Give me just a moment, Chris. I'll pull up that document. Thank you. Yeah.
02:28
Speaker A
So, forgive me all. I'm having just a little bit of a slow computer here to pull that up. Give me just a moment. If Holly, can you shoot that over to me very quickly again? I'm having some difficulty with my file share.

Okay. Zoom mute, sir. I'm asking you to unmute yourself. Can you please reveal your identity?
05:14

Holly. Yes. Yeah. Let's just do that so we can keep moving along.
05:54

Okay. Okay, if we're ready to begin having problems doing that.
06:01
Speaker A
Chris, can I make you co-host and you can try? Yes, because it is not working for me.

Yes. Yes. And the time is now 6:10. Um, we'll begin with the nomination and appointment of board officers.

07:55

Holly, you still with us? Okay, we have a nomination, a motion from Rich, a second from Chrissy. Um, I'm just going to go in order how I see you on the screen.
08:04
Speaker A
Okay, what is the question? Would you like to vote in favor of Chris Benton as president? Would you like to abstain or would you like to vote against?
08:15
Speaker A
I would like to propose myself to go for the president. We have a motion on the floor, so we have to finish with this motion first.
08:20
Speaker A
So, how would you like on this motion? Abstain. I'll abstain on that motion. Yes.
08:30
Speaker A
Okay. Thank you. Uh, Kate, uh, yes. Okay. Uh, Chrissy, you seconded in. Christine. Yes.
08:46
Speaker A
Okay. Kesha. I know I'm thinking right. Uh, I'm gonna say no. Okay. Thank you. Uh, who is this? Lauren, please.
09:12
Speaker A
Yes. Kathy. Kathy, are you with us? Come on, people. Did she leave? Don't see Kathy on the call. Am I missing it?
09:20
Speaker A
I don't see her either. We can do a no vote. I'll put her down for—oh, she's reentering.
09:31
Speaker A
Oh, okay. We'll give it just a moment. I meant a non-vote, not a no vote.
09:53
Speaker A
Kathy, are you with us now? Holly, I think you have to mute Violet Herby. There's feedback or something coming, or—and if we could please ask Kathy to unmute.
10:03
Speaker A
95. Kathy, we have a motion on the floor. Were you able to hear that?
10:12
Speaker A
Oh, no. What is it? There was a motion to nominate Chris Banton as president and we're taking roll call on that.
10:40
Speaker A
I abstain. You abstain. Holly, can you give me a total count, please?
10:52
Speaker A
Um, yes. We have two abstain and five supporters and one no and one no.
11:00
Speaker A
Oh, okay. Four supporters, one no, two abstentions. And I vote in the affirmative for myself. Thank you, Chris. I'm sorry. My apologies.
11:07
Speaker A
And I vote yes as well since I made the motion. Yes. Thank you. So, motion carries. So, welcome Chris as our new president.
11:19
Speaker A
Thank you. Thank you. I'd like to nominate Rich Norman as vice president. I'll second that.
11:32
Speaker A
This is Lauren. Thank you, Lauren. Okay. Uh, we'll go to Cher again, please. I'll abstain.
11:44
Speaker A
Thank you, Kate. Yes, Chrissy. Yes. Christine, yes. Chris, you made the motion. I'm assuming you're a yes.
12:06
Speaker A
Yes. Tesa. Yes. And Lauren? Yes. And Kathy? Yes. As well. Are we going to have any discussion here?
12:24
Speaker A
No. Apparently not. No. No discussion. Well, then we usually don't, but you know, if you have something short to say, I suppose you could, but we don't usually do that.
12:29
Speaker A
I just want clarity on was there any participation or any involvement in being a party to a lawsuit with discrimination with Mr. Norman?
12:47
Speaker A
What? I've never heard of anything like that. So I have no idea what you're talking about.
13:00
Speaker A
Yeah. I don't know what you're bringing up. There was a discrimination lawsuit from someone on a lower level. I don't know if that rings any bells.
13:12
Speaker A
That's all private information from executive sessions. We can't discuss that. And he is not part of anything, right?
