Open Forum 2/8/11

President Adam Silvera opened the meeting while throngs of supporters cheered and applauded. My mistake, that was the Super Bowl. In spite of the numerous recent problems that have popped up the shareholders were well behaved, thoughtful, and offered constructive opinions. No emergency personnel were required at any time during the meeting. The major concerns were the boilers, snow removal, and the elevator damage in building 2 caused by flooding. We are in the process of fixing the boilers and elevators, and ask for your continued patience. Not to give you a snow job, but we have experienced some severe storms lately. Many employees worked very hard to clear the grounds, and unfortunately the new tractor broke down. He is currently in therapy. Some good suggestions were made about expanded snow clearing for building access. One tenant complained about gangs of rats wilding on the premises. A google search estimates there are about 60 million in N.Y, not including ex-spouses and bailout recipients. The verminator has been on site regularly, but the rats just say keep saying "I'll be bahk". They seem to multiply faster than Charlie Sheen's court appearances. Some other topics concerned the use of revenue generated by new applicants to the waiting list (not resolved), and auditing 3 bedroom shareholders (an attempt to open up more apartments). Remember the management requires notification if you plan on doing apartment renovations, and you must leave a deposit of  $1000.00. If you don't and you cause damage they plan on suing your pants off! Not wise with freezing weather and millions of gigantic, carnivorous, rat packs running around. I don't know why, but my parents loved the rat pack.
