NEW BUSINESS

 

Ms. Guyer expressed concern regarding the number of units with poor or damaged window treatments within Highlands, and that some areas of the cooperative have begun to look quite “shabby” with broken blinds, sheets, and blankets covering windows.  Highlands does have a Window Treatment Policy, and perhaps it may become necessary for the Board to enforce it more diligently.  Management will do a drive-through and visual inspection of the cooperative, report back to the Board in the near future.
