Council Meeting 23 March 2018

 In attendance at 3:30 p.m. : Sharon. Gabby and Anneliese
Unfortunately Chris could not make this meeting.

We addressed the following:
How to handle the bed bug problem when owners are away. It was decided to make our by-law much clearer in necessitates an emergency. The current bylaw was made in the 1960 and is not specific to our current need.
*How to handle unlicensed vehicles better. Came to a good conclusion. Will have the newer cars towed and place fines on older ones. Alpine can not take the liability on our insurance for irresponsible owners that do not at least put storage insurance on their vehicles.
* Will NOT ALLOW ANY NEW LARGER DOGS in the complex as of immediately .  Intend to take an inventory on what we already have. All owners, property managers and realtors are herewith
notified of our restrictive pet bylaws. ( 2 pets allowed per unit, no more than 40 lbs each or 20 inches high) Spay/Neuter/Vaccination proof required to the office.
*Roof repairs and/or replacements. Will have roofers check all roofs to make sure that any protruding stacks are properly sealed before next winter
*Our groundskeeper shall not be on call on week-ends any longer. Emergency calls will come to council members and will be screened as per emergency.
*Looked at colour palette for the siding and some discussion on the cost.
*Discussed hiring of student (subsidised) labour for the summer
*Two problem tenants have been evicted. We discussed ways to stop bad tenants from getting to rent from other owners in the complex and causing more harm. ANY SUGGETIONS ?????
*Supervision of new summer hires. Council will hire/fire and supervise.
*Discussion on how and where we could possibly save on expenditures.
*K forms have to be updated for every tenant . Sharon is doing this .
* Darlene has resigned from the office. Anneliese and Sharon are currently sharing office duties with
Diana doing the financial side of things until a suitable Strata Office Manager is found. We are not going to rush into this. We are waiting to hire the RIGHT person for the job this time. (Council duties
are volunteered but running the office is a paid position and shared between us until a replacement is found.) It does not pay Alpine to hire someone unsuitable and then having to pay to fix all the problems.
Meeting closed 5 pm
