4) Work Authorization #804 for repair of the vehicle gate was discussed. The problem was that switches had not been reset after some phone numbers were changed in the gate's call box. Also, a drain blockage was cleared after causing some drain water to bubble up in A-111.

Old Business:
1) Garden Windows were discussed again.
Regarding tightening several windows that are sagging away from the building, Bert Donaldson said he still needs to get tools and parts to make the attachments.
2) Carpet Cleaning. One-time hallway carpet cleaning job order was done by King Sweep Carpet Cleaning for $1163.

New Business:
1) Painting the Buildings. Discussion of possible painting of the exterior wood on the outside of the buildings was led by Lana Ivascu, who is in charge of the Architecture and Landscape Committee. Ms. Ivascu prefers that the wood be painted a taupe color, which is a brownish or tan gray color. The Manager recommended that whatever the color, it should be darker than the tan-peach color now, because the current color shows stains too easily. He also said that the painting could be done as early as spring or summertime. Anyone with suggestions about the painting may call Ms. Ivascu at 223-6569.
There was some discussion about the color of the awnings, too.
2) Trees. There was a discussion about replacing some of the trees in the parking lot, especially where trees are missing or tilted a lot. The general consensus was to proceed by one means or another to replace those trees.

Conclusion of the Meeting. The meeting was over about 8:15pm.
