Homeowners' Session.
1) Parking Waiting List. Jamie Chase and Julie Webb completed and turned in the forms to get an extra parking space, and they were added to the Waiting List. The current parking waiting list to get an extra space for $35 a month is: P. King, D. Divine, E. Salcedo, L. Robertson, M. Dionisio, and J. Chase & J. Webb.
2) Vehicle Gate Problems. The vehicle gate continues occasional intermittent operation. It was reported that the gate seemed to be operating improperly a few days earlier. It was noted that cars should move through the gate’s swing zone because cars stopped there are not sensed. (Secretary’s Note: Per HOA’s Gate Procedure, cars should not enter that zone unless the driveway is clear of other vehicles.)
3) Pool Problems. Two problems were noted in the pool area. A broken beer bottle was found near the pool. And, people have been in the spa after 10 pm. After offering to help regarding such problems, Mr. Chase and Ms. Webb were appointed to the Pool Committee by MOTION.
4) Elevator Permit Expired. It was mentioned that the elevator permit has expired. (Note: That happens almost every year.) The Manager said that there are automatic waivers regarding dates on elevator permits. Currently an annual inspection process is underway.

2) Status of Delinquent Accounts. An A-Bldg condo estimated to be about $1800 delinquent has a lien on it. In the B-Building, three condos, each roughly $1000 delinquent, are in the lien process. The status of other delinquencies was also discussed, and Small Claims Court action was approved.
3) Financial Statements used in Board meetings have a new look due to new software. The Manager offered options for information presentation.
