Defibrillator
Did You Know...
 Did you know that we have a Defibrillator in the lobby and at the Caf�? What is it you say! A Defibrillator is a piece of medical equipment that can be used to restore a heart to a normal beat after the onset of a heart attack. All of our security staff has been trained in the use of the Defibrillator and you now have the opportunity to be trained too. If interested, please contact the management office for class times, cost is approximately $45 and includes an American Red Cross Certificate in the use of the Defibrillator.

L�Hermitage I Condominium Association, Inc.
From the President
 As we come to the end of the year and the beginning of a new year, we take stock of how life in our building has improved, and how things could improve even more in the future. Despite physical problems with some of our building systems, life at L�Hermitage I has continued to get better from services to social life and from amenities to management.
A lot of these improvements are directly due to the work and efforts of our owners who actively participate in the work of our Committees through open meetings and discussions throughout the course of the year in order to provide the Board with alternatives and recommendations to improve our building and its environment.
We have found the Committee system to be an effective means of owners� participation, open to all, and a system that will avoid the pitfalls of a few making decisions for the many. I encourage all of our owners, to the extent possible, to participate in our Committees if they are not able to participate as members of the Board.
Sincerely,
Will Montes de Oca , President

I would like to welcome back all of the residents who are returning to L�Hermitage for the winter season. I look forward to meeting all of you. I would like to take this opportunity to remind everyone that there will be much more traffic on the L�Hermitage roadway and in the garage as residents return for the season and I ask that everyone take a little extra care while driving and parking.
Additionally, there will be more guests and service providers coming to L�Hermitage. This is to remind everyone that the parking along the roadway is by valet only. Please ask your guests and service providers to be patient with valet as they do their best to take care of everyone. When the parking areas are full it will be necessary for valet to direct the overflow to the public lots outside the main entrance to L�Hermitage or to the public lots along the Galt Mile.
The L�Hermitage I staff would like to wish everyone a safe and happy holiday season.
Best Regards,
Donald Westbrook

Happy New Year! The upcoming year will bring to closure a project we have been working on for some time... the Developer Settlement. A formal settlement agreement was signed on September 8, 2003. As a result of our negotiations, the Developer is making numerous repairs to our building, including terrace edges and parapet walls. Additionally, we accepted title to Unit 303 which has been sold resulting in a net of $173,000 to the Association. The Developer has constructively worked towards remedying our access problems to the north roof equipment rooms by adding a proposed walkway addition to the north tower.
Currently, the Developer�s crew is working its way around the building making the repairs to the terrace edges and parapet walls. This work is expected to take 120 days to complete, but has already been delayed by rain and wind. The $173,000 derived from the sale of Unit 303 has been deposited in the reserve fund with $98,000 being credited directly to �Waterproofing and Painting�. By distributing the money this way we are now fully funded in this area and financially ready to waterproof and paint the building upon the completion of the developer�s work. The balance of the money has been distributed to various components in the reserve fund, and will help to offset increases in your reserve fund contributions over the next few years. Last but not least, the architectural drawings for the new walkway have already passed the City�s Administrative Review Board and are now being engineered by the Developer. If all goes well we hope to start this project immediately after the permits are approved.
Going into 2004, it is my goal to finish up our brass restoration project in the elevators and get started on a wood restoration project. It is my objective to return the elevators to a first class condition, simultaneously implementing a preventive maintenance program.
Congratulations to the Board of Directors! Our current Board members were the only members submitting a Notice of Intent to run for the Board, and as a result no election will be required.

 ATTENTION
Please keep your foyer doors closed at all times.
 Open doors allow wind into the elevator shafts which can adversely affect their operation.
