-The roof on Building F was replaced.

7. Presentation of 2009 Board Members:

-Betty reported there are plans to replace the roof on Building C in early 2009 and Buildings E & F should be painted in late 2009.
-A question arose on whether carpet is allowed on the balconies due to the negative affect it may have on concrete.

Management will research whether the owner in the upper unit can be forced to remove the carpet in order for repairs to be completed.

Speed limit signs: Don Williams found 2 speed limits signs in the storeroom and he will post them in the SW and NE corners.
Dog in Unit A103: A letter has already been sent to the owner stating dogs are not allowed on the premises. The owner in turn sent the President a letter from a doctor stating a dog would benefit her mental and physical health even though this is not a licensed or registered therapy dog. The owners also already have another pet in the unit. The Board felt allowing this one owner to keep the animal would set a precedent and in order to be fair to all owners, which some may have allergies to dogs, the owner must remove the animal. Therefore, a letter will be sent to the owner giving her 15 days to make other arrangements for the animal else the matter will have to be forwarded to the association attorney.

Unit E234: Betty brought to the Board’s attention a request from unit E234 to allow an individual who is 54 to share the expenses in that unit. A majority of the Board felt they could not approve the request since again it would set a precedent.
7. Committee Reports:

Sun Kraft will be on site Wednesday to repair the pool light.

3. New Business:
Insurance: Josh Ranew from Ranew Insurance Agency was present and explained to those present the differences in terms and what 100% co-insurance and 90% co-insurance actually mean to the association and why 100% premium is lower. The example given to the Board was, if a property is insured for 10 million at 100% co-insurance and there’s a catastrophe the association would receive up to 10 million for the claim. At 90% co-insurance, the association would receive the 10 million plus 10% or an additional 1 million which could assist with “supply and demand” pricing. Josh stated if the association is underinsured the insurance carriers may penalize the association. Josh also said Citizens and other insurance companies are requiring appraisals and as of June 1st, if an association does not have an updated appraisal the insurance companies will automatically add an “inflation guard” to the policy. Both quotes from Ranew Insurance and Brown & Brown were essentially the same. Sid Shipley made a motion to accept the quote from Ranew Insurance for the 100% co-insurance for a total of $97,757.00 with a finance interest rate of 4.18%. Don Williams (by proxy for Berniece Williams seconded the motion and it passed by unanimous voice vote.
Drain Pipe at Building B: The Board reviewed and discussed the 2 bids received. JAG Enterprises bid $4775 to repair the sewer drain collapsing in the Building B parking lot and Ramage Construction bid $3840. Sid Shipley felt while the bid from Ramage was tempting he felt there wasn’t enough of a description of what work would be done. Sid offered to call Dave Snyder at Ramage Construction and inquiry as to the work that will be performed. If Sid approves of the work, the Board has agreed to accept the bid from Ramage Construction.

-Sid had asked about yard sales and if it was allowed. There’s nothing in the Docs forbidding them but some owners present expressed their concern over additional car traffic.
-The parking was revisited and a complaint made about a renter using the unmarked space. The Docs state the unmarked spaces are for extra parking. They’re not assigned so in essence it’s a first come first come scenario.
