Previous to today’s meeting, President Bailey gave Larry approval to present a motion to Reconsider the Motion that was passed during the February 20th Board Meeting.
The previous motion included, using the Reserve Painting Funds to paint the stucco on the front of each unit after removal of all shutters, power washing the buildings and repair of minor cracks after removal or cutting down some front bushes. Paint color to be determined at a later date, now consider the Motion as:
1) pend start date of painting after repairs of stucco has been completed,
2) formation of a Committee composed of board members and owners who will develop a Bid Spec for contractors to use for bids on application of sealant and/ or paint, based on owners preference, including paint color and use of shutters. Committee to obtain three (3) bids for each type of application, paint and sealant.
3) Do a study on how to finance the cost, possibly using our options of a Construction Loan, Reserves or Assessment,
4) Determine if the work should be done in sections rather than all at one time based on what financially works for the association, giving us the possibility to work on the project in 2024 and 2025
Motion was seconded by Phil Hoffman.
The Notes below were written by Tom Kaiser and inserted into the board notes per his request:
“I (Tom) asked if we could break that motion out into a more readable and understandable set of motions rather than all in one and Larry continued to call for a vote on his motion. Questions pertaining to the motion were not allowed to be discussed.”
