Hi Alex!
Thanks for putting this together. The agenda looks good! Below are a few
items I would like to see added.
1. Discuss the reserve study and the reason for holding off on major
financial decisions. Maybe this should be mentioned at the top of the
meeting. I added it to the calendar invite but it's worth reiterating it.
We can also mention we're in constant contact with CMA regarding the
completion of the study.
2. Address why concerns haven't been addressed as quickly. Example, Unit
503 was discussed during the March meeting. They sent me a text last week
and that's when I noticed I realized it still wasn't addressed. We can
mention all the turn over in CMA as well as the turn over the board had
last year did not help either.
3. I noticed you mentioned the committees. Tiffany gave me the list during
March's meeting. I scan and email that tomorrow to this group. Not sure if
I mentioned adding minutes, facts, bylaws, etc, to some sort of Google
shared network but that would be something beneficial for the
communications committee to take on. Often times neighbors ask questions
that have already been addressed. If they had an area they could refer to
that would be helpful.
4. Address the question about the clear flange, or whatever it's called,
in the compactor. Clarify that only the outside of the compactor was to be
painted. CMA can fill us in on the options they presented to us. The
options are as follows. It's a copy and paste from Kyle's email. Option 3
seemed like the best option but Kyle was waiting for more details and to
determine if it could even be done. But again, this wouldn't be voted on
until the reserve study is complete.
I am still trying to figure out a solution for the trash that is thrown
down the chute when the compactor/container is being emptied. Here are our
options:
1. *Do nothing* - The drivers are supposed to pick up any trash and put
it in the dumpster before reconnecting. The turnaround on emptying the
containers is only a couple of hours and we shouldn't have that much trash
in that short amount of time. I will also ask the janitorial staff to keep
area clean.
2. *Install a lock on chute door (less than $200) – *To do this we would
need a designated “trash monitor” to go out and lock the chute when the
container is full. Unfortunately, we know that residents will likely just
leave their garbage on the ground in front of the chute or throw it into a
recycling container. We could potentially supply the “trash monitor” with a
95gal trash can to place in front of the chute to collect trash while
locked. That is a lot of work for a volunteer to do though.
3. *Install a slide barrier in chute (more than $200) –* This installed
in a lot of high-rises to prevent trash from falling into compactor while
being serviced (see attached). I am not sure if this
<https://maps.google.com/?q=1465+Northside+Drive,+STE+128,+Atlanta,+GA+30318+%0D%0A+Georgia&entry=gmail&source=g>is
even possible do to space restrictions, slope of the chute or if it is even
cost effective. I know it will be more than $200, but I would need to get a
quote to find out how much.
Tiffany is brining the key to the mail box display and my purple board. In
the past more neighbors emailed me to get on the distribution list as
contact information was listed there. I can go ahead and start adding info
and contact info there once I get the key.
I'll also have my questions about the financials ready. I already wrote 99%
of them down on Friday. I'll scan them in tomorrow in hopes of CMA being
able to fully address them during the meeting.
Thanks and enjoy the remainder of your weekend!
Kelli
Ps: Thanks for being on top of the parking!

Hi everyone,-Think Good Thoughts
I've attached what I'd like to cover during Monday's 6:30PM meeting. If
everything goes well, we should be able to quickly move through the
agenda. We'll end with reviewing the CMA leasing program contract. In
total, I anticipate 75 minutes. I've tabled a few topics until our July
meeting, since the topics involve spending money or we aren't yet ready
to talk about them.
Also, Kyle Scroggs received a promotion and will be leaving us. He may
or may not be at Monday's meeting. Dennis Hoffman might join us to help
with the transition. I didn't remember the full name of our new
property manager, but I think her first name is Claire. We knew that
Kyle's time with us would be relatively short, and I'm glad that he was
able to help us with some of the issues our community was facing. We
wish you well in your new position!
Thanks,
Alex
