In the June condo news report received from the board, it was stated that the board is tendering for a new lighting system in the parkade. Once again, residents must be included in any such descretionary expenses. This, along with the parkade resurfacingn as proposed by the board must not proceed any further until these matters have been reviewed at a general meeting.

It is very important that residents be clearly aware of projects which are a priority and must be addressed as soon as possible. These include the following:

1. Installation of residential humidification which was inappropriately removed and not replaced during installation of the heating system. The heating system project was placed before unit owners for a vote. The proposal included humidification and unit owners understood that this was in fact included in proposed project cost estimate. The project, did however, did not receive the required support of unit owners but the board proceeded anyway. Further, the humidifier was in turn, removed but never replaced.

The engineer advised a general meeting that he was instructed to not replace the residential humidification in order to reduce the cost of the new heating system project. Residents have as a result, suffered greatly from a lack of humidification during our long winters. These very low humidity levels have also contributed to higher energy costs. Installation of the residential humidifier is clearly a priority and must be installed before the coming winter season.

2. Repair and maintenance to balconies is a priority as well. This includes painting and repair of facing above the front windows as well as the side walls. This issue has been raised by residents many times over the past few years. Any required maintenance or repair must be completed during this summer season.

3. The Vector proposal for repair to the surface of the parkade is a priority and certainly must be completed before a new lighting system is considered.

4. Repairs including caulking to north side windows must be completed as soon as possible as there is leakage into the bedrooms of residents. Insufficient drainage relating to the roof and side walls of the building must be addressed as well. The drains installed in the walls around the base of the entire building appear to not be working. This must be corrected this summer season.

5. Security monitors must be inspected and repairs or replacement conducted where required.

6. There are several front windows requiring replacement. This must also be completed during this summer season.

7. The fourth floor front patios must be thoroughly inspected and appropriate sealant and flashing installed in order to prevent damage around the perimeter of these patios which has proven to cause leakage to the floor below. This again, must be completed during this summer season.
