REPORT ON LITIGATION

The Strata Property Act requires that all owners be notified as soon as possible of any legal action that the Strata Corporation is part of. To the best of our knowledge there is no litigation to report.

BUSINESS ARISING FROM PREVIOUS MINUTES Insurance Renewal

The Treasurer outlined the main features of the proposal from BFL Canada for insurance renewal. The Treasurer stated that the slight increase of the premium is justifiable considering the trend in the whole industry. The Council decided to approve the renewal of Strata’s insurance as per the proposal from BFL.

Quote from Skywalker

The Council reviewed the quote presented by Skywalker for a number of spring projects including window cleaning, pressure washing and other building maintenance services. The Council finds Skywalker to be a reliable contractor who has provided good services in the past. The Council took into the consideration other quotes provided by different contractors and decided to negotiate with Skywalker for each of the individual projects that their quote proposes. Final contracts will depend on the results of those negotiations.

CORRESPONDENCE

None was received.

NEW BUSINESS

The guest, Mr. H. stated that he is moving back to the building after renting his unit for a period of time. He expressed his appreciation to the Council for making him and his family feel welcomed. Mr. H. has noted the sound state in which The Bentley building has been kept. The Owner is of opinion that the Council must constantly remind the residents about the volatility of the sprinkler system and also the danger of excessive number of items kept on the balconies. The Council thanked the Owner for participation in the meeting and for suggestions that he brought. The Council advised Mr. H. that Strata Bylaws and Rules provide specific provisions about the items that he mentioned and that the Strata has a website where a lot of useful information about sprinklers and other safety issues can be found.

It was moved to terminate the meeting. The meeting was terminated at 5:40 p.m. NEXT COUNCIL MEETING

The next meeting will be held on February 17th, 2015 at 5:00 p.m.in the Amenity Room of the Bentley.

It was moved and seconded to approve the Financial Statement for month of February 2015. The Motion was CARRIED, All in Favour. Arrears Report The current arrears were reviewed.

REPORT ON LITIGATION

The insurers of the strata corporation will be issuing a claim against parties (manufacturers and/or installers) who may be responsible for the damages suffered when a hot water circulation pipe failed on April 18, 2013. The action must be taken in the strata corporation's name but no costs will be incurred by the strata corporation. The strata corporation may be able to recover a portion of its deductible if the action is successful.

BUSINESS ARISING FROM PREVIOUS MINUTES

Front Door Opener Council investigated the possibility of installing an electric opener on the front door. It was decided not to proceed further as the estimated cost of more than five thousand dollars was deemed excessive.

CORRESPONDENCE

Exercise Room Complaints Complaints were received regarding the treadmills in the exercise room, one owner maintaining that the treadmills are sub-standard and others complaining that the treadmills were being put out of service through misuse. While the treadmills are of good quality and will perform well under any reasonable exercise regime, they are not designed for extreme exercise programs under which they are run at top speed for very long periods of time. Residents are cautioned against such use which will result in costly damage and inconvenience to others. A complaint was also lodged that residents are not able to control the heat in the exercise room. Almost all gym users prefer a cool environment in which to exercise and it has been found that allowing users to control the heat invariably leads to conflict. Users who have the option of turning the heat up when they enter the gym never turn it down when they leave and the gym is left too hot for subsequent users.

NEW BUSINESS Change of Property Manager

Atira Property Management Inc. has given Council the required 60 day written notice that they are withdrawing from their management contract with the strata corporation effective May 31, 2015. Council will begin immediately to search for a new strata manager and negotiate a contract in time to assure a smooth transition.

TERMINATION

It was moved to terminate the meeting. The meeting was terminated at 5:25 p.m. NEXT MEETING

The next meeting will be the Annual General Meeting to be held on April 21th, 2015 at 6:30 p.m.in the Amenity Room of the Bentley. On or about April 1, 2015 AGM notification packages will be delivered to the door of resident owners and sent by mail to non-resident owners.

Minutes of the Annual General Meeting Amenity Room, 295 Guildford Way, Port Moody, B.C.