13:24
Speaker A
So, but if someone is a potential risk and has caused or been a part of a discrimination lawsuit,
13:38
Speaker A
I'm just wondering if they know any of the facts. How do we—You don't know. No one knows the facts about any of that. You can't just assume and throw out—
13:47
Speaker A
Can you guys fill us in if we don't know, please? Well, this, as I said, it's a legal matter that was executive sessions in the past. Half the board members on here were not even on the board then.
13:55
Speaker A
Is there a board member that knows more about this? I really think it's a moot point. So, let's move on.
14:02
Speaker A
Move on. Made her statement. Let's just move on to the next office. And I'd like to nominate Lauren Freeman as treasurer.
14:13
Speaker A
I will second that. Thank you. Uh, Kathy, we'll start with you this time. We'll go backwards.
14:27
Speaker A
Yes. Thank you. Um, we're going to move on to Lauren. Yes. Thank you, Kesha.
14:43
Speaker A
Yes. Hey, Chris. I'm assuming you're correct. Thank you, Christine. Yes. Chrissy. Yes. Kate, yes.
14:56
Speaker A
Rich, yes. And to please. I'll abstain. Thank you. Also, Rita, I'm sorry to interrupt again, but back to the other vote that we took for Rich Norman,
15:13
Speaker A
or not Rich Norman. Um, yes, Rich Norman, the vice president. Kathy, did you abstain, say no, or yes to that?
15:23
Speaker A
Oh, abstain. Okay, thank you. Okay, thanks. Terrific. All right, thank you. And our last office is for secretary, please.
15:33
Speaker A
I'd like to nominate Kate Kirby. I'll second that. Mrs. Lauren. Thank you, Lauren. Kathy.
15:54
Speaker A
Yes. Thank you. Uh, Lauren, you're a yes. Yes. Pasha, I'll abstain. Thank you, Chris.
16:09
Speaker A
Yes. Great. Christine, yes. Thank you, Chrissy. Yes. Kate, yes. Great. And to please, I'll abstain.
16:26
Speaker A
Okay. Correct me if I'm wrong. By my count, that motion carries. So, thank you and welcome to your new board officers, everyone.
16:32
Speaker A
Thank you, Rita and Holly. I did talk to Michael Shiffren today and he said that he needs us to vote on a legal liaison. Someone talk to him.
16:41
Speaker A
Thank you, Lauren. I appreciate you bringing that to our attention. Would somebody like to make a motion for the nomination of the legal liaison on behalf of the board?
16:54
Speaker A
Isn't that usually the president of the board or did we change that? That it doesn't have to be.
17:18
Speaker A
Oh, okay. Thanks. But I would nominate Chris Banton as the president to be the lead legal liaison.
17:32
Speaker A
Yeah, I'll second that. Okay, how do you vote? I'll abstain. Thank you, Rich. Yes.
17:50
Speaker A
Great. Kate, you're Chrissy? Yes. Great. Christine, yes. Chris, yes. Kasha, yes. But I'm going to add a note. I believe that our D&O insurance requires that—requires what?
17:57
Speaker A
I believe that the D&O insurance requires that by the coverage for the president that they be that liaison if we're calling it out for specifics part of. I'll just note that and we can move on.
18:12
Speaker A
I'm still—Thank you, Lauren. Uh, yes. Great. And Kathy abstain. Thank you.
18:27
Speaker A
behave and I have for one signed this and we'll be turning it into the office and I'm hoping everyone else will cons also consider to do that.
18:35
Speaker A
Christine Carr did all this work so I would like for her to kind of chime in on why it's important and if you could do that Christine.
18:44
Speaker A
Hi thanks so much. Um, one of my, uh, trainings is on conflict resolution. That's what I do a lot in my regular job. And when you get into a situation where there's a large group of people and a lot of people are a lot more
19:00
Speaker A
invested in the conflict than they are in the solution, sometimes a really powerful thing you can do is go back to basics and remind everyone why we're doing what we're doing and who we're doing it for and how we treat each
19:13
Speaker A
other. Um, I would hope that if I am on the wrong side of a vote or a vote that I don't agree with and I don't win my case, I will respect the person who does get the vote. And whatever the decision
19:29
Speaker A
is, after the decision is made, I'm not going to be coming up to them at the pool and yelling at them and talking to them about how I disagree about whatever it is. I'm going to be someone who will respect everybody's
19:44
Speaker A
wishes and everybody's space in our community. And so I put that together. I didn't write it. It's a template that's put out by the IDFPR.
