Fire Damage and Repair Status at 7617 Zircon

 

Mike Englund from Rice Insurance covered the situation between Liberty Mutual, our insurance carrier, and Heritage Restoration, the contractor repairing the damage at the homes affected by the fire at 7617. The Board discussed with Englund the difference between the early cost estimates provided by Heritage and by GRECCO Construction and a revised estimate by Heritage that is $140,000 higher. The board is reviewing alternatives to get the work completed as soon as possible, allowing members to return to their homes. Heritage Restoration has indicated the project is between 75% and 80% complete.

 

Treasurers Report

 

McDonald reviewed the current financial status. General repairs at $7,182 was slightly higher.  Major costs were mainly due to the deck repairs at 7707 Zircon Dr. and the new gutter installation on the other flat roof buildings. The latter costs were withdrawn from our Capital Projects account which is still healthy with a balance of $57,684.67. We still have four delinquent receivables for a total of $8,590. There is activity in three of these accounts that should be resolved in the near future. Boulware moved and Glamba seconded to accept the Treasurers Report. Motion carried.
