Rosemary shared the maintenance log for the active projects underway in Crawford Bay.

After asking Carole Garrett her opinion, the board agreed to wait to close in the ceiling on the second floor of unit 109 until the source of a newly discovered 3rd floor leak was identified and then repaired. We asked Carole to speak with Ms. Buxton for her decision prior to proceeding.

Franklin commented to the board that it was important for all work to receive 3 bids prior to award. Concerns were voiced that in the case of the fence and shed rehabs, that this process might slow turn around time and potentially result in conflicts with our existing maintenance contract.

Rosemary shared a letter with the board that was sent to Araden directing Les to complete any outstanding work and cancelling contracts that had not yet commenced.

We were also informed that the City inspector would be out 3/30/2009 to inspect the discrepancy items that had been corrected around Crawford Bay.
