3 Owner Question: Is it a typo that we only budgeted $2, for the phone lines? Answer: No, that was the number that was budgeted. The way the budget was created by Rancho and by C-Era resulted in varying numbers, as the line items were divided differently. MANAGEMENT REPORT KELLY VARNS presented the AGM report.

Answer: It s the flooring of the deck. Owner Question #218-60: When doing the Building 60 renovations, are they going to address the plug in situations? The plug in can be moved about an inch to either side. Answer: Yes, all of that will be taken care of in the upcoming project. In the meantime, we can send an electrician to inspect it and ensure it is not a safety concern. Owner Question # : It is very dusty in the garage area, what is being done about this? Answer: The exhaust fans were inspected last week to ensure proper function; we have a parkade sweep scheduled for June 1 st and are looking at having it done twice a year to help alleviate the build up. Owner Question #101-20: Has the Board budgeted for the carbon tax? Answer: Yes, the carbon tax was factored into this year s budget. 3

4 Owner Question #302-20: The $73,000 arrears, what has been done about this? Answer: The Corporation has collected $61,000. The balance is in the process of being collected. Owner Question #107-70: Where is the reserve fund money being held? Answer: Currently the account is held in the National Bank. The Board of Directors will be looking at different options for investments. Owner Question: When marijuana becomes legal are people going to be able to smoke on the deck? Answer: Marijuana will likely be treated much like smoking cigarettes. Owner Question #219-70: Is fire covered under the insurance? Answer: Yes, it would be covered under all other losses. Owner Question: Where will the additional pathways be located? Answer: The Board cannot make any changes to the landscaping until Streetside is officially removed from the Property. The Board has looked at putting a pathway in the circle between Bldg 20 & Bldg 70 and another one between Bldg 20 & Bldg 70 for access to the bus stop. Owner Question: The ground in the courtyard of building 60 is sinking, what is being done about that? Answer: The Board has hired a contractor, Abris, to come out and look at that as well as other issues around building 60 as it is no longer under the Developer warranty. Owner Question #302-20: There was a question in the 2016 AGM Minutes that was not answered which was can you have hanging plants on the balcony? Answer: You cannot have a plant hanging off the balcony as this increases the liability to the Corporation as it may fall on a Resident. There s also the issue of water running onto the balconies below, which is why you may only have potted plants that sit on the balcony floor and keep excess water contained. BLU PLANET COMPOSTING PRESENTATION Nelson from Blu Planet gave a presentation on Composting and gave each attending Owner a personal collection bin for their Unit. The following items were highlighted: The program accepts all plant and animal waste products. There are currently 3x64 Gallon bins in each of the garbage rooms. Owner Question #302-20: The way the bins were set up in the garbage room are now blocking the recycling bins. 4

5 Answer: This will be adjusted to suit the needs of the owners. Owner Question: What about attracting pests like flies and mice? Answer: If the lid is closed, there shouldn t be an issue. Owner Question: Is there an additional cost for this in our condo fees? Answer: It was included in the budget, and hopefully the cost of waste removal will go down with the use of the program and that will bring the overall cost down.
