Lighting: Chito has gotten 75% of the lighting switched over to the new light bulbs. The rest should be done by mid September. There have been a few complaints about the lights being on 24 hours a day. A memo will be going out to all residents about the new lighting.

Landscaping: The rockeries in D drive did not get done due to a concern from one resident in that drive. This resident made a 5 minute presentation before the meeting to council about her concerns. Council explained there plans for the drive to her. Council is moving the rocks from one side to the other for the spring. Come early spring new dirt will be laid down on both sides and shrubs and flowers will be planted.

NEW BUSINESS

Strata Fees: There is a dispute about some strata fees missing. Kevin says he delivered the strata fees to the Gateway office and Gateway says that they never got them. Kevin has created a log sheet that gateway must sign every time Kevin or Sophie drop anything off at the office. This will prevent this problem from happening again.

Managers Report: There were 32 bylaw violations for the month of August. 5 Units were sprayed for ants. The plumbing problem in A31 turned out to be nothing major. The sewer pipe for that row is fine. The problem is the basement drain of A31. It has collapsed and is not letting water drain. The water that was in the drain was from the washing machine not being hooked up right. Mike McAdams and Kevin fixed the washing machine problem and will be fixing the problem with the drain. A letter was sent to Lodgewood Enterprises about one of there semi truck parking on the street and block residents view when exiting the complex. Chito is being kept busy fixing rotten window sills and redirecting Rain gutters around the complex. There have been 2 complaints about big dogs in the complex.

Committees: Nothing to report from the committees

Budget: Council will be looking at 3 different budgets for next year at the October Council meeting.

AGM: Everything for the AGM will be finalized in the October Council meeting. The time Council is looking at to hold the AGM is in the first 2 week of November. Any Owner that would like to put forth bylaw changes is encouraged to do so by e-mailing Kevin before the October council meeting. This will help the AGM run faster and smoother.

Gateway Environmental Management Plan: Gateway Property Management has been asked by WCB to have a WHIMS book on hand at all of the properties that they manage. Council has agreed to make sure that all staff is trained in WHIMS.
