SAMMAMISH WATERWAY CONDOMINIUM ASSOCIATION
Abbreviated BOARD OF DIRECTORS MEETING MINUTES
Jan 4th, 2010- Approved
5:00 PM
1. Call Meeting to Order – 5:04pm
· Attendance: Erik Noyd, Mary Allen, Kent Hutchings, and by phone Tom Smith
2. Consideration of advice by attorney to adopt resolution regarding delinquency by unit #5106. Board members discussed recommendation. Kent made motion to approve and Tom seconded, passed. Resolution signed by President, attested by Secretary and witnessed by Kent Hutchings. Resolution denies delinquent board member voting rights on the issue of his unit’s delinquency.
3. Request by owner of unit #5106 to forgive late fees, security deposit and attorney’s fees. Board members reviewed correspondence between association (property manager) and unit owner as well as between attorney and owner. Owner certainly knew dues and special assessments payments were due and payable. Two notices were mailed to owner at their mailing address including one by certified mail. Attorney sent a 3rd. Discussed the request from owner for exception based upon his contributions to the community as board member. Board discussed need to maintain a consistent treatment of all owners regardless of their “position” for fear of appearances of favoritism. Kent made motion to deny request for waiver. Tom seconded. Unanimous. Waiver denied.
4. Insurance check signature- signed and mailed
5. Consideration of safety adding anchor points to roof installation during restoration project for future roof work safety. Appears to not be a code requirement, but simply desirable. Point made that little roof work should be needed and any contractor doing work be licensed, bonded and insured. Cost of this addition, $3500. Consensus to opt not to add these.
6. Discussion about amending previously approved vents to be added to select window types and sizes. Consideration of adding fresh air vents to all windows to allow for even distribution of the benefit of ventilation to all units. These fresh air vents are common in more “air tight” new construction to preserve indoor air quality. Concern about in any way limiting the benefits enjoyed by all residents. This would increase costs by about $6,000-$7,000 over prior ventilation estimate, but would provide that maximum benefit would be enjoyed by all units without regard to their unit floor plan. Decision to accept the installation of vents on all windows and sliding doors.
Meeting adjourned 5:34pm
