MANAGER’S REPORT

Units for Sale and For Rent

#304 May be rented on lease purchase
#801 Rented to Eli Stankee and Carrie Lopinot for 6 months
#1306 Rented to Andrew Misocky & spouse for 6 months
#1702 Tim Cayden vacated…rented to male (unknown as yet)
No units sold this period

Personnel – no action on PM recommendation

Administration

1. Lienor Thyssen Krupp offered to reduce lien settlement to $10,830.26. PM believes that PPCA should only pay $6,671.45. This represents the period of time equipment was on jobsite (through the end of September, 2007).

2. No progress or movement on the settlement offer to Mr. Seth #1203.

3. Does the Association really need a $300 per hour attorney? Paul Wean increased his hourly rate to $180 per hour. Lee Haramis with Marks & Gray is probably around that hourly rate.

4. Pertinent sections of the new governing documents should be emphasized to the owners to educate them, especially where there are significant changes. Example: the Association has the power to declare the monthly assessment for the entire year due and payable on delinquent accounts!

Building and Property

1. There have been three water supply line leaks the past ten days in the following units: #501, #406 and #704.

2. The cost estimate from Miller Interiors to demolish and rebuild the perimeter wall on top of the garage is $186,000. This quote is now about five months old. The Association may want to do one side at a time. See copy of proposal.

3. Control module on north elevator replaced on Thursday, 3/27/08. This device malfunctioned from time to time.

4. Stucco delamination is very apparent where applied on formed concrete columns and beams on the garage. Intron Tech, Superintendent Randy opines that contractor did not use a bonding agent prior to application of stucco.

5. Point of information – The double-tees do have rebar in them as well as strand cable.

6. Sherwin Williams has a product called UltraCrete that is a textured masonry topcoat. This may be suitable for the underside of the new concrete balcony segments.

7. Professional Restoration, Inc. recommends that the palm trees, shrubs and soil be removed from at least one of the concrete planters to further investigate the water intrusion. This should also be done in the perimeter planters for at least 20 feet in order to develop options to solve the problem.

8. Suggest that we paint test areas of breezeway / west walkways to determine the "best color" for the deck.



UNFINISHED / CONTINUING BUSINESS

MINUTES

Board of Directors Meeting
March 11, 2008

Directors present: Dane Lucas,Jeff Rolland, Collette Sellers,Constance Stumin and
Steve Bushman. Absent were: Michael King and Gerard Montgomery

Issue: Should the Association get bids on all painting and waterproofing items or just
those items not under contract already?

Board Consensus: The Association needs a detailed description of the job/scope of work prepared by a “Waterproofing Consultant”. Once that is done, painters can be contacted to obtain quotes/proposals/bids.

Issue: Stucco De-lamination - There is no easy way to determine how much stucco is not attached to the substrate. Tapping with a hammer is as effective as anything else.

Board Consensus: Waterproofing Consultant could do this. One company should make
stucco repairs. It should probably be the company that does the painting.

Issue: Garage Planters - The Building Committee has not considered the matter. The Association needs a plan for fixing the Garage. An architect and engineer may be needed to identify and provide solutions.

Issue: What action, if any, to take with regard to the signed contract with Halbert Waterproofing?

Consensus: Halbert is still a candidate for the coating work and can bid/quote on new specs.

Issue: Do we need a Construction Manager? (someone to oversee the work). It would be desirable but identifying or locating someone may be difficult.

Consensus: The objective is to get the work done as soon as possible as specified. Oversight and communication needs to be improved. The directors and attending members discussed a variety of issues/topics until the meeting adjourned.

RAMBLIN' MARION

Hi Neighbors!

I have just returned from my trip to Brazil, Argentina, Chile, and Paraguay and completed my travel blog. I invite everyone to share my adventures.

Also, if you go back far enough in the blog it includes my round-the -world trip to Peru, Egypt, Russia, Kenya, Tanzania, Madagascar, India, Bhutan, Tibet, China, and Hong Kong.

I always travel alone using frequent flyer miles and on the cheap. I always go to countries I've never visited before. I'm hoping for another round the world trip by the end of the year.

Cheers,

Marion

SECRET'S FROM MOTHER NATURE

Our President, Dane Lucas, would like to pass on some


SECRET'S FROM MOTHER NATURE, PRETTY INTERESTING STUFF

Peel a banana from the bottom and you won't have to pick the little "stringy things" off of it. That's how the primates do it. Take your bananas apart when you get home from the store. If you leave them connected at the stem, they ripen faster.

Store your opened chunks of cheese in aluminum foil. It will stay fresh much longer and not mold!

Peppers with 3 bumps on the bottom are sweeter and better for eating. Peppers with 4 bumps on the bottom are firmer and better for cooking.

Add a teaspoon of water when frying ground beef. It will help pull the grease away from the meat while cooking.

To really make scrambled eggs or omelets rich add a couple of spoonfuls of sour cream, cream cheese, or heavy cream and beat them up.