19:53
Speaker A
Um it's not my words. It's the words that are expected by every board, you know, in every city across the globe.
20:01
Speaker A
So, I just hope that given all the contention that's gone on over the last couple years that we can come together and focus on solutions and treat each other with respect and like we do all of our neighbors. And I hope that's what's
20:15
Speaker A
going to happen. So, thank you for giving me a chance to to say that.
20:20
Speaker A
Thank you, Christie. Well said. So, I'll be turning mine in um to the office and if everyone else would I would appreciate if everyone else could could sign uh consider it. I think it's a good tool to allow us to move on even
20:37
Speaker A
in our most of disagreements. Um after all, we are here to uh work in the best interest of the association.
20:44
Speaker A
Can the board adopt it through a motion and vote or no? Chrissy, what Christine, what do you think? I I certainly not in the position to force anybody to do anything they don't want to do, but I I just strongly encourage
21:00
Speaker A
everybody to consider it that serves on the board. Okay. I just treat talking with your doctor.
21:10
Speaker A
Got a lot of feedback from Violet. If somebody could mute her, I think there's a TV on.
21:19
Speaker A
Thank you. All right. Um, I think our first order of business ought to be to discuss uh the motions that need to be made in open session concerning a incident report that was given um based on some behavior that was
21:35
Speaker A
unacceptable. So, would someone like to make that motion to have the attorney engage into some violation letters to be sent?
21:49
Speaker A
I'll make the motion. What? Sure. Exactly. Is the wording? Yeah, I don't know the wording.
21:55
Speaker A
Close a clo, excuse me, a closed session vote in open session should be very vague. It's item number four to approve the board's consensus.
22:08
Speaker A
I motion to approve item number four. I second it. the right wording. I don't Okay, perfect. Perfect. Any discussion?
22:24
Speaker A
Yes, I have a comment on it. Certainly. Go ahead, Toader. Is this uh the the motion that you guys just did? Is it for uh so-called incident for April 13 to 26?
22:37
Speaker A
Yes, that is correct. All righty. Can I comment on it because I see three pages in open session.
22:47
Speaker A
Um, not in open session. No. Okay, I'm going to do roll call. Christine Carr, how do you vote?
22:59
Speaker A
Here. Yay. Okay. Rich Norman, how do you vote? Yes. Chrissy, how do you vote?
23:05
Speaker A
Yes. Kate, how do you vote? Yes. Lauren, how do you vote? Yes. Kathy McCartley, how do you vote?
23:17
Speaker A
I'm sorry, Kathy. Abstain. Thank you. And I vote yes. You forgot Kesha. Kesha, excuse me, Kesha, how do you uh I I'm a yes also.
23:31
Speaker A
Thank you. Motion passes. The last item of business, I believe, or next to last item of business is the flooring. Um Chris, yes. Go ahead.
23:42
Speaker A
Excuse me. Can we back up and get um formal votes on items one, two, and three as well from close session?
23:55
Speaker A
Oh, on the asbestous remediation. Yes. Okay. And the um 2H leak into uh from 3H. Is that what you're talking about?
24:06
Speaker A
Yes. Thank you. Yes, that's item one. So um item one is three H's uh asbesus remediation. Um can I get a motion to approve?
24:19
Speaker A
I'll motion to approve that vendor to immediately start with the asbestous remediation for 3H.
24:28
Speaker A
That's AMNG Environmental Inc. Thank you. And I second it. Any discussion? discussion. Kathy, you have something you need to add?
24:41
Speaker A
Uh, clarification only. So, yes, ma'am. This I know the association is responsible for drywall and up to code of primer.
24:52
Speaker A
So, is that why this is on the table for cons for a vote? It's in the common area that has to be uh remediated. That is correct. That's why it's on the floor to vote because of the association's drywall
25:06
Speaker A
contained it, right? Correct. Correct. Okay. Thanks for the clarification. You're welcome. Christine Carr, how do you vote?
