We hope that our momentum going forward will continue throughout the new year. I feel very positive that only good things will be happening here in the future. Thank you for your patience and good will. Please know that when unexpected occurrences happen, we do everything possible to remedy them as fast and efficiently as possible. There is no need to burst into the office yelling and screaming at employees. It’s not their fault. Again, the buck stops with me, so yell at me. We are here to accommodate – not to alienate.

Impact Glass Door

Holiday Season Lobby

I do have one point of contention that I must address – Proxies. Ladies and gentlemen, please understand that we send out these proxies for a reason. It is required in the Condominium documents that we vote on our reserve fund, as to whether it should be partially or fully funded. If (according to our documents) we DO NOT get a majority vote, we would have to fully fund our reserves, which would result in an increase in your quarterly assessment, and then I would definitely hear from most of you. Why do I have to beg and plead for you to send or hand in these forms? Please, get with the program. I’m not asking you to run for office, just let me know how you feel on these issues. As a reminder, beginning of January, I will be sending out proxies for the balcony door. A “FOR” or “AGAINST” check mark is all I am asking. Keep in mind this is only for replacing your door. You will not be forced to change the door until you are ready and then it will have to be with an impact glass replacement.

I would like to address another issue - all the hallway “stuff”. After the first of the year all objects, decorations, packages, will be removed. This is in our rules and regulations and a potential hazard – no ifs, ands, or buts – GONE. Decorations on doors that do not protrude beyond the main apartment recess are permitted.
