ASCO Report (David Nicosia)
On April 20 there will be a Recycle-Rama in which you can recycle old flags, eyeglasses, fabric, yarn, and CFL bulbs. We will post the flier across from the receiving room for more information.
Home Improvement Committee (Scott Schmidtke)
The Committee met on March 26 and we discussed the replacement of the terrazzo and driveway. We are looking into poured concrete and have viewed a few samples. Currently we are thinking that 3′ by 3′ squares of a textured slate will be our best option. We will need to look into the ADA options for the ramps to the south and north of the building as well. We did make a few choices for the metal railing replacements as well. We would also like to address the light fixtures in the driveway and the mall plaza lighting as part of this project.
In addition, we have discussed the elevator redecorating and have preliminary proposals to review that would match the improvements that have already been made with the lobby renovation.
Finally we discussed options for the party room floor but would like to look at more samples and ideas before we make a recommendation.
Board Report (Carlos Vargas)
I would like for the Home Improvement Committee to discuss options for the safety of the building along with the front drive project. Specifically we used to have planters that would prevent a truck from driving into the building. I think that the committee should review this again and pursue options of this nature.
