(Mr. Packard left the meeting at 9:00 p.m.)

Rafick Henein requested that he would like the Manager’s Report to reflect outstanding projects we have ongoing.

Leonard Troutman (6C) suggested we hire professionals to do our holiday lights outside. He said that by the end of the year, the lights were not working and looked terrible. Mr. Smith says our budget confines us, however suggested we set up a committee to do research on prices and see if we can find a way to raise the money. He asked Mr. Troutman if he would like to chair the committee.

Ismet Baker (15A) asked if we could re-look at the extra storage space room we wanted to install. This would be a way to raise some extra income. Mr. Brady said he believed we could do it, and would look into it and advise.

We will be having a meeting with the structural engineer to do the structural work needed so we can hang the shutters in the common areas. He has to advise us what we need to do to implement the design we have.

Mr. Galczak asked where the shutters were and could we control them. Mr. Smith said they were in Terry’s warehouse but was not a bonded warehouse. The Manager will check to see the cost of a bonded warehouse with Terry or else find a safe area in our building to house the shutters.

SCREENING COMMITTEE
Jerry Marcial gave the screening report for this month.
Apartment PH-J, a 2 bedroom, was purchased by Loza Sicka unfurnished for $485,000.
James Brady made a motion, seconded by Tim Smith to approve the screening report. All voted aye.


KEY FOB COMMITTEE
Alex Soufrine advised that the committee met last week. They have gotten prices from EST for a Key Fob Entry System. They will continue to get other prices. Ismet Baker and George Gazzana have been working on hours of operation of lobby security, and John Toklucu has helped with the tech aspect of the work. The committee would like a couple months before putting this up for a vote to advise the owners how the system would work and meet with owners to answer questions.
There will be enormous benefits in savings as well as in access to the building. We believe we can save $120,000.00 a year in payroll.


NEW BUSINESS
DiAnne Shumard brought up the idea of sending a newsletter to owners along with a copy of the minutes so they can be better informed as to what is really happening in the building. DiAnne said she was tired of hearing the misinformation that gets discussed at the pool! Mr. Smith said we would discuss further at next month’s meeting.

James Brady wanted to thank Richard Loarie for his hard work and strong leadership as President of the Board this past year. Since Mr. Loarie did not attend the meeting, Mr. Brady made a motion, seconded by Allen Pell to send a letter of appreciation to Richard Loarie for a job very well done. All voted aye, except for Donald Galczak voting nay.

Richard Madey made a suggestion to change the voting procedure in the By-Laws. Mr. Smith asked that we put this on next month’s agenda so we could give notice to the membership.

Helene Pasternak advised that one of our Rules on Guests had inadvertently left out one aspect of the rule. Mr. Smith asked that we put this on next month’s agenda so we could give notice to the membership.

A motion was made at 9:55 p.m. to adjourn the meeting. All voted aye.

Respectfully submitted,


Helene Pasternak
Recording Secretary
