Notes from Public board meeting 1/21/2020

The election originally scheduled for 12/2/2019 was held, and the new board members are posted on the “Meet the board” page. No other decisions were made on this day. I am posting other topics that were brought up for later discussion.

Mailboxes – there have been complaints that the mailboxes are too small (too thin). Any changes have to affect all mailboxes equally. If we buy new mailboxes, we would have to buy a Post Office regulation size, and they will extend 12 inches further into the first floor space. The other choice is to construct a mailbox section outside in the garden.

Amazon deliveries – Amazon can install (free of charge) a door buzzer that will open the door when an Amazon headquarters triggers it for the delivery person. The packages can then be left inside the building instead of outside the main lobby door.

Instructions for using this website can be mailed by the managing agent to all unit owners mailing address, which might not be in the building.

There are leaks in two units where water is coming from outside brick walls into the apartments. There is a spray treatment that can be done during warm weather (April) although the permanent solution is to replace those brick walls in those units.

The next (private) board meeting will be 2/19/2020.
