Committee Reports • Lighting Committee- • We need to be careful installing and/or removing these new lamps • They are sturdy but we need to avoid breaking the lamp as they contain Mercury – do not inhale the mercury
Committee Reports • Lighting Committee- • Although household CFL bulbs may legally be disposed with regular trash in the U.S., the best solution is to save spent bulbs for a community hazardous waste collection day
Committee Reports • Sprinkler Committee- • So far this year, we have pumped almost 10.2 million gallons of water onto our lawns • This would have cost us about $27,540 if we had purchased city water without sewer charges • Our electrical energy cost to operate the pumps was about $5,500 or about $2.81/month/unit

Committee Reports • Welcome & Directory Committee- • We published an updated Association Handbook this year • So far this year we have welcomed (16) new co-owners this year • We have about 20 units either for sale, in the process of closing or closed but the new co-owners have not moved in yet

Committee Reports • Welcome & Directory Committee- • It there are any new co-owners that have not received their welcome package please contact Patsy Kenworthy or June Holmes • They have an Information Package that can be very helpful to you so be sure to make the contact
State of the Association September 2009
State of the Association • Roof Replacements - • This year we contracted with DK Roofing to replace roofs on (26) units @ a cost of $163,380 in addition to some valley repairs • We have pulled forward many roofs based on visual inspection
State of the Association • Roof Replacements - • The average life remains at about 13 years
State of the Association • Roof Replacements - • We are convinced that attic ventilation is the critical factor • We continue to assure that all new roofs have adequate soffit vents
State of the Association • Unit Painting - • This year, we approved a project to paint (64) units at a cost of $78,600 • We used the same contrator this year and all reports have been good so far
State of the Association • Unit Painting - • We spent $43,747 installing fascia boards and T1-11 siding to all units scheduled for painting this year • This was done to help reduce the deterioration of the T1-11 siding as we have done for the last three years
State of the Association • Unit Painting - • When the painting is completed all the new fascia boards blended in well and they appear to be part of the original structure
State of the Association • Unit Painting - • Before we started painting……. we also inspected every unit looking for windows problems. • This year we spent over $27,000 repairing windows on units to be painted. Of the 64 units, 38 units needed some window repair. • We believe this inspection and repair prior to painting is the critical step in our new window insert replacement strategy.
State of the Association • Deck Staining – • We were scheduled to stain 110 decks this year • We spent very little in replacement wood – this is the fifth year of this program and the wood is not deteriorating due to on-going maintenance. • We are finishing the decks scheduled for this year
State of the Association • Deck Staining – • We are continuing to look at the decks that will be stained next year to see what wood needs to be replaced this fall so that they have a winter season for aging prior to staining • As we travel around the complex all the decks look well maintained
State of the Association • Concrete Replacement – • This year we spent nearly $45,555 on concrete replacement for driveways and sidewalks • This year everyone seemed to deal better with the inconvenience caused during the repair process
State of the Association • Changes for 2010 – • We will be updating the reserve plan in 2010 to assure that we continue to have adequate funding for all projects. • We intend to mulch the entire site again in 2010
State of the Association • Voting Results – • Introduce the new members of the Board
State of the Association • Closing Remarks – • We have accomplished many things over the past few years • It seems popular to ask “Are we better off than a few years ago?” • In the Association case …. I believe we are but we still have work to do
State of the Association • Closing Remarks – • The new board and McShane & Associates will continue to work to improve the service they provide and the services you need • Although I am pleased with what we have accomplished ,we are not satisfied • With your help and cooperation we will do better in the years to come
State of the Association • Closing Remarks – • We hope this has been an informative evening for you and we appreciate your attention • Thank You………….for taking the time to be with us tonight
