Kottsick stated she would be on vacation on March 30'~.
Wyckoffwas concerned as to why a couple of months ago we were looking for people to fill the
vacancies at 4607 Tyler Street, and now we have thirteen people on the waiting list. Kottsick stated that
she wasn't aware of any problems with these units since she took over the position and wasn't sure if
prior management had any problems and that the management records would probably show that
information.
CITIZEN FORUM TO ADDRESS EDA ON MATTERS NOT ON Tmr~ AGENDA
Irene Sufka, Unit 104, stated that the EDA meeting was not held at Parkview Villa in February and asked
what the results of the Resident Survey were. Ruettimann read the results of the survey as printed in the
February 20, 2001 minutes.
RECOGNITION~ PROCLAMATIONS~ PRESENTATIONS, GUESTS- None.
PUBLIC mV. ARINGS- None.
ITEMS FOR CONSIDERATION
A. Other Resolutions.
1) Approve Resolution 2001-04, Public Housing Assessment System (PHAS)
Management Operations Certification- Randy Schumacher.
Schumacher stated the annual HUD report is required for management of Public Housing units. The
blank areas on the form are programs or policies we currently do not have in place. The report deals with
management performance issues as they relate to rental information and capital expenses. Following
Board approval, the report will be electronically submitted to HUD.
Nawrocki questioned why the high number of turnaround days under Sub-Indicator #1, V12400.
Kottsick explained that the number is high due to: 1) renters are required to give a 30 or 60 day notice
before vacating their unit; 2) 120 days of the 912 was used for elevator modernization equipment storage
during that process; and 3) sometimes it takes more time to clean up and/or make repairs to unit, because
the resident lived there many years.
Discussion included why the deposit is not kept if the renter or prospective renter; 1) does not move out
on time, 2) leaves the unit in need of extensive repairs; or 3) backs out of moving in at the last minute.
Ruettimann requested Kottsick to do a breakdown of the 912 vacant hours.
MOTION by Szurek, seconded by Wyckoff, to approve EDA Resolution 2001-04, Being a Resolution of
the Columbia Heights Economic Development Authority confirming approval of the Public Housing
Assessment Systems (PHAS) Management Operations Certification; and furthermore to direct the
Executive Director to forward same to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. All
ayes. MOTION CARRIED.

Commissioners and staff clarified some of the issues on the Annual Report for Commissioner Nawrocki.
Staff was also asked to provide him with a copy of the Agency Plan for Public Housing that was
adopted.
ADMINISTRATIVE REPORTS
A. Presidents Report- Robert Ruettimann.
1) Develop Task Force Committee
Ruettimann suggested that a Task Force Committee be formed to work on the implementation of the
Downtown Master Plan. The Task Force would consist of seven members from the following
departments or committees: EDA, Bob Ruettimann and Pat Jindra; Planning and Zoning, Tom Ramsdell;
City Council, Bruce Nawrocki; Public Works, Kevin Hansen or Kathy Young; Staff, Walt Fehst or
Randy Schumacher; and Finance, Bill Elrite or a staff member to be available as needed. This
committee would serve as an advisory group to start the redevelopment process. They would take this
information to each of their commissions, indicating what may need to be approved in each stage of the
Downtown Master Plan. He also recommended that thc Task Force establish a common meeting date
and goals for the Committee.
MOTION by Nawrocki, seconded by Williams, to establish a Redevelopmental Advisory Committee as
outlined by the President of the EDA, with appointments to the committee to be made by the Chair, Bob
Ruettimann and Co-Chair, Pat Jindra. All ayes. MOTION CARRIED.
2) Status Report on Remodeling at Parkview Villa.
Ruettimann referred to the Board direction to remodel units 106 and 102 to the current Handicap
Accessible requirements. After looking into the costs of remodeling, the Davis Bacon requirements for
labor standards, Lead Base Paint issues, and required bid specifications, staff has recommended that the
units should not be remodeling at this time, and therefore authorized Kottsick to rent out unit 106.
3) Lead Base Paint Assessment at Parkview Villa.
Schumacher explained that HUD has come out with a new Lead Base Paint requirement for Public
Housing units, which impacts all future leases at Parkview Villa. The requirement applies when you
disturb two square feet of paint, or when you have children ages six or under in a unit. Parkvicw Villa
does not qualify for the exemption and will need to complete a Lead Base Paint evaluation. Schumacher
has contacted other cities that have already complied with the requirements. The testing will cost
approximately $3,756.
Ruettimann suggested the City Building Official, Mel Collova, obtain certification to do Lead Base Paint
testing for the City of Columbia Heights. Ruettimann will check into the cost of this training and will
speak to Collova in regards to his interest in being certified for the Lead Base testing.
4) CDBG Grant Funds
Staff has applied for $300,000 in CDBG Funds for 2001. Anoka County Housing staff has
recommended $200,000 be allotted to Columbia Heights. Schumacher will get a final determination next
week of the amount to be received.
Wyckoff asked if the purchase of the Conoco Station fell through, if the funds could be used on another
project. Ruettimann stated the Board could apply for fund reallocation.

