Update from January 19 Board Meeting
The board met last night and discussed the following topics. Please read the information below carefully as it applies to all owners at Mountview Parc.
#1. Composting Bins - The board received several inquires about composting bins. Some owners believe we should allow composting bins and some feel they are to large and clutter the property. The board had a lengthy discussion about composting bins, we all agree that composting is a valuable environmentally friendly way to dispose of garbage and do not want to discourage "green" behavior but since we are a condominium community and share common property composting bins are not appropriate. Therefore the board voted and decided not to allow composting bins to be placed on common property as of January 20. All composting bins will be removed from common property by June 1, 2009 (if you wish to give your bin to a friend or family member please do so by June).
What if I own a composting bin?
If you received board approval to place a composting bin on common property and can provide Ultimate with written confirmation of that approval you will be reimbursed for the cost of the bin ($25.00).

#2. Phase One Special Assessment - Watch your mail boxes for a letter providing additional information about the Phase One Special Assessment due August 1, 2009. We have collected feedback for owners requesting more information about the assessment, if you still have outstanding questions or comments once you review the letter please contact Ultimate. To highlight one point, you may send post dated cheques to make monthly payments prior to August 1. Please send post dated cheques to Ultimate Property Management or pay the full amount anytime up until August 1 (automatic debts can not be set up)along a note notifying Ultimate what the cheques are intended for including your full name, address and phone number.
#3. Bylaw Review - The Mountview Parc bylaws are outdated and the board has partnered with Ultimate to update them according to the Condominium Property Act. Over the next few months the board will works as a team to determine how the bylaws will read. Once we have a complete set all owners will receive a copy and will have a chance to vote. The board requires a 75% approval vote from the owners for the new bylaws to pass and be registered. Stay tuned!
#4. Neighbor Disputes - We have all chosen to live in a townhouse community and with that decision comes wall sharing. Unfortunately neighbors can have opposing daily schedules and therefore noise can become an issue. The Condo Board and Ultimate Property are not professional arbitrators or mediators and must not become involved in minor neighbor disputes between owners.
Who do I contact if I have an issue with my neighbor?
If you have an issue with your neighbor and feel they are breaking a city bylaw please contact the City of Calgary Bylaw Services. If no infraction of a city bylaw is being committed please contact The Community Mediation Calgary Society(CMCS). The CMCS employs trained professionals equipped with the education and tools to help neighbors come to an agreement.
#5. Garbage Reminder - Once again we have a garbage offenders putting garbage out prematurely to pick up and owners are finding garbage blowing around there units. Please remember according to city bylaw you must keep your garbage in a sealed container close to your unit until the night prior or morning of garbage pick up day, for us that is Thursday. Thank you for your cooperation!
If you have any questions or comments about this information please contact Ultimate Property.

Please Don't Feed the Rabbits
As you probably know we have a few rabbits that live in our area. For the most part they are harmless but we would ask that you please do NOT feed them. This will encourage them to remain in our area and could potentially increase the chances of them becoming a nuisance.
Thank you,

Stray Cats
We are experiencing an issue with stray cats in our neighborhood. If you own a cat please do not let it outside to wander on it's own. If you are an owner experiencing issues with cats spraying around your property please call the City of Calgary Animal & Bylaw Services so the cat can be impounded.
