What's happening in our building?

We have been confronted with multiple challenges this year.
As we begin the 3rd quarter, it is time to gear up and get though our highest priority projects.

Sentry and the Board of Directors will be making every effort to complete these objectives well before the next regular meeting. Clearing the table of lingering problems will enable us to get on with the longer term projects described in our Reserve Study.

 High Priority Projects:

1. Roof repairs- funded
1. Exterior roof leak repaired on June 7.
2. Repair interior ceiling of condo below leak
3. Repair missing fascia capping on north side peak
2. Deck repairs- 
1. (Survey completed in December, 2015)
2. Collect bids for “glue down” and begin work on selected decks
3. Collect bids on edge replacement, target price $1000-$2000@ for worst cases
3. Vent Cleaning*- funded
1. Purchase Order sent on 6/16/2016
2. Complete work by July 31

*Birds entered a ventilation duct on the first floor, built nests, and died after being trapped. The ducts will be cleaned and the exterior vent covers will be sealed to prevent entry.

Projects:

1. Garage deck cleaning- special industrial cleaning to remove stains
1. Bid received, reference needed.
2. Begin work asap
2. Carpet cleaning 1-4 floor hallways
1. Bid received
2. Begin work as soon as garage deck cleaning has been completed.
3. Elevator Controls- Rescue- Recall function* - non-budgeted
1. Bid received from Schindler for controls
2. Need bids from electricians.
3. Final approval of installation costs and service contract required.

*Rescue-Recall Function: currently our elevators will cease to operate when there is a power failure. At 700 Cattail Cove, a resident was trapped in the elevator for 45 minutes until power was restored.  One of our residents stepped off the elevator 90 seconds before the power outage. Adding the R-R function will bring the elevator to the lobby level and open the door safely.

We welcome your comments and questions.
