(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
