The Martinique Board of Directors meeting was called to order by President, Chuck Bonini at 7:03 p.m. on August 19, 2002. In addition to Chuck board members present included Alan Byrne, Jeanine Dowlen and Tim Bober. The minutes from the June 4, 2002 meeting were approved.

Treasurer?’s Report-Tim Bober

Tim advised that Jackie from TJW Management was out of town and we did not have a current report. He stated that we were approximately $2,500.00 under Budget for the year. He then asked if $175 of the Garage Parking income be placed in the Sunshine Fund. Alan Byrne from the Entertainment Committee gratefully accepted. The Treasurer?’s Report was accepted.

Committee Reports

Alan Byrne from the entertainment committee said that there would be a Bar-B-Q on September 1, the food would be furnished and each person would be charged. Those who want alcoholic beverages would bring them.

Maintenance and Grounds

Kevin Lindahl gave a report of the recommendations from the committee. Lightning rods for the building, Martinique blue paint to touch up our front doors, rusting water pipes in the storage room areas, the possibility of an on site manager for 8 hours, lock for the 2nd floor gate, address the issue of our walkways.

Unfinished Business:

Chuck stated that he was going to pay for his parking place in the garage, he said he wanted to avoid any problems in the future. The president would have first choice, however, if he declined then his spot would be put up for auction. The board approved this decision.

Chuck worked with the cabinet installers and reported that all de-lamination problems were corrected with the exception of three doors which have to be ordered.

Chuck met with the elevator repairman from Otis. They went in the pit, it was dry and there were actually cobwebs which was an indication that it had been dry for a very long time. He did recommend that we consider installing some air conditioning in the room, this would add years to the life of our elevators. This will be researched and discussed at a subsequent meeting. The otis representative stated that our elevators were in very good condition.

Chuck stated that in a conversation with Jim Mack he said that we could either sign his release letter at which time he would give us the $20,000.00 for our elevators and walkways, take it or leave it. It was unanimously voted by the board for Chuck after discussing this with our attorney to make a decision based on his advice.

Our Martinique sign is in the guide lines of the town of Ponce Inlet. Chuck has a letter stating this.

The town inspector sent us a letter stating that we were in violation regarding our handicapped parking. Our sign was not high enough by 8 inches and it did not have the $250.00 fine for parking in a handicapped parking area. The corrections were made.

An update on the window testing and repair. All of the windows on the East side of our building are fine, but, the windows on the West, North, and South sides will have to be replaced. Alan Green is in the process of securing bids and will be replacing them. He has a court date in October with New South and also the manufacturer.

We just replaced the motor in the pool pump.

Chuck referred to the letter that Bob Rowean sent to all home owners at the Martinique regarding the completion of our building. The walkways being finished in a manner that would show that this is an upscale building. A letter from Tony and Kathy Gautsch was also read saying how much they support Bob?’s concerns. A committee was formed to study suitable solutions. The committee members are, Alan Byrne, Bob Rowean, Tim Bober, Lois Lindahl and Ann Knudsen.

Our Martinique documents state that the Board of Director?’s term should begin January 1, of each calendar year and end the last day of the year. It was discussed and voted unanimously to follow the documents.

The meeting was adjourned at 8:50 p.m.
