ACTION ITEMS:
Minutes of the October 26, 2004 Board Meeting were approved.
Due to Arbor's aging sewer lines, Dave Pollard presented a contract from Lateral Liners, Inc. to implement a lateral sewer lining project spanning approximately 8 ½ years at the cost of $62,500 per year for sewer upgrading. The Board discussed the option of approving the contract or to continue with its present plan of sewer replacement on an as-needed basis. The latter option guarantees a much higher expenditure outlay, so the Board proceeded with consideration of the Lateral Liners contract. Some language will need clarification, mainly defining the specific sewer lining components included in the $62,500 per year cost, along with the per-year-cost not to exceed $62,500. A motion was made and seconded to accept the proposed lateral sewer lining contract with Lateral Liners, Inc. as amended.

to report.
Jincy Boerner, Treasurer: Monthly financials are in order. Anne Plante of Singleton & Bardowski is
working on the audit.
MANAGEMENT REPORT
Dave
Pollard presented the matter of the pool security alarm. The alarm is monitored for $308/year and has
not been activated in 10 years. The pool
is currently double locked, and due to no violations of that security for many
years, the Board agreed to disable the pool security alarm.
Dave
Pollard raised the issue of renovations to the Management Unit (i.e.,
crown-molding, chair rails, painting, carpet replacement, new chairs and
couch). Following a discussion, the
Board approved the renovations to be performed by the Arbor maintenance staff
at a reasonable expense.
Mike
Maloney tabled a discussion regarding the recent letter sent by the Arbor's
attorneys regarding the Association's responsibility for replacing common unit
property due to needed maintenance. This
letter will be kept on file to serve as a guideline to Arbor and its
responsibility for future common unit property replacement.
OLD BUSINESS
There was
no old business.
NEW BUSINESS
Due to
the reorganization of the Finance Committee,
Jincy Boerner presented a revised Code of Ethics for the Board of
Directors/Finance Committee. The Board
discussed the content of the document, revised some language for clarification,
and approved the revised Code of Ethics.
There was
a motion to adjourn the meeting, seconded, and the meeting was adjourned at
8:00 pm.
