AMMENDED Minutes of the Board Meeting June 13, 2011

The meeting was called to order at 7:30 PM Roll call as follows: In attendance: Seth Resnick, President; Kenneth Rekant, First Vice President; Eunice Newman, Treasurer; Edward Lieberman; Vice President and Jorge Romanach, Secretary

1) Reading and disposal of any unapproved minutes:
• Minutes for April 6, 2011; were presented for approval, Mr. Romanach made a motion to accept them; Mrs. Newman seconded it; all members voted unanimously.
• Minutes for April 21, 2011; were presented for approval, Eunice made a motion to accept them, Jorge seconded it; all members voted unanimously.
2) New Business:
• Quarterly Condo maintenance fees: It was discussed that it was never officially recorded that condo fees be paid quarterly, nor that unit owners had thirty days to pay. The board made a motion to officially propose and record that condo fees must be paid on a quarterly basis in advance. It was also determined that any payments received after 5:00PM EST, on the 15th of the month would be deemed late. If the 15th falls on a weekend day, then the due date would be the following business day by 5:00PM EST. Any account not paid on time will be sent immediately to our attorney for lien and possible foreclosure.
Motion: Motion was made by Mrs. Newman and seconded by Mr. Rekant and the motion was passed unanimously.
Mr. Liebermann recommended that all condo owners receive this revised policy. Please note from our Bylaws- Article VII Section 3 – Determination of Assessments: “Said assessments shall be payable monthly, in advance, or at such other times, as ordered by the Board of Directors.”

• Starting June 15, 2011, the association will start accepting credit cards for monthly maintenance payments. There is a variable service charge depending on the card from 1.84% for Visa, Mastercard, and Discover and 2.89% for American Express. This will be included in the payment if the unit owner pays by credit card.

3) Updates and reports:
• Mr. Resnick spoke about the fact that Cool Breeze was terminated as the provider of the ongoing AC maintenance. Cool Breeze was not only unresponsive to all the needs of the building, they were also over billing the association and not fulfilling obligations under the contract. Coolbreeze removed material belonging to the association and only returned it when threatened with legal action Hence, Trane was awarded the maintenance contract. Trane has had a much better record of response; and to date, has shown a better partnership with the building for the maintenance of the air-conditioning system.

• Elevators: The recent repair of east elevator was quoted at $11,950.00. The maintenance contract which was signed many years ago stated that the damage was an issue that should have been covered in the contract. Given that the contract was issued so long ago, and that it was never officially renewed, Otis agreed to split the difference in the cost of the repair in light of securing the contract for the future updating of the elevators which will be a substantial work order/contract. The association was able to reduce their portion to $5,975.00 Please note that this issue was purely a malfunction of the elevator and not related to the required updates by Miami Beach and the State of Florida. We will address these issues at a future meeting.

• Upon unsatisfactory services to the building for the maintenance of the grounds, the landscaping maintenance contract with Tip Top was terminated. Terra Maintenance has been awarded the maintenance contract and to date, there has been a vast improvement in service. Tip
Top was overcharging repeatedly for services not rendered.

• Automated/computerized system for the log in of guests and vendors was discussed with the board and with unit owners in attendance. This system will be installed at the front desk and all visitors will have to provide identification, and their visits will be logged into the computer. The system will be a cost of approximately $1,530.00. Jorge recommended that for more efficiency, a second unit be installed in the back entrance.
Motion: Motion was made by Mr. Lieberman and seconded by Mrs. Newman and the motion was passed unanimously.

• In 2011,
• 4 units have been sold
• 6 remain for sale.
• 3 units are in the process of foreclosure.
• 3 units are behind in maintenance

• Board presented a detailed listing of the work orders/projects that have been completed, in process, and yet to be addressed. The building engineers are doing a great job managing maintenance requests/needs.

• Approvals for alterations to the existing air-conditioning units/systems in two units were brought before the board for approval.

• 2E would like to re-route some of the duct work but not alter nor replace the working mechanism/motor or drainage of the exiting unit

• 19A would like to replace and alter the existing mechanism/motor or drainage in the unit.

It was discussed that the air-conditioning unit is a limited common element of the building and that the units are inter-connected. Replacing, moving or altering the working mechanism/motor or drainage of the unit may compromise the system as a whole. However, the extension or relocation of duct work would not pose a threat or compromise to the main system.

As such approval to re-route/relocate duct work in 2E was granted.

Approval for a new air-conditioning installation in 19A was denied
Motion: Motion was made by Mr. Jorge Romanach and seconded by Mr. Kenneth Rekant and the motion was passed unanimously. For the record no unit will be permitted to alter the AC system as originally established in the building.
Motion was made by Mr. Romanach and seconded by Mr. Lieberman to adjourn the meeting at 9:10PM.

3) Updates and reports:
• Seth spoke about the fact that Cool Breeze was terminated as the provider of the ongoing maintenance. Cool Breeze was not only unresponsive to all the needs of the building; however, they were billing the association unjustly. They took copper piping off the premises which did not belong to them, and after arguing the point, returned it to the association. Hence, Trane was awarded the maintenance contract. Trane has had a much better record of response; and to date, has shown ownership and partnership with the building for the maintenance and corrective measure of the air-conditioning system.

• Upon unsatisfactory services to the building for the maintenance of the grounds, the landscaping maintenance contract with Tip Top was terminated. Terra Maintenance has been awarded the maintenance contract and to date, Carmen has seen an improvement in service.

Any articles left at the pool will be disposed of. No food and no tables within 12 feet of the pool. Unit owners responsible for Articles and toys which get into the filter system and damage it will be billed for the damage.

Also, we would like to remind you that when you are having a party, you should inform the office how many cars are coming, if the cars are more than 10, you will need valet service, which cost is $25 per hour.

Minutes of the Board Meeting April 20, 2011

The meeting was called to order at 7:38 PM Roll call as follows: In attendance: Seth Resnick, Kenneth Rekant, Eunice Newman and Jorge Romanach.

President’s report: Seth addressed the issue that was made by Michael Bernstein regarding excessive legal bills. Seth proceeded to read excerpts from three letters that had been received from a unit owner to illustrate the need to consult legal advice when is necessary. Seth asked unit owners in attendance if they too would feel there was a need for legal advice. Unit owners in attendance agreed unanimously.

Next item was a letter from Mr. Levy regarding his complaint about vermin in his unit which was most likely due to the trash chute that requires maintenance. The association has consulted with several vendors regarding this issue. They received three proposals and the best proposal addressed patching the existing holes/damage in the trash cute of the C&D line at a cost of $2,800.00 and a deep cleaning at a cost of $1,300 per chute. This is in addition to the regularly scheduled cleaning/maintenance of the trash chutes. Ken made a motion to repair the trash chute of the C&D line as well as the deep cleaning for a total cost of $4,100.00. Motion was seconded by Seth and was approved unanimously.

The election of Directors took place and the votes were counted by the committee: Ms. Lucile Wagner, Ms. Kathy Friedman and Dr. Melvin Deutsch
