2. Unit 5 has been rented and is occupied.
3. Regarding the sale of unit 7, we received the maintenance check.
4. There was an “Executive Session” that was not added to the April 12th minutes. The question was asked whether anyone had a conflict of interest as far as the buyer, seller, or any board member regarding the recent short sale. There was not found to be any. The addendum was approved regarding the sale of unit 7.

2. We are looking for a lawyer to retain who practices condo law – Gil
3. The plumber has installed a pipe to divert the waste water and sewage around unit 6 to pass along to the septic tank.
