Property Audit Photo Report:
Jason Cardenas from ProTec indicated which building structures and systems need immediate attention with the help of a photo report. The building is spending money by placing the fire system on “Fire watch” while these systems are placed back into a stable working condition. In addition to the many needed repairs, Jason suggested we purchase materials and equipment through a wholesale retailer to save money and time wasted on Home Depot trips. The photo report will be made available on BuildingLink to bring awareness to owners and help staff give satisfying answers to residents as pertains to assessments and costs.
Delinquencies:
There is one HOA account that is currently 90 days delinquent. Rafael is working with Consortium to bring that account current.
Financial Report:
Reserves are currently at $1.4 million and the Board is looking at different options to review the reserves in an effort to increase them long term. The current cash flow system is in need of simplification for a clearer understanding.
SDG&E continues to bring unsatisfactory service to the building and the Board is preparing evidence and documentation for a potential lawsuit.
Landscape Committee:
There are ongoing efforts to prohibit pets from walking and relieving themselves on the small grass island in front of the building to make it more aesthetically pleasing according to Pat Boer’s report.

Manager’s Report:

the fire sprinkler heads with deficiencies will be taken care of by Symmons Fire Protection after the summer, each owner is responsible for the cost and will receive a bill after the work has been completed.
