c. Possible Assessment to cover windstorm insurance addition to Master Policy. Amount uncertain at this time, will know possibly by end of September hopefully roof will be completed so we can move forward. Hopefully the increase will be 2x what paying now, which is $46000.00 and payments now $4100.00 monthly will probably be about $9000.00 monthly.
2. 3791 1F plumbing issue resolved new pipe liner from master bedroom to main line completed.
3. Issue at 3841 1H,2H snake still stuck in pipe under floor, will have repaired possibly by end of October 2024
4. A resident had her car stolen It was reported to police and located not far from here; also, car was broken into, nothing taken could see visibly things moved. Please lock your cars. The Association only has 2 cameras which are by the dumpsters. Some owners have placed their
own security cameras (doorbell /mini cameras) and the association has no problem with that. Safety first.
Various Other Matters.
1. Roof 3771, 3781, 3791 Paul Bange has been called 4 times because of water pooling, found the contract signed did not include scuppers and the water isn’t draining properly. Solutions A. Fix with Paul Bange because it has a 5 year warranty. B. Have someone else fix it and find out if that will void the warranty. Checking with Paul Bange will report at the next meeting.
2. Painting: Engineers noted there are cracks and now having Mr. Ware using sealant to seal. But when painting Is done have to do extensive prep work before painting, which will be more costly than just painting the buildings. Will get 3 quotes and plan to begin by the end of 2025. So far I have 1 quote at over $100,000.00. so cost will be in that neighborhood.
3. Parking Lot: Plan to complete by the end of 2027. Or sooner if funds permit. Have 2 quotes average $20,000.00
4. Rentals- question the number of acceptable Rentals in the community. 52 units now have 13 total. When a mortgage company or bank funds a buyer they always want to know the ratio of owners to renters. Which is why the Board voted to place Amendments April 2016 stricter guidelines and minimum credit score of 620, and owners must live in their place at least 2 years before renting.
5. Phase 1 electrical lighting problem; Electrician resolved it a wiring issue; the lower lights keep tripping the breaker and will either cap and eliminate then rewire.
6. After the project is completed at 3801 will be writing a letter to Mayor and commissioners to complain about how the process has been prolonged because every time City requested a change it was costly to Association and then once Association complied there was something added that was not requested before. Will discuss more at next meeting.
Adjourn: 11:03 am
Next meeting: September 21st or 28th will advise later.
Board of Directors,
Spring Creek Condominium Association Inc.
