Administrative Report
1. The budget was reviewed and approved by the board. The ballots will be mailed out by Monday after the meeting so we can get them back for the October 19th meeting. Anyone behind on their maintenance cannot vote in an election nor run.
2. Jeffrey Powell has offered to run as a board member. As he has done a number of maintenance repairs on the building, if elected any job over $500 we will take bids.
3. The board agreed to review the bylaws, rules and regulations, and the Welcome packet for new tenants early in 2011.
4. Richard has resigned from the board as of this evening. We still have 4 board members.

Committee Report

1. Elastomeric roof sealant on flat roof and insulation – estimate/rebate – Gil
2. Regarding the payment to Dominique for water damage; we are waiting for a breakdown for the wall damage and paint from the unit owner.
3. Mr. Golden did not sign off on the case of Unit 11 so our lawyer could not file a motion to expedite a solution. If the unit can be rented we do not need to file a motion at this time.
4. Richard contacted the owner of unit 11 to get permission for the association to rent out the unit. Now if we get something in writing from his lawyer we could rent the unit to make back some of the maintenance that is owed the association. The cost to get that unit rentable is $980.00 for repairs around the windows and painting.
5. Debbie is checking on the service fee that was billed to the association since we have a contract with Empire.
6. Increase of washer/dryer fee – to change out the coin slots is $55.00 per machine.
7. Richard to purchase 6 new chairs.
