Financials:

  • The Condo’s finances were reviewed, and everything is in good order.

New Business:

  • The sheetrock tape on the ceiling of the garage is becoming unstuck and will be removed.  The interior front wall of the garage is flaking and patchy.  A disused and blocked off air duct was damaged by a builder’s van on the interior north wall of the garage.  The duct will be removed when the garage interior is repainted.
