Carpet Cleaning
Carolyn has arranged to have carpets cleaned. Cleaning will be conducted on September 28th. She will post a notice for tenants in advance in case any suffer from allergies and need to take associated precautions.
City of Portland Recycling
Carolyn reported that she will be receiving recycling materials ordered by NWCM and will distribute them to all unit occupants. NWCM will then mail a new set of materials annually to Carolyn for redistribution to unit occupants.
Bike Racks
The board received two bids to install 15-20 bicycle racks in the utility areas of the building for approximately $1000 and $1500.