25:17
Speaker A
Yes. Thank you. Let me get my list of folks here quick. Rich Norman, how do you vote?
25:24
Speaker A
Yes. Christine Turner, how do you vote? Yes. Kirby, how do you vote? Yes. Lauren Freriedman, how do you vote?
25:34
Speaker A
Yes. Kesha, how do you vote? Yes. Thank you. Kathy McCarti, how do you vote?
25:43
Speaker A
Yes. Thank you. Tot, how do you vote? Yes. Thank you. And I also vote yes. This passes unanimously.
25:53
Speaker A
2H has suffered damage because of the uh backup into 3H's unit and she is asking to hire her own vendor not to exceed I believe $2,400. Is that correct?
26:08
Speaker A
25 $2,500. Correct. So, I would entertain a motion to approve this work to be done with some stipulations, including insurance to be provided and that there's a waiver of responsibility from the association and board of directors not to exceed
26:26
Speaker A
$2,500. I'll second that. This is Lauren. Thank you. Any discussion? No. Hearing none, we'll call for the vote. Christine Carr, how do you vote?
26:40
Speaker A
Yes. Rich Norman, how do you vote? Yes. Chrissy Kerner, how do you vote? Yes.
26:47
Speaker A
Kate Kirby, how do you vote? Yes. Lauren Freriedman, how do you vote? Yes. Kesha, how do you vote?
26:56
Speaker A
Yes. Toar, how do you vote? Yes. Thank you. I also vote yes. That passes unanimously.
27:05
Speaker A
No one asked me. I'm sorry, Kathy. I'm sorry. Thank you. Thank you very much. I apologize, Kathy.
27:14
Speaker A
No problem. Thank you. Um, the last item of business, I think, at this point, is the flooring. Is that right, Holly?
27:25
Speaker A
Yes. Two two remain two remaining items. There's a first right of refusal and the flooring.
27:32
Speaker A
All right. So, Chrissy, do you want to explain the flooring or do you want me to try to go through it?
27:37
Speaker A
I actually um it's my understanding that there was one last item that was in question and that was the thickness of the material and Holly secured that. So I was going to let her present the number and then
27:52
Speaker A
Okay. I believe the last board I don't know Chris direct me here if we can carry that over to this board would just go ahead and vote since it was a half a three quarter done decision. I don't
28:06
Speaker A
know. I think we just do another vote just to be clear just to keep it clean.
28:10
Speaker A
That's what I think we should do. All right. Then I'll give this board a brief explanation. Holly, if you don't mind.
28:16
Speaker A
Sure. Okay. So, we went ahead with the asbestous remediation that's completed in the recck room. And this this is for all of our owners as well. And now we were settling on a floor. And there was um quite a bit of back and forth on
28:32
Speaker A
different materials to use. Uh we looked at leaving cement. We uh recently looked at porcelain tile. One one owner was suggesting that. But the most cost effective and longlasting solution is this LVP. So then Holly and I secured
28:52
Speaker A
along with Kate some contractors. They sent the three quotes. We wanted to make sure we had apples to apples as far as warranty material being used.
29:03
Speaker A
uh you know everything kind of compared. So we've settled on this contractor that Holly will speak about. She's worked with them before and we were just waiting for one detail which was the thickness of the material which she now
29:18
Speaker A
has. So Holly, I'll turn it to you. Okay. So thank you. Um there are three bidters. The first bidder is EAH Custom Construction. By the way, in your packet, what I sent subsequent to sending out the packet was additional
29:37
Speaker A
items and it included this information, the proposals, and also a bid summary, uh, comprehensive report on these three bids. Um, but there are three vendors, excuse me. The lowest bid is $9,085 from EAH Custom Construction. The ne next the highest bid is flooring
30:08
Speaker A
covering flooring floor coverings international at 9769 and also carpetry and remodeling at 10,200. The um all bids include removal and replacement of the refrigerator. All bids include leveling and pitching the existing floor. Um all materials include luxury uh plank luxury vinyl plank
30:41
Speaker A
flooring with corkback materials for softer and warmer walk. Um, all bids include removal and installation of new baseboards. All bids include luxury vinyl, plank, waterproof, scratch proof. Um, the thicknesses of the materials. EA EAH is 22 mills. Uh,
31:11
Speaker A
carpentry remodeling is 22 ms. floor coverings international is 20 mills. Um, EAH C uh custom construction has a 20 year commercial warranty.
