5. Real Estate Engineering, LLC / G. Batista Engineering & Construction –
Outstanding Invoices and Claim of Lien
The Board discussed the outstanding invoices, Claim of Lien, and related matters involving Real
Estate Engineering, LLC / G. Batista Engineering & Construction, consistent with the
posted agenda.
The Board reviewed the history of the concrete restoration work and discussed the transition
from the earlier restoration work toward the larger scope associated with the Association's
50-year recertification.
It was discussed that the quantities originally contemplated for the concrete restoration work
were estimates and that additional deterioration and repair quantities were identified as the work
progressed. The Board discussed that available project funds had been depleted and that
outstanding amounts remain due to the contractor.
The Board also discussed the Claim of Lien filed in connection with the unpaid amounts and the
need to determine how the Association will fund the outstanding obligations and continuation of
the project.
6. Construction and Engineering Agreements / Attorney Comments
The Board discussed the proposed construction and engineering agreements and the
comments previously provided by Association counsel.
Particular discussion occurred regarding the relationship between the engineering and
construction functions and counsel's concerns regarding the same entity's involvement in both
capacities.
A Board member expressed a preference for greater independence between the engineering
and construction functions. The Board discussed the possibility of separating the engineering
and construction responsibilities and the potential consequences of changing engineers at this
stage of the project, including additional time, inspections, proposals, and potential delays.
The Board also discussed that the current engineer has been approved to serve in the
applicable special-inspector capacity and that changing engineering professionals could require
additional review of work already performed.No final approval of the proposed agreements was made at this meeting.
7. Financing / Special Assessment / Next Steps
The Board discussed potential financing necessary to satisfy outstanding project obligations and
continue the concrete restoration/recertification work.
It was explained during the meeting that a signed contract would be necessary before the
Association could proceed with obtaining financing.
The Board therefore discussed the following general sequence:
Approval/execution of the appropriate project agreement(s) → pursuit of financing →
consideration of the necessary special assessment and payment structure.
The Board also discussed providing unit owners with payment options in connection with a
future special assessment, potentially including an option to pay the assessment in full or
make payments over time, subject to the terms of any financing and subsequent Board
approval.
The Board determined that another properly noticed Board meeting would be scheduled to
consider and vote upon approval of the applicable contract(s) and related next steps.
No special assessment was levied at this meeting, and no financing was approved at this
meeting.
8. Board Action
Following discussion, the Board did not execute or finally approve the Real Estate
Engineering / G. Batista agreement(s) during this meeting.
The consensus was to continue reviewing the contractual structure and schedule another Board
meeting for consideration and formal action regarding the agreement(s), financing, and related
project matters.
9. Member Comments

Certain matters raised that were outside the scope of the posted agenda were deferred for
separate consideration.
