Year in Review was reported by Sharon Dowling.

Electrical

• Blue Water Electric onsite throughout the year for exit sign issues, stairway lights, sensor issues, etc.

• Natural GreenScapes planted new bushes around the new generator in March and a few died in the fall and had to be replaced.

Open Discussion

Discussion was held concerning the paint project and starting date. Everything is to be removed from the trash room, and bikes from the storage room. There is to be nothing stored or placed on the catwalk areas and all screens are to be removed from windows. If screens are left on and damaged during the painting project the Contractor and the Association will not be held liable.

Peter is removing the old rusty water hose reels and will replace them with plastic racks up front and at the car wash. We are looking at lighting again, as the fixtures were not installed correctly and are deteriorating. The number plates are in for the unit doors (black and white plaques) Temporary laminated numbers will be placed on the doors during the painting. The paint is Sherwin Williams brand with a 10 year warranty.

The elevator cab is due for replacement and pooled reserves may be used for this perhaps in the summer.

Adjournment

Hearing no objection, the meeting was adjourned at 2:55 PM.
