Reading of the previous meeting Minutes was dispensed with

Wayne Maffett made a motion to waive the reading of last years meeting minutes. The motion was seconded by Cooper Drangmeister. The motion held and the reading of the minutes was waived.

Management Report

Cheng announced that the Reserve Study was completed with a recommendation that funds be increased by $10,000.

Cheng reviewed several projects completed this past year. Comcast removed all of its cables that were no longer in use. Davis Co. removed the remaining cables/wires remaining from the system replaced by the DC Cablevision/Comcast system. The buildings were rekeyed and new locks were installed in the main entries. AMS, Inc. was contracted to paint the building exteriors (completion before end of year). CMCA Minutes are now being posted on the CMCA website.

The Board is considering changing the HVAC contractor; Cheng is soliciting bids from several vendors. He is also working on an energy-efficient lighting plan.

To expedite collection of association fees, Cheng has been providing a monthly list of delinquent association fee owners to the CMCA attorney. Mr. McGovern monitors the list, contacts delinquent owners, takes any appropriate legal action, and keeps the Board advised of results.

Reports from Officers

Treasurer's Report
Jeff reports there is a Reserve fund of $128,000. Following review of annual expenditures, Jeff recommends a 2008 association fee increase of 3%. Based on recent operational costs, Jeff does not think the increase will be sufficient to cover all 2008 annual expenditures, but not enough to significantly increase our reserve contributions, which the auditor and reserve study recommend.

Election of members to the Board of Directors

There were two vacancies (the positions of Wayne and Salman). Two candidates declared candidacy (Wayne and Salman). By acclamation, the existing office holders were reelected to their positions.

New Business

Matt said the flat roof above his unit continues to leak. He would like the problem fixed. Cooper and Kassie both recounted leak problems in their units. Cheng will have an engineering firm inspect the roofs and provide the Board with a recommendation.

Wayne (Rat Czar) reported on a community meeting last spring to discuss the rat problem in our area. Neighbors have been working in concert to control and eliminate the rats. There is one rat hole near the rear stairwell steps that was recently treated and plugged with concrete.
