MEETING OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
September 26 2006
(Approved by Board 10/25/06 with correction)

Mr. Richard Loarie, President called to order a duly constituted meeting of the Plaza East Board of Directors on
Tuesday, September 26, 2006 at 7:35 p.m. in the Recreation Room.
Present were: Ismet Baker, Rafick Henein, Richard Loarie, Terry Marcum, Charles Packard, Allen Pell DiAnne
Shumard, Tim Smith, Alex Soufrine and John Toklucu. Also present Mike Morgan, Manager and Helene
Pasternak, Secretary. A quorum was established.
Absent: James Brady

APPROVAL OF MINUTES
Ismet Baker made a motion, seconded by DiAnne Shumard to approve the minutes of the August 30, 2006 Board Meeting. All approved.

TREASURER’S REPORT
John Toklucu gave the report. The complete report is attached. A motion was made by Richard Loarie, seconded by Terry Marcum to approve the transfer of $500.00 from Reserves to the Operating Fund for Howard Miller, PE. All voted aye.

PRESIDENT’S REPORT
At the Galt Mile Association meeting, Stephen Higgins reported that the beach replenishment will be done in 2007-8. The outflow air conditioning pipe that goes to the ocean will no longer be able to be used. We will need to hire an engineer to advise the best place for an air conditioner tower. We do not have the option of extending the pipe that now exists out further. Permits are no longer being issued. The tower should make it cooler and should lower electric bills. The next Galt Association meeting will be at the Fountainhead on October 9th to discuss hurricane damage in insurance. Please check out their website at www.galtmile.com We have added cameras to improve security. There are now alarms at the doors and cameras at the beach. The cameras have been changed to color as they provide better resolution. The night shift (3rd shift) is doing rounds and working well. The President suggested the Association take over the responsibility and function of the Plaza East website (www.plazaeast.info). John Toklucu had originally set it up and paid for it. We will be changing the light bulbs in the new elevators. Also inside doors of the elevators will be changed to brush chrome. Since Hurricane insurance will probably increase, the President with agreement from the accountant would be to use the $75,000.00 in the insurance asset account to offset the 2007 insurance assessment. Insurance will come out of the budget and be an assessment instead. We need volunteers for the Owners Meeting being held Thursday morning, September 28. Nessa Rich, Ira Seltzer, Chris Graves, Alex Soufrine. Thanks for volunteering. Helene Pasternak would like to use the Plaza East Recreation Room for elections on November 7, 2006. Questions arose about liability insurance. (Note: We spoke with the Supervisor of Elections, and Broward County covers liability).
Motion by Richard Loarie, seconded by Terry Martin to use the $75,000 in the insurance asset account towards 2007 Hurricane Insurance premiums will be assessed next year. Insurance will no longer be in the budget. All voted aye.

Rafick Henein made a motion, seconded by Richard Loarie for Plaza East Association to take over the function of PlazaEast.info website. This will be an information only web site. The cost will be $125.00 per month. All vote aye.

Richard Loarie made a motion, seconded by Terry Marcum to hire DeRose Design Consultant to start a feasibility
study to look into an air conditioner tower to replace the outflow pipes. The initial study cost not to exceed $8,000.00. All vote aye.

Richard Loarie made a motion seconded by Alex Soufrine to use Plaza East as Precinct 6R for national elections on November 7, 2006. Rafick Henein, Terry Marcum, Allen Pell and John Toklucu voted no. Ismet Baker, Richard Loarie, DiAnne Shumard, Tim Smith and Alex Soufrine voted aye. The motion passed.

MANAGER’S REPORT
The fire inspection on September 7th went well. All violations were minor and we are now in the process of correcting them. The most serious is that some cat-walk doors do not close and latch. The air conditioning in Lobby 2 has been replaced. James Cohen has replaced Hymie Perez as maintenance supervisor. Mr. Perez has resigned. RTI will be finishing the concrete work on Tower P in the next two weeks and will move to the A tower to address the leaking kitchen walls. New Parking stickers will be issued to better control garage parking. Elevator E/F was put into service yesterday, and G/H and N/P were back operating as of today. The fire alarm system must be installed and working within the next 30 days for the elevators.
The complete Manager’s Report is attached.

NEW BUSINESS
