The following email from Jack Israel l is reprinted in its entirety.
"Charlie:
How about starting a blog item on new carpeting
in BCC? We SAVED $250k last year by cutting contracts. We budgeted
$140k for new carpeting in BCC. We are all paying for that. Do
people want to replace the 20-year-old+ carpeting or are they happy with
it? Does the board majority intend to spend any money on carpeting this
year (it's already August)? If not, where is that money going?
Rebates at the end of the year? Lowering the maintenance next year?
Is that a good idea?
Also, there is $46k in the budget for upgrading
bathrooms in Recs 2 and 3. What is the story with that? Do people
want Bay Colony Club or Bay Colony Slum?
This is a serious issue in terms of whether we
are spending enough money on capital improvements. Some want to spend as
little as possible, others want to keep the place up.
Jack"
So, let's hear some comments on refurbishing. Be a nice change from the recent mud slide of personal attacks...................
