Maintenance Report
- Due to the last power surge, there has been several GIFs (exterior plug-ins) that needed to be re-set properly. At this time there are only a few left to check across the complex.
- Trees have been trimmed on Upland and some trees will have to be trimmed or cut on Strathcona to prevent damages to the common property
- Signs on building and on the complex are being repainted
- The main entrance sign (Alpine Village) need some attention. Roof needs some repairs and paint. The council approved a budget of $300.00 for lights, roof and paint.