Add garlic immediately to a recipe if you want a light taste of garlic and at the end of the recipe if your want a stronger taste of garlic.

Reheat leftover pizza in a nonstick skillet on top of the stove. Set heat to med-low until warm. This keeps the crust crispy. No soggy micro pizza. I saw this on the cooking channel and it really works.

Easy Deviled Eggs. Put cooked egg yolks in a zip lock bag. Seal, mash till they are all broken up. Add remainder of ingredients, reseal, keep mashing it to mix thoroughly, cut the tip of the baggy, squeeze mixture into egg whites. Just throw bag away when done, easy clean up. And never use fresh eggs. Older eggs are much easier to peel.

Reheating refrigerated bread. To warm biscuits, pancakes, or muffins that were refrigerated, place them in a microwave with a cup of water. The increased moisture will keep the food moist and help it reheat faster.

Newspaper for planting. Start putting in your plants, work the nutrients in your soil. Put wet newspapers layers around the plants overlapping as you go, cover with mulch and forget about weeds. Weeds will get through some gardening plastic. They will not get through wet newspapers.

Broken Glass. Use a wet cotton ball or Q-tip to pick up the small shards of glass you can't see easily.

No More Mosquitoes. Place a dryer sheet in your pocket. It will keep the mosquitoes away.

Squirrel Away! To keep squirrels from eating your plants sprinkle your plants with cayenne pepper. The cayenne pepper doesn't hurt the plant and the squirrels won't come near it.

Flexible vacuum. To get something out of a heat register or under the fridge add an empty paper towel roll or empty gift wrap roll to your vacuum. It can be bent or flattened to get into narrow openings.

Reducing Static Cling. Pin a small safety pin to the seam of your slip and you will not have a clingy skirt or dress. Same thing works with slacks that cling when wearing panty hose. Place pin in seam of slacks and -- tada! -- static is gone.

Measuring Cups. Before you pour sticky substances into a measuring cup, fill with hot water. Dump out the hot water, but don't dry cup. Next, add your ingredient, such as peanut butter, and watch how easily it comes right out.

Foggy Windshield? Hate foggy windshields? Buy a chalkboard eraser and keep it in the glovebox of your car. When the windows fog, rub with the eraser! Works better than a cloth!

Reopening envelope. If you seal an envelope and then realize you forgot to include something, just place your sealed envelope in the freezer for an hour or two. Viola! It unseals easily.

Conditioner. Use your hair conditioner to shave your legs. It's a lot cheaper than shaving cream and leaves your legs really smooth. It's also a great way to use up the conditioner you bought but didn't like when you tried it on your hair.

Goodbye Fruit Flies. To get rid of pesky fruit flies, take a small glass and fill it 1/2" with Apple Cider Vinegar and 2 drops of dish washing liquid, mix well. You will find those flies drawn to the cup and gone forever!

Get Rid of Ants. Put small piles of cornmeal where you see ants. They eat it, take it "home," & can't digest it so it kills them. It may take a week or so, especially if it rains, but it works & you don't have the worry about pets or small children being harmed!

INFO ABOUT CLOTHES DRYERS. The heating unit went out on my dryer! The gentleman that fixes things around the house for us told us that he wanted to show us something. He pulled out the lint filter. It was clean. (I always clean the lint from the filter after every load clothes.) He took the filter over to the sink and ran hot water over it. The lint filter is made of a mesh material. Well,...the hot water just sat on top of the mesh! It didn't go through it at all! He told us that dryer sheets cause a film over that mesh, and that's what burns out the heating unit. You can't SEE the film, but it's there. It's what is in the dryer sheets to make your clothes soft and static free -- that nice fragrance too. You know how they can feel waxy when you take them out of the box, well this stuff builds up on your clothes and on your lint screen. This is also what causes dryer units to catch fire & potentially burn your house down! He said the best way to keep your dryer working for a very long time (& to keep your electric bill lower) is to take that filter out & wash it with hot soapy water & an old toothbrush (or other brush) at least every six months. He said that makes the life of the dryer at least twice as long! Learn something new everyday! I certainly didn't know dryer sheets would do that. So, I thought I'd share!

CONSTANCE'S KITCHEN

I was at a deck party awhile back, and the bugs were having a ball biting everyone. A man at the party sprayed the lawn and deck floor with Listerine and the little demons disappeared. The next year I filled a 4-ounce spray bottle and used it around my seat whenever I saw mosquitoes. And voila! That worked as well. It worked at a picnic where we sprayed the area around the food table, the children's swing area, and the standing water nearby. During the summer, I don't leave home without it.....Pass it on.

OUR FRIEND'S COMMENTS:

I tried this on my deck and around all of my doors. It works - in fact, it killed them instantly. I bought my bottle from Target and it cost me $1.89. It really doesn't take much, and it is a big bottle, too; so it is not as expensive to use as the can of spray you buy that doesn't last 30 minutes. So, try this, please. It will last a couple of days. Don't spray directly on a wood door (like your front door), but spray around the frame. Spray around the window frames, and even inside the dog house.
