PRESIDENT'S UPDATE
We’ve
started on the projects that need to be done this summer.
Painting is well underway, next is re-surfacing of the parking
lot. In November we took care of the sink holes we had in the
parking lot. A committee is working on the interiors of our
elevators. They should be done by fall.
The Wind
Insurance policy premium on the building was lowered this year.
That is great news for us.
We will
continue to do the best we can for our stockholders.
Everyone
have a healthy summer and we’ll see you all in the fall.
Mary Blanken, President
MANAGER'S REPORT
We have
been a very busy building lately. Many residents are heading
north for the summer to be with family or to get out of the
Florida heat. This time of the year we get to work on some of
the larger projects. Here are some of these projects:
The
painters are on the job, starting at the east end, then moving
around to the west and continue until they finished. The
painters are expecting to finish by the end of August.
The
parking lot will be seal coated when the painting is finished.
This should be finished by the time people return from up
north.
The
elevator cab committee is working on the interiors of the
passenger elevators. This should be done by fall. A new floor
is going to be installed in the service elevator.
We have
started work on the emergency intercom system in the hallways.
This will start on the first floor and work up.
Leigh Strasser, Manager
ELEVATOR CABS
The elevator committee,
chaired by Sheldon Hyatt, has been working diligently on
re-doing the three passenger elevators and the service
elevator. We are very close to making a decision on the product
that will be the most durable and also look as beautiful as
possible. The cost is also paramount in our decision making.
We will display the products we choose.
OUR DOCK
You might
have noticed the yellow tape on our dock. The dock must be
replaced because the wood is rotting on the top and the nails
are sticking up. In September we applied for permits from the
following:
1) Army
Corp of Engineers
2) The
Dept. of Environmental Protection
3) Broward
County
4) City of
Ft. Lauderdale
This has
all been done through our contractor. The approval has taken
forever, however, the project has been approved and started.
THIS & THAT...
Guests
Please
remember that all overnight guests are expected to be
registered in advance by using the form available in the
office. Article XIV of the by-laws and the CRTN Guide should
be referred to for details concerning guests.
Direct Pay
Plan
More
than 70% of our eligible stockholders have signed up for the
easy direct payment plan for CRTN carrying charges. The
automatic bank debit program allows residents to have their
monthly charges debited directly out of their checking
accounts. Shareholders wishing to participate may obtain the
necessary form from the office. It’s completely voluntary.