B. Report of the Acting Deputy Executive Director- Randy Sehumacher.
1) Parking Ramp Report on Physical Audit.
Schumacher explained that at the February, 2001 EDA meeting, the Board discussed options relating to
the pending maintenance agreement with Columbia Park Medical Group on the 4011 Van Buren Street
Parking Ramp. Staff has obtained an evaluation of the parking ramp patrons from the Police Department
and a proposal from Vedi Associates, Inc. to perform a Physical Condition Audit of the ramp in the
amount of $6,710.
The Commissioners had many questions they want answers to before signing this agreement.
Ruetfimann will contact Mr. Vedi to clarify issues that are unclear in the proposal.
2) Update Capital Improvement Plan for Parkview Villa.
Staff has updated the draft informational sheets for Parkview Villas Capital ImprovemenffReplacement
Schedule. This program was last reviewed in 1999. A five-year schedule was added. This indicates
future expenses to maintain Parkview Villa buildings. Staff asked that a sub committee be assigned to
review, update, adjust, and submit a recommendation to the Board for approval.
Ruettimann suggested prioritizing repairs to be done this year, or if they can be done in the furore. He
stated he will get a clear understanding of what funds are in the budget so as to determine what repairs
need to be done this year.
Szurek stated that she was on the last CIP committee and at that time Bill Gault went through the units
suggesting what should be replaced and the approximate cost for each item, such as cupboards, stoves,
etc. Kottsick mentioned she will make notes for the committee during her annual inspection.
Ruettimann assigned Commissioners Jindra, Nawrocki and Szurek to do an assessment of all the
apartments at Parkview Villa and present the Board with a list of repairs that need to be done now or in
the future.
C. Report of the Executive Director-None.
D. Transition Block Redevelopment Project for the 22 Units of Affordable
Townhomes.
Schumacher on behalf of the Executive Director presented the plan for 22 Units of Affordable
Townhomes, for review of the exterior presentation. The closing of the property will be held on
Monday, March 26, 2001. He indicated that Fehst felt the exterior of the building appeared to be very
plain and unattractive. He asked that any comments or suggestions be brought to his attention before the
closing on Monday.
Ruettimann and Jindra reviewed the plan, as they had not seen them before.
The Board recommended the developer, add a different colored siding to the front three peaks of the
complex, to present an accent for the exterior of the units.
MOTION by Ruettimann, seconded by Williams, to state that the drawings brought before the EDA
Board did not meet what the Board's expectations of the building were to be. All ayes. MOTION
CARRIED.

E. Attachments- Resident Council Minutes of February 12, 2001- Pat Jindra.
Jindra submitted the minutes of the meeting that she attended and reported on last month.
Ruettimann requested approval for Jindra to attend the Resident Council meetings each month, instead of
quarterly, and that she be reimbursed for her attendance.
MOTION by Ruettimann, seconded by Peterson, to approve Jindra attending the Resident Council
Meetings on a monthly basis, present a monthly report to the Board, and reimbursed her for attendance at
the meetings. All ayes. MOTION CARRIED.
Other Business
Jindra asked if we still have the PA System at Parkview Villa that you could use for announcing different
events, meetings, fire drills, etc. A resident stated the Fire Department told residents that management
could not use the system, as it should only be used for emergencies by the Fire Department. She stated
that in the past, the system was used to alert residents during tornado warnings. Ruettimann requested
Schumacher check with the Fire Department on the status of the PA System, and if management can use
itfor their announcements.
Ruettimann again requested that the HRA take over Parkview Villas North building, and that the EDA
keep the south building. This would free up time to work on development of the two areas of the city.
The HRA would only focus on the North building and the EDA could go forth with the development of
the city. Szurek, the new HRA Chair, will discuss this at the next HRA meeting.
MEETINGS
The next EDA meeting is scheduled for 6:30 p.m., Tuesday, April 17, 2001 in Community Room B at
Parkview Villa.