31:32
Speaker A
Um, carpentry remodeling 20 year limited commercial warranty. and a half except EAH which proposes uh four and a quarter witness. Um, all three contractors in their initial proposal requested a down payment or 50% down or a materials down payment.
32:09
Speaker A
Because I've worked extensively with EAH, he's agreed to wave any money up front. My recommendation is EAH.
32:22
Speaker A
Thank you. Do we have a motion? I'll entertain a motion. I'll make the motion to move forward recommend eh um to replace the floor once we make a selection.
32:37
Speaker A
They'll provide samples as and you can choose color that gray stuff down there. But anyway, okay. Yeah, I'll make the motion Chris E uh custom what is it?
32:52
Speaker A
construction construction to go ahead um approve this bid to replace the flooring for how much?
33:01
Speaker A
9,8585. Excellent. Do I have a second to that motion? I'll second. Thank you, Rich.
33:10
Speaker A
Any discussion? Discussion. How how are we paying for this operations or capital? Do we have the funds?
33:21
Speaker A
my understanding. I'll let Lauren um talk to that. We have a budget this year, but I'll let her speak to that real quick.
33:27
Speaker A
In our budget, we have $30,000 for remediation in our capital budget. Um that that was meant for both asbestous removal, which is already done. Um and uh new flooring and you know, anything else that would be needed like walls.
33:49
Speaker A
Um, so that was 30,000. I believe the asbestous was approximately 10,000. This will be approximately 10,000 and then we'll have an additional 10,000 well within the budget.
34:05
Speaker A
Okay, great. Thank you, Lauren. You're welcome. Any other discussion? I'm gonna call for the vote. Christine Carr, how do you vote?
34:16
Speaker A
Yay. Rich Norman, how do you vote? Yes. Gracie Kerner, how do you vote? Yes.
34:25
Speaker A
Kate Kirby, how do you vote? Yes. Lauren Freeman, how do you vote? Yes. Kesha, how do you vote?
34:34
Speaker A
Yes. Kathy McCartney, how do you vote? Yes. And Toter, how do you vote? Yes.
34:42
Speaker A
Thank you. I'll also vote yes. This passes unanimously. Um before our last item of business would be the uh right of first refusal for I think 6K. Is that what it is, Holly?
34:56
Speaker A
Correct. Yes. Um I interviewed the potential buyer. Um she plans to make this her primary resident residence and stay for a longevity of time. The purchase price was $279. The AE closed on Monday of this week.
35:19
Speaker A
So, we're ratifying this for her. Okay, perfect. I'll entertain a motion to ratify the purchase and to wave the right of first refusal for 6K.
35:30
Speaker A
No second. Okay. Any discussion about this? I don't think so. It's pretty Yeah, I just have a quick happened if we had voted against it because they've already sold and signed.
35:42
Speaker A
the association would have to purchase the unit. Okay. That's what rat when you ratify something, Kesha, that means that it took place already and the board is approving it.
35:58
Speaker A
You know, if it if they didn't close yet, it would just be a motion to wave the right of first refusal. But in this case, it's ratification.
36:07
Speaker A
Thank you, Kate, for the explanation. I appreciate it. Uh, in which case, yes. Okay.
36:13
Speaker A
I just want to know. Any other discussion? Perfect. I'll call for the vote. Christine Carr, how do you vote?

Speaker A
Yes. Kathy McCartney, how do you vote? Yes. Toar, how do you vote? Yes. Perfect. This passes unanimously.
36:48
Speaker A
Any other business? Holly? No. Um, before we adjourn, I would like to have the board uh consider the walls and the paneling in the recreation room and to see if we can come up with a plan to get those
37:05
Speaker A
taken down and put up some drywall if we have the money to do it. That would have to fall on Lauren's shoulders to figure out. They look pretty bad.
