Condo Fee Mix Up! Are you paying the right amount?
When I asked for notes from the Board Meeting yesterday someone posted saying that the Condo Fees that some residents have been paying were incorrect. Then I got this post this afternoon from concerned22204:
"I did get a blast eamil concerning something like this. Here is the cut and paste.
Bob, during the transition to our new financiual management co. Legum & Norman, L&N's accounting department discovered 27 discreptancies in the interest percentages assigned to each unit.
questions we need to ask him, including but not limited to:
1) We are using "Exhibit A" in looking at ownership/condo fee percentages. Our bylaws cite "Exhibit C". Is it ok to use A?
2) Where is "Exhibit C?"
3) For those owners we have been charging the wrong rate for so long, what obligations do we owe them?
It would be good for either Jenny or I to be on the phone when you talk to him. I will be traveling, but will be available from 11:20 to 12:10. Check with Jenny to see when she is free. I don't have to be on the call, so if times line up when she and Bob are available do it then make the call. It would be good to talk to Bob today so that we can have some certainty on this issue since coupon books have arrived."
Did everyone get this blast email? Or has anyone heard whether or not they are paying the right/wrong amount? Is the Village going to put something in the Crier? How many years have people been paying incorrectly?

Board Meeting Last Night?
Anyone have any news about the meeting last night? They are probably lucky that they didn't have the meeting tonight. I think people would be upset on how slow the ice removal has been today. Usually everything is cleaned off but this AM was not pretty.

Are you having a snow day today?
Are you stuck at home today? I have to admit that when I set off to work this morning it was not a nice feeling to skid right past the stop sign.
Does this ill fated weather mean no Board Meeting tonight? I think the meeting is this evening but alas the Crier was not posted for December so I have no idea what's on the schedule for January or February for that matter.
DAY 27 AND NO CRIER....I'd be happy with just an update page in my mailbox.

The Crier Debacle???
OK...so I know we had a few holidays and a big Inauguration...but did I miss the Crier? If not, why even put one out this month? Just save that old information for the late February Crier.
It just shows how wasteful publishing this thing really is.

Inaugural...taking it or leaving it???
OK...so are you "staying in" the day of the Inaugural? Or...are you getting out of town so you don't have to deal with an extra couple of million people.
I'm still mad they've shut off Virginia from DC...they've never shut down the bridges before so why start now. Seems much ado about nothing. Why couldn't you go down 50 or 66 to DC over Roosevelt Bridge and up 23rd Street or the E Street Exit???
Alas, can't wait to hear your plans. Let me know how long you think it is going to take to walk from Arlington Village to the Mall.

Robbery on the Pike?
Has anyone heard about this? It was an armed robbery at the Bangkok 54 store a few days ago.
On a smaller scale...there was also a another type of robbery on Christmas Eve in the Village. A small Christmas tree was chopped down. I guess AV has a few of those trees sprinkled throughout the Village.
