Monthly Assessment Increase

The main reason for rising assessment fees was the increased cost and use of water. Currently 40% of the opperating budget goes to water usage.  Last year the yearly cost of water was approximately $10,000 greater than what we had budgeted.  One way to conserve water is by fixing leaky faucets and toilets.  Another idea is to reduce water use in the shower by decreasing the gallon per minute rate of your shower head or reduce the time spent in the shower. Please look for ways to conserve water and let us know what you find.

Envelop Update

In 2010 Canyon Court Condominiums contracted Peter Brennan of Avenue Development to oversee repairs recommended based on the envelop inspection of BEDIC in 2008/2009.  Aspen Siding and Windows has been working to recaulk and repair minor issues related to windows and siding at Canyon Court over the last month.  However, Aspen has declined to bid on the roof repair and we are in the process of understanding why.  Hopefully additional conversations with Mr Brennan, Aspen, Steed, and Northwest Community Management will bring all the information to the table and we can move forward with no hidden agenda's or conflict of interests, so that Canyon Court Condominiums can continue to have a healthy and well maintained exterior envelop for years to come.
