Approval of Previous Minutes
The Minutes of the July 6, 2006 Board of Trustees Meeting, upon motion duly made and seconded
were unanimously approved.
Finance Committee
The Financial Statements from June 30, 2006 were reviewed by the Manager. The Association reported
an unaudited operating surplus of $34,751 Year-to-Date as of June 30, 2006. The Common Reserve Fund
has an unaudited balance of $208,720 and the Residential Reserve Fund has an unaudited
balance of $223,464 as of June 30, 2006. The Board also reviewed the delinquency report.
The Finance Committee reported that the annual audit is nearly concluded and the audit reports
should be available to all owners for the Annual Meeting to be held on August 12, 2006.
The committee had reviewed the bids for renewal of our insurance policies. The
committee recommended approval of the lowest bid from Affiliated FM. Upon motion
duly made and seconded, the Board unanimously approved renewal of the Affiliated
FM insurance proposal for property, liability and earthquake. While the property
value was increased from $95 million to $107 million, the premium increased from
$147,323 to $149,214. The Finance Committee also reviewed the annual audit
report and recommended approval for distribution to the owners. Upon motion duly
made and seconded, the Board unanimously accepted the 2005-2006 audit report and
approved publication and distribution to the owners.
Building Improvement Committee
Mike Gravitz reported that the committee has finally received a proposal from
Rocky Mountain Power (formerly Utah Power) regarding proposed participation
from the company for new variable speed pumping stations for our hot and cold water pumps.
The total estimated cost is approximately $100,000 of which Rocky Mountain power
will pay $35,000. The Board decided to have the Finance Committee review the
proposals for availability of funds and asked if John Frank could provide firm
cost estimates.
Mike also reported on recent Legionella test results which came in as
expected following a recent cook & flush with the exception of a single supply
line that showed elevated readings that will require further investigation. All
of the readings remain well below the OSHA threshold for additional action. The
tests also showed that one condo which of it's own accord and expense performed
the extreme Wisconsin protocol of draining and flushing with chlorine is also
now experiencing bacteria readings in small amounts.
Proposal to Paint and Stripe East Alley
The Board reviewed a proposal to paint in red "No Parking" and "Fire Lane" on
the east side of the east alley and to paint in yellow, numbered parking stalls
and loading zone next to the building on the west side of the alley. The
proposal is intended t facilitate parking and traffic control of the alley for
our security guards. The total cost is $1,195 for painting in the alley and $380
for some additional striping in the garage. Upon motion duly made and seconded,
the proposal was unanimously approved.
