2. Agenda for next weeks Board Meeting: Steve needs it finalize today so he can post and mail this Friday.

3. Power cleaning sidewalks, curbs & patios: Bayside Sandblasting Inc. just gave us a revised quote: remove paint from curb, $1,700, clean sidewalks, patios & shuffle board area, $2,400. Put on Agenda for a vote.

4. East Tower, Fire Pump Room, rusting water pump pipe: Piper Fire quoted $3,600 to repair the rusting pipe. Put on Agenda for a vote.

5. Contract for hard wiring smoke detectors: McKee has been tied up on another project. They'll make another attempt to secure permits this week.

6. Contract to install new 3" water main pipes to the buildings: Allen Plumbing's contract is still being reviewed by our attorney. Steve will call the attorney for an update.

7. Underwater pool lights not working: Rick's Pool Service was contacted last week to do the repairs. Steve will call and find out when the repairs are scheduled.

8. Motion sensitive security lights for the pool area: McKee Electric will repair the lights. There may be a problem with the lights that were located on the north-west side of the clubhouse. They can't be located and may have been covered up during the renovation. Steve is trying to find anyone who remembers where the light was located.

9. Trespassers: have been spotted in the pool (at night) and going into the maintenance room for the pool/spa pump. Steve says that anyone who sees a trespasser should not try to confront them. Instead call the Pinellas Sheriff's non-emergency number, 727-582-6200. They'll respond and investigate.

10. Official pool hours: are from dawn to dusk. The pool can not be use after dark because our lighting is not up to code. Signs posted around the pool state that the pool closes at dusk.

11. Installation of fire sprinklers in trash chute: Contract was awarded to Piper Fire, for $420/building. When they went in to make the installation, they discovered that the sprinkler were in fact present (just difficult to find). Steve cancelled the contract.

12. Kayak being store illegally: Steve received a complaint about a resident storing a kayak in the carport. He is investigating and will send the resident a letter.

13. Steve is going on vacation: from Jun 25 - Jul 5, 09. He will be back to work on Monday Jul 6, 09.

14. Work order request: when a work order is received at CA, it is written up and given to Steve. He reviews the order with Bev and she developes a work list and supervises Jose #2. When he (Jose #2) finishes a work order item, he notes it on the Bev's work list. Steve checks the Bev's list weekly and deletes all finished work orders from CA's master list.

15. An owner's request for reimbursement for repair of water/mold damage: Steve has denied the request; however, he has sent the matter to our attorney for a final opinion.

16. Test area for walkway repair: Terry Howard requested that we identify an area the size of half an entire floor for Gulf Coast to test their repair solution. The area will be blocked off for 4-7 days. Steve believes that the 8th floor of the East Tower, from 801E to 803E is empty for the summer. He'll check with the owners and confirm that the area can be blocked off for the required period.

17. Black stain on 8th floor of West Tower: Steve received the work request for the paint stains on the 8th floor, from the front of the elevator to the trash chute. He recommends that we wait and let it be fixed in the walkway repair. My concern is that the Gulf Coast may not be willing to assume liability for the repair of the paint stains.
