This special meeting was called to review bids for painting, discuss what needs to be done about the patios that are sinking, and concerns pertaining to the wetlands buffer area.

Painting Bids

Alex Taylor received bids from 5 painting contractors to paint 4 units .  The five contractor’s bids were between $15,743 and $23,300.  After a good discussion with Alex he recommended the lowest bidder Pro Coat.  Although it is not always best to take the lowest bid Alex said their paper work was good, they didn’t sublet their work, and they would also paint 8 doors for the above price.

Gretchen Sellen made a motion to hire Pro Coat for the painting. It was unanimously agreed that we hire Pro Coat.

Patios

The patios at 1802, 1804, 1806 and 1808 may be sinking.  Paul Stannert will have a concrete specialist he knows look at the patios and make an assessment as to what needs to be done.

Wetlands Buffer

In the wetlands the blackberries are out of control and there are many non native species that need to be attended to.  Jim Wiggens, a wetlands consultant, came out to assess the buffer area.  He has proposed a maintenance plan that would take care of some of these problems.  As part of the plan he would coordinate with the city to do what needs to be done.  A special meeting will be called in the near future to vote on adopting this wetlands plan

The meeting adjourned at 8:15
