ACTION ITEMS:

 

Minutes of the January 25, 2005 Board Meeting were approved.

 

REPORT OF OFFICERS:

 

Marilyn Beck, VP Community Affairs:  The Arlington Country Board's decision to advertise their franchising proposal for taking over the trash collection in "multi-family" areas has been rescheduled for the March 12 Board Meeting.  The public is invited to comment at the meeting.  The official public hearing is scheduled for May 7, 2005.  For a more detailed report, it is recommended to visit www.fairlington.org/ArlingtonSWMP.htm.

 

Wendy Deker, VP Grounds:  A resident of Court 1 suffered a fall due to an uneven sidewalk and requested it be repaired.   "Green Thumb" volunteers for spring landscape work have been contacted.  A notice will be put in the Newsletter soliciting additional volunteers.  Tree replacement will be considered for spring planting in Courts 2 and 12.

 

Yvonne Calzada, VP Buildings:  Roof replacement in Court 3, units 3528-3546, is scheduled to begin next month.  The project is estimated to last approximately one to two months.

 

Jincy Boerner, Treasurer:  There was a concern why the Management Unit was indicated on the delinquent report for condo fees.  Mike Maloney explained that an adjustment was not made for the new year.  The matter has been resolved.

 

MANAGEMENT REPORT

 

Dave Pollard had nothing to report.

 

Mike Maloney reported that our delinquency report is much improved and commended the residents of Arbor for their attention to condo fee payment. 

 

It was suggested that a reminder be placed in the April Newsletter regarding personal homeowner's insurance.  Homeowners would be prudent to have their personal homeowners insurance policy to help offset expenses not covered in the Arbor's Master Homeowners Insurance Policy.

 

OLD BUSINESS

 

A discussion continued on the solid waste franchising study by Arlington County to take over trash collection in multi-family communities.  Arlington County responded to the letter sent on behalf of Fairlington Arbor outlining the tentative timeline for implementing the proposal.  The potential for disrupting the present 6-day trash collection service is in jeopardy.  Arbor residents are urged to get involved with this issue by contacting the County with their concerns.

 

There was a discussion regarding an issue with Lateral Liners, Inc. in another village.  The Board is unclear of the details of the problem and will monitor the situation.

 

NEW BUSINESS

 

No new business.

 

There was a motion to adjourn the meeting, seconded, and the meeting was adjourned at

8:05 pm.