Sale of 3913 Polk Street DATE: April 12, 2001
BACKGROUND: The on again, off again project located at 4401 Quincy or the Hemak property, is
moving forward again. I have enclosed earlier letters to the EDA Board dealing with this issue for
Historical issues. I have recently met with the owners of 4401 Quincy Street and they are know in the
position to move ahead and sell the property to the EDA. As you recall the original plan last year was
for the EDA to acquire 4401 Quincy Street and transfer ownership to Habit for Humanity together with
3913 Polk Street, giving Habitat for Humanity three build able lots.
Pursuant to Statute 469, "an Economic Development Authority may sell and convey property owned by
it within the City after holding a Public Hearing on said sale". At this time I am asking the EDA Board
to conduct this Public Hearing to take public input and make a determination if this project should move
forward.
RECOMMENDATION: The staff is recommending that the EDA Board set a Public Heating date of
May 15, 2001, at 7:00 p.m. at Parkview Villa for the purpose of receiving public input on the sale of
3913 Polk Street N.E. to Habitat for Humanity.
RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to set a Public Hearing date of May 15, 2001, at 7:00 p.m. at

2000 EDA Board meeting, staff brought forward the proposal to acquire 4401 Quincy Street NE (Presently on
the TIF scattered site homes to be purchased list.) A preliminary agreement has been reached with Habitat for
Humanity for the City to receive $21,000 in exchange for the double lot on Quincy and the vacant lot at 3913
Polk Street. Habitat for Humanity would be responsible for the removal of the Quincy home and the
construction of three new three or four bedroom homes. After a lengthy discussion by the EDA Board, staff
was requested to conduct a physical inspection of the Quincy home (See attached Building Official Report.)
Mr. Collova's inspection of the property produced ~he following recommendation: "based on the condition of
the roof, windows, lack of a hard surface driveway, the question of structural stability, the cost of the asbestos
removal, and the cost of engineering reports, my opinion is that it would not be economically feasible to
rehabilitate the structure". A cost estimate from Du-All to rehab the building in the total amount of
$53,712.69 is attached. The Building Official recommends razing the building, conducting a visual evaluation
of the soils conditions, and performing any site correction. In addition, the City is in receipt of a letter fi'om the
Minnesota Historical Society stating that they concluded that no properties eligible for or listed on the National
R"~' ;ter of Historic places would be affected by this project.
Mr. Gordon Awsumb, a local developer from Columbia Heights, contacted me with a proposal to rehab the
Quincy home. He felt the maximum purchase price could not exceed $75,000. He confirmed the need to
invest $35 to $40,000 in rehabilitation costs prior to resale. He will be meeting with the property owners on
April 13 or 14 to discuss this proposal, therefore, the EDA tabled consideration until the April 18tb meeting.
RECOMMENDATION: At this time, staffis in a position to enter into a purchase agreement with the present
owners of the Quincy property and fulfill the requirements as outlined in the original HOME Grant
Application. If the $70,000 in HOME Funds are not going to be used in the acquisition of this property, then
the Board should direct staff to contact Anoka County to reallocate those funds to an alternative applicant.

Dear Mr. Hollman:
Thank you for the opportunity to review and comment on the above project. It has been reviewed pursuant to ~he
responsibilities given the State Histodc Preservation Officer by the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 and
the Procedures of the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation (36CFR800).
The'~ouse 'at 4401 Quincy Street NE is an interesting mid-20"' century building constructed by John W. Hemak, who
was an active Columbia Heights resident. However, based on our review of the information submitted on the
house and on Mr. Hemak, we do not believe that this house meets National Register cdteda.
Therefore, we conclude that no properties eligible for or listed on the National Register of Historic Places will
be affected by this project.
Please contact Dennis Gimmestad at (651)296-5462 if you have any questions regarding our review of this project.

