SUNWATCH ON ISLAND ESTATES
CONDOMINIUM ASSOCIATION, INC.
Board of Director's Meeting
July 21, 2004

CALL TO ORDER

President Lars Warn called the meeting to order at 4 PM. Board members present were Cliff Snedeker, Susie Thatcher, Lars Warn and Terry Werner. Bob Burwell was absent.

MINUTES

Minutes of the June 24, 2004 meeting were in need of a few corrections. Those will be made and the minutes will be presented again at the next board meeting.

It was discussed that the minutes should show who made a motion and who seconded and how each board member voted. Also, the minutes should indicate who is absent from the meeting.

FINANCIAL REPORT

It was reported that we have $299,000 in reserves. Bob Burwell has indicated that we are not putting enough money in the reserves. We will discuss further when preparing next year's budget. There are no delinquencies in monthly maintenance fees.

MANAGEMENT REPORT

Jill Ellis from Resource Property Management reviewed her report dated July 19, 2004.

Sunwatch has received a one-year warranty on the work done by T. Mickey McGee Electric when the lines were cut while doing work on the French Drain. Cliff Snedeker said it is not valid because it is not signed by an officer.

Harry Hawkey will supply information to the board regarding the EFCO windows. Jill Ellis is still waiting to hear from a product distributor to supply weather stripping for the windows.

Terry Werner is checking to see if it is possible to repair the west garage door at a price less than $1,150.00, which was proposed by American Rollup Door.

Jill Ellis reported that she uses Sunwatch as an example when indicating how condo landscaping can look. Congratulations to our landscaping committee!

CORRESPONDENCE

George and Betsy Powers - Unit # 701 - asked about the lighting in front of the building (facing Island Way). It was explained there is a short in the wiring so Jill Ellis will have someone check into that situation.

John VanWingerden - Unit # 1004 - asked about having a deodorizer in the elevators or at least possibly having Dan spray something in the elevators before he leaves in the afternoon. That was done before and was discontinued.

Sam Rosengarten - Unit # 401 - insists that Mr. George Ladas has given him permission to use his inside parking space, but there has been no written verification received. The board requested that Mr. Rosengarten ask Mr. Ladas to send a letter to the board.

COMMITTEE REPORTS

No reports. Everything seems to be running smoothly.

SALE AND LEASE APPROVALS

The following sale was approved:
Unit # 510 - Judith Warner and Shirley Ahrens
Closing date to be August 31, 2004

NEW BUSINESS

Since the furniture was stolen out of the 680 Lobby on July 5, Lars Warn asked if there could be a committee of 680 residents to look into purchasing some new items. Vince Vincent volunteered Sherry Vincent to get a committee together. Sheron Nichols had reported the stolen furniture had a value of approximately $1200.00, so that figure will be used as a starting point for replacement.

There seems to be a problem with people using the pools and hot tub during the late hours. It was suggested that the pool lights remain on for an extended period. The pools are not to be used after 10 PM.

OLD BUSINESS

Lars Warn asked that we look again at redoing the pools and the pool deck. The board had received bids in December of 2003 and discussed and approved the project at the January 2004 board meeting. A work committee will be formed to look at some of the completed work by the vendors and make a recommendation for continuing this project.

Some work was done on the 2nd floor corridors and Cliff Snedeker presented a proposal to complete work on that floor as well as over the garages. The bid was $26,890.00. It was decided that Jill Ellis would have an engineer come out and see if that work needs to be done and if so, should it be immediately or could we wait for a period of time. She will get back to the board when an appointment is set.

There was discussion of purchasing new grills, but it has been decided to repair the existing grills. New burners have been ordered and Jill Ellis suggested checking the connections when the repairs are made.

Island Walk Condominium has requested we do some repair work on the tennis nets. They pay a fee to use our courts and would like to have them maintained. Jill Ellis will have someone come and see what is needed. We will also see that the landscapers are able to get into the courts to blow the grass.

The new treadmill has arrived. Jeff Garfield has put up a survey sheet in the exercise room to see what people like about the equipment and any suggestions on other types of equipment. An elliptical machine was suggested, but the cost would be somewhere around $2700-$2800. That idea is tabled for now.

The pool table has been recovered and leveled at a cost of $350. The estimate was $450. Jeff has requested we buy new balls and a new cover for the table. Terry Werner made a motion and Cliff Snedeker seconded that no more than $200 be allowed for those items. The motion carried.

There was one bid received for the refrigerator in the amount of $150. Cliff Snedeker made a motion to accept the bid and Terry Werner seconded and the motion carried. The buyer wants to plug the refrigerator in and make sure it works before accepting it.

The date of Saturday, September 11, 2004 has been selected as "clean the storage room day". There are lots of items that need to be cleared out of the room.

NEXT MEETING

The next meeting is scheduled for 4 PM, Thursday, September 23, 2004.

ADJOURNMENT

There being no further business, there was a motion for adjournment by Susie Thatcher, seconded by Cliff Snedeker. The motion carried.

Susie Thatcher for Robert A. Burwell, Secretary/Treasurer
