The meeting of the 1105 Mass Ave Board of Trustees was held on Thursday, February 26, 2026 via Zoom.

 

Present for the Board of Trustees were Rick Landau, Brad Settle, Alexandra Solimano, Peter Sullivan and Bev Thornton.

Also in attendance were Elder Nunez and Myra Miller

 

PREVIOUS MONTHS MINUTES: The minutes of the January 22, 2026 meeting were approved as presented.  All agreed

 

FINANCIAL STATEMENT AND ACCOUNT STATUS: Myra answered several questions that Bev had before the meeting.  Myra will change the budget and separate the Starry income from the unit rental income.

 

BEUDO: We submitted a registration deadline request.  They were going to edit and modify rules but they have not submitted any changes to the rules.  They did put information on the appeals process and explicitly listed a reason that we can use.

 

VDA CONTRACT: The attorney has not sent the contract for signatures yet.  Brad was going to write up a listing to find candidates for the project management.

 

TOILET VALVES: There is a total cost of $296.22 per unit to replace the toilet valve.  We need to draft something informing the owners that we are doing this work this one time only.  This should be classified as a capital expense.

 

NEXT PLUMBING STACK: Motion to proceed to replace the F kitchen stack , all agreed:

 

5F WASHING MACHINE: This owner requested permission to hook up her existing washing machine into the laundry line.  This is a special request for a grandfathered unit, with the condition that they put a pan under the machine, put alarms with automatic shut off and they use Ray and pay for the cost to connect to the building laundry room drain.

 

DOORS: The installation for the new outer doors is scheduled for March 11th

 

LAUNDRY CARDS: The current value added machine is down and not working.  It was suggested to have the association purchase several cards that have money on them.  $20 card values, 10 cards.  Let people know that while the machine is out of order we have some cards if needed.

 

VACANCY ON BOARD: Robert Whittaker was interested.  Peter asked if we could increase the board size and keep Robert and Marge on the Board.  Brad will reach out to John and see if he wants to remain on the Board.  Brad will also speak with Marge.  Maybe this new person will take over the newsletter.

 

OTHER MAINTENANCE: Doors will be installed  in March, several sprinkler pipes started leaking and were repaired, the leaks from the concrete in the garage were viewed and we are waiting for a repair proposal, we have been dealing with major snow storms which has taken a lot of time and effort.

Bev requested that attention goes to the replacement of the mezzanine tiles and the cracks in that

 

NEXT MEETING DATE: March 19th at 4 PM

 

 

The meeting was adjourned.

Respectfully submitted,

ELN Management