Possible rehabilitation of 4401 Quincy St. N.E.
At the request of the Columbia Heights Economic Development Authority (EDA), I conducted an inspection and
have assessed the condition of the Building (see attached).
I have other concerns with a proposed rehabilitation of the building as follows:
I) There is a large crack in the floor of the area that once was a TV repair shop. My experience on cracks of
this type is that there must be a reason why this happened. It is not a garage floor, slab on grade, but a slab
placed on a foundation. There is def'mitely a problem that carmot be repaired by f'filing in the crack. Some
type of movement, whether or not it is foundation or ground movement, must be determined by a licensed
soil engineer. I would estimate the repair to exceed $8,000 for this area. I could not issue a permit for the
repair of the floor without the "required" engineering report. Issuing a permit without the report could and
probably would leave the City liable for any future damage to the area. The future owner comes back to the
City stating a report should have been conducted prior to issuance of a permit for the repair.
There is an area of foundation blocks that are deteriorating to the point of being scraped with f'mgemails to
remove masonry. In rids area an engineering report with the recommended repair must be submitted prior
to pemait issuance for the same reasons as stated in gl above. It should also be noted most of the
foundation walls are f'mished and a thorough investigation cannot be conducted until all the wall coveting
is removed exposing the foundation.
2)
3)
The windows and roof are in extremely poor shape. All would have to be replaced. But only after an
engineering report for items #1 and #2 are completed.
In summary if the building is to be rehabilitated, it should be rehabilitated to a safe building with "eye appeal."
What would be gained by saving a future dilapidated unsafe structure? Are we going to allow a "paint and patch" or
should we either do the job right by complete and safe reconstruction or should we just forget the building and opt
for one or more new buildings? ·
Depending on what funds are used to rehabilitate, the workers could have to be paid prevailing wage for the project.
This would drive the cost up possibly to exceed $60,000. If the owners are not willing to settle for a $50,000 offer, I
don't see how it could be economically feasible to rehabilitate the building. Due to the condition of the inside of the
building and due to the amount of settlement in the area that is round, my recommendation is to raze the building
and prepare the site for furore development.
! have contacted one of our local restoration contractors about this property and hope to have an estimate of exterior
repairs by the date of this meeting, March 21, 2000

Re: Inspection Report on 4401 Quincy Street N.E.
BackEround:
At the request of the Columbia Heights' Economic Development Authority (EDA), I conducted
an inspection and have assessed the condition of the building at 4401 Quincy street N.E. There is
some question as to the actual date the structure was built. The original permit was issued in
1946. The assessing records list 1947 as the build date. Please note, the assessor would list the
year that the improvements or pans thereof could be taxed. The plumbing permit for all the
fixtures necessary to make the structure habitable was not issued until 1951. The structure was
built in an area designated as a flood zone. The area was removed from the flood zone on
February 16, 1993 by the U.S. Army Corp of En~4neers.
Analysis:
I conducted an inspection of the property on February 22, 2000. The exterior is in fair condition
with evidence of structural failure at the southeast and northeast comers of the building. The
masonry chimney appears to be "pulling away" from the structure. There is settlement in the
walks around the dwelling that are consistent with clay type soils. Someone has placed garden
hoses on the roof in an attempt to drain water offthe flat roof. The slope of the roof allows water
to pool in certain areas. The exterior bow windows at the southwest comer are single pane glass.
There is quite a bit of rot rendering the condition of the window frames as poor. The window
sills at the large southeast bow window are "tipped" down allowing water to nm toward the
interior wall. There is separation of the north-south living room wall at the north end of the wail.
(See photos). The interior of the dwelling is outdated and functionally obsolete. There is nothing
unique when compared to other d~vellings built in the 40's or 50's. The bedrooms are obsolete
with a width of only seven feet. The length of one is only eight feet without a closet. Another
bedroom measured just seven by fourteen. The standard width ora double bed is four feet. The
first floor appears to have been tiled with "asbestos" tile as is the basement floor. The floors on
the first floor and basement appear to list toward the exterior foundation. Possibly the perimeter
foundation has sunk leaving the foundation under the center load beating wall at ori~nal height.
The basement ceiling also appears to have asbestos in the tile. These items would have to be sent
to an agency for evaluation. The outdated plumbing fixtures are not unique and were common in
the homes built at the time. The foundation walls under the living space appear to be
Page 2
Inspection
disintegrating possibly due to moisture or a poor grade of block. Not all the blocks are visible as
most of the basement is "finished." The area formerly a television repair facility has a large crack
_o_f'_~o[e than, o,n.,e inch,.wi,'de ,fo, llowi~,, g ~e foundation at the south wall. Again this appears to be
~ome type otmtlure oitae Slan an~or the foundation.
While conducting the inspection I met the owner, Carol Pikala. She stated no person in the
family was interested in owning the property. She had even contacted several distant relatives.
They also were not interested.
.,Recommendation:
If the building is to remain or be rehabilitated and meet minimum State Code requirements, a
structural engineer must be consulted to perform an evaluation of the structural stabihty of the
structure as well as a soil eng-ineer to determine the stability of the soils on the site although the
soils appear to be stable at this time, there may have been a problem when this was a flood zone.
;
Howeveribased on the condition of the roof, windows, lack of a hard surfaced driveway, the
question ~f structural stability, the cost of asbestos removal, and the cost of engineering reports,
my opinion is it would not be economically feasible to rehabilitate the structure. Rehabilitation
would also require meeting current Building Codes which would add even more costs to the
project. I would recommend razing the building, conducting a visual evaluation of the soil
condition, and performing any soil correction if necessary.

