Annual Meeting
Thursday July 23, 2015 @ Cagan Management Offices, Skokie


  1. Meeting started at 7:00 p.m. – approval of last meeting minutes and review of treasurer’s report which shows low operating balance of $463.59 and reserves of $6,928.55. All other action items on manager’s report were tabled pending approval of the 2015-2016 budget.
  2. Radu shared 3 quotes to repair the roof and then stated that all contractors will not offer a warranty with their repairs at this time because they believe it is critical to do a full roof replacement.
  3. Radu then shared quotes to replace the roof that ranged from $50K - $90K.
    Singles Roof Company - $54K plus replacement of subfloor
    Halo - $54K plus additional for subfloor replacement
    Knickerbocker - $96K - $128K
  4. The Board approved the budget option C which includes increase in monthly assessments for all units.
  5. Radu stated that most banks require a loan over $100K and he is working with First Midwest Bank to secure a loan for up to $120K that would include budget to pay for all major repairs, including the new roof. First Midwest would not require the reserve study but would require a bank evaluation of $1,000. The board will need to meet again soon after Radu has more information regarding the new loan and determine how the association will manage to the new loan payment – whether it is another increase in assessments or a special assessment.
  6. Meeting adjourned and then elections were held. Chip Aucoin and Bill Kugelman were elected to the board for a 2-year term.
  7. The 2015-2016 Board is as follows:
    Chip Aucoin – President