Tuesday, April 21, 2015

1. CALL TO ORDER

The meeting was called to order by the Strata Council President at 6:30 pm. The president welcomed everyone to the Annual General Meeting and introduced all the current Strata Council Members.

2. CALLING OF THE ROLL AND CERTIFICATION OF PROXIES

At the call to order there were a total of fifty-six (56) owners represented, thirty-four (34) present in person and twenty (22) represented by proxy. As the quorum required for the meeting was forty-six (46) eligible voters, the meeting proceeded.

3. PROOF OF NOTICE AND RECEIPT OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

On March 31st, 2015 the notice of the annual general meeting was delivered to the door of all resident owners and mailed to all non-resident owners in compliance with the required notice period and containing all the contents prescribed by the Strata Property Act.

4. PROOF OF INSURANCE COVERAGE The attention of the assembly was then directed to the insurance Summary of Coverages sent as part of the notice package. In particular, owners were once again asked to note the insurance deductible for water damage claims is currently $50,000 per incident, due in part to past water loss claims at the Bentley. As owners could be liable in some circumstances for the $50,000 insurance deductible, all are strongly urged to have homeowner insurance in place to cover assessments for deductibles, to cover damage to their chattels and suite improvements (such as laminate flooring), for living expenses in case their unit is uninhabitable due to water damage and to cover loss of rental income in the same circumstances.

5. APPROVAL OF THE MINUTES OF THE PREVIOUS ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

It was moved (Unit #901) and seconded (Unit # 207) to approve the minutes of the last Annual General Meeting held on April 24, 2014. MOTION CARRIED, all in favour.

6. APPROVAL OF THE PROPOSED OPERATING BUDGET

It was moved (Unit #505) and seconded (Unit #1906) to place the proposed operating budget for 2015/16 as distributed in the notice package on the floor for consideration. The budget was discussed in detail, some owners expressing the opinion that, since there was a surplus last year, strata fees should be reduced. The consensus of the owners at the meeting was that having a surplus to add to the contingency fund was a positive outcome and would lessen the likelihood of the need for special assessments in the future. Following the discussion, the question was called and the motion to approve the proposed budget was CARRIED, (53 in favour, 3 opposed, 0 abstentions). The approved 2015/16 budget and strata fee payment schedule are attached to these minutes.

7. NEW BUSINESS

New Property Manager The meeting was informed that our current property management company, Atira Property Management Inc. has terminated their contract with the strata effective May 31, 2015 and Crossroads Management Ltd. has been retained as our new property manager effective June 1, 2015. Don Cook, a Senior Property Manager with Crossroads who did a very good job as our strata manager up to 2012 when he worked for Atira has been assigned as our new property manager. The changeover to Crossroads will require owners to take action with regard to the payment of their strata fees. For owners using pre-authorized debits, Atira will process your payment for the month of May. However, since Crossroads will take over as our strata management company effective June 1, 2015, owners wishing to continue using this method of payment must be sure to provide Crossroads with a new pre-authorized payment form (PAP) as soon as possible but in no case later than May 18, 2015. Crossroads PAP forms and instructions were distributed at the meeting, delivered to the door of resident owners who were not able to attend the meeting, and mailed to non-resident owners. PAP forms are also available in the lobby and on the strata website at www.bentleyportmoody.ca. If you pay your strata fees by cheque, any post-dated cheques that you have given to Atira covering months after May 2015 will be transferred by Atira to the new manager. Any new cheques for June or later should be sent to Crossroads.

