MINUTES OF July 17, 2008
Meeting called to order 5:39 PM
Attendees:
Guests: Claude DesRoches (Office Manager); Shawn Stubbs (Owner D70)
- Shawn Stubbs has some concerns about bylaw enforcement and feels that it should be enforced with no tolerance. He also would like to see a Block Watch program started. Council mentioned that we have tried to get the program started for the past 4 years. We need volunteers to step forward to run a program like this and we have not had any volunteers wanting to take this on. If any of you reading this are interested, please contact Claude at the office.
- Maureen Bricker has been asked to tender her resignation for continuing to interfere with maintenance workers and also stating that she is above our bylaws. Maureen refused to resign and council voted unanimous by all four councilors that she should no longer be able to sit on council. NOTE - Lorna Bihori voted by e-mail as she was unable to attend in person.
- Maintenance report. Most things are finally taking shape and the complex looks better than it has for a long time now. It has been great to get positive feed back from owners and tenants. Jacques is no longer on the maintenance team and at this point we are not replacing him. We will use part time help when needed and try to keep our costs down.
- Last, your council and also Claude, our manager, have been receiving some letters and e-mails about the complex and how it is run. I would like to state that if anyone has something to say about the complex, our manager or council; please attend a meeting or submit your thoughts in writing to us. We are very approachable and always have been. We ask that if you have something to say, please let us know who you are so we can respond to you.

MINUTES OF MAY 15, 2008
Meeting called to order at 5:30pm
Attendees: Dan Veller, Mike McAdams, David Henderson, Maureen Bricker, Lorna Bihori
Guests: Claude DesRoches, Heather Bennett
Heather Bennett presented a plan to put in a horseshoe pit (contractor to do it) by E25 on common property. She said there is a tenant who is also a contractor and is willing to do it. This would eliminate the weeds and they would put gravel in pits rather than sand to eliminate cat feces problem. They would look at a removable pin in order to eliminate any liability issues. She estimated $900 for labor and materials. Council decided to look at putting a pit in a fenced enclosure in D drive's entrance area.
Claude DesRoches submitted his manager’s report which included:
WR Ventures submitted a quote for siding but it is too highly priced - Decided to ask WR Ventures to re-quote with only replacing the wood with vinyl and leave the stucco untouched. Council also decided to search through CHOA for alternatives to siding
Insurance - Property, Fire & Liability - looked into cost factors and feasibility re such extras as earthquake and flood endorsements. Will look into further
Decided not to build a fence between us and Strata #1 at this time.
Researching construction options to redo the doorway overhangs in a costly and feasible manner prior to siding
updates on the continued bylaw infractions
Landscaping - topsoil on order, fertilizer and seed on standby awaiting soil conditions for the bobcat to work without sinking.
Summer help - PG Native Center, Job action, Multicultural
Front fences along A75-80 to become uniform, keep all the gates straight no design on some and not on others
Lawns to mowed and trimmed immediately and then maintained Wednesdays and Thursdays weekly thereafter
Ensure hoses and taps are ready for the season
Council decided the month’s priorities should be:
1) Lawn Care
2) Landscaping
3) Summer help hired
4) Projects i.e. roofs, fences
5) Bylaws such as the broken window in A 103 and window coverings throughout the complex. Council is looking at constructing a letter to have the managers and owners clean up their properties and ensure they are meeting bylaw standards to aid Claude in this huge ongoing task
Landscaping - do the lime to kill the moss, aerate, top sand, seed and fertilize then water, water, water and mow. After meeting with the landscape companies we realize we are too late to kill the moss for this year!
Maureen will call contractors to get quotes so that the landscaping can be put into effect immediately. Lorna to email Claude with a couple companies willing to do labor tryouts for 2 hours at $8-$10/hr so that we can get the flower beds cleaned up and try out this summer help agencies to see who is worth hiring for the summer.
Janitor - Maureen to offer Janitor contract to the person council agreed with, along with the guidelines agreed upon.
Mike and Dan will talk with the owner of D80 to see if a final agreement can be hashed out so that the common property attached with this unit can be properly dealt with prior to the sale.
Meeting ended after council did a walk around of some of the landscaping problem areas.

President’s Report, 2007
Fellow Owners
My name is Dan Veller and I am the president of the strata council. This past year we have enjoyed our second year of self management. We have experienced the same growing pains with managers, maintenance and bookkeeping. I am very confident that it is now finally behind us. As you know we as your current council continue to volunteer many hours and large amount of energy getting through this second year.
We have accomplished many things this past year. We continue to replace roofing as required; we have most of the fencing completed in the complex. We planted flowers and some lawn seed and it did help to brighten up the complex. We have had a very busy year with our maintenance workers. They have been pushed very hard by us and it would be greatly appreciated if all of you would give them a word of encouragement from time to time.
Property values are still increasing in the complex and are expected to continue for a few years to come. We still need to spend money to keep our homes looking as they should. The long term maintenance plan that we are using must be kept up or we will fall far behind and special assessment will be required to catch up.
We are looking at two major items that will need attention very soon. The first is the siding. This will take a lot more time to try to put pricing in place. We are working on it and will keep all of you posted as to what we come up with. We understand that there will be some of you who will require help from council and we are also looking into that as well. The second is paving and still a few years away however it is still a very large item that must be dealt with. We need to stay on course and continue to grow our contingency fund to protect all of us for future problems.
Our focus for the new-year is as follows:
1. Shingle replacement will continue as required, the good news is we are almost
done the entire complex. We should be finished in two more years.
2. We are putting together a landscaping plan to change the look of the complex. We
need to make it look more attractive and comfortable for families to live.
3. Bylaw enforcement is also a main priority. It is in our bylaws that all pets must be
registered with council including a picture of the pet. This will no longer be
tolerated as the pet issue has become out of hand.
4. Building the contingency reserve is always a goal for the present council as we
are aware that there are major repairs just around the corner.
5. We are looking into something that will be a permanent fix for the exterior of the
complex. We are currently looking at vinyl siding. This is going to be a major
expense but must be dealt with sooner than later.
6. Last, we need more community support from within the complex to build
committees to help us with all of our tasks. We must continue to lobby the city
about the park and lighting improvements. I ask for this every year and we really
need your help so please volunteer to make Alpine Village a better place to live.
We hopefully have a great team heading into the new year and we will look forward to your input and help with all of our duties in and throughout the complex.
Yours truly

Letter to Residents - Snow Removal 2007
December 5, 2007
To All Residents of
Alpine Village Strata
Dear Residents
I am sure all of you have realized that, once again, we are having an early winter season this year with more snow than expected. With snow falls comes snow removing and clean-up of parking areas, stairs and pathways.
Over the winter months our staff will keep all common area paths clear of snow; however, each resident is responsible for cleaning up their own parking stalls, doorsteps and walkway.
When the loaders come through they will clean the parking stalls but only if all the stalls are empty. To ensure that our parking areas are safe and clean, the cooperation of all residents is needed. If someone is parked beside your stall it will not be cleaned. If you are parked in your stall other resident’s stalls will not be cleaned.
We ask all residents to clean their doorsteps and walkways and to please move your vehicles when the snow removal crews come through. It only takes a few minutes and it makes the parking lots easier to use. Consider other residents as well as yourself.
We are also noticing an accumulation of garbage bags and others detritus on the path to the garbage bins. These garbage bags are not put in the bins but are scattered in the parking areas and walkway and have to be picked up by our maintenance crew instead of doing snow removal. Please note that fines will be issued against occupants not disposing of their garbage properly.
Thank you in advance for your cooperation and happy shovelling.
Sincerely,
Management and Staff of Alpine Village
