Bob Siskind advised that someone on Walt's crew told him that in order to meet their schedule only exterior rot would be fixed and wanted Frank to include this issue as well.

Roof Assessment:
Bob Siskind reported the results from the meeting with Potteiger & Raintree Tuesday, August 17 at 10:00AM .. P&RT is proposing a complete new roof material which is more resistant to cracking and cutting than either hot tar or rubber. The written proposal has not been received as of this date. Bob indicated that the cost would be approximately $7,000.00 per unit but that if we contracted for all roofs there would be a savings. Bob will get the written proposal from P&RT and Margie Rus (Mann Properties) will send to all board members for review prior to the next board meeting.

A proposal from Fourth Street Design Studio, Inc., Peter Miller, for designing a pitched roof system as been received. Based on the scope of services described for Preliminary Design and Design Development the total not-to-exceed fees for those services will be $11,000. The board will make a decision whether to go ahead with the design services after reviewing the Pottieger & Raintree proposal at the next board meeting.
