Board Minutes for July 26, 2011

The meeting was called to order at 6:50pm. Those in attendance were Gil Ellis, Jeff Powell, Debbie Madsen, Robert Vitrano, Kathy Moore, George Romanik, and Lois de Oliveira.

Review and approved the April 19th meeting minutes.

Administrative Report

1. Now that the foreclosed units have been taken over by the bank we have been able to collect $2802.50 for back payments and maintenance from July and August. Gil will contact Mr. Frischer about collecting any more back monies.
2. Jeff Powel personally walked American Septic and Plumbing through the estimate process to repair the drain field. He got a very good price with a pump out contract of $300 and a 12 month guarantee on the system. There were some related charges associated with the work besides an additional pump out fee of $650 and $150.00 in manual labor associated with digging the drain field and a charge for new sod over the partial drain field.
3. The leak on the flat roof above unit 8 was repaired for $450. Putting the elastomeric on hold at this time needs to be reconsidered Gil will check with FPL.
4. There was a pretty large leak on the 4th floor again that was repaired for a $1000. Replacing the roof has to be considered as a future option.

Committee Reports

1. Reviewed last estimate from Jeff for hallway painting, downspouts, and crack repair. We owe him for scraping and painting and other miscellaneous work from 05/27/2011 for $1750 and we would like him to paint the entire wall next to the laundry.
2. The hydrostop, waterproofing, and painting have been done on 2 sides and the corbel molding has been fixed so far. This is a big project that is being done to prevent water penetration only.
3. There are 2 areas that have been designated to have additional lighting, one on the Grand Concourse side and one on the garden side. The kind of lighting will still need to be decided.
4. Reviewing of the condo by laws is postponed until later.
5. Reasonable expectations of repairs this year: waterproof and painting of the turret and the tallest part of the building,
6. There are storage areas on the ground floor and the question has come up about renting these. Robert and Jeff will check it out.