Exercise Equipment Some owners expressed dissatisfaction with the equipment in the Bentley Exercise Room. The meeting was informed that most of the original equipment has been replaced at considerable expense over the last four years. Pumphouse Fitness Ltd., the firm that maintains all of our equipment, was consulted to assure that we purchased equipment that was much better than that supplied by the developer and would stand up to the level of use to be expected in a development such as ours. It does not and should not be expected to meet the standards of a professional gym. Nevertheless the importance of having good exercise facilities to maintain both health and property values is well recognized and therefore owners seeking change in this area are encouraged to appear before council to express what they feel are the specific needs. In this way they can influence the spending of our Recreational Facilities budget this year and also make their case for an increase to the budget in subsequent years. Security It was pointed out by an owner that the coming of Skytrain next year should make us think even more about security and access to our building by unauthorized persons. Ideas to achieve this were proposed such as a system to control cars entering the parking lot after the car in front has opened the door, more and better cameras, and an acceleration of the already ongoing program to improve door locks and hardware. All possibilities to improve security should be a top priority of the new strata council. Parking Garage Safety Despite numerous admonitions to get residents to slow down in the parking garage, excessive speed continues to be a problem. Concern is particularly acute with pedestrians entering the roadway opposite the garbage room. There are problems with all of the suggestions (signs, lights, gates, mirrors, speed bumps) that have been suggested to deal with this problem but we need to continue to search for a solution. Caretaker Appreciation Our caretaker of several years, Mara Savic, attended the meeting for the first time and her presence elicited a loud, enthusiastic ovation in keeping with her popularity among residents. Mara has always done an excellent job, regularly going above and beyond her assigned duties to find ways to improve our lives at the Bentley.

CARRIED (2) MINUTES It was MOVED / SECONDED to approve the minutes of the Council Meeting held May 19th, 2015. CARRIED (3) FINANCIALS FINANCIAL STATEMENTS It was MOVED / SECONDED to approve the financial statements from April & May, 2015 prepared by Atira Property Management. CARRIED Crossroads will be completing reconciliation of these financial statements as they work on preparing the monthly financial statements for June. ARREARS (Owner Strata Fees) The Strata Council wishes to acknowledge the owners that do pay their strata fee payments timely. Unfortunately there are still about 20 owners that have not yet contacted Crossroads with payment arrangements for their strata fees and are now 3 weeks overdue on their June fees. If you have not provided Crossroads a pre-authorized debit for or cheques for your monthly strata fees please do so to avoid fines.

GIC Investments of Contingency Reserve Funds

The strata manager reported that two GICs being held in trust for the strata corporation at the Scotia Bank matured in June.

Accordingly, it was MOVED / SECONDED to consolidate these two GIC’s for deposit at Westminster Savings. The GIC’s at Westminster Savings do comply with all the new stricter compliance regulations. CARRIED

(4) REPORT ON LITIGATION The strata manager has contacted the strata corporation’s insurance legal representatives involved in an ongoing legal matter detailed in previous minutes, advising them that Crossroads Management should be contacted with any updates. Any correspondence received from the complainant will be forwarded to the appropriate legal representatives. (5) BUSINESS ARISING FROM PREVIOUS MINUTES The follow-up to the annual fire inspection and repairs will be completed June 25th. The annual parkade cleaning has now been completed. Now that the parkade has been cleaned it is up to all owners to ensure that their vehicle is not leaking any fluids and to keep their parking space clean. Total Energy will be scheduling approved pump repairs and exhaust fan replacements. The recent targeting of locker rooms at the Bentley has been linked to other crime activity in the area. The suspect has now been apprehended. In an effort to deter any further criminal activity in the building, there will be some ongoing security system reprogramming to provide better security tracking of key fob usage, parking gate access and storage locker entry. Additional security upgrading is being planned. Initially, this process entails seeking quotes for a comprehensive upgrading of the exterior door security of all locker rooms. Additional security equipment for several entrance doors from the stairwells into the parkade will also be included in these quotes. This work will most likely be done in phases, as the budget allows. Garage Gates: The most common security breach for buildings is someone gaining illegal entrance via garage gates. Please wait until the garage door fully closes before driving away from both parkade gates whether entering or leaving the building. Signage to remind residents to wait is being proposed. These signs will be placed near both garage access gates. It is anticipated that owners will take it upon themselves to be diligent in complying with this simple security measure without the Council imposing fines on violators. (6) CORRESPONDENCE Issues, concerns or complaints that an owner would like to bring to the Council’s attention should be sent by letter or email to the attention of the Strata Manager, Mr. Don Cook at Crossroads Management. This procedure will ensure the correspondence is properly documented and distributed to all Council members appropriately. Once received by Crossroads all written correspondence will be reviewed and discussed by the full Council at the next scheduled meeting. Correspondence was reviewed from units regarding maintenance issues and nuisance complaints.

