Board Meeting Minutes with Inaccuracies, as Usual

The assessment bill arrived on Saturday, late as usual.
The amusingly-inaccurate Board Meeting minutes from the delayed meeting on July 5th were included.

One glaring inaccuracy, continuing from the previous Minutes, was...
The plumbing and masonry work if the '60 GE unit has been completed to resolve plumbing leaks and rodent infestation.
The earlier Minutes read...
Rodent infestation; '60 G renovation work to begin, need to coordinate with vendor AND to inspect for rodent infestation and eradication.
There is/was no rodent infestation in '60 GE.
The infestation was in '60 2E, two floors above us, on the same "line".
Rodents were coming in thru a hole in the building's foundation adjacent to kitchen and bathroom drainpipes and traveling thru the walls via those pipes up to 2E, and entering that unit, where the owners' large dog and the exterminators handled the rodents.
Since we're a garden (basement) unit, the access point for the rodents was on a level with our flooring, inside the walls.
Those drainpipes, and the space behind the walls (where the rodents were) are Common Elements, and not part of the unit, as anybody who lives in a condo will tell you.
At no time in the past or present were there rodents actually in GE, only in 2E.
We residents of '60 GE did not encounter any rodents in our unit!
We heard them in the walls and ceiling, but did not see any holes in our walls or any signs of rodents in our unit.

You'd hope the writer of the Minutes could write with a bit more clarity and accuracy.

We also note the statement...
Delinquencies discussed.
That's "delinquencies"...plural.
Perhaps that explains the interesting Special Assessment notice in the envelope, which we'll be going into in our next posting...

One other note: only two of the three Board members were in attendance.
Is there a split going on?
