Maintenance & Supplies (non-routine repairs & maintenance, and supplies): $1023
Various items on the financial statements were discussed, including $725 for pool & spa filters, valve, manifold, etc.
2) Status of Delinquent Accounts. Two liens were still in place, one on an A-Bldg condo and one on a B-Bldg condo. The owners of both condos were about $900 and $1400 delinquent, respectively. Foreclosure actions were reactivated for one, while a repayment agreement was signed in the other case. Delinquent accounts of lesser amounts were also discussed.
3) CD Maturing. There was discussion about how to convert a CD that is maturing to a Merrill Lynch investment account.

Old Business:
1) Authorizations Since the May Meeting. No work orders were issued.
2) Interior Painting. Another inspection of purported problems with the interior painting is to be done by Dan Little, manager, along with Warren Riley. The painting was largely performed in March and April.
3) Carpeting. Bonded Carpet and Carpet Club both sent in revised quotes to put in hallway carpeting, area rugs by the mailboxes, and vinyl (linoleum) in part of the trash chute halls. The two bids were compared. The bids were very similar, both around $21,000. Eventually a MOTION passed accepting the Carpet Club bid, on a 2-0 vote with one abstaining. (Note: The Carpet Club began putting in the new carpets on July 20th. Work is expected to continue for about a week. The carpet is a dark teal color called Slumbering Pine.)

New Business.
1) Roof Antennas. In order to receive TV direct from satellites, two owners requested permission to install rooftop dish antennas. The previous Board actions regarding roof antennas (reference Minutes of Meeting of October 9, 1997) were discussed. Discussion also covered desires to minimize antenna visibility and to ensure installations are non-destructive to the roof. Towards that end, no drilling, cutting, sawing or hammering will be allowed on the roof during installation. Other terms were discussed. License agreements will be sent to the two owners. (Note: At this time two agreements have been signed, and the 1st installation was done on the B Building on July 3rd.)
2) Fire Lane Markings. Three red striped zones at bldg corners will be marked "No Parking, Fire Lane."
3) Hard Floors vs. Carpeting. Bert Donaldson said some owners have been replacing their carpeting with tile or wood flooring, in some cases leading to increased complaints of noise entering condos below. Noting that the original buildings (apartments) were probably designed assuming that managers would keep carpeting in place, and that some courts have ruled against some noisy people in other associations who removed carpeting, the Board passed a MOTION recommending that 2nd & 3rd floor condo owners keep carpets on their floors.
4) HOA Insurance. An alternate insurer has offered to provide the Association's insurance coverages at a lower price than the HOA currently pays. The Board discussed getting agents to come to a meeting. Earthquake insurance was also discussed.
5) Parking Space Waiting List. The philosophy and operation of the Waiting List were discussed. Spaces are assigned to people whose names have risen to the top of the list. (Note: The current waiting list is: (1) P. King, (2) C. Fullbright, (3) G. Schmera, (4) L. Cook, (5) Helgeson, (5) S. Lang, and (6) Hernandez.)
Adjournment. The meeting adjourned about 9:00pm.
