Manager's Report
- Delinquencies
Cheng (TBM) reported that there are many units that are delinquent on the payment of their condo fees, 2 have been sent to collections and various others are being sent notices.
Cheng (TBM) to update the board on the status or the upcoming court dates.
See motion #1 above.
- Rolling Maintenance Calendar
- Cheng (TBM) reported that the gutters are scheduled to be cleaned this month. The board advised him to wait on scheduling this until the leaves have fallen off the trees on Corcoran St.
- Next month the fire extinguishers are to be inspected.
- Extermination
The board inquired into the tracking of interior extermination. Previously, we had implemented a system whereby George Worrels provided the exterminator with a unit checklist that he could mark off each unit as it was serviced. Apparently this is still being done, but the checklist is not getting back to Tilton-Bernstein. Also, in the past All-Star Pest Service left a little notice in each unit that would alert them to the fact that the unit had been exterminated. This is no longer being done.
Cheng (TBM) to follow up with George to obtain the checklist and with All-Star to see about getting them to leave the slips.
Treasurer's Report
- Budget
Jeff reviewed the proposed 2006 budget with the Board. Based on the current budget, we are approximately $8000 over budget which would require a 5.5% increase in condo fees. We were able to budget more income from laundry and from our CD's. The utility expense numbers were increased based on the percentages we received from each utility provider.
See motion #2 above.
