            Kerry Farmer presented proof  of notification of meeting by SCS.

 

IV.  Approval of Minutes

By motion, the minutes for the Annual Meeting of March 13, 2007 were approved.

            By motion, the minutes of the Board meeting of January 8, 2008 were approved.

 

V.   Reports of Officers and Board of Directors

           

            Treasurer

Warren Miller reported the year end income of $335,011.00.  Warren reported that the condominiums financial status is positive.  Some costs have been better than predicted; namely, electricity use decreased by over $8,000.00, legal fees were less than budgeted, snow removal was not needed due to lack of snow.  Sprinklers were purchased and installed in the rear of  l3891 to maintain trees and shrubs.

 

Warren estimates that the efforts on behalf of the condo residents by George Field and Ed Plummer have saved the association approximately $10,000.00 based on current contractor rates. 

 

Warren reported that investigation of the discrepancy in water usage between the two condo buildings will result in considerably higher water costs.  It was determined that an error in the meter routing was not accounting for actual usage.  He also noted that the current economy is yielding lower interest rates which has negatively affected our income.

 

 

            President

Ed Plummer reported the successful completion of the interior painting of the hallways in both buildings.  Residents are to be commended for the extensive prep work and replacement of fixtures and paintings.  The next phase is painting of the individual unit red doors which will begin next week.  Arrangements are made to accommodate residents in gaining full access to the doors and proper  drying time.

 

Ed also notes that recycling is going well, residents are making good use of the facility.  He is monitoring whether the arrangement is adequate.

 

VI.  Management Report

            Kerry Farmer reported the elevator certificate frame has been installed.

Kerry suggests that the Association consider a presentation by the Fire Department on safety procedures and evacuation of the buildings.  A recent false alarm caused by  plumbing work revealed people used elevators to evacuate and raised the question of specific plans to evacuate physically limited residents.

Kerry stated that our Condo Association has a very high degree of participation among its officers and committees and commends all who participate.  The Board and others commended Kerry on her cooperation and attention to our needs.

 

VII.  Committee Reports