FACT: Removing lead-based paint improperly can increase the danger to your family.
If you think your home m/ght have lead hazard, mad this lmmpMet to learn some simple steps to
protect your family. .
LEAD (]ETS rN THE BODY IN MANY WAYS
* 1 out of every 11 ch/ldren in the Un/ted States has dangerous levels of lead in the bloodstream.*
· Even children who appear healthy can have dangerous levels of lead.*
People can get lead in their body if they:
· Put their hands or other objects covered w/th lead dust in their mouths.
· Eat paint chips or soil that contain lead.'
· Breathe in lead dust (especially during renovations that disturb painted surfaces).
Lead is even more dangerous to children than adults because:
· Babies and young children often put their hands and other objects in their mouths. These
objects can have lead dust on them.
· Children's growing bodies absorb more lead.
· Children's bra/ns and nervous systems are more sensitive to the damaging effects of lead.
Lead's Effects
If'nOt detected early, children with high levels of lead in their bodies can suffer fi.om:
· Damage to the brain and nervous system
· Behavior and learning problems (such as hyperact/vity)
· Slowed growth
· _H_earing problems
· Headaches
Lead
is also ha.nnful to adults. Adults can suffer from:
· _Di.~culties during pregnancy
· Other reproductive problems (in both men and women)
· High blood pressure
· Digestive problems
· Nerve disorders
· Memory and concentration problems
· Muscle and joint pain
· Lead affects the body in many ways.*
CHECKING YOUR FAMILY FOR LEAD
*Get your children tested if you .tllink your home has high levels'0flead..
A simple blood test can det~t high levels of lead. Blood tests ar~ important for:
· Children who are 6 months to 1 old (6 months if you live in an older home that might
ave.!ead in me p 0.
· ramuy members that you think might have high levels of lead.
If your child is older than 1 year, talk to your doctor about wh~her your child needs testing.
Your doctor or health center can do blood tests. They are inexpensive and sometimes free. Your
doctor will explain what the test results mean. Treatment can range from changes in your diet to
medication or a hospital stay.
WHERE LEAD-BASED PAINT IS FOUND
*In general, the older your home, the more likely it has lead-based paint. *
Many homes built before. 1978 have lead-based paint. In 197g, the federal government banned lead-
based paint from housing. Lead can be found:
· In homes in the city, country, or suburbs.
· In apartments, single-family homes, and both private and public housing.
· Inside and outside of the house.
· In soil around a home. (Soil can Pick up lead from exterior paint, or other sources such as past
use of leaded gas in cars.)
WHERE LEAD IS LIKELY TO BE A HAZARD
*Lead from paint chips, which you can see, and lead dust, which you can't always see, can both be
serious hazards.*
Lead-based paint that is in good condition is usually not a hazard.
Peeling, chipping, chalking, or cracking lead-based paint is a hazard and needs immediate attention.
Lead-based paint may also be a hazard when found on surfaces that children can chew or that get a
lot of wear-and-tear. These areas include:
· Windows and window sills.
· Doors and door frames.
· Stairs, railings, and banisters.
· Porches and fences.

,~, l~>,lntea surfaces t)ump or rub together. Lead chips and dust can get on surfaces and objects that
people touch. Settled lead dust can reenter the air when people vacuum, sweep, or walk through it.
Lead in sgil can be a hazard when children play in bare soil or when people bring soil into the house
on their shoes. Call your state agency (see below) to find out about soil testing for lead.
CI-I~CK/NG YOUR HOlVI~ FoP. LEAD HAZARDS
*Just knowing that a home has lead-based paint may not tell you if there is a hazard.*
You can get your home checked for lead hazards in one of two ways,.0r both:

