Professional Presentations/Question-Answer Session/Action Item
ADA Architectural Plans- Pamela Heyne
The
lift for the Lauren’s front lobby was ordered, and will take approximately 6-8
weeks for delivery. The Board also asked Ms. Heyne to secure the services of the
contractor to install the list. As
a related matter, the Board approved updating the railings in the front lobby to
make them ADA compatible.
Roof & Roofgarden Plans - Susan Fyffe
The
Board approved the following roof items: metal coping is to continue down to the
pavers and the design of the roof trellis. The Board once again asked for more
options for the planters.
Review Status and Discussion Items
Heating and Air Conditioning Operation Since G&L Began Maintenance
G&L
evaluated the system and performed the following maintenance.
They fixed the smaller boiler that had not been working.
They also replaced parts in the larger boiler (there is still an
unresolved problem that has been challenging to pinpoint, i.e., the boiler shuts
off intermittently). The temperature has varied between 99-130 degrees which is
much more understandable than the previous ranges from 60 to 136.
The next project for G&L will be evaluating the air conditioner.
Request
for Installation of a washer and dryer in the unit
The
Board postponed a decision on this request in order to secure further
information from the unit owner and from the Lauren’s contractors on the
possible affects on the drainage pipes and electrical systems in the building
and to ensure the proposed equipment is consistent with DC in-unit venting and other
regulations.
Meeting Adjournment
The
meeting adjourned at 8:55 pm. An executive session followed.
Next Meeting
The
next meeting of the Board of Directors was scheduled for April 25, 2002 at 7pm.
Respectfully Submitted
