Reading and approval of the 7/13/2005 CDS Board meeting minutes:
Motion:

A motion to waive reading and approve the minutes from the 7/13/2005 board meeting was made by Joe Sheare and seconded.
The motion passed unanimously.

Review of Financial Results:

Frank Dean covered the financials provided by Buck Mann (Mann Properties) which confirmed the Checking, Savings and Accounts Receivable account balances: Checking - $29,190, Savings – $79,467 & A/R - $1,078.

Canal Side Repairs/Maintenance Project:

1. Project Status - Frank Dean:
Frank Dean reported that the project has been slowed recently due to the number of 3rd floor balconies being constructed. From a cash flow perspective that’s a good thing. Four of the last eight units have been started and to-date the amount of rot seems to be less than in previous units. Because of all the 3rd floor balconies an August completion is not likely. Frank reported that when the Canal Side is completed CW Building Services would begin working on owner requests for windows and sliders on the street side. What impact, if any, on starting the Roof Project on the 770 Building in December is an unknown.

2. Window & Door reimbursements – Frank Dean:
Window reimbursements in the amount of $1,000.00 are approved for the following units:
#636 (McDonald), #634 (Conley), #632 (Donoma Development) and #630 (Smerechenski).
There are currently no other outstanding reimbursements.

Buck Mann (Mann Properties) will issue checks this week.

Roof & AC Project
National HVAC:

1. Owners that have contacted National HVAC for service have reported that the service has been prompt and reasonably priced.

2. Several owners contacted by board members regarding the special meeting were confused about the air conditioning selections included in the materials they received. The A/C selection data was provided for "information only" but since it had a place for initials some owners thought a decision had to be made and sent back with the proxy.

4th Street Design Proposal:

We have not received the proposal Peter was to prepare and Frank Dean has not had an opportunity follow-up to-date.

C/W Building Services:
Frank Dean has requested a cash requirement for major expenses from Walt Smelter (C/W Building Services) so that he can provide the Bank with our cash needs for the loan application.

Special Meeting phone calls:
1. The Board of Directors is attempting to call all owners to urge them to get their proxy’s returned, even if they are planning to attend the September 11th Special Meeting, so that we can start loan process as soon as possible.
