OLD BUSINESS
- Balcony Railing Replacements: It was determined that there was a miscommunication between the Board of Directors and City of Redondo Beach as it is not mandatory that the railings be replaced to meet code by 2020. Because of this, the Board determined that the vote for special assessment would be voided. The Board will reexamine this and possibly go out to vote again for the sundeck resurfacing project only. Mr. Engle made a motion to cancel the special assessment vote and create a railing committee consisting of himself, Bob Duncan, Lars Buchwardt and Mike Midstokke. The committee will come up with a plan to inspect all railings and have the needed repairs made. Mr. Chipman made a second to the motion. The motion carried with all in favor.
- Sundeck Resurfacing – The Board will revisit this project and possibly go out to vote for a special assessment to cover this expense.
- Exterior Light Fixture Replacement: The replacement lights and fixtures have been delivered. Efren will meet with Sandy on-site for installation.
- Lobby Door Security: It was reported that Efren will be reaching out to a locksmith that he does work with in order to provide an accurate proposal.
- Stucco Underside Balcony Repairs: The Board of Directors requested that SMC reach out to Smoothstone to request that they go to the City and ask that the “railing replacement” portion be removed from the permit so that they are able to finalize it for both units.
- Unit 305 Roof Leak: The Board reviewed the revised proposal received from Ewell Construction. Due to cost and the amount of work, the Board would like to obtain additional proposals.
- Unit 517 Repairs: The Board reviewed remediation proposals from Advanced Environmental, Ewell Construction and PW Stephens. The Board would like for Ewell Construction to separate the remediation cost from the unit interior repairs.
- 2017 Annual Review: The Board of Directors reviewed the Annual Review drafted by the Association’s CPA. Ms. Schneider made a motion to approve the review as drafted. Ms. Bagley made a second to the motion. The motion carried with all in favor.
