Update from Sept 22 Condo Board Meeting

Your new condo board, elected at the 2008 AGM, met for our first meeting and we are all ready to get back into the swing of things since fall has arrived. Alot of work has been done this summer and the complex is looking great! The painting and Phase One decks are just about complete. We have a few notices for you, please see below.

1. Ultimate Property Management Inc. - In an effort to increase the turnaround time on our requests we have been assigned a new property manager Carole O'Neil, please help me welcome her. Please keep in mind even though this is our third property manager, Judy Walker is the main manager of our property and continues to oversee our account on a daily basis and manages our contracts. We have renewed our contract with Ultimate Property for we feel that have helped us get back into positive situation enabling us to manage Mountviewparc properly going forward. The board has built in a condition of a 2 business day response to concerns they receive in writing from Mountviewparc owners.

2. How to submit a request/concern - For the fastest resolution please include the following when contacting Ultimate. Your Phase #, Address, Home/Cell phone#, full name, detailed description of request/concern. Include any other information you feel necessary for Ultimate to proceed with your request immediately.

3. Phase One Deck Installment - The decks are near completion and the privacy walls will be re-installed by the end of next week. The order has been placed for the gates and installment will commence when the shipment arrives.
IMPORTANT: some of you responded that you would like to purchase a gate but did NOT send the cheque, please contact Ultimate ASAP for payment had to be received by Sept 15 to have a gate ordered, as instructed on the letter.

4. Phase One Deck Lattice - The board has made a decision, lattice and storage will not be permitted under the new decks. This is in an effort to maintain a consistent look and feel throughout the complex and prevent rodents from nesting under the decks. Spring 2009 we will ensure the landscaping company grooms the area under the deck and sprays for weeds.

5. Garbage - We have received some concerns from owners about garbage disposal. It is a city bylaw that owners must store garbage in plastic bags and in a container till garbage pick up. Owners can put their garbage out for pick up the night before or morning of the scheduled pick up..no earlier and no later. Here is the link out ling the city bylaws, specifically section 24 and 25 http://www.calgary.ca/DocGallery/BU/cityclerks/20m2001.pdf

6. Please let Ultimate know if you have had any trouble with a black cat getting into your garbage bins. We have had a few instances to date and if it continues the cat will be deemed a stray and will have to be dealt with.

7. Budget - Over the next two months all the outstanding invoices from the work done this summer will be settled (upon completion of the work). The November condo meeting agenda will be reserved to set out the 2009 budget for 2009.

If you would like any further information please contact Ultimate Property.

Regrading on Merrill Drive


Some of you might be wondering about the bobcat doing work on Merrill Drive. Work is being done to regrade the landscape to decrease the chances of flooding.

UPDATE Phase One - Deck Gate Option

Some basic information about the gate option is as follow. The gate would be installed at the top of the stairs and would be a continuation of the railing, same material. Purchasing the gate would be a way for owners to secure their deck and have additional privacy. If you need any further information please contact Tanya Dion at Ultimate Property.

Thank you,
