2010 Budget Meeting for October 7, 2009

Updated 10/14 Item 2

October 7, 2009


The meeting was called to order at 6:10pm. Those in attendance were Jimmy Baes, James Quinlan, Richard Yousoufian, Gil Ellis, Robert Vitrano, Lisa Boccard, and Lois de Oliveira


Administrative Report
1. Line Items discussed at the meeting were the waterproofing and fees for contacting Empire. Waterproofing will be paid half this year and half out of the 2010 budget, and we are still pending a written contract with Empire Electric to avoid incurring charges for emergency calls. Richard Yousoufian in unit 16 or Robert Vitrano in unit 7 are who should be contacting Empire should an emergency arise.
2. As of October 1st the rent for garage #8 is being paid directly to the condo association as
we have not received maintenance for it and unit 11 since last December. The foreclosure should be resolved within the next six months.
3. We are unable to get a better price for the propane to heat water. Solar water would be a feasible idea but we feel it is not in the budget for this year.
4. Item Cut: We won’t have a website anymore because it is going to be cut.
5. The Association needs to be able to enter any unit in case of emergencies. Make sure we have a copy of your key.
6. The budget will be ready by the next board meeting be prepared to discuss any issues you may have.
