Comments via e-mails buses too big, buses too noisy.

Treas.- Report: Proxy Signatures still needed, 232 is the number needed to move forward, we

have broken the 200 mark. This is VERY Important big increases are in store for the owners if

your Association has not signed it. Talk to you Association, get your President to sign and it

gives US the power to renegotiate the whole lease and eliminate the arbitration loss and also

eliminate the second arbitration for the 3 plus million-dollar cost of the HVAC at the clubhouse.

Insurance has gone up drastically, new cost gone up materially allocate different premiums for

those associations not taking care of their buildings.

Problem with allocation, one line item that has not been seen before is contribution for

Reserves (presently a little over $10 million). It was previously in General Expenses, it is nowon

it’s own line item.

YTD we are under budget. Any questions, feel free to come into UCO and speak directly with the

Treasurer.

Recording Sec.-Treasurer pretty much covered everything with proxy signatures, putting out a

call for volunteers to help out at UCO. Stated concerns over WPRF closing on Christmas. It needs to be addressed also management. Changes needed with

Security contracts. They need to be merged, UCO and WPRF. One company for the whole

village.

David Boas, VP- Correction about the band for the cancelled New Year’s Eve Party, we did have

to pay for the band as they did not have time to get another job for the date. All other

performers have been very obliging.

One of the jobs I do is look at stacks of invoices and scan them into the system. Occasionally

make suggestions for change of vendors and they are at times taken. Sent an email to Eva,

Monica and Dan, RE: Charges of relocation of Cenrec offices. Cenrec billed UCO $1973.00.

E-mail sent: (Normally I would not include in minutes)

I recently came across this invoice from DSL Express for WPRF fro a total of $1973.00 for the

relocation of Administrative and ID Office in the CV Main Clubhouse. I know relocation is

necessary due to the renovations to MCH A/C. I know strictly speaking, your interpretation of

the lease would say that we, the residents, have to pay for this. In my opinion, it takes a lot of

hard bark to ask the residents to pay for this so Cenrec can continue business as usual at no

expense to themselves. I know we are at odds on the lease issue, but fair is fair. Management

should’ve gladly paid for this and any other related to this issue. I find that $1975 isn’t s whole

lot of money, but what does it take to move from one side of the building to the other? Once again, it’s we that have to pay. Management isn’t willing or able to pick up any share. We are

paying them to charge us. To me it’s not fair.

Monica has not replied and I have not heard anything of what Cenrec’s position on this.

This is another classic example of telling everyone here that haven’t gotten on the proxies with

the millennial agreement that it’s time for us to do that…if you haven’t signed, please do so…

The President agrees.

Ken Graff states that Eva has purchased 2 iPads for $1900

Fausto Fabbro, VP- Comments on upcoming elections. Be sure to vote for people that will do
