PROPERTY MANAGER REPORT
- There is a COVID surge on the Island. A mandatory face mask policy has been implemented, as well as occupancy limits. Several restaurants have closed because of Covid issues.
- The airport ran out of jet fuel causing an issue with private planes.
- Island planners are taking a look at planned large events in September and October, with the possibility of some being either cancelled or scaled down.
- Mariner House is busy, with nearly full occupancy.
- Two members of the Board will complete their terms this year.
- The rotten gutter over the India Street side of the building will be replaced with fiberglass, which will be in compliance.
OLD BUSINESS
- The signature page on MH By-laws must be signed by the President of Board. This ensures that any issue brought to the ownership that could result in amendment of the By-laws is handled officially and appropriately.
- Tracy will check with attorney as to appropriate clarification of unanimous vs. majority nomenclature in By-Laws, and whether or not this can be changed.
- A memo regarding potential changes to the By-Laws, as well as clarification of why we are marrying covenants into the By-Laws, is being prepared by our attorney to be sent to owners in advance of the annual meeting.
- Our attorney is working on moving forth with a less costly way to do deed transfers rather than foreclosures.
NEW BUSINESS:
- Necessary Repairs: Because of COVID, owners were not assessed in 2020 or 2021 for necessary capital repairs. An assessment will most likely be included in the 2022 Capital Plan.
- Bill Steadman is securing costs for major repairs, including the renovation of the Aurora unit. This will be included in the 2022 Capital Plan.
- The front door replacement will be deferred until 2023.
- The 2021 Annual Meeting is scheduled for Saturday, October 16 at the Hy-Line Conference Room. Packets will be sent to owners in advance. Lunch will be served at 11:00 AM, with the meeting to begin at Noon. Arrangements will be made for conferencing.
There being so other items to discuss, Eileen Fox moved to adjourn the meeting at 5:48 PM, seconded by Elizabeth Jackson and passed unanimously.
Respectfully submitted,
Gloria Kunz, Secretary
