INTRODUCTION OF 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.
