900 Marshy Cove Board Meeting Notes; May 10, 2014

Yesterday, two of the incumbent board members were re-elected to their positions.
There were no challengers. There were no changes in the officers. A quorum of 12 was barely achieved.  6 unit owners were present and 6 proxies.  4 of the proxies were gathered by knocking on doors.    We must do better! 

Issues:

Delinquent Accounts: Mainly because of one unit owner, who has since vacated, 900 Marshy Cove is in arrears for approximately $6000 to the Master Association. 

• The question: who should pay this?  The board has decided not to pay the amount to the DHMA as it is the unit owner's debt not 900 MC's responsibility.  There are conflicting legal opinions on this matter.  The same individual owes much more than $16000 to our 900 MC association. This debt is most likely non-collectible.
• On May 2, 2014, Sentry is now under contract to manage the entire Deep Harbour Site. TPW elected to abandon their contract giving notice 90 days prior. Todd will be our principle contact.
• Last year's swimming pool passes will be be honored. If you need passes contact Sentry at 410-221-0398.
• Refreshing the decor in the front lobby. 
• A committee was established to investigate restoration and replacement of the furnishings. After estimates and designs are considered, a budget will be determined.
• Lawn Sprinkler systems: Two areas are under consideration for sprinklers. The flag pole area which in the domain of the Master Association and the garden immediately around the 900 MC building.  To do both areas would cost approximately $7000.
• The Master Board will be approached for funding of the flag poll areas.
• A new fire system maintenance company will be under contract. 
• The previous service company failed to maintain a dry sprinkler valve which costs Cattail Cove approx. $7000 to replace.  The failed valve could have potentially caused sprinkler pipe freezing and extensive water damage.
• Building Maintenance:Various work requirements were identified.  
• A new Air Conditioning unit will be installed to replace a failed unit that serves the 3rd and 4th floor hallways.
• You may contact Blackwater AC to have your unit's AC serviced. 
• If you wish to report a problem in the building, contact Sentry Management directly.
• Todd and Michele can be reached at 410-221-0398.
