Jonathan,
The bike tags were ordered after the last board meeting. In an effort to
address other needs to label items in the building, the board has also
purchased labels for the storage lockers and the roof top air conditioning
units. The labels have not yet been attached due to a decision to try and
reduce association direct costs. If we have the building maintenance
staff install the labels, the association will be charged for the time. In
an effort to get more of the home owners in the community involved, we
have decided to try and make an effort to secure volunteers to affix the
labels for the bike storage room.
The board was hoping this could be a simple project that could involve the
home owners and help build the community and bring everyone closer
together. If you are willing to volunteer your time, we would enjoy
having you involved with the project. If you are willing to take on a
leadership role and run the project, please contact the board of directors
in a private email and we'll setup a time to meet.
Thanks for all your input.
- Chris

meetings -meeting needs?
The suggestion to come to a board meeting and explain and/or vent a
problem is one way of communicating the needs its members. I was at the
June meeting and expressed a congestion problem with the bikes etc and the
need for labels above each hook. I was told it was already being looked
into and new hooks will be installed asap. We are still waiting. This
unusual amount of time to get estimates and have simple unit number plates
installed does not give one a great deal of confidence in this process.
