18:02:36 From F.I. Goldhaber (they/them) to Everyone: Can we please have closed captioning? 18:09:20 From Judy Lame to Everyone: I agree with her 18:09:31 From lowes to Everyone: Is any tree trimming for those along Scholls Ferry shared between us and the city also? 18:10:31 From Masa Yokoi to Everyone: Not to my knowledge. 18:10:40 From Masa Yokoi to Everyone: We may need to go directly to the city 18:12:27 From lowes to Everyone: copy that thx 18:14:01 From AMS, NW to Everyone: The trees along Scholls Ferry is HOA. There is a long term tree plan that the community as a whole has been working with. The prior board had more activity in overseeing this that Aeron was not participating in. The new Board Members will need to evaluate whether there is a committee or additional research to be done. The $30k is the routine maintenance - the contract is on the board room for the Board to review the weekly/monthly services. The additional work is for plant replacement, aeration, aphid control, any type of landscape extra that your community would need. The tree plan should be re-evaluate and identify additional work necessary in the future and implement into the next reserve study. 18:19:23 From Tawi Hidaka Salim to Everyone: We always have spiders at our front door 18:19:49 From F.I. Goldhaber (they/them) to Everyone: We have a new neighbor who's getting a handle on the rodent problem, as well. 18:19:57 From Emma Ferington to Everyone: I feel like exterior pest control, in regards to spiders and ants, have been poor! Would love additional services 18:20:16 From F.I. Goldhaber (they/them) to Everyone: Spiders will help get rid of other bugs. 18:22:50 From Sharon Carter to Everyone: Yes, please address pressure washing company. They are AWFUL! 18:23:50 From pamelacook to Everyone: Yes, please address pressure washing as well as window washing…think once a year is too much - maybe every other year! 18:27:00 From F.I. Goldhaber (they/them) to Everyone: They did a terrible job this year. 18:27:26 From Sharon Carter to Everyone: Window washing company uses no cleaning solution & windows were filthy. Had to have them re-do three times & they're still filthy. 18:30:16 From Masa Yokoi to Everyone: Pamela, that was my though too. Do we need to wash windows every year? 18:31:27 From Tawi Hidaka Salim to Everyone: I wondered that too 18:35:35 From F.I. Goldhaber (they/them) to Everyone: I'd like to see the landscape budget severely cut. We don't need weekly mowing in the summer. We should change how we water, we're wasting a lot. And we could replace grass with low-maintenance, low-water use ground cover for a huge savings. 18:36:17 From Antonio Recillas to Everyone: If the vendor gets bit out and this gets selected by (criteria = cost) do we have the results of quotes from other vendors ? Are the contracts auto renewable ? 18:36:22 From Masa Yokoi to Everyone: F.I., I agree with you 18:36:31 From Tawi Hidaka Salim to Everyone: Same 18:36:37 From Masa Yokoi to Everyone: I believe we are currently under contract though 18:37:59 From F.I. Goldhaber (they/them) to Everyone: We need to look at landscaping as needing DIFFERENT rather than "less". A more eco-friendly approach would be a different aesthetic but a huge cost savings 18:39:24 From Tawi Hidaka Salim to Everyone: If we're under contract with the landscaper and we have to spend money with them, can we funnel some of that money towards clover or some ground cover that doesn't need so much maintenance? The at least we're set up to get some savings down the road 18:39:43 From Antonio Recillas to Everyone: If we need to approve the budget today we should have more info from the figures here should we not? What contracts we can not include for 2923 budget What contracts - multi year contracts - are we in the bag for few years and until when ? I heard often “I need to look into further” and to approve a budget we should have the whole story should we not ? 18:39:56 From Antonio Recillas to Everyone: 2023 budget sorry* 18:40:23 From F.I. Goldhaber (they/them) to Everyone: I agree with Tawi 18:43:12 From Antonio Recillas to Everyone: Can someone tell us when the landscaping contract is valid until ? 18:47:54 From Antonio Recillas to Everyone: If in the previous years it was not budgeted why would we have to budget for - we have no real guideline as to what % should be allocated to this … 18:51:18 From Antonio Recillas to Everyone: Utilities: Are there any rebates we can take advantage of from the utilities companies? Energy Initiatives we can engaged in order to get rebates …? 18:51:51 From Heather Speight to Everyone: If there was a leak, was the City of Beaverton contacted for a one-time credit? This is a standard practice and we should be able to apply for this. 18:52:33 From Antonio Recillas to Everyone: I agree with Heather S. 18:52:52 From Heather Speight to Everyone: Water rates will be dramatically increasing in the next several years, probably double digits, and this should be accounted for. 18:53:30 From F.I. Goldhaber (they/them) to Everyone: Another reason to change our landscaping to stuff that doesn't need as much water. 18:53:31 From Amy Carlson to Everyone: Irrigation was changed when we removed the turf behind your building 18:54:34 From Aleksandr Yatskov to Everyone: i have the same question regarding the irrigation behind our building 13980 18:55:10 From Heather Speight to Everyone: 14% will be the TVWD increase this year 18:55:32 From F.I. Goldhaber (they/them) to Everyone: Aren't we in the City of Beaverton water district? 18:55:38 From Heather Speight to Everyone: While we are City of Beaverton, this is to supplement the Willamette Water Supply project, which City of Beaverton is partnering with 18:59:03 From F.I. Goldhaber (they/them) to Everyone: Shouldn't legal for repairs come from reserves as well? 19:12:31 From Antonio Recillas to Everyone: Question- is there a due date when the 2023 budget needs to be submitted and approved ? 19:12:33 From Heather Speight to Everyone: The yellow note indicates the reserves would only be funded at 1%. Can someone explain this? 19:13:32 From AMS, NW to Everyone: Heather, if the funds were removed for the project as was proposed it would reduce the current funding to 1%. 19:14:21 From Heather Speight to Everyone: I thought there was $1.4 million in reserves and roughly $400K would have been applied to the project--is there a new proposal? 19:16:08 From Mike Therson to Everyone: Given the study that is in motion, nobody knows what the reserve actuals are or should be. 19:18:23 From Tawi Hidaka Salim to Everyone: Are those communities without amenities like ours? 19:18:39 From Tawi Hidaka Salim to Everyone: Thanks 19:22:49 From Amy Carlson to Everyone: The building that had fire repairs did not come out of our reserves. 19:24:02 From Judy Lame to Everyone: Does the dryer cleaning need to be done every year? 19:25:11 From F.I. Goldhaber (they/them) to Everyone: That's a safety issue. Clogged dryer vents can cause fires. 19:26:21 From Amy Carlson to Everyone: We had a dryer fire a couple of years ago, the lint in the vent caught fire and the fire department had to extinguish the fire. 19:26:49 From Judy Lame to Everyone: Thanks Amy 19:31:42 From Amy Carlson to Everyone: Not raising dues in a time when contracts are increasing substantially is insane. 19:36:33 From Antonio Recillas to Everyone: Is it the best time to borrow money ? Would be wise to wait until interest rates go down so borrowing money will be easier ? Recession talks are all over and most agree there will be some kind of recession / soft or hard - but some kind of recession could take place so I want to be cautious
