Message from the President of Condo I
As I write this, I realize there’s not much I can add to the warnings and recommendations we receive daily. You already know what you need to do to keep yourself and your loved ones safe. But we still have to be concerned how this pandemic affects the Blue Ridge community.
This is definitely not business as usual. Your Board is working hard to meet our responsibilities, and the processes have slowed down since we cannot be in the office.
IT IS VITAL THAT WE STRIVE TO WORK TOGETHER.
Here are some things you need to know and do:
- Even though the office is closed, we do get your messages. Try not to call for minor issues so we can avoid filling our Voice Mail capacity. Limit calls to essential emergencies. The maintenance men are working, but only for outside work, unless there is an emergency. So any indoor work that can be postponed will not be scheduled at this time.
- Checks cannot be processed every day. It may take up to 4 business days before you see your check cashed. Please follow up with the board if it is over 7 days and you don’t see your check cashed.
- Do not flush paper towels or wipes down the toilet regardless of what the package may indicate. These items cause major backups and can be dangerous for you, your neighbors and the sewer treatment plant. You must follow this directive.
- We are working with our landscapers, exterminator, sprinkler company, roofer and lighting company to stay ahead of these services. While they all try to provide us with the services we need, it may be a little slower than you are used to.
- As many of us are working and schooling at home, please be considerate of your neighbor. Please keep the volume on TV’s and music down. If you must smoke, please smoke on your patio so the smoke does not filter into your neighbors’ units. A little courtesy goes a long way.
I hope you were able to enjoy your holiday. I thank you in advance for your cooperation. I know I can count on all of you to help us get through this crisis.
Rich Hansen, President, Condo I
