Maintenance
Gutters. Renae got someone to come do an estimate for window cleaning ($90/house) The guy also can do gutters. $900 quote to do all the upper gutters. Maintenance $4,000 budget, $915 spent to date. Community would pay for those. New gutters and downspouts August 2019 Roof Doctor, but not cleaning. Gutter Toppers put on units in 2003, workshop in 2004. Gutter cleaning Tuesday August 27, 2019, but email doesn't say who did it.
Wait until the leaves fall. $600 for lower gutters; ask for volunteers to do them? Ben found a fall foliage map: late October/early November. Do a work party October 29? Schedule the guy the following week. Ask for volunteer to head up work party; hopefully with a month to schedule we can get someone.
Fridge. The common house fridge is not working. Beth will call someone.
Toilet. Vinnie has tried replacing the innards and can't get it to work. Mary will buy a new toilet.
Camera. Someone cut the cable a couple of inches long on the Nest camera. Mounting it higher may not be effective; they had to have a ladder to reach it where it was. It was nice to know what happened when there was a crime, but it didn't prevent theft, and the police aren't interested. Maxine is offering to provide the cost of a new camera. Coleen will reach out of Maxine.
Washer. Utah Discount Appliance, California Avenue, that sells dent/scratch appliances. Maxine offered to buy a used one, but we're inclined to get a new one. Will she donate part of the cost? Coleen will ask.
Owl Camera. Swivels to face the person speaking. Figure that Zoom meetings are here to stay. Ben will keep an eye out for a sale.
Transfer Fee. Set the fee at $500 at a time when units weren't selling well. Scott will look up comps on what other condos charge. Reinvestment fee is limited by state law to 0.5% of property price. Are there poison pills we could build in to discourage flippers? What is the difference between transfer and reinvestment fees?
Solar Panel. Still trying to figure out specifics of Inflation Reduction Act. What type of nonprofits qualify? (Apparently we are registered as a nonprofit.) Beth was going to check with some of her contacts. If we qualify we can get a battery. If we don't we go with battery-ready.
Prompting Committees for a 2023 Budget. Choose a deadline. Submissions over email? Google form? Coleen will put one together. Require a committee meeting to plan budget, and say how many attended.