Pet waste pick-up is an issue that pet owners need to take seriously and attend to diligently. Even if you wipe up or pick up after your dog that goes to the bathroom in the elevator, you should return to clean it properly. There have been complaints of misuse of the amenity room by individuals who have been allowed casual access to the room without a booking for the purpose of playing pool. This misuse includes bringing in numerous people, food spills, and damage caused by children who have been allowed to play without proper supervision. Residents are reminded that the use of the room for group activities requires a formal booking with the caretaker. Any future misuse will result in the resident being denied all casual access to the room. (7) NEW BUSINESS Quotes will be requested for painting of selected areas of the building exterior. Annual roof anchor testing will be scheduled for July. The irrigation system has been assessed for deficiencies and repairs will be scheduled in July. Unit glass repairs will be assessed and repaired on a prioritization basis. There has been a report of a lack of hot water. This issue appears to be isolated to certain units on a couple of floors. Total Energy will be contacted to assess and correct this issue. (8) ADJOURNMENT There being no further business, the meeting was terminated at 7:00 pm. The next scheduled meeting has been scheduled for September 1, 2015. Respectfully submitted, Don Cook Senior Strata Manager CrossRoads Management Ltd. [email protected]

Contingency Reserve Fund (CRF) Loan to the Operating Account When the annual insurance premium was due, it was approved by Council to transfer $40,000 from the CRF to the operating account to allow the premium to be paid in full. This practice is permitted by the Strata Act to allow stratas to avoid financing fees. It was Moved/Seconded by Council to direct Crossroads accounting to set up the appropriate monthly transfers to pay this loan back to the CRF this fiscal year. CARRIED

(4) REPORT ON LITIGATION The strata corporation has been contacted by a law firm representing the strata insurance company asking for authorization to obtain plumbing specifications and drawings from the City of Port Moody. The Council has authorized the release of the requested documentation. (5) BUSINESS ARISING FROM PREVIOUS MINUTES Garage Gates: The most common security breach for buildings is someone gaining illegal entrance via garage gates. Please wait until the garage door fully closes before driving away from both parkade gates whether entering or leaving the building. Signage has now been placed near both garage access gates as a reminder to residents and guests of this procedure. It is anticipated that owners will take it upon themselves to be diligent in complying with this simple security measure without the Council imposing fines on violators. During the summer, door security upgrades were installed on storage room and common area doors. Quotes and options for painting the peeling green painted areas at the front of the building are being gathered for work to be completed before the rainy weather. Annual roof anchor testing has been completed. The irrigation system has been assessed and some repairs now completed. The majority of the unit glass repairs for this year have now been assessed. These will be consolidated and repaired together, as a bosom chair drop from the outside will be required. The treadmill and elliptical machine in the fitness room have now been repaired. There has been a recommendation by the maintenance company to have the elliptical replaced. Options for replacement will be reviewed. There has been a series of repairs done to the water supply system, due to reports of a lack of hot water. This issue appears to have been isolated now. If you continue to experience no hot water please contact Crossroads management.

(6) CORRESPONDENCE Issues, concerns or complaints that an owner would like to bring to the Council’s attention should be sent by letter or email to the attention of the Strata Manager, Mr. Don Cook at Crossroads Management. This procedure will ensure the correspondence is properly documented and appropriately distributed to all Council members. Once received by Crossroads all written correspondence will be reviewed and discussed by the full Council at the next scheduled meeting. Correspondence was reviewed from units regarding maintenance issues and a minor water leak. Pet waste pick-up is an issue that pet owners need to take seriously and attend to diligently. Even if you wipe up or pick up after your dog that goes to the bathroom in the elevator or anywhere on common property, you should return to clean it properly. Smoking outside the building, but still on common property, has also increased and the smokers are continuing to be irresponsible regarding extinguishing and disposing of butts properly. This practice is not only in contravention to the Bylaws but poses a serious fire danger with dried out vegetation. Mara will be on vacation from September 24 until October 13th and Five Star Building Maintenance will be providing relief caretaker services.

