Reports
Construction Committee Chair Report
Work has begun on the building

The construction workers will start putting notices on doors as to when they will need access to the units. Jeremy to follow up on including the options for how access will be granted to the workers.
Treasurer Report
Moving forward, Alin will send the reports ahead of time for the board to review and then in the meeting draw attention to the specific points that he wants addressed.
The updated financials from July look okay and Alin is ready to approve. There were some wrongfully coded items and miscredited (but then debited) items. Those have been rectified.
Scott to include all categories of financials on his next report.
In September, we have more more to collect than August, presumably because of SA fees.
Jeremy moved to accept July, August, and September financials, Mike seconded. The motion passes unanimously.
Community Association Manager Report
S105 water leak:Scott would like to approve the next step for reparation of the unit affected by the water leak.The association is responsible for the repairs but the owner is responsible for the contents of the unit, including the tenet. Scott recommends we remove forward with the repairs.
The replacement valves suggested by the contractor may prevent a rupture in the future but the valves were not the cause of the current situation.
The total amount for the repairs is $8560 to deal with the water mitigation and water damage
Owner suggested that we talk to all units above the affected unit to make sure that all are aware of the problems with putting cooking oil and bags down the drain.
Sarah asks that Scott gets more than one bid, as a practice, for nonemergency situations to ensure the board respects the HOA.
Sarah motions that we move forward with Scott’s proposal without the additional valve replacement, Mike seconded. The motion passes unanimously.
S201 water leak: There was a toilet overflow which leaked into the unit below. After providing the necessary information to S201 and communicating the HOA declarations, there has been no communication from the owner of S201. The owner of S201 is required to cover the damages in the lower unit but, if they do not respond, the HOA will need to pay for the damages and then charge the owner directly. This then becomes leanable.
Mike motions that Scott to reach out to the owner to communicate that the association must hear from the insured or the HOA will take the necessary steps of doing the repairs and then charging the owner’s account directly. If the owner still does not reach out, Scott has approval to continue with the next steps, Alin seconded. The motion passes unanimously.
Temporary Building Manager Report
She has been actively walking the perimeter and keeping the property clean, including snaking the drains and moving the garbage cans.
There have been incidents of human refuse on the roof and door jams that indicate that non-residents have possibly been using the roof. The back fence is not secure and this could be contributing to the issue as well.

S105 Water leak: Scott moved to approve the first stage of the work for the water leak in unit S105 – which is to pull the cabinets; and begin the water mitigation. The cabinets have sustained some damage and it can be minimized if we start this action asap. The price estimate is is $2,000 - $3,500. Sarah seconded; the motion passed unanimously.
S102 Water leak: Scott moved that he work with the owner of S102 to oversee repairs to the unit due to a water leak from an overflowing toilet and assure that the proper work is done using the Phillips contractor.Sarah seconded; the motion passed unanimously.
