Last evening, the Ritz-Carlton South Tower Board of Managers met for an open meeting with resident owners.

The first order of business was to announce the resignation of the Board President, Kathleen Carrigan and the subsequent election by the remaining board members of Mark Winkeller as the interim President. Annual elections for the entire 5 seats on the Board will take place in mid-May.

Things you need to know:

1.The first phase of the Decor project which involved the repair of minor ceiling and wall cracks has been done. The next phase of changing wall coverings and hall way carpeting will be on hold until about May, after the winter months. The project is now expected to wrap up by September.

2. In mid February, all valet key tags will be changed for your vehicle.  Out will be the small plastic tag with the bar code and in its place will be a larger proximity card attached to your key ring.

New tag top, old tag bottom

This will make the check in/out system in the garage smoother and hopefully decrease the time for delivery of your car to the curb. Notices and instructions will be sent out soon. Your valet number that you presently have , IE.  123, will stay the same.

3.While we all love our cleaning gals, come March they won’t be coming thru the lobby with their cleaning equipment and supplies.

As with all other service folks, they will now be using the loading dock, service elevator and self-parking in the garage at a super reduced rate. No more drop off at the front door, double parking or using the valet service. Instructional notices will be coming soon. This is a joint effort with the North Tower to help alleviate the traffic on the street.

4. Watch out on the street, if you make an illegal turn from Washington onto Avery, the BPD will be watching.

Full minutes of the meeting will be posted on Building Link in the near future.
