PREVIOUS MONTHS MINUTES: The minutes of the November 14th meeting and the Annual Meeting were approved as presented. All in favor.
LAUNDRY PROPOSAL: The last proposal was to decide on the bases to be installed on all new machines. It will reduce our revenue for the next 10 years. It was mentioned that If we make the machines more user friendly, it might increase revenue.
It was asked if we can order the machines, install them with bases on the 6th floor only to start for 2 weeks. Then can we decide on installing bases for the rest of the floors. Don’t install remaining machines until the 2 week trial has passed.
A vote was taken to proceed with American Laundry without bases, not seconded, vote failed.
A vote was taken to proceed with American laundry with bases, all in favor.
Myra to find out if they can install one floor initially with bases and come back to do the rest with the bases if we choose that route. If the answer is no, then we proceed with all 20 machines with bases.
ELEVATOR: The Board agreed with the conclusion of VDA, that we accept their proposal to prepare specifications, send RFPs, supervise the bidding and selection process and the construction process. The Board voted to move forward with VDA. All agreed.
FINANCIAL STATEMENT: No questions on the most recent report.
BUTTERFLY: Myra drafted a notice to distribute to all residents on the use of the new panel out front and notifying residents that we are planning to lock both front and back outside doors during overnight hours. We are locking the outer doors between 12 midnight and 5 AM. We will need an engraved sign posted on the outer doors saying this door is unlocked during normal business hours.
DOOR REPLACEMENT: We received a proposal for the replacement of the inner front door. If there is a cost savings to do both front and rear inner doors, then we may move forward on that. Approve front door, motion passes.
HOLE IN THE GROUND: All work has been done with regard to the concrete and the brackets. We are waiting for the metal grate to be delivered and installed.
BEUDO: No report
The meeting was adjourned.
Respectfully submitted,
