Townhouse board meeting

Glenn Zarpaylic, general manager of the townhouse association discussed problems with the irrigation pumps in Coronado and Valencia Courts.
Both courts are dealing with defective systems with wiring which not only falls below current code but could endanger maintenance crews and people in the lakes with the pumps.
The defects were discovered while GFI switches at the meter boxes were being changed out as part of court maintenance.
Several solutions were discussed but board members decided they must send letters to the court homeowners letting them know of the situation and all possible solutions and costs involved.
In Coronado Courts one of the pumps is working just fine and the other is a hazard. To bring the one system up to code it would cost $4,450 and that does not include upgrading the old pump. Coronado Court only has $5,343.95 in its capital reserve fund. Of that, $4,600 must stay in the account as a cushion. The spendable funds have been earmarked for repairing sidewalks and trash corrals.
Zarpaylic believes the hazard of the uneven sidewalks is the number one safety priority. Court members will have to prioritize expenditures.
Board members were able to view the new website today for a one day only evaluation. The board members have been asked to make suggestions and comments concerning the look of the website.
Cost of engineering plans for the Guadalajara bridge were discussed at the board meeting. The cost of the plans alone are $2,750 to be divided between the two townhouse owners effected by the bridge and $6,100 for the townhouse association’s share. The townhouse is prepared to go ahead with the payment of their share and to put the job out for bids. The townhouse owners have not committed to paying for their share of the plans.
Other housekeeping items discussed at the board meeting will be voted on at the next meeting of the board on May 14 at 10:30 a.m.
