regarding epoxy versus water based enamel paint for use on the elevator door numbers
scheduled for application in the next few weeks. The Board agreed that water based enamel
with a satin finish would be the better choice. Matt will work with Kym or Art on location of

Homeowner Forum:
 Homeowner from #302 addressed the Board regarding re-installation of the plastic
fence pieces along the front sidewalk/retaining wall, asked about landscape
concerns and about use of the white board on the door to the Resident Manager’s
unit. The Board is just beginning discussions on landscape issues for 2014 so no
decisions have been made yet. The white board is only for emergency notice to
residents from Richard for such things as emergency water shut off or false fire
alarm.
 Homeowner from #311 addressed the Board regarding noise in her walls. The
Board explained that the creaking sounds come from hot water lines inside the walls
for heating as the lines expand and contract during call for hot water up the lines.
She was informed that she may put insulation inside the walls in an effort to keep
the noise from being a nuisance to her.
Staff Report: Richard noted the new mixing valve had been installed this day and that he
made a large repair to the water lines over the shower in the men’s restroom. Drywall
repairs over the shower were scheduled for the next day. Cause of the leak was from the
domestic and heat hot water lines touching each other and rubbing a pinhole leak in one
line over the years.
Minutes: After review, Kym Bloom moved to approve the minutes from the March meeting.
Jennifer Kemps seconded the motion and it was carried.
Financials: The balance in the operating account at the end of March 2014 was minus
$7,019.61. The balance in the reserves account at the end of March was $67,431.77.
Delinquency was $5,506.07, up $124.50 from February. Jenifer Kemps moved to accept the
financials as submitted. Kym Bloom seconded the motion and it was carried.
Manager Report and Communications were reviewed, discussed and are included with
the meeting records.

with one new mixing valve for $6,552.
 After review, all board members ratified the previous electronic vote to accept the

 The prioritized list prepared from the last meeting discussion was reviewed. Sara

Manager Kaye Welch will bring information from Comcast regarding Wi-Fi services
for both rooms and perhaps the building. Possible consideration for television
installation on either or both areas will be further discussed. Board members will
bring their ideas on what they would like to see for an awning at the front door and
clubroom exterior door to the next meeting. These projects will be considered as
cost effective improvements for 2014.
 Staff responsibility was tabled.
 Communication parameters were set. The white board installed on Richard’s door
is for him to write quick note for resident knowledge of emergency issue, such as
emergency water shut off or false fire alarm. Notices and minutes will be placed on
the bulletin boards. All information and governing documents for homeowners are

for 2014 and bring recommendations to the May board meeting.
 Snow removal needs to be resolved prior to Richard building a new storage shed.
 Insurance renewal options submitted. After discussion, Art Kerkezian moved to
stay with Philadelphia and ask if the sewer/drain backup coverage could be
increased. Jennifer Kemps seconded the motion and it was carried.
 May be time to clean out the main stack drains again.
 Art Kerkezian will check on the outgoing mail box door mail slot to see if it can be
enlarged.
 The Board held discussion regarding when a unit appears to have damage inside
their unit it is the owner’s responsibility to open any walls or ceiling to determine
the source of the damage. If the source is from another unit, the two unit owners
need to work together to resolve the problem. If the source is found to be an
Association responsibility, the Association will make resolution. This issue will be
further discussed at the next meeting.
 Storage closet plan discussion was tabled due to time constraints.
Adjournment: There being nothing further to discuss, the meeting was adjourned at 9:00
PM.
