All,
The emails sent to this discussion group are to help facilitate 
communication between residents and owners.  Communication has always been 
an issue and many of us are actively working to remediate the problems. To 
improve the communication between the board of directors and the residents 
in the building, members of the board will often post information for 
general consumption.  The board formally does not subscribe to the 
discussion group because it is not moderated and not everyone subscribes. 
It is used as an informal channel of communication and will always be 
treated as such.
The board of directors has setup a website and email addresses for all 
residents to use as a formal communication channel.  Website and email 
addresses are now posted in the building on the bulletin boards in the 
front and rear of the building.

condoboard@1250westvanburen.com
Our property managers contact information is also posted.  All 
communication to the property management is relayed to the board.  This is 
yet another formal line of communication to the Board of Directors.

I encourage all residents to use the proper formal communication channels 
to contact the board and property management.
In regards to the dog problems, the majority of the dog owners in our 
building are responsible individuals.  There are a select few residents in 
the building that do not act as responsible pet owners and create the 
majority of the problems.  Yes, it is true that other people in the area 
do walk their dogs around our building, but again the majority of the 
problems come from Vangaurd Lofts.  In the immediate vicinity, there are 
only a few buildings that could potentially contribute to this problem. 
Very few pet owners will travel more than a block or two when walking 
their dog.
From time to time you will see friendly reminders to pick up after your 
dog, adhere to the visitor parking rules, etc.  These are information 
bulletins being posted to help everyone.
A statement was recently made on the discussion forum that action is not 
being take.  A resident said, "these emails about the dogs and the cars 
are totally useless since I never see any action taken for anything."
The Board of Directors is being proactive about the dog problem and the 
visitor parking problems.  Visitor parking spaces are actively being 
monitor and cars are being towed.  At the last board meeting a resident 
went before the board to discuss a violation of the visitor parking rules 
and regulations.  The Board of Directors and Property Management are now 
actively monitoring the security cameras to seek out residents violating 
the pet rules and regulations.  If anyone knows of a problem, it is your 
responsibility as a resident to report it.  Reports can be submitted in 
written or electronic format to the Board of Directors and/or Property 
Management.  With the new video security system in place, it is now 
possible to recall video surveillance on any time and date.
I encourage all residents of Vanguard Lofts to attend the quarterly board 
meetings, and most importantly report all problems.  Formal complaints 
need to be filed in order for the Board of Directors to issue fines. 
Posting general gripes to the discussion forum does not solve the problem. 
 If someone truly has a complaint, all the proper components are in place 
for a resident to report the violation so the Board of Directors can issue 
fines.
I would like to personally thank the responsible dog owners in the 
building that go above and beyond the call of "duty" when walking their 
dogs.  I appreciate your efforts.
Best regards,
Chris

Re: CORRECTION: Re: Dogs, surveillance, and such
i agree totally with Dom. I am too am a dog owner and know that most of us 
are totally responsible. Dont forget that people that dont live in this 
building walk their dogs over here too. 
  I agree with Dom that we do a lot of talking and not a  lot of action. 
these emails about the dogs and the cars are totally useless since I never 
see any action taken for anything.
  Its enough already.

As a dog owner, I thinks its time to go after the individuals who do these 
things. I know a lot of the dog owners in this building, and none of us 
poop in the grass, alley, or by the back door. We also would never leave 
anything not picked up. I think there are one or two people responsible 
for 
this, and they don't read emails or care. Blanket emails complaining to 
all 
of us responsible dog owners isn't going to help anything. Do you think 
the 
people who leave a steaming pile of crap in the parkway don't know they're 
not supposed to. They don't care! You can put up signs and emails until 
you're blue in the face. Everyone needs to keep an eye out and confront 
this person or people.