37:14
Speaker A
Um, and I'd also like to direct that we will have inperson meetings beginning our May meeting.
37:23
Speaker A
They will be, unless anyone has objections to this, on the third Thursday of the month.
37:31
Speaker A
I think they're fourth Thursday. We're doing third because there's not always a fourth Thursday.
37:38
Speaker A
Okay. It prevents us from having to move it. Okay. I would like to consider a later time so absolutely people that work uh I don't you know take off work rush in traffic it everyone should have we should have a
37:54
Speaker A
later time agreed I I believe six o'clock is sufficient anybody disagree with six o'clock depends on executive session time that would be for executive yes yes oh so wait you're starting execs at six that is correct unless there's some
38:10
Speaker A
objection I don't see any reason to start it any earlier. I agree. And then we can This gives everybody time to get where they need to be. We're going to be in person in the recck room.
38:21
Speaker A
It may be concrete till the floor gets done, but we're going to do it in person.
38:24
Speaker A
Yep. We made promises before and it failed on that, but we're not going to do that anymore. So, any other business before the board?
38:35
Speaker A
Did you say you wanted to talk about the paneling and the I do I would like to check the price or whatever or I would like for something to be done. I would like some pricing if we can do it.
38:46
Speaker A
I had actually suggested that Ned might be able to do it, but it's it's a big job and them sheets of paneling of of drywall are heavy and it's a big job.
38:57
Speaker A
It's at least two jobs getting um quotes and stuff. Um say that again, Lauren.
39:04
Speaker A
I think some someone needs to spearhead getting quotes just like the flooring. I think Holly can handle that.
39:10
Speaker A
Do that. Yeah. Yeah, I can help you, Holly, if you need any assistance. Okay, thank you.
39:20
Speaker A
And one last thing, Holly, can we get the recck room open and put stuff back in place? I mean, asbestous is gone, so there's no danger.
39:28
Speaker A
Yeah, it tested the air quality test is is completely safe. Yes. Okay. I I forgot something, Chris. I'm sorry.
39:36
Speaker A
Go ahead, Kate. Go ahead. Uh, Cinco de Mayo is coming up on May 5th and we're going to have a a little party. So, we were planning if it's nice to have it out on the patio, but if we're opening
39:49
Speaker A
up the room, that's great. It won't look the best, but we can have it inside if it's raining or something. But it'll be from 5 to 7.
39:59
Speaker A
And um, it's on Tuesday, May 5th. And we're going to put a flyer out so everybody knows. We have it every year.
40:07
Speaker A
Everyone enjoys it. Perfect. Lauren, did you have a piece of information you wanted to speak to really quick?
40:15
Speaker A
I just wanted to speak really quickly um and just kind of uh verbalize a reminder that things like the almost the $4,200 uh asbestous removal for 3H, the $2,500 um ceiling repair for 2. you know, these are all things that are not part of our
40:36
Speaker A
budget, um, but are needed and we've voted on, you know, to do that. And I I just kind of wanted to remind both the the board and residents um that these are the types of things that bring us, you know, overbudget at
40:56
Speaker A
the end of the year is that these things come up and and as a reminder, we budget to zero. So when these things come up, you know, these bring us over budget.
41:08
Speaker A
That's all. Thank you. Thank you. So maybe we need to pull the wreck walls on hold until we know where we really are on our budget.
41:17
Speaker A
Well, that's why that's why we're going to get proposals and then Lauren's going to do the investigative part on where we are with our funds and whether it can be done or not.
41:24
Speaker A
And to your point, if it can't be done, it just can't be done. You're right.
41:27
Speaker A
Very good. I'll entertain a motion to adjurnn. Lauren. All those in favor. Thank you.
41:41
Speaker A
Thank you everybody. Our next meeting is when? Before we go. It's going to be May 21st.
41:55
Speaker A
Executive session will be at 6. Open session will be after depending on how much as an executive will determine the start time for the open meeting.
42:07
Speaker A
All right. Thank you very much. Good. Thank you everybody. Thank you. Bye. Bye. Bye bye.
