SALE AND LEASE APPROVALSThe following application for lease for one (1) year was approved: Unit #806 John & Brigitte Deegan
The following sales were approved: Joe Giacomini gave a preliminary report for the Lightning Committee. Upon the committee’s recommendation, Teamwork Net, Inc., an electrical engineering consulting firm, was hired by the Board for recommendations. After a review of our mechanical drawings, inspection of the electrical equipment, and checking out our existing grounding systems, they provided estimates for installing surge and lighting protection. The estimates are $11,100 for surge protection and up to $105,282 for lightning protection. The committee wants to continue their investigation before making a final recommendation. Terry Werner submitted another preliminary report dated April 28, 2003, for the Air Conditioner committee. The report again suggests that the Board adopt standards for replacement of condensers and recommends the “scroll” type as they are considerably quieter. The committee is working on bids on placing sound enhancing glass partitions on top of the concrete barrier. They are also researching the feasibility of removing the exterior concrete wall and replacing with aluminum railings. Another suggestion was for the replacement of the condensers. The Board stated that replacement of condensers would be at the owner’s expense because they are not common elements. OLD BUSINESS
