Installing a new roof is serious business, and we need to make sure we get it right. That’s why I, along with the rest of the Board of Directors, decided unanimously last night to postpone a decision on what to do about the clubhouse roof until a special meeting to be held on Monday, June 10. (See 5/30/13 video at the top of the Meeting Videos page under BOARD OF DIRECTORS.) That gives us another week to consult more experts and look into several issues that will help us make a more well-informed decision by clearing up warranty concerns and giving us a better basis for price comparison. Specifically, we will be obtaining more bids from companies using a specific roofing system that will save the association tens of thousands of dollars by allowing us to cover rather than replace the existing roof. The system, which has been certified by our architectural and engineering consultants, comes with a 20-year manufacturer’s warranty that appears to provide excellent coverage but needs clarification on certain points. Postponing our decision will not necessarily delay the project because the clubhouse will first be tented for termites. The Board approved a $10,350 contract with Accurate Pest Control to perform the tenting. It includes a lifetime warranty for re-tenting as long as annual warranty payments of $1,560 are kept up.
Our meeting was notably free of rancor and bickering. It was heartening to see Board members get along and work together so well. Tomorrow will be a good opportunity to celebrate this new spirit of comity. The Village is holding an owner-sponsored International Food Festival this Saturday, June 1 from 5 to 9:30 p.m. in the clubhouse. It’s being billed as an opportunity to meet neighbors and enjoy international foods, live music, dancing and a 50/50 raffle. Neighbors are being invited to bring a dish to share with friends. I look forward to seeing you there!
