TREASURERS
REPORT
Liz
reported for Karen that a CD matured
Unit 2526-E, Owner has stated that she is very
upset about the Board decision to deny the reimbursement for towing. She further commented that the change in the
parking was not well implemented and that there is no signage telling visitors
that they must park in the designated visitor parking spots. Management replied that parking is marked by
the various colors and by permit only.
The board felt there was sufficient notification regarding parking and
that it was up to the unit owner to convey to her visitors where to park. The board further stated that it would be a
financial burden to reimburse everyone that has been towed. To reimburse one owner would set precedence
for everyone. The Board further
recommended that the unit owner attend the April 27, 2005 Board Meeting to
address the parking issue further.

REPORTS
Buildings and Grounds
Committee- Marilyn
Jones gave the building and grounds report for the month. It was noted that all maintenance work that
was identified previously is now completed as well as work that was expended in
the fall has been completed. It was also
noted that the expense of rejuvenational pruning has is pending for a decision
later in the meeting. CLS is to go
through the property and identify the shrubbery that is in need of
pruning. Residents will be told that the
drastic look of the shrubs is to be expected and that they will be unattractive
for the next several weeks, but they will grow in. The pruning is not cosmetic but is to prolong
the life of the shrubs.

UNFINISHED
BUSINESS
Reimbursement
Request, 2510-A
Parking ticket – The Board stated that it is sees no reason to reimburse the
owner for a parking ticket incurred by the owner’s visitor parking on a city
street that is clearly marked with the time allotted for public parking. Street parking ends at 7:00 AM and the ticket
was written for 7:20 AM. The resident
stated that if the Board could help rectify the current parking deficiency, in
good faith, she would drop the issue.
She is trying to demonstrate her frustration at the lack of
parking. She was told by the Board that
the city is looking into expanding it’s residential permit parking and is
holding 3 more public meetings to go over the possibility of expanding that
into street parking and trying to figure out a compromise.
Noelle
moved to deny the request for reimbursement for the ticket in the amount of
$40.00, Dan seconded; approved.

MANAGERS UPDATE
Liz gave the monthly update and noted that State Farm had stated that a multi-year policy is not available to the Association, and that the insurance company must review the loss history every year as well as the financial records to determine the coverage needed.
In
answer to a question about a satellite dish located on a roof, the Board
granted a variance a few years ago with no special circumstances noted in the
unit file.
Concrete
will be assessed in April..
Liz
brought to the Board’s attention a phone call she received concerning
parking. The resident is very upset at
the absence of parking available late at night for two consecutive nights. The resident said the board should consider
reverting back to the original parking policies with no assigned parking. It was also noted that the residents were
going to hold a Sunday courtyard meeting to discuss the situation before the
next board of directors meeting.
FINAL
BOARD AND RESIDENT COMMENTS
It
has been noted that in the back corner of 2562-C there is a low spot which
often has standing water after a significant ran. The same situation exists along
the 2504 walkway to the utility area.
Marilyn asked
if all the window-well work has been completed. She was told that all work had
been completed before Liz returned as community manager.
Noelle asked
if any variances had been received about finishing basements. Management responded that not many had been
received. Noelle went on to comment
further that a new code requires that a basement being refinished have five
square feet of egress in case of emergencies. Should a board refuse to allow
the residents to put in the egress, they would be in violation of the new code.
Marilyn stated
that the Board needs some new ideas such as a social committee to address
issues that have not come up before such as
