BUSINESS ARISING FROM THE MINUTES
Pool
Provided for Strata Council’s information were copies of quotes from
Rick MacDonald Contracting and Wolfgang Painting to repair and paint the
pool area. Norm Gallinger volunteered to get further quotes for the
work. The Strata Council agreed to use a light colour throughout the
room.
The Strata Council requested that a spray bottle and paper towels be
placed in the gym in order to disinfect the equipment when it is used.
Window Shades
As approved by the Strata Council a letter was sent to the owner of a
23rd floor suite providing permission to install roller shades in their
suite.
Window Film
As approved by the Strata Council a letter was sent to the owner of
a 3rd floor suite providing permission to install Huper Optic
translucent window film on their windows.
Security System
Gateway spoke to Action Lock and Security regarding their quote for
maintenance of the security system. The quote is for the maintenance of
the security components that are already in place and not just the new
components that were added during the security upgrade. The Strata
Council considered the quote and agreed that the contract would not be
necessary.
Gateway reviewed the cost of possible identification tags to identify
residents of the building when entering the underground parking area.
The Strata Council requested that signs be installed on the gate to
remind residents to stop and use their own fob to open the garage gate.
Many residents are attempting to follow other residents through the gate
while the garage gate is open. There is a bylaw in place that requires
residents to use their own fob to open the gate and it will be enforced.
Residents who attempt to tailgate the vehicle in front of them will be
fined as per the bylaw.
Islands
Ted McGrath has been advised that the islands can be removed from
the parking garage. The Strata Council suggested that a dividing line be
painted on the P2 parking entrance to keep vehicles on the appropriate
side of the driveway.
Townhouse Steps
Gateway spoke to Rick MacDonald Contracting regarding the townhouse
steps. Rick advised that any coating that is used on the steps will
require regular replacement and maintenance. Acid washing the steps may
help to improve the look. There is also the option of installing tile on
the steps as a permanent solution. The Strata Council agreed to table
this issue however Norm Gallinger will research possible paint options
for the steps.
Common Areas
Kenn Coblin and Sarah Moen advised that they had nothing to report
at this time. Quotes are being obtained to repair the common area paint.
Human Rights Tribunal
The Strata Council reviewed the correspondence received from the
lawyer representing the Strata Corporation at the Human Rights Tribunal.
The Strata Council requested a time of line of events with respect to
suite 1501 and the outside roller shade.
CORRESPONDENCE
Provided for Strata Council’s information was a copy of an email form
the owner of a suite advising that they have rented their suite
temporarily to some one who has a dog. They are requesting permission to
allow the dog to remain during the tenancy.
The Strata Council discussed the request and agreed that the no pet
bylaw has to be enforced. The Strata Council requested that a fine be
issued every seven days until the dog is removed from the suite.
The Strata Council advised that there is a dog living on the 27th floor
which has recently moved in to the building. Gateway will contact the
owner of the suite and request that the dog be removed.
NEW BUSINESS
PIPA
The Strata Council discussed the recent information that has been
provided regarding Strata Corporations and the Privacy Act.
Elevator
The Strata Council discussed possible options regarding extra
security for the elevators. Recent vandalism in the elevators may result
in the installation of security measures to catch the vandal.
Townhouse Balconies
Three lower level townhouse owners have expressed interest in
enclosing their front balconies. The Strata Council advised that a
design proposal must be put forth to the owners for approval at the next
Annual General Meeting. The design would then become the prototype for
all other front balcony enclosures.
Schedule Next Meeting
The next Strata Council meeting is scheduled for September 15, 2009,
2009 at 7:00 p.m. There being no further business, the meeting was
terminated at 9:00 p.m.

remortgage your suite, these minutes will be required by the potential
