INTRODUCTION There are 331 apartments at the Gold Coast Galleria occupied by Unit Owners or their lessees, each of whom is entitled to the same degree of courtesy and consideration. The furniture and facilities in the Common Elements are jointly owned. In all maintenance and redecorating of common areas, the Association strives to maintain the original appearance of the building. You, as well as other Owners, have a proprietary interest in the maintenance of the premises and the enjoyment of its facilities. For those reasons, the Board of Directors has adopted the rules on this and the following pages. If you need help in interpreting or understanding the rules, or if you have any questions at all, please feel free to contact the building manager at 312-482-9793. The rules contained herein supersede and take precedence over any and all rules distributed in this building prior to the date these rules are approved by the Board of Directors and distributed to the unit owners. II. BUILDING ACCESS Basic Entry Procedures The Gold Coast Galleria main lobby entrance on Maple Street is for residents and guests only. The alleyway service entrance is to be used by all workmen and for all deliveries, with the exception of cooked food, medical supplies, and envelopes delivered by courier. As provided by the Illinois Condominium Property Act, the Association and its agents have the right to access and enter any unit whenever necessary for maintenance, repair or replacement of any common elements, or for making emergency repairs necessary to prevent damage to the common elements or other units. Deliveries, Guests, and Service Access The doorman will oversee entry authorization to the common areas and resident units at all times. In most cases this will be done with the use of a Permission to Enter Slip. No one will be allowed access to the common areas or units, unless the resident has filed a written Permission to Enter Slip with the Doormen’s Station or the management office. Also, the staff has the right to ask for a valid form of photo identification from an owner or resident when a Permission to Enter Form is accepted. Unit owners or residents who have authorized an individual(s) to have permanent entry to their unit should provide that person(s) with keys to enter the unit. THE MANAGEMENT OFFICE AND DOORMEN MAY NOT HOLD KEYS FOR ANYONE AT ANY TIME, FOR ANY REASON. A Permission to Enter Slip must still be on file regardless. Should a resident wish to change the permanent entry status of any guest, they should inform the Doormen’s Station immediately. 3 | P a g e WHEN GUESTS OR NON-RESIDENTS REQUEST BUILDING ACCESS, A VALID FORM OF IDENTIFICATION MUST BE PRESENTED. IF THEIR IDENTITY IS CONFIRMED AND A CURRENT PERMISSION TO ENTER SLIP IS ON FILE FOR THAT INDIVIDUAL THEY WILL BE ALLOWED ACCESS. The resident can arrange to have grocery or perishable item deliveries made to the Doormen’s Station for pre-arranged and immediate pick-up. These items cannot be left with the doorman for any reason. If the resident is not present, a Permission to Enter Slip should be filed for individuals who need to provide such service. If the resident is present for a delivery (i.e. pizza), the doorman can call the resident to confirm and allow access. All package type/non-mailbox deliveries (Messenger, UPS, FedEx, Airborne Express) and other day to day deliveries by the US Postal Service that can not fit in the mailboxes, will be logged in with the Doorman’s Station and a slip will be placed in your mailbox announcing your package. The Association’s staff, Management, and Board of Directors will not be held responsible or liable for the replacement of lost, stolen, or damaged items. Packages will not be left with Management or the Staff for return or to be sent out. Such items must be arranged for pick up by the Owner or Resident. Flower deliveries can be made to the doorman’s station. These will not be held for longer than 24 hours. Furniture, appliances or other large items scheduled for deliveries or moves must be scheduled through the management office. Residents must arrange for such deliveries and/or moves with management office during normal business hours to schedule use of the loading dock and the freight elevator. Association employees will not accompany any person, including service or delivery persons, to a unit. Likewise, employees will not sign for a delivery to a unit. Likewise they should not be asked or expected to make deliveries to units or on behalf or residents. Association employees are prohibited from accepting cash or C.O.D deliveries. Packages being held in the delivery room will not be available for pick-up when the delivery room operator is not present, or if the delivery room is closed. The Association, Board of Directors, its agent or employees are not responsible for the receipt of, loss, damage or any adverse condition of deliveries. The freight elevator will be available for use Monday through Friday, 8:00 am to 8:00 pm and Saturday and Sunday, 10:00 am to 6:00 pm. Packages and deliveries will not be accepted by the door staff for Owners who are in collections for unpaid assessments. 4 | P a g e Guests & Non-Residents In order to be permitted access to the building or any residential Unit when authorization via the lobby phone is unavailable, a non-Resident must either be accompanied by a Resident, or must have prior written authorization from the Unit Owner. Permission to Enter Slips can be obtained from the Management Office or Doormen’s Station. These slips will stay on file with the Doormen’s Station until they expire or until the owner or resident cancels them. All guests and invitees of Residents or Unit Owners are responsible for complying with all Association rules during their visit. Unit Owners and Residents are responsible for the actions and behavior of their guests and invitees. No acts or violence nor threat of violence made by guests or Unit Owners against property or other building occupants or personnel will be tolerated. Keys, Locks, Security Systems, Lockouts A duplicate key must be furnished to the Management Office if Unit locks are altered or changed. If Management is not provided with a key or access code to a Unit, and is required to make a forced entry, the Unit Owner – and not the Management or the Association – will bear the expense of repairing any damage incurred. Keys can be provided during business hours by management or after hours by maintenance to Owners or occupants only. However, if keys are required after normal office hours, it will be treated as a lockout. Owners are encouraged to provide their neighbors, employees, or regular guests with a key. Owners installing private alarm systems for their Units must notify Management prior to installation. Security codes must be registered with the Management Office to allow entry in the event of an emergency. Individual security systems that are disruptive to other Residents are not permitted. Unit Owners are responsible for any costs incurred in removing such systems or modifying them in order to eliminate the disruption. Keys of any type, nature, or purpose will not be left by any individual with the staff or Management at anytime. Nor will the staff accept keys for any reason. Individuals needing to pick up or deliver keys should be left a permission to enter slip (for your apartment) at the Doorman Station. Owners shall be entitled to two (2) free lockouts per calendar year, however, any additional lockouts will result in a charge of $15.00 to the unit owner’s account. This fee shall be charged for each lockout that occurs, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

