Board roll call taken. Board quorum determined – all board members present in person or via teleconference.</p><p>Old Business:</p><p>President’s Report:</p><p>Updating Docs and Regs: Neal reported that the documents previously available only in copy form have mostly been transcribed and are available on the website.</p><p>Lease Riders and Maximum Occupancy: Neal reviewed the existing policy. Discussion was held on the maximum number of unit occupants. The current rules specify a maximum of six (6) persons per unit whether as owners or renters. </p><p>Cover for bike area: Frame and cover was replaced last year and has recently been torn up by the winds. The frame is in good shape. A new cover will be obtained.</p><p>Extensive Spalling Repair on Northeast side of bldg: While Unit 16 was being renovated, extensive spalling of the support beam and columns was detected. After engineering review and two estimates, Butch Blast was</p><p>2 contracted to repair the wall. The repair was very extensive and took several weeks to complete.ALL COMPLETE AND ALL BILLS PAID!</p><p>Pool Level: The water level in the pool continues to vary. Need a new float system to maintain level.FLOAT HAS BEEN REWORKED, HAVE TO WATCH AND MAKE SURE IT SOLVES THE PROBLEM.</p><p>THIS IS PRBABLY A GOOD PLACE TO REMIND EVERYONE OF A COUPLE OF POOL ITEMS.</p><p>1. THE FLOAT LEVELOF THE WATER IS CONTROLLED BY THE FLOAT THAT IS IN THE TANK WITH THE BIG METAL TOP, JUST IN FRONT OF THE DOOR TO THE FILTER ROOM. THIS PURPOSE OF THIS FLOAT IS TO MAINTAIN THE WATER AT THE PROPER LEVER SO THAT THE SKIMMERS WORK PROPERLY AND REMOVE THE SURFACE DEBRIS. IT WILL CAUSE WATER TO BE ADDED WHEN THE LEVEL DROPS DUE TO EVAPORATION. 2. IT DOES NOT PUMP WATER OUT IF THERE IS EXCESS WATER IN THE POOL EITHER FROM THE RAIN OR MALFUNCTION, THAT MUST BE DONE BY THE POOL MTCE CREW. 3. THE TEMP OF THE POOL HEATER IS LOCKED ON 84 DEGREES. THE HEATER MONITORS THE TEMP OF THE WATER FLOWING THROUGH IT AND IF THE TEMP IS LESS THAN 84 IT WILL COME ON AND RAISE THE TEMP TO 84. IF THE TEMP IS ABOVE 84 IT WILL NOT HEAT THE WATER. THAT IS MOTHER NATURE AND THE SUN HEATING THE WATER. 4. THERE IS A TIMER ON THE FILTER AND HEATER AND IT WILL OPERATE AT NIGHT. SO YOU SHOULD NOT HEAR THE FILTER RUNNING DURING THE DAY.</p><p>Professional Firms </p><p>Accounting – Bishop and Rosassco, will be kept. Legal – Mars and Spector, will be kept Maintenance – John Lucy will be kept. Elevator: Thyssen / Krup will be kept for maintenance.</p><p>3 Marathon Elevator for inspections Landscaping – Alex’s Landscaping Pool – Spas Inc. A + B Extermination will be kept.</p><p>Maintenance – power washing required on front of building. Spalling and extensive stains on the back dock area should be addressed.THE BLDG HAS BEEN POWER WASHED.</p><p>Laundry rooms and Pool restrooms: The condition of these rooms has deteriorated and both the laundry rooms and the restrooms by the pool need to be cleaned/renovated.ROOM WERE EMPTIED COMPLETELY, DRY WALL INSTALLED IN THE FRONT WALL, PAINTED WITH NEW SEALING PAINT AND THE FLOORS TILED.</p><p>Roof Repairs: We are out of warranty but the last evaluation of the roof was good.– need to have a general look by John Lucy and/or roofer for damage / rips to membrane. Leakage occurring just below the roof A/C compressors.CLEANED A FULL GARBAGE BAG OF DEBRIS FROM UNDER THE A/C UNITS AND HAD RAINBOW ROOFING FROM MIAMI AREA COME AND RESEAL AROUND THE PERIMETER OF THE UNITS AND ESPECIALLY THE DOWNSPOUT.</p><p>Seawall area behind Pool: Last year, the concrete dock and seawall were found to be adequate. There is some continuing erosion of the rocks and pebbles between the pool and the harbor. This should be watched/evaluated for further deterioration.NOTHING NEW HERE, STILL OK.</p><p>Treasurer’s Report - Budget : </p><p>The 2015 budget was handed out, reviewed, discussed and approved by the board. See following:</p><p>4 5 Insurance premiums yet to be paid. </p><p>John Spitzig is researching our insurance policies and providers. It looks like we will be able to change some providers at a reduced annual cost.NOT COMPLETE, BUT APPEARS JOHN CAN REDUCE THE INSURANCE PREMIUM JUST A BIT.</p><p>Professional Fees / Legal: none this year. </p><p>New Business: </p><p>Following are action items to be addressed (summary of all items discussed during the board meeting):</p><p>1.
