Suggestion Box
- 7/6 — Where is the library? Books are in the cabinet located in the same location that the bookcase was. However, furniture containing the books is difficult for the disabled and elderly to access. Janet will provide a stool to resolve that problem.
- 7/28 — How about an air freshener in the lobby? Not feasible, on account that people may be sensitive to odors, smells, scents, due to allergies.

Residents
- Furniture containing the books is very difficult for the disabled and elderly to access. Janet will provide a stool to resolve that problem.
- Board of Trustees: concern that the board should consist of 7 members, 2 members are non-voting members [the Secretary and the Treasurer], leaving the 5 members voting rights. At present, there are 5 board members all having voting rights.
- Janet will ask Mr. Wilson to review the master deed and by-laws and will place that documentation under our doors to clarify that concern
- Parking issues: owners/residents with assigned parking spaces are not parking in their assigned spots, but instead are parking in the visitors spots. PLEASE park in your assigned parking space and leave the visitors’ spaces for visitors and residents with more than one vehicle.
