Maintenance Minutes: December 9, 2024

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

Agenda:

    Importance of Maintenance Committee
      • Extend lifespan of WaCoHo property: furnaces, washers, dryers, building exterior, etcetc.
        • maintenance is generally cheaper than replacement
        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.hazard
        WaCoHo Maintenance Tracker Show and Tell :Tell: HERE
          Important to document what was done & when.  Stephen volunteered to take on updating the tracker. A lot of maintenance has been poorly tracked, but we're trying to do better.

                • Requests entered here populate a tab on the Maintenance Tracker Spreadsheet
            What is the maintenance history of our buildings?  Do we have good records? 

            (Answer: No, but we're working on it)

            Do we have documented recent work done that's currently under warranty? 

            (Answer: Also no.  And I'll try to address that soon.)

            What are the known maintenance/repair issues needing to be resolved?
