The next item on
the agenda was the President’s report, provided by Jeffrey Hoosin.
Good evening and welcome to the Skybridge Condominium Association’s Open Board Meeting.
Since Management will cover most items tonight during and extensive Management report I will keep my report short. I did want to mention that Eric Wells from Tunnel Vision has joined us tonight in order to answer any questions that may arise from the difficulties we have experienced with the changeover to the new cable system. If there are any questions during the open session, Eric will answer them at that time.
The next item on
the agenda was the management report, provided by Steve Hanna.
1. Cable Update: As most residents are aware, we experienced some issues with regard to the changeover from the old system. To briefly explain what occurred, when Tunnel Vision began the task of reassigning the cable boxes located in the utility room in order to fit more channels on the basic system, they began to notice that the boxes were not holding the signal. In order for a satellite system to work, each channel must have its own cable box and receive its own signal from the satellite. The boxes for some reason were not “catching” this signal.
As of today these boxes have been fixed and the system is running as it should. Again, owners will be able to ask questions during open session when Eric will be able to more fully explain the situation.
2. Amendments to the Declarations: To date we have approximately 45% support for the amendment to stagger the terms of the Board Members and approximately 32% support for the amendment to change the requirements for a quorum. A letter has been generated and will be sent out to those owners who have not yet voted.
3. Audit Update: Chris Nyborg, came to the Management Office Thursday, April 5, 2007 to begin the process of reviewing the financials and invoices. Management expects the draft of the forensic audit completed by mid-June. The 2006 audit will follow.
4. Façade
Inspection: The City of
5. Driveway Canopy Lights: Management has obtained a quote from White Way Sign to repair the faulty ballasts, replace all of the lights and then maintain those lights on a monthly basis. We have had some difficulty scheduling Olympic Sign to come out and view the canopy. As soon as a second quote is obtained, the Board will vote on the contract and the work will be completed.
6. Window Washing: The window washing has begun and they are behind schedule as of today due to weather, however there have been no issues with this project to date.
7. Waste Receptacle Update: I contacted Allied Receptacle to inquire about the container and was informed that the piece which weighs the can down was not shipped. Since that time they have shipped the weight, along with a new set of mounting hardware. I expect these materials shortly and will begin the process of placing it outside as soon as possible.
8. Power Washing of Front Entrance: Maintenance will schedule this work to be performed as soon as the weather warms up and many of the ongoing projects have been completed. I expect this work to be completed in the next 2-3 weeks.
9. Assistant Search: Management has hired a part-time administrative assistant to help with the day-to-day office work. She will begin next Tuesday.
10. Window Screens: Some residents have inquired about window and balcony door screens that have either gone missing and are in need of repair. Currently maintenance has been interviewing several companies to determine who can best suit the needs of this property. This issue with the screens is that they are not a standard size, nor are the units all similar. Companies that have been used in the past have not been able to exactly match the screens. Those residents who have contacted the Management Office have been informed that we are working on the situation as quickly as possible.
Once a company has been chosen, a notice will go out to the residents asking if they are in need of any repairs or replacement screens. This will help to determine the size of the order which may also help in reducing the cost.
11. Units Sold by Developer: Below is an update on how many units the developer has sold from November– April 4, 2007.
November: 9 Units and 10 Parking Spaces
December: 2 Units and 2 Parking Spaces
January: 4 Units and 5 Parking Spaces
February: 2 Units and 2 Parking Spaces
March: 4 Units and 4 Parking Spaces
April: 1 Unit and 1 Parking Space
