Property Manager Report

The rhododendrons in courtyard of Building 2 need replacing.  The Board approved this expense.

Other optional cosmetic improvements to this area will be the responsibility of the homeowners.

Dan presented  estimates of cost of new hot water heaters, which are the responsibility of homeowners.    He will get more information and  the Board will consider the issue at a working meeting.

A total of 74 trees were pruned during January and early February.  Gardens were cleaned up as well as grounds between buildings.  This means we are ahead of schedule for the year.

Extensive  repair to the roof on Building 3 is necessary due to a leak.  The Board approved  using Cloise and Mike Construction, who had the lowest bid, to do this work.

Dan has researched  t he problem of bat control and has  found a company that will come to Jefferson County.    He will  develop some cost information   and the Board will make a decision on whether to proceed
