New Business
Richard Dragone stated that we finally own the clubhouse and just waiting for the deed to come in.
Richard Dragone reported that we are having a problem with the signs on the front of the building with the town hall. We anticipated putting up two signs in the front of the building and the town hall rejected us putting up two signs. We are now only putting up one sign and that will go in front of the town meeting for approval next week.
Richard Dragone also reported that the concrete restoration should be finished by November 1, 2015.
Richard Dragone informed the membership that we have received a notice of complaint of housing discrimination and the lawyers are working on it.
Richard reported that we deposited of $25,000.00 into the reserves and we will have over $200,000.00 by the end of the year.
Due to the notice of complaint on the housing discrimination we will update our rule book and we will be
adding language to include all front doors are maintained by owners in the rule book.
Richard informed the members that we now have a service animal on the property and that we have to follow the fair housing act laws.
Lightning strike hit the building on the north east corner and the one elevator circuit was burned and concrete repair has to be done. It will be covered under our insurance.
Richard Dragone asked all the board if Mayan Towers South could have their annual meeting in our clubhouse. The board all approved.
Club House renovations was discussed and the board approved the committees request.
The Renovation Committee asked our board to approve one of the 3 Surveyors that we have chosen, and to allocate the funds to move forward with this survey that the town is requiring. Prices ranged from $2,500 – $6,500. (The board made a motion and voted unanimously to approve the $2,500 for the surveyor and move forward with this.)
The Renovation Committee asked board to vote on the requirement to move forward with the 3 builders we have interviewed and to get together a scope of work for them to begin the bidding process. Brian Macintyre, Richard Andrea, and Robert Martin. (The board made a motion and voted unanimously to approve this.)
The Renovation Committee asked the board if we can give Andrew Slacks PDF of the final C Plan for these quotes. (The board said yes. Not a formal vote taken on this question.)
The Renovation Committee asked the board to confirm that the ballot that was authorized by the board and was sent to all owners was in fact an official vote. The wishes of the owners by an overwhelming majority gave their vote in good faith believing that their opinion would count and would not be overturned by a board who is supposed be representing the owners wishes. If this is called a survey, which the owners completed in April, and was repeated yet again, it would be duplication of efforts, unnecessary money spent for new vote as well as time wasted in this renovation process. (The board would not say that this was a vote. A document from our Attorney was read. This is an email of the document that was given to us from Ann Sullivan.
