Board Minutes for July 21, 2009

MINUTES FOR MONTHLY MEETING OF BOARD OF DIRECTORS
July 21, 2009


The meeting was called to order at 6:15pm. Those in attendance were Jimmy Baes, James Quinlan, Richard Yousoufian, Lisa Boccard, Robert Vitrano, Jeff Powel, Kathy Moore, and
Lois de Oliveira.

The Minutes for May 19 were approved as written. No meeting was held in June.

Administrative Reports
The new Fire Alarm Contract that has been put in place with Empire Electric will include an annual fire inspection as required by Miami-Dade County, smoke detectors will be maintained, exit signs will be lit 24/7, and the Alarm will be monitored by a call center.
A steel jam door was approved to be installed on the fourth floor to separate the two stairwells as a fire precaution. Rewiring of the alarm system was done due to the water intrusion in that area. That should keep the alarm from going off at random.
The septic tank was pumped out in June.

Committee Reports
The tile on the (first floor) interior entry of the south wing (the entry with the door) has been postponed until a later time.
Waterproofing and painting is continuing on the outside of the building. Remember in your own unit everyone is responsible for the interior wall plumbing.
Gil will get an estimate from Amerigas, Teco Gas, and FPL to have them connect us to a natural gas line or to get a better price for bottled gas, and a backup offer from Miami Water Heater for the cost of a tank installed.
Jimmy will check if we can get a line of credit from Bank of America.

Ongoing Business
1. Jeff Powell will submit a proposal to seal the north side flat roof.
2. A lien has been filed for back maintenance on unit 11. There has been some interest in the unit through the bank.
3. Please make sure a prospective tenant adheres to a credit check.
4. Adding greenery in front of the building will be budgeted for next year.
