ASSOCIATION |
|
January 31, 2001 The Annual Meeting of the Woronzof Towers Homeowner’s Association was called to order by President Martha Shields at approximately 7:10PM. Mike Courtney provided Proof of Notice of the Meeting and a Quorum of 61.6% of owners was established, in person and by proxy. Ed Enders then read the President’s report for Martha Shields. Martha announced she was resigning from the Board after a long term, as well as Ed Enders. Martha asked for any unfinished business: Ron Cooper stated that the Stucco-Flex contractors needed to come back in the spring and finish cleaning up the asphalt. Ed mentioned that the Board planned to seal-coat the asphalt in the spring, which should cover any remaining blemishes. Ed also cautioned to be wary of contractors that wanted a large amount of money up front, as they may not be completely solvent. He felt we were lucky to get the tower job done successfully, as the contractor is now out of business. Lillian Lack informed the Board that the tower contractor ruined the paint job on her car. Ed said he had discussed it with the contractor already. New Business: Mike Courtney was asked to discuss delinquent assessments. He reported that Kathleen Moore was deep in arrears and had recently filed for bankruptcy. Bonnie Carroll has made minimal payments on her assessments also. The rest of the owners with outstanding balances were making regular payments and were not a concern for the Board. Gloria Kron motioned levying a 2% interest charge on all delinquent assessments. Mike Zimmerman seconded the motion. James Call asked what effective date the interest assessment should be implemented. Gloria amended her motion to reflect a January 1st implementation date. The motion passed unanimously. Cable Television: Mike Courtney gave a brief overview of the bulk cable television contract and reported that the Association subsidized the contract in the approximate amount of $2,000.00 last year. The contract does not terminate until November 15, 2001. Mike Zimmerman motioned to close our account effective November 15, 2001 or as soon as possible. Gloria Kron seconded the motion. It passed unanimously. Mike Courtney agreed to check on how soon the contract could be canceled. Mike Zimmerman asked if decision had been made on sealing his leaky windows. Ed Enders stated that he had discussed caulking them with the window-washing contractor. He felt they should be able to do the caulking this summer. Martha asked Ed if he had obtained an estimate. He indicated he had not as yet. Mike Courtney asked the owners present if they had similar problems, or if the matter was isolated to Mike Zimmerman’s unit. No other owners seemed to be experiencing problems. Ed Enders suggested just doing the caulking on Mr. Zimmerman’s windows, and there was no dissent in the room. There was some discussion on who should perform the work, and most felt that the window washer could probably perform the job. There was also brief discussion on the towing procedures for the front commercial areas. Most Association members have been informed to leave a sign in their car window stating they are a resident at the complex. James Call suggested forming some type of welcoming committee so that new members to the Association could be informed of these type of procedures and other house rules. Ed Enders suggested installing large flower pots in the front of the lobby. There was some general discussion as to how long they might last before being stolen and methods to prevent theft. Ed Enders also mentioned that the water spigot on that side of the building needed maintenance. Most owners seemed to like the idea of heavy concrete flower pots to help beautify the front entrance. Gloria Kron asked if the snow pile could be hauled away, as she felt it was interfering with parking. There was no resolution on this request. Martha then opened the floor for nominations to the Board of Directors. She mentioned again that she nor Ed would be running this year. Martha Shields nominated Kris Conquergood and Gloria Kron. Gloria Kron, Tom Alexander, and Joe Fischer were also nominated and seconded. *
The vote was unanimous. James Call asked if someone could check the sprinkler head in the trash chute on the seventh floor. He felt it needed some type of cover for protection. Another Association member asked if a cover could be placed over the thermostat in the lobby, it appeared that unknown persons were turning it up too high. James Call suggested setting a date for the next Board meeting so officers could be elected. A date was set for February 7, 2001 at 7:00PM. Mike Zimmerman motioned for adjournment. Tom Alexander seconded. The meeting was adjourned at approximately 8:30PM. |
