d) The issue of insurance coverage, Master versus Homeowner, was discussed. In that there are several variables that need to be resolved, each board member is enjoined to review the variables and be ready to discuss at the May meeting.

 

VI New business

a) A presentation was made to the Board by Estes Design, a mailbox company. The Board had previously discussed whether to refurbish or replace the existing mailboxes. The presentation included costs for both aluminum and steel mailbox replacement. Following the presentation a proposal was made by Bob Bergdoll to experiment refurbishing one section of mailboxes. Kirkpatrick also wanted to get a couple more proposals prior to making a decision on the Estes proposal.

b) A presentation was made to the Board by representatives of Red Knight Roofing. This company had been requested to make a proposal for replacing the roofs of all units and the clubhouse. The only cost figures available to this point were five years old. The estimated cost proposed was 30 per cent higher than the earlier estimate. The rising cost of petroleum based product and shipping costs were causes for the increase. Kirkpatrick will solicit at least two additional proposals.

 

VII The next regular meeting of the Board will convene at 7:00 pm, Tuesday May 20, location to be determined.

 

VIII Meeting was adjourned at 9:20 pm