HOW TO SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCE LEAD HAZARDS
*Removing lead improperly can increase the hazard to your family by spreading even more lead dust
around the house.*
*Always use a professional who is trained to remove lead hazards safely.*
In addition to day-to-day cleaning and good nutrition:
· You can temporarily reduce lead hazards by'taking actions like repairing damaged painted
surfaces and planting grass to cover soil with high lead levels· These actions (called "interim
controls") are not permanent solutions and will not eliminate all risks of exposure.
· To permanently remove lead hazards, you must hire a lead "abatement" contractor. Abatement
(or permanent hazard elimination) methods include removing, sealing, or enclosing lead-based
paint with special materials, lust painting over the hazard with regular paint is not enough.
Always hire a person with special training for correcting lead problems--someone who knows how to

if financial assistance is available.
REMODELING OR RENOVATING A HOME WITH LEAD-BASED PAINT
*If' not conducted properly, certain types of renovations can release lead from paint and dust into the
air.*
Take precautions before you begin remodeling or renovations that disturb painted surfaces (such as
scraping offpaint or tearing out walls):
· Have the area tested for lead-based paint.
· Do not use a dry scraper, belt-sander, propane torch, or heat gun to remove lead-based paint.
These actions create large mounts of lead dust and fumes. Lead dust can remain in your home
long after the work is done.
· Temporarily move your family (especially children and pregnant women) out of the apartment
or house until the work is done and the area is prOperly cleaned. If you can't move your family,
at least completely seal offthe work area.
· Follow other safety measures to reduce lead hazards. You can fred out about other safety
measures by calling 1-800-424-LEAD. Ask for the brochure "Reducing Lead Hazards When
Remodeling Your Home." This brochure explains what to do before, during, and after
renovations.
If you have already completed renovations or remodeling that could have released lead-based paint or
dust, get your young children tested and follow the steps outlined above in this brochure.
OTHER SOURCES OF LEAD
*While paint, dust, and soil are the.most common lead hazards, other lead sources also exist.*
· Drinking water. Your home might have plumbing with lead or lead solder. Call your local
health department or water supplier to find out about testing your water. You cannot see, smell,
or taste lead, and boiling your water will not get rid of lead. If you think your plumbing might
have lead in it:
o Use only cold water for drinking and cooking.
o Run water for 15 to 30 seconds before drinking it, especially if you have not used your
water for a few hours.
. The job. If you work with lead, you could bring it home on yo~ hands or'61othes. Shower and
change clothes before coming home. Launder your clothes separately from the rest of your
family's.
· Old painted toys and furniture.
· t, eaa smelters or other mdustri~ that release lead'into the air. '
· Hobbies that use lead, such
. as _making ~,~t~., or stained glass, or refi,l,h;ng furniture.
· Folk remedies that contain ,lead, such as grea" and "azarcon" used to treat an upset stomach.

Resident Council Meeting Minutes
April 9, 2001
The President opened the meeting at 7 p.m.
The Pledge of Allegiance was said and then the Assistant Fire Chief, Dana Alexon was
introduced to residents.
Alexon gave a presentation of who, what, and a typical day of the Fire Department in
Columbia Heights. Eight full time Firemen, twenty-two on call, three reserves, and six
fire cadets make up the department. Their duties range from answering emergency calls,
doing inspections of businesses and rental properties and home properties. They
answered 2,067 calls last year and nearly 4,000 inspections were made. Most calls are
for medical emergencies (4 out of 5). They also give public education in schools on fire
safety. Dana explained the alarm system in Parkview Villa, the importance of smoke
detectors in their apartments, the building is designed for safety, he urged keeping doors
shut in each apartment and not propping them open when visiting neighbors, smokers
need to be sure to dispose of ashes safely and not to smoke in their beds. Parkview Villa
is a smoke-free building, which means that there is no smoking in the garage and all
common rooms. There was a question and answer period. Dana gave an excellent slide
presentation and information to the residents.
Anita gave her management report and passed around a sample entrance card and had an
information meeting scheduled for April 12 and 16th. The North building inspections will
be held this month. Residents were asked to tell visitors not to park in the circle drive up
area for loading and unloading because this is an emergency route. It was reported that
weekend noise and non-residents roaming the halls was a problem. When guests leave,
residents must make sure they leave the building and not just leave the apartment.
Residents were reminded to not let anyone that doesn't live in the building enter with
them. Anita is working on getting a 911 call button, for the entrance to the building.
Residents were reminded they should call 911 if trespassers are in the building.
The meeting continued with the Secretary, Treasurer, and Committee Reports.
A dinner and special trips were announced.
There were about 60 residents in attendance at the meeting.
The meeting was then adjourned.
