GUEST
Cliff Chin of Tunnel Vision Transit Advertising presented information
regarding the 2010 Olympics and the potential banners that can be placed
on the building to generate revenue. The banners would be installed for at
least a three month period prior to the start of the Olympics. The banners
would be installed using the roof anchors and tie downs on the West side
of the building. The buildings along Quebec Street are being contacted as
a group to display the banners.
Discussion ensued regarding the potential revenue to be earned as the
result of having a banner on the building. The Strata Council also
discussed the potential inconvenience that it may cause to the residents
living on the West side of the building as the banner would cover the
complete side of the building. The Strata Council agreed that this issue
will have to be discussed and voted on at the Annual General Meeting.

Provided for Strata Council's information was a copy of the arrears list
for the special assessment account.

Rental
The owner of a 3rd floor suite advised that they wish to purchase one of
the townhouses. The owner requested permission to rent the townhouse until

allow the owner to transfer the ability to rent his current suite to the
townhouse as the suite is grandfathered by the rental bylaw. The 3rd floor
suite however can not be rented until the number of rentals falls below
the maximum that is allowed to be rented. The owner also has to remain a
resident in the building.
Maintenance

through their ensuite bathroom ceiling. Gateway spoke to the on site staff
and they advised that the hallway wall will be cut open to determine if
the problem is associated with the repiping work or something else.

from a water leak. The owner of a 10th floor suite reported a water leak
