FW: This morning's Roof visit

[Baum, Michael]

 

 

Hello everyone,

I talked with the lead Criterium guy (his name?) just as he was completing his tour of roof 3, which had the large ponding of water after significant rainstorms.  He agrees that the ponding is not solely due to tree leaf debris clogging the drain, and that the pitch of the roof to the drain is not quite right.  There is one more instrument he wants to apply to his analysis before writing his report.  Shannon was part of the conversation and will need to accommodate one more #3 roof visit.  There is apparently a fix to the problem that doesn’t involve ripping up the new roof.  

While waiting for the Criterium visitors to complete their work on Roof 3, Shannon told me that there was a large pow-pow at TDG about whether a member of TDG major projects team should be here this morning in addition to/or instead of Shannon.  They all begged off with 'more important tasks'—and sent Shannon.  She asked whether I could tell Mike M. Etc. that the SPA trustees ‘were not pleased’ ;  I said ‘of course you can’.   

As Amy related from her recent conversation with Lauren Lima,  TDG now expects that we will drop them as our management team.  Their behavior this morning confirms this conclusion. We shouldn’t prove them wrong.  Even so, It would be nice to hold Matt Page to his promise to complete our security system upgrade ‘before the end of 2025’.   Amy, do you have a diagram showing our perimeter basement walls?  I’d like to add my survey of the status of all of our outer doors to that diagram, and then get in touch with Matt to push.    Thanks, Michael

So that’s a little worrisome that they didn’t even want to try to save the ‘relationship’. It’s going to be a while till we have a new company so we’ll need to keep them at least a little on the line. I’m glad we figured out the roof issue. Brian (Criterium) will write a report. All of which is annoying because we will pay for all of this. Meantime, I’ll send an email to Maria tomorrow to get the calls to new companies started. We might want to plan a meeting of the Trustees and Maria next week. Do you think there’s another owner that would be interested in joining?

Attached are two pdfs of the basement and the first floor.

Thanks, Amy, 

Yes, do contact Maria.   It would be good to include her in a non-official Zoom trustees meeting very soon, e.g., Tuesday Oct. 14 at 8:30 AM?  Manning Ding is another obvious candidate for the management selection task.  She’s pretty busy with her two children etc., but if they plan to continue living at SPA (?), she might be recruitable.  I’ve approached her in the past about becoming a trustee, without success.  At this point, perhaps another trustee should ask her about joining our search for a new management company..

Thanks for sending the basement map.   I’ll add my door status update and send it to Matt Page; we’ll see whether his promise to complete the security project in 2025 means anything.  Shannon promises to have another proposal for garage door replacement available when she visits us on Thursday.

Michael

I just sent an email to Manning. Any way we could do the meeting not on a Tuesday morning when my cleaning lady is here?
