Minutes of Monthly Board Meeting
May 10, 2012
Luis Fernandez, President, called meeting to order at 7:15PM.
Directors present: Jose Luis Specht, Gustavo Tapanes, Alex Romeu, Manuel Granda, Benito Filomia, Luis
Fernandez and Manager, Martha Iglesias. Absent were Jorge Clavijo and Antonio Purriños.
Mr. Fernandez asked for a motion to approve the minutes of the meeting held March 13, 2012. Director Filomia
made the motion to approve and seconded by Manuel Granda. The minutes were approved unanimously by all
present. Jorge Clavijo and Antonio Purriños arrived at 7:20PM.
Treasurer Benito Filomia gave a quick update of the monies collected from the Special Assessment. He
explained $780 per month was not expected to be collected on the foreclosure units. Approximately 35 owners
had paid the assessment in full. We would complete projects as money is collected making the generator, storm
drains, the asbestos removal and new roof the priorities.
Ms. Iglesias explained the relining of the 5 storm drains were completed; the asbestos had been removed from
the lobby and mezzanine floors and the a/c ducts were all insulated. We had found additional hot air
penetrations allowing much of our a/c to escape so those areas had been sealed as were the joint of each duct
sections. New white supply and return grilles would be installed.
We are working on the acoustical ceilings and installation of new LED recessed lights for the lobby and
mezzanine floors. This would save electricity but required a permit which Mr. Alvarez is working on
photometric plans to present to the City of Miami Beach.
The Board approved to remove the Medeco keys permanently by July 2nd. Hilda has begun to issue new fobs to
owners and tenants with leases not expired. She has also received new renewed leases on many we never
received.
Mr. Tapanes spoke of the replenishing of the beach erosion with sand from other surrounding areas. They asked
Ms. Iglesias was asked to see if Medallion Furniture would open the show room on a Saturday so the Board
could schedule to see the styles and models in order to decide whether or not best to lease the furniture instead
of purchasing them.
The floor was opened, the following homeowner asked questions: Homeowner of 801 regarding the total
number of keys fobs distributed to each unit; homeowner from 1123 inquiring to change the color of the
chandelier from the chosen black gloss; and homeowner of 437 suggesting to decide the pros and cons of
leasing furniture versus purchasing them.
Meeting was adjourned by Mr. Fernandez, Board President at 8:30PM.
Jorge Clavijo, Board Secretary
