Exterior Maintenance should be top priority (Peaks have OSB painted) used to be shingled. & they have disintegrated.
Siding on buildings (i.e. A79)
Concerns with structure damage due to rain and water
Upland in poor condition on outside of buildings. Strathcona Ave, shingles should be on peaks OSB will expand it needs protection. Strathcona buildings had shingles and council replied that shingles would be installed as soon as it was possible, spring or summer.

Council has also stated that as soon as we can get qualified contractors to actually respond, all issues will be seen to in maintenance and repair.

Realty $80,000 and 2012 $52,000 50% decrease. It was also stated that the value of the building has dropped due to the appearance. After some time to review, Dan Veller has determined that there has been lots of lower end unit being sold at bargain prices and that has lowered the average selling price, which also lowers the assessment value and the market price. Hopefully this is almost over and the values should continue to rise from now on.

-Window Casings, Stucco around windows is rotten and mold issues. New windows installed by owners don’t stop the rotten issues. Council has addressed this and is just waiting to get proper contractors to do qualified repairs.

Congratulations for getting the roofs done. Excellent Accomplishment, adds value.

Fencing: cement to protect posts.

New Cameras were put in to cover playgrounds & blind areas as approved by ¾ vote at AGM 2011..

Suggested for strata to contact the Carpenters union hall and see if we can find a retired carpenters to take on big jobs.

Meeting Minutes for May 2012


Ron has put in his notice, and Karrie Cookhouse has been interviewed for the position.

We have offered Karrie the position and she has accepted.

We had an issue with the sweepers, they did not do all of Alpine Village so we had to have them come back and do it. Sweeping cost $2,300.

Dan is talking to a few people to fix the drain in D Drive, there will be culverts installed and fill with crushed rock and angled so it drains properly. It will be left to pave next year so it has time to settle, as well we will see what other paying needs to be done and that hopefully will be done as well.

We are still waiting on the lawyer to get back to us regarding the dog bylaw.

Dan has been speaking with 4 insurance companies on our insurance will bring it back to next meeting.
The cleanup bbq has been canceled for Sunday May 20th 2012 as it is the Sunday of the long weekend.

Dan and Sherry went to the CHOA meeting held at the Ramada in Prince George.

One of the most important things they brought back to the Strata was the BC government is making deprecation a law on the all complex’s in BC. This could cost us up to $15,000 to pay someone to come and do.

The buildings are in need of Air flow vent’s being fixed, strata will see if there is money in the budget.
