Last year the Association voted to have the Board approve the annual meeting minutes on the behalf of the owners so that an approved copy of the minutes could be sent to owners in a more timely manner.
Moved to allow the Board to do the same this year -
Passed unanimously.
Our main efforts this past year have been focused on maintaining and improving the physical assets of Willamette Towers.
The key projects have included:
In general maintenance, there has been
In-progress is upgrading the building doors.
We recently started participating in curbside compost recycling, and plan to conduct some outreach and education to get more participation from residents.
We are starting up a Green Committee, and Linda Seymour has volunteered to chair it.
Finally, we spent a lot of time this past year exploring the issues related to replacing the building’s aging pipes.
We have been calling this the “big plumbing project”, and we are investigating the best approach among alternatives, getting input from plumbing and engineering experts, and thinking through the stages of a large project.
The main difference from previous reports is that there is now a separate entry specifically for monies allocated to the Plumbing Project in the Reserves totals.
The report also states the budgetary activity of 2019.
It is available on the WT website.
Please review the Budget spreadsheet for 2019 and projected for 2020 on the WT website for details of spending of the past year and the projected current year.
Proposed projects:
THESE ARE ONLY LOOSE APPROXIMATIONS AT THIS TIME!
Depending on the plumbing configuration in each stack, the disruptions could run from 3-10+ days depending on how much restoration must be done on interior walls in kitchens and baths.
We will be asking owners/residents to take photos of bathroom walls and kitchen walls in order to get a better understanding of what kinds of demolition and reconstruction may be called for.
Details will be sent to all owners in the next few weeks.
Presently, we’re still gathering bids and materials costs for running new piping in parallel to existing galvanized pipes and once all is in place, change the final connections over.
Expected to have reliable project budget numbers by Q2 this year and buy-off of plan by our engineering firm by Q3 which will allow the first riser to be done by EOY. [Again, these dates and times of disruptions are only estimates at this time.]
Things we had listed last year:
Things completed or pending:
