The boards reviewed remodel plans for the unit of Rochene Hellen. She will be replacing her windows, moving the door opening on her deck to the inside, adding two new windows and moving the interior door over. No objections.
Snow shoveling: Want to get a competitive price but we need to get the roof shoveled. Scott is trying to get bid versus man-hours.
Rainproof is $75 an hour and is coming out Monday to inspect roof.
Scott spoke to Fortuni and Holland roofing cost $100-110 per hour.
Another group may also be possible. Brad commented when it warms up we will be in trouble. Motion by Daniel Who ever can get here first to shovel the roof and don’t need to call us if it is less than $6,000. Seconded by Owen.
No objections.
Scott will speak to Alyeska, Bob Wolf, or Mark to move snow in back, estimating a couple of grand to move snow.
Motion by Rochene Hellen, “assuming moving of snow is less than $2,000
we authorize Scott to do it.” No objections.
Brad presents vinyl windows to be shown at association meeting.
Architectural committee; did not get together as they had hoped to. There was a discussion on the style and types of deck doors. We should create an architectural standard for doors and windows. Consistency is important for the long-term look of the building. Window opening size needs to be consistent but the original style is not safe and consistent with egress requirements. The question was raised whether we would keep the colors we have right now. We agreed we would like the doors to be glass and move away from solid doors. Another question rose would the association have to pick up expense in order for owners to comply. It was agreed we would ask an attorney who is familiar with condo association law. We need to build up reserves or ask for an assessment in order to complete project.
Motion by Rochene “Ask for a vote for hiring a architect to improve and create a form for consistency for the exterior of the building.
After approval from the board the exterior form would be applied to the bylaws” Seconded by Owen. No objections.
Annual Meeting Date. Motion by Mike Flynn that 11th of February at 4:30 p.m. Seconded by Owen. No objections.
Board changes: Brad and Rochene traded places on the board. No objections.
Budget
Snow removal. There was a discussion on a bill for snow shoveling of the parking lot by Alyeska Resort. Scott had written a check for $2,500 but the check was not sent out. Brian and Scott met with Alyeska to discuss parking and snow shoveling.
Alyeska has removed from master plan to remove Sitzmark and chair 3.
It is possible that Sitzmark will expand. They will enforce after bar crowd out front and the urinating off the deck of the Sitzmark.
Parking: Brian and Scott met with Alyeska to discuss snow removal and parking. Board members reviewed a suggested contract that would have us pay $5,000 for snow removal and give us exclusive rights to park with 46 passes to park on a possible 38 shared spaces. A two-bedroom unit would pay roughly $30 a quarter to pay for snow removal of the parking lot. It was discussed by email that we needed an attorney. Suggested attorney neighbor Tim Lamb has conflict because he works with Alyeska and recommended attorney Donald McClintock. There was discussion on cost of snow removal if we owned parking and what does policing and sharing mean in contract. We have inherited shared parking and because of businesses it is hard to police parking. Can tow in evening to keep people from parking over night? There was discussion on the property we owned being used by skiers and our on liability of skiers. There was concern that we would be giving up our rights to access to our property with the agreement? The budget has money for legal expenses. Motion by Owen, “ We hire an attorney to review parking agreement with Alyeska”. Seconded by Rochene. No objections.
Brian and another board member will try to meet with attorney so that we can bring information to association meeting.
Trash expenses. Should we move the dumpster next to Sitzmark where they can be hidden. Locks freeze and don’t work maybe we should accept that we are paying for the greater good so that we don’t have trash everywhere. It was agreed that Scott will check with Alyeska Resort to move at least one dumpster.
Scotts first raise in 5 years was approved.
It was also suggested that we have a master plan for repairs of the building so we can plan ahead. It would include replacement cost, estimated life, current age, remaining life, current reserves, surplus or shortage, required annual contribution to make sure we can keep up with maintenance.
Annual Audit. We haven’t had an audit in a while and need to get one.
Rochene made a motion to approve the budget. Owen second. No objection.
We will start having quarterly meetings for the board.
We need a punch list for things to be fixed.
Brad made a motion to have bring website to association. Seconded by Rochene. No objections.
Rochene will write a letter to association on reminding homeowners on liability issues and the master key. Rochene agreed to send out
letter on Monday and asked it please be reviewed by Tuesday.
Daniel asked if he could put photos in front entranceway.
Meeting adjourned 6:02 p.m.
