for repair by Paul Bange Roofing. One such skylight was repaired last April and is expected to be under warranty.

Financial Report

Sharon Dowling stated the financial report was not provided for the meeting by Juda Eskew and Associates. The accountant promised some financials would be provided tomorrow. There is much frustration concerning the financial reporting and lack of timeliness. Bids are in the process of being obtained for the possibility of change in the event things do not improve.

Old Business

Leaking Skylights

Reported earlier in managers’ report.

Unit 201 Water Leak

Reported earlier in managers’ report.

Cat Walk Tile Repair

Sharon Dowling reported there are a few broken and missing tiles on floor 3 and 7 that need to be addressed and one outside 402. Unit 301 has an inset entrance with tile and one such tile is loose. Management will speak with L&J Property Management to replace the tiles while on the project for the exterior repair work. Dennis Rosenfeld reported Discount Tile felt the job was too small and are not interested.

Painting Committee Update

Joe Dembek reported the two color choices are on display in the social room. Sharon Dowling asked Joe to have both mock ups modified to show the top floor ceiling painted white. Joe proposed a motion to vote on the two colors and then follow up with a vote on using a possible accent color for the center column and lobby entrance. By proper motion by Peter Tedone, seconded by Sharon Dowling, it was approved to proceed with a members vote by proxy providing 14 day notice with which to select the new paint color. Sharon will coordinate with management for the notification required. Board members will also provide management with their votes in blank white envelopes. Management will pick one of the blank envelopes randomly should we need to break a tie. The owner vote will happen sometime after the new mockups are available. After all of this is completed, the committee will review the scope of work and obtain new quotes from contractors. The board will seek references and inspections of prior workmanship.

Elevator Consultant Report

Sharon Dowling reported the TK Elevator company representative has changed once again. The elevator consultant report was sent to TKE late June and so far there has been no response from TKE concerning the consultants’ findings. The elevator consultant recommends strongly that we continue with TKE and force them to do the repairs needed and that should have been done all along. Dennis Rosenfeld will reach out to the elevator consultant and advise there has been no response from the elevator company.

New Business

Insurance Renewal

Sharon Dowling reported the insurance agent has advised Citizens expects a 35% increase in rates, but that other carriers are returning, and rates appear to be lowering. The agent will research the best rates possible for renewal.

Pool Bathroom Door Replacement

Sharon Dowling reported one bid had been received to date at $2500 for a new fiberglass frame and door installation and it was considered high. Management will request a bid from L&J Maintenance as well.

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 threshold to a majority rule threshold 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. This vote will require 75% of the members in order to pass. By proper motion by Peter Tedone, seconded by Sharon Dowling it was approved to proceed with the membership vote providing the required notice to the unit owners and the limited proxy for the vote.

New and Updated Quotes for Bringing Water to Catwalks

Sharon Dowling reported new and updated quotes would be requested soon for board review and consideration, hopefully in time for the October/November meeting.

Open Forum

Sharon Dowling was asked to investigate the possibility of bringing water up to the roof with the vendors when requesting the bids for water on the catwalks.

Adjournment

There being no further business to be brought before the Board, by proper motion by Joe Dembek, seconded by Marc Larochelle the meeting was adjourned at 5:30PM.
