Mr. Molina opened the floor to any residents that had questions or concerns for the Board.

  1. Mr. Jules Krasnov asked the Board why they have not installed last Menorahs in front of each of the gatehouses. The Board responded that these are religious symbols and would not be appropriate. Mr. Molina asked if any Board member felt that this issue should be looked into and there was no interest.
  1. Mr. Levin brought up that several residents have Guest Lists with 30 plus names on them and he felt that this should not be allowed. After some discussion it was felt that we couldn’t set a limit on the number of guests that a person can place on their list.

 LEGAL REPORT

 The floor was turned over to Mr. Weinberg who presented his legal report.

 Mr. Weinberg started his report by going over current collection matters. He reported that there were 14 collection matters since the last meeting. Of these 4 units are in bank foreclosure, 8 residents have filed for bankruptcy, and 2 are in foreclosure by the Association. Mr. Weinberg also reported that all other collection from the last meeting have been paid in full.

Mr. Weinberg brought the Board up to date on the violation matters that were turned over to his office. He suggested that a second letter giving a final 10 days be sent right after New Year’s and that any unresolved issues be discussed at the January meeting.

Finally Mr. Weinberg went over his proposed letter that he would like sent to those residents that have fountains and did not respond to the letter sent out by Mr. Brawer.

Mr. Marty Friedman asked and was grant permission to talk with the city to see if these owners received city permits for the fountains. He pointed out that fountains are considered “structures” by the city and therefore need Building Permits.

Board members asked that they be given the next month to study the letter and that a decision be made at the next meeting.