(1) CALL TO ORDER It was MOVED / SECONDED to call the meeting to order at 5:05 pm. with a quorum being present. CARRIED Guest Business Mr. Mike Schmidt, President of Urban Communications, attended the meeting to present information to the Council regarding the prospects of his company introducing a new fibre optics infrastructure within the building for owners use and benefits. Once the infrastructure would be installed, the capacity and speed improvement for internet usage would be significant. In time, further features like internet TV channels would also be available for the owners to purchase. There would not be any up front costs to the strata or owners associated with this infrastructure upgrade. Each owner would be offered the company's internet and other programs. Each owner would then be able to compare these program features and pricing with the services from their current provider and decide whether or not to choose to upgrade at any time. It is expected that there would be additional savings offered to owners that do sign up during an introductory period. It was moved and seconded to move forward with allowing Urban Fibre to proceed with the no cost infrastructure installation.

(3) FINANCIALS It was MOVED / SECONDED to approve the financial statements for October, 2015. CARRIED ARREARS (Owner Strata Fees) The Strata Council wishes to acknowledge the owners that pay their strata fee payments on time. There has been over $3,000 in overdue strata fees collected by Crossroads over the last 60 days. (4) REPORT ON LITIGATION: nothing to report (5) REPORT ON UNAPPROVED EXPENDITURES: nothing to report (6) BUSINESS ARISING FROM PREVIOUS MINUTES Additional security upgrading to provide reinforcement to the mailbox banks has now been completed.

Upgrading selected fitness equipment, in particular the elliptical machine is still being looked into. We have experienced an unacceptable number of elevator outages in recent months and in their frustration some residents have asked why we do not change our elevator service company. This is not an option as we have little choice but to employ the company that manufactured our elevators for service as they are the only source of the proprietary parts needed for repairs. To address service problems, Council has requested additional maintenance history reports and Council members have met with the elevator company to express their dissatisfaction concerning the ongoing maintenance issues. The Strata, together with Crossroads, will continue to do everything possible to push for better maintenance in an effort to minimize elevator outages.

(7) CORRESPONDENCE Issues, concerns or complaints that an owner would like to bring to the Council’s attention should be sent by letter or email to the attention of the Strata Manager, Mr. Don Cook, at Crossroads Management. This procedure will ensure the correspondence is properly documented and distributed to all Council members appropriately. Once received by Crossroads, all written correspondence will be reviewed and discussed by the full Council at the next scheduled meeting. A request was received to move one of the treadmill machines closer to the window in the Exercise Room. Due to the special electrical power requirement for these machines and spacing limitations, this request could not be accommodated. Council will be reviewing whether a fan could be installed in the Exercise Room to provide more air circulation. Pet waste pick-up is an issue that pet owners need to take seriously and attend to diligently. Even if you wipe up or pick up after your pet that goes to the bathroom in the elevator or any common area on the property, you need to return to the soiled area to clean it properly. (8) NEW BUSINESS As most owners and residents are well aware, the building has an exceptional and extremely hard working caretaker in Mara. It was moved/seconded to award her with a year end bonus. CARRIED It was moved/seconded to not have a winterization service done on the dry sprinkler system. CARRIED It has come to the Strata’s attention that the Amenity Room Rules that have been provided owners when booking the room are not exactly the same as the Rules posted on the building web site. Council reviewed the differences and has decided that the official version posted on the website should be used. These rules will be provided to owners when booking the room. Mara was not made aware of the differences and, therefore, had been inadvertently providing owners a different version of the Rules. Council takes full responsibility for the inconsistency. While the dryer vent contractor was onsite they had an accident and shattered a unit's patio glass panel. The debris from this accident has now been cleaned up and a new glass panel ordered. The dryer vent company is coordinating this repair and will be responsible for all associated costs. Council reviewed the current situation wherein the back patio door automatically locked at 8:00 PM every night and could not be accessed by fob from the outside. As there was no known reason for this state of affairs, the auto-lock has been removed and the door is now accessible by fob at all times. (9) ADJOURNMENT There being no further business, the meeting was terminated at 7 pm. The next meeting has been scheduled for January 19th, 2016.
