OLD BUSINESS

Treasurer’s Report: financial statements are updated to April 30, 2006. Bruce and the Bookkeeper will review financial statements and have an update available for the July council meeting.

Insurance: Quotes for insurance were received from several companies. HUB: $38, 638; Cooperators: $47, 951; Summit: decided not to compete with other quotes. Council agreed to accept HUB’s quoted rates.

Landscaping: The drives and common areas have been swept. An ongoing effort by the groundskeepers will work to keep the strata property clean and free of trash. There will be work done to improve the garden areas and flower containers around the strata.

Foundation walls: A76’s crack in the foundation wall will be repaired on June 9, 2006. Council accepted Crackmaster’s quote and approved the repairs. Bruce will ask to receive a quote/recommendations for A79’s foundation problem from Crackmaster.

Line painting: Begins on June 8th. New parking and laneway lines will be painted by groundskeeping staff.

Roofing: Roofing repairs are proceeding on schedule. There was $20,000 budgeted- first project came in at $5200; A33-A47 budgeted at $8,000; A44-A48 budgeted at $6,000. Seems as roofing projects will meet budgeted amounts.

NEW BUSINESS

New Strata Manager: Council accepted Bruce Charneski as new Strata Manager. He replace Gina and Charles, who did not work out as strata managers. Bruce will work full-time, hours of work will be 8 AM-5PM with 1hr for lunch, Monday to Friday. His performance will be reviewed at the next council meeting..

H Drive Parking: Parking issues have come up in H Drive. Residents on the west side are parking in front of their units and not using the designated parking at the back of their units. There is a question whether the front area is a designated Fire Lane. Bruce will investigate more and update council.

Strata Fees: Strata fees for 2006 to be collected are assessed at $270, 564.00. The fee schedule and rates are legitimate and meet the mathematical equation for strata fee rates established in the Strata Act.
Council has asked strata manager to investigate unpaid strata fees or unpaid amounts to be collected from Gateway.
