CALL TO ORDER

President Ben Givens called the meeting to order at 9:00 a.m. Board members present were Bob Burwell, Ben Givens and Lars Warn.

MINUTES

Minutes of the February 28, 2002, meeting were approved as presented.

FINANCIAL REPORT

Secretary/Treasurer Bob Burwell reviewed the February 28, 2002, Financial Report. The Operating Account had a balance of $35,920.62 and the Reserve Account had a balance of $137,899.66. The first two months had total expenses of $46,189.38 compared to budget of $56,936. Most of the variance had to do with when the insurance premiums are paid. The report showed $2,321.72 in delinquent monthly maintenance fees, but Rampart has a new accounting system and Burwell said he could not reconcile to that figure. He will contact Rampart for an explanation. Prepaid maintenance fees were $15,939.95.

MANAGEMENT REPORT

Kay Strehle was unable to attend the Board meeting. Her Management report dated March 25, 2002, was reviewed.

CORRESPONDENCE

The following notes were from the Suggestion Boxes:

Tony Marino #804 – Inquired about the status of the air conditioner noise and vibration and when padding would be placed under the compressors on the upper floors. The bank of five compressors on all floors have had the pads installed under them. Sound Construction is working with the air conditioner contractor to develop a proposal for trial on one floor. The Board has given up on the sound engineer because he will not return their many phone calls. Dan Gleichowski suggested the Board contact an engineering school at a university for a solution.

Cliff Snedeker #400 – Requested that the dirt and mildew below the second floor drains on the north wall be cleaned. Dan will be instructed to clean those areas.

A letter from Ron and Sue Craig #207 dated March 24, 2002, requesting that something be done about the “More” cigarette butts that are tossed over the balcony above their unit. Kay Strehle will be instructed to write a letter to all unit owners in #307 up to #1007.

SALE AND LEASE APPROVALS

The following applications for sale were approved:
Unit #900 – Thomas C. and Linda L. Adams

COMMITTEE REPORTS

Covenants Committee: The committee explained that there were several varieties of “Rules & Regulations” depending when owners moved into Sunwatch. The committee compiled all the varieties into one document and dropped redundant rules. The revised Rules and Regulations had previously been sent to all Board members for study and review. Secretary/Treasurer Bob Burwell stated that nowhere in the minutes had any Rules and Regulations been adopted by the Board.

It was moved and seconded to adopt the Rules and Regulations presented by the Covenants Committee. Motion carried.

It was moved and seconded to add to the Rules and Regulations Car Wash hours from 9 A.M. to 5 P. M. Motion carried.

It was moved and seconded to add to the Rules and Regulations that no expenditures may be made on behalf of the Association without approval of a member of the Board of Directors. Motion carried.

It was moved and seconded to add to the Rules and Regulations that no “In-Kind” gifts or donations can be given to the Association without approval of a member of the Board of Directors. Motion carried.


Kay Strehle will be instructed to mail the revised Rules and Regulations to all owners.

Emergency Committee: Tim Wukie suggested that the owners should flush their water heaters to prevent rust damage and leaks. A notice will be placed on the bulletin boards and the next newsletter. Carlos Dixon suggested that the fire alarm next to the front door of the 670 building be moved four or five inches in order to prevent it being hit by mail delivery persons. Kay Strehle will be instructed to have the fire alarm moved if possible.

Lightning Committee: This new committee was formed to investigate the various types of lightning protection for the building. Joe Giacomini was named Chairman and Harry Hawkey, Ed Mueskes and Tim Wukie were appointed to the committee.

OLD BUSINESS

Letters were mailed to all owners concerning the repainting of the outside doors. Fifty-three (53) owners requested repainting. Kay Strehle will be instructed to contact the painting contractor.

The reserve study from GAB Robins has been received and is being reviewed by the Board members.

NEW BUSINESS

It was moved and seconded to authorize Ben Givens, as President, to vote for the Island Estates Neighborhood Conservation Overlay District on behalf of the Association. Motion carried.

A loss control survey was performed for our insurance carrier. They recommended that a minimum of one life ring and one shepherd's crook per pool be installed and maintained in a visible and accessible location at all times. Kay Strehle will be instructed to follow up on this request. They also recommended that the propane tank at the bar-b-q grill be stored in a covered or secure area. It was noted that the fire inspector made us move the tank out from under the gazebo. The Board will instruct Dan to discard the propane grill since we have two newer natural gas grills.

Dan Gleichowski requested that we request Island Walk Condominium Association do something about their lawn sprinklers spraying our automobiles parked along our north wall. Kay Strehle had discussed this matter with their property manager some months ago and was informed that the sprinkler heads were turned down as low as they could go. It was suggested that they install a different type of sprinkler head. Kay Strehle will be instructed to follow up on this problem.

NEXT MEETING

The next meeting is scheduled for Monday, April 22, 2002 at 9:00 a.m.

ADJOURNMENT

There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned.

Robert A. Burwell, Secretary/Treasurer
