Old Business
Property Project Updates Caleb provided updates on the ongoing property projects:
- EIFS: The EIFS work is complete, pending a final walkthrough.
- Gutters: The gutter subcontractor identified additional damage to Building 200. Caleb will coordinate with the EIFS contractor to have the damage corrected.
- Beam Replacement: Beam replacement began on the day of the meeting and is scheduled to be completed by Thursday. Judy asked whether this would be a good time to relevel the sidewalks. Caleb recommended waiting until the exterior projects are complete before considering this work.
- Rip Rap: The rip rap project is scheduled to begin in mid-October. The permit has been secured, and completion is anticipated by mid-November.
- Fire Alarm System: A quote is being obtained to convert the fire alarm system from its current cellular connection to an internet-based system.
- Signs: The signs will be reattached once the EIFS work is complete. Caleb will coordinate with the EIFS subcontractor to complete this work.
Additional Beam Replacement Apel, the beam replacement contractor, identified another beam that may need replacement. The cost would be $2,989.57 if completed while the crew is already onsite, compared to more than $4,000 if the contractor must return later.
James Eidson made a motion to replace the beam while the crew is onsite. Don Monistere seconded the motion, and the Board approved it.
Neighbor Litigation The judge and attorneys are scheduled to meet at the property to conduct an inspection. A court date will be set following the inspection regarding the ongoing litigation with the neighboring property.
Door Painting Judy expressed interest in having the owners vote on whether the doors should be painted.
Delinquent Accounts Don reported that emails have been sent to delinquent owners. Follow-up emails will be sent to a few additional owners.
