Board Report
On behalf of the Board, Michael Parrie expressed condolences to William Kay and David Nicosia on the passing of their bedbug dog, Scout. Scout was very helpful in dealing with the presence of bedbugs by identifying bedbugs so that proper treatment could be made.
He reported that on Saturday at its formal meeting, the Board voted to give its 30-day termination notice to Admiral Security, and entered into a 1-year contract with a new security firm, Harvard Protection Services. Management interviewed several firms and did reference checks, with Harvard being both reasonably priced and having very positive references from its contracts with other buildings. Management and the Board look forward to working together with Harvard to continue to make Park Tower a safe space.
He thanked Management and the Maintenance Team Leadership for their work in putting together a proposed budget for 2026-2027. The Board, Management, and Budget & Finance Commission met once already, and have two more meetings on Saturday, November 15 and Saturday, November 22, from 9 am to 12 pm in the 2nd floor party room, where they are going over every line item to ensure we are responsible with association money. All owners are welcome to observe the process.
He said the Board is interested in forming an ad hoc commission to review the former market space, suite 114, and is putting out a call for volunteers. Owners who have ideas on what to do with this space are asked to inform Management of their interest to serve on this commission to determine its future use. Interested owners can e-mail management at parktowercondo-mgmt@habitat.com.
He gave a friendly reminder that we have a garage power wash during the week of December 8th. The Board passed a new policy at its November 14, 2022 meeting: a fee of $150 will be applied for failing to remove their car by 9 am on their designated days, and this fee will double for each subsequent event, up to a maximum fee of $1,000 per event. Fees cannot be waived and self-parkers will lose their permanent spot after three events on top of fees. If you are interested in having your car moved by staff for a $100 fee, then please give management at least a 7-day notice. This is limited on a first-come, first-served basis. He said, “To sum it up, please move your car or have someone move it for you!”
He said with the holidays upon us, please be sure to check the package room regularly to remove your items quickly.
Also, at this time of Thanksgiving, the Board would like to thank all of our volunteers who sort packages in the package room. The following residents volunteer regularly, and their help is most appreciated: Betty Terry-Lundy, Bob Shamo, Cairn Hutter, Catherine Kestler, Cheryl Bombay, Debbie Bell, Jim Jardine, John Loftus, Kevin DePhillips, Kim Lange, Lauren Grobes, Maggy Burns, Monique Fouant, Monty Rowell, Neil Averick, Rita Allison, Sheri Hodges, and Vince DiFruscio.
In addition, the Board thanks all owners and residents who contribute to Park Tower on its commissions, such as health club, home improvement, new residents, budget & finance, social, and rules & regulations.
Finally, he said the Board would like to extend its thanks to all the Park Tower employees who take care of us and keep things running behind the scenes. Please consider these dedicated individuals during the holiday season via the Park Tower Employee Holiday Fund. To make a contribution, Owners can e-mail management at parktowercondo-mgmt@habitat.com.
