Review of the Draft Reserve Fund Study (7:10 – 9:00)


The Board and Matthew Cogliati review the draft document based on the written comments
provided by the board to BLP in advance of the meeting. The Board requests clarification and
further explanation in several parts of the text of the document. Alternative scenarios for reserve

circumstances that could affect the Condominium legally or may require a special assessment.

proposals submitted to the Corporation, the Board set a meeting with Moda Renovation to
discuss proposal and technical detail for implementation.

Review of maintenance and repairs

1
Unit 405 had a water leak due to ice damming. Management had a contractor proceed to have
the heat wire functional that was used in the past to hinder leaks from occurring. Unit 303 was
affected by the leak as well with a drip in their ceiling which will also be attended to.

There was a ceiling leak at unit 409 and investigative work by Multi-Drain must be done with the
storm stack to determine if the leak is the cement pipe/clamp or the roof.

Michael Shaikin has given his written resignation from the Board due to other commitments.
Possible replacement to be suggested and invited to join the Board.
