Office Hours: 8:30 AM 5:00 PM, Mon-Fri Office Phone: Office Fax: Valet Phone: CAPITAL EXPENSES In a few months we will be working on the 2016 budget. If you have any suggestions on things that need to be done, please drop a note as soon as possible. We cannot guarantee that your idea or suggestion will get done in 2016 or anytime in the near future, but we can say that all will be reviewed and considered. If you are interested in being on the Budget or Long Range Planning Committee, please let the manager know. ARE YOU PREPARED IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT? Have you checked and/or updated your insurance policy lately? Do you know if your coverage is sufficient to cover the building s $10,000 deductible in case of an accident? For example, should you have a faulty lamp that causes a fire with $15,000 in damages, the first $10,000 of what the Association is responsible for would be charged to you; do you have coverage for that? Another example is, if a water line to your commode or sink (s) breaks and does $10,000 worth of damage to items the Association is responsible for in the units below you; will you have adequate coverage? By-Laws are clear that an owner will be held responsible for losses and all associated costs. Copies of the By-Laws are available at under the Residents tab and copies of our certification of coverage are available in the office if it may be of any help to you. So check today to make sure you are covered.

2 Page 2 of 7 Before making any arrangements with tenants, please read the following guidelines required by the Regency. No residential Unit may be occupied by anyone, other than the Owner or the Owner s immediate family, except under a valid written lease between the Owner and the person occupying the unit. No person may occupy a residential Unit under such lease unless and until such lease has been approved by the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors will expedite its review of such lease in order not to inconvenience the Owner or Lessee. No lease which has a term of less than six (6) months will be approved by the Board of Directors. No sub-leases will be permitted. (Neither by Lessee or Lessor.) The Unit Owner must make copies of the Declaration, By-laws, and the Rules and Regulations available to the Attorney preparing the lease. The lease needs to state that a copy of the Rules and Regulations has been given to the Lessee and that the Lessee has read and agreed to abide by these Rules and Regulations. Also, the Lessee s attention should be directed to the rule entitled Moving In and Out Household, where a Tower Unit is involved, and to complete a Regency Resident s Data Card, available at the General Office of the Association. At no time will Association provide any services normally associated with a hotel. ORIENTATION All new move-ins are required to attend a short orientation meeting with the manager.

Timeframe: Work completed in 4 months (with 2 month extension option, upon approval). Blueprint or drawing of plans submitted for approval by Jim Schafer and Jeff Dowd.

Tower Residents: UNIT NUMBER Every day a portion of the mail comes addressed without a unit number. Please inform family, friends, clubs, churches, banks, investment companies and all businesses you deal with to include the unit number in your address. Turn off your car. The seconds you take to turn off your car are worth the savings to your health and wallet. Please limit the amount of time you idle your car, or completely eliminate idling.

Bag all trash. Do not stuff oversized bags down the chute! They will get stuck and prevent other bags from sliding down. 4. Please close the trash chute to keep odors out of the halls! 5. All empty boxes should be flattened and placed in the service elevator room, not in the trash room. July Birthstone: Ruby July Flower: Larkspur According to the Rules and Regulations of the Regency Condos, No carts of any kind (Regency or personal) are to be brought on the lobby elevators. The service elevator must be used for all carts, luggage, bicycles and any other bulky items. We are noticing more and more incidences of people using the front elevators with their illegal carts. Since the cabs have been redone, people have been reminded to use the service elevator only for all carts and pets unless the service elevator call light is out indicating it is being used for a special purpose and then the front elevators may be used even though they are otherwise prohibited. Once again, the only carts that will be allowed on the front elevators are the personal fold up grocery carts (12 x 12 foot print maximum).
