TO ALL LE BARON UNIT OWNERS:

Subject:         AC Drain Pan Sensors, Water Shut-off valves and High Impact Windows

The Board of Directors took the following actions at the May 24, 2007, board meeting which is being brought to you attention for action:

1.  A motion was made by Fred DeJacma, seconded by Winifred Chambers with all Board members voting in the affirmative to require all unit owners to have a sensor installed in their ceiling mounted AC unit drain line to prevent overflow water and mold damage to other units. 

RMC, our management company, will complete a survey of each unit with an installer and a staff member to determine if the drain line is accessible.  If it is deemed not accessible the owner will be notified by RMC to have it made accessible.  A quantity price will then be negotiated by RMC once the conditions for installation are determined.

2.  Sam Bowling stated that the condo was also having a problem with unit main water shut-off valves. Fred DeJacma made a motion that it be mandatory for all unit owners to have their main water valves replaced with a stainless steel ball valve, seconded by Winifred Chambers.  All in favor.  Motion carried.

3.  A Board discussion of high impact window replacement project was held and Bromley • Cook report of April 18, 2007, was discussed wherein Bromley endorsed the 2004 Florida Building Code.  A discussion ensued about the windows and the previously passed motions regarding 2001/2004 codes.   Winifred Chambers stated that if a unit owner’s windows meet the 2001 code, they are fine; if not then they would need to replace their windows with ones that meet the current Miami-Dade code.  George Pearson made a motion to require all unit owners to have their windows meet the current Miami-Dade code by October 1, 2007, seconded by Winifred Chambers.  All in favor.  Motion carried. 

Sam Bowling stated that unit owners need to caution their window installers about the damages that are being done the recently waterproofed and painted building surfaces.  Owners installing new windows will have to be responsible for the damages done to the building walls.

The Le Baron Board has been advised that the following window companies have completed successful window replacements in our buildings this year:

Very truly yours,

Le Baron Condominium Board of Directors
