Maintenance Minutes: December

Attendees: Cheryl, Mike, Michael, Stephen, Alex, Ben, Kellie

Agenda:

1. Importance of Maintenance Committee
   • Extend lifespan of WaCoHo property: furnaces, washers, dryers, building exterior, etc
   • Prevent (eliminate?) insurance claims.
     • Insurance is for accidents & expected things. Maintenance shows we're being responsible and working to minimize opportunity for accidents. Need pathways to be safe, trees to be taken care of. Insurers are not kind benefactors. 
   • Keep HOA fees down
     • Insurance claims count against us, cause increased rates. Get enough claims and we become uninsurable. 
   • Safety
     • Prior play structure was an insurance liability specifically brought up by our insurance agent.
     • Pavers and walkway have sunk over time, revealing the metal strip that is a tripping hazard.
