COMMUNITY MANAGER’S UPDATE

 

Management reported that Eugene had made an assessment of the pool furniture and reported that there are 16 lounges and eight chairs that need to be refinished and restrapped. Following a brief discussion of the necessity of doing this, Betty moved to approve an expense not to exceed $2,700 for this project. Karen seconded. Motion passed.

 

The Board requested that Management review the operating line item of Office Expenses as it is considerably over-budget. Management will report to the Board at the December meeting.

 

Management informed the Board that KPA is hoping to change banks, from BB&T to Smart Street, beginning January 1, 2005. Smart Street is a bank that caters to condominium associations.