  • Codifying Copyright Comprehensibly
    CODIFYING COPYRIGHT COMPREHENSIBLY David Nimmer The UCLA Law Review has been proud to present Articles based on the annual tribute to Professor Melville B. Nimmer that takes place at the UCLA School of Law. The Review continues that tradition by publishing an Article by this year's presenter, Professor David Nimmer. In the form of a tribute to the author's father, the Article evaluates each provision of the Copyright Act of 1976 and each amendment to that legislation through the present. The author concludes that the crafting of that enactment started out strong and continued in a positive vein through 1992. Since that time, however, a marked decline in quality has afflicted the draftingof copyright amendments. To correct that downward slide, Professor David Nimmer proposes principles, culled from the wisdom of Professor Melville Nimmer, that will once again imbue copyright legislation with the proper balance to confront the advances of technology.

She had insisted on wearing her best dress, a yellow taffeta and tulle princess gown from Halloween six months earlier, and Phil let her, even though he knew the trip to Amarillo was going to take nearly a day and a half. Kendall had foregone the plastic tiara only because of Phil’s insistence that it would be difficult for her to sleep with the “silver” digging into her scalp. Phil was careful to refer to the tiara as real silver, careful to always let Kendall believe she was a real princess.

Hersbergen* THE BANK -CUSTOMER RELATIONSHIP Contractual Stipulations That Vary the Effect of the U.C.C. The checking account contract between a bank and its customer obligates the bank to pay sums out of the customer's account only to the extent that the bank follows the "order" of the customer to pay, embodied in the checks he issues. Section 4-401 of the Commer- cial Laws of Louisiana' indicates that a bank may charge against the customer's account a "properly payable" item,2 and the negative im- plication is that any order not the act or responsibility of the customer is not properly payable and therefore may not be charged to the customer's account. The principle of section 4-401 is traceable to the ancient case of Hall v. Fuller,3 in which the drawer's order to pay three pounds was altered so as to read "two hundred pounds" and paid in the altered amount. The drawee was required to repay the drawer one hundred and ninety-seven pounds.

Ostie would listen to a preacher when she wouldn’t listen to her own husband. They had to do something about Isaac.

Pressure is mounting on the Republican-led Senate to follow the House, which voted over- whelmingly on Monday to meet the president's demand to increase the checks from $600 as the virus crisis worsens. A growing number of Republicans, including two senators in runoff elections on Jan. 5 in Georgia, have said they will support the larger amount. But most GOP senators oppose more spending, even if they are also wary of bucking Trump. Continued on Page 2 The Capitol is seen, Tuesday, Dec. 29, 2020, in Washington.

  • Jerry Seinfeld Wants to Be in Your Show, Do You Have Room for Him? and by the Way It's a Secret
    Dear Friends of Funny, The day of my Ivy Standupsm show I got a call from a manager at Gotham Comedy Club-- Jerry Seinfeld wants to be in your show, do you have room for him? And by the way it's a secret. I juggled the line-up to accommodate his schedule. I'd set the line-up weeks in advance– comics sometimes do several shows a night at different clubs so there are logistics involved, and by the way if you produce a show and comics can trust you to run your show exactly on time they're much happier. (So if your big crowd gets to my show right at showtime and we don't hold the start of the show until you're seated, this is one reason why.) As Jerry walked in I signaled the comic on stage to wrap it up, and I, the emcee, took the stage. I said "One reason I love my job as the emcee of Ivy Standup is that I get to say things like... 'Ladies and gentleman, Jerry Seinfeld.'" I stopped talking. Looked offstage. Nothing. The audience looked off stage- Then at me in disbelief- He said Jerry Seinfeld– Where's Jerry Seinfeld– Is that a joke– There's no punchline– Why'd he stop talking? Seconds later Jerry walks out to thunderous applause. Whispers in my ear "They didn't believe you." I said "Nope... not this time." Kills. Twenty five minutes of talking about his family, his wife's Blackberry, chatting with the audience. Normally that's it, when the headliner's done the show's over.
