work in providing funds from the reserves for some interior decorating items that need replacement. The committee also is constantly
reviewing our delinquenices in light of the current real estate market and slowing economy. The committee is also keeping abreast of
developments with the GMAC bond in the Residential Reserve Fund.
Building Improvement Committee
The fire door repairs have been completed. A final walk through inspection demonstrated several definciencies with the work.
Several of the door "hold opens" are malfunctioning and still need repair. The contractor has been contacted and will be addressing
these shortly. Except for these one or two doors, they are all performing well. Some additional painting remains to be done where
door hardware was either replaced or moved on the doors.
The Committee is very near bringing our website in-house thereby eliminating the hosting fees by and outside service. John Fran continues
his work in completing the engineering for the hot and cold water pumps.
The committee is also reviewing and revising proposals to provide bulk TV, Internet and telephone service to all AT Units as we are also
in the process of renegotiating our Comcast TV contract.

additional plumbing. The Board discussed several ways in which requests of this nature should be handled in the future and requested
insurance certifications, licensed contractors, and city permits. Upon motion duly made and seconded, the Board unanimously approved
