(Keith Birdwell showed this report on the projector.) Karen also shared how Robin and Steve Barker had overseen the flooring renovation project in 2011 and we now have new vinyl plank floors and carpeting in all timeshare units. Karen shared that Robin is maintenance director for Cabana and thanked Robin and Steve for their outstanding job in this role. Karen shared about the water leak over the July 4th weekend and how the parking lot had to be dug up in one section, and re-asphalted to fix the leak. This was an unexpected expense. Karen shared that managers unit was also being worked on to bring it back into living condition. Gary was continuing work on fixing windows valances, 3 TVs were also purchased this year and Cabana will be eventually going to all flat TV screens. BBQs are being reviewed and may be replaced. Karen updated everyone on the hot tub and filter problem we had during 2011. Cabana had to rewire hot tub unit and hot tub is currently usable. It was down occasionally in 2011, but progress is being made in an effort to bring it up to code. The bench in the hot tub room has been removed in order to provide room if CPR needs to be administered, per Whatcom County code.

She explained that several budgeted expenses are being rolled into the fee we will pay Rosemary Black. Nancy explained how she has been involved with at least 8 managers over the past 10 years.
