INTRODUCTION OF ASSOCIATION STAFF
The Board of Directors introduced
themselves to all unit owners present. President Cowan introduced the
Association staff.
REPORTS BY OFFICERS
President's Report- President Cowan explained the
importance of the Board of Directors and the Unit Owners Association. He
stressed that the unit owners are responsible for being involved in their
Association because it is the owners who control the Association through their
Board, and no one else. (Note: the text of President Cowan's report is appended
at the end of the minutes.)
Treasurer's Report- Jim Shelton explained the budgeting
process. Some funds are kept in a money market account for liquidity even
though the interest rate is lower than other investments. The rest of the
Association funds are invested in CD's; $100,000 matures per year.
Condominium fees are now $200 per month. Last year,
they were $200 plus a special monthly assessment of $35. The condominium fees
will remain at $200 for the next year.
UNIT OWNER FORUM
President Cowan asked owners to comment on the idea
of installing skylights at the Heatherlea. He suggested three options:
1) Install the skylights, paying for them with a
special assessment.
2) Create a reserve fund for the skylights- he
estimated it would take 5- 7 years.
3) Not install the skylights at all.
Owner opinion was fairly evenly divided for and
against the installation of skylights.
The Board of Directors commended Eugene Evans for his
service to the residents of the Heatherlea Condominium.
