WW Update - Condominium Collapse Article Excerpt
by David Wilson 10 Jul '21

10 Jul '21

Salutations WW Owners; Concerns arising from the recent collapse of the condominium in Surfside, Florida trigger this communication. Notwithstanding the many surveys and studies conducted including Reserves, Insurance, Elevator, Roofing, and so on, we tend to feel pretty good. Regardless, two members of the Buildings Cte, namely Chuck Strub and Burt Kline have commenced investigation into the various standards referred to in the media including the Forty Year Certification, to be in a proactive position to respond to any board inquiries in this regard, should they arise. In addition to fully supporting this activity as Buildings Cte chair, I point out that this committee activity involves the expenditure of no money. Further information shall be reported as appropriate. On another topic, the identified tropical storm Elsa, created a scurry of activity to remove items left on the WW verandahs, so they don't blow around puncturing screens, damaging glass, or worse. Some seasonal residents left these items for others to clear, having departed for summer residences. Others are unable to handle these objects themselves and need assistance. I am pleased to say that this assistance had been forthcoming so that this task has not been totally on the shoulders of Tony and Ramon. In the aftermath of Elsa, no significant damage was reported, however, a schefflera in front of B6 received minor damage and was subsequently trimmed back. I am also pleased to report that the buildings inspections performed by WW governors has been submitted, somewhat delayed because of technical difficulties but now completed, by vice chair John Williams, and passed to volunteer Tony Cappelli to action thes observed deficiencies. This process will be repeated again in the fall. These coordinated inspections supplement the ongoing reporting by owners noting various issues in the interim. We are reminded that with the exception of one paid employee, all other activities and most management functions are performed by unpaid volunteers and your continuing support is appreciated when offered. Best regards. Dave Wilson ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Miami-Dade and Broward counties are the only Florida counties that require aging high-rises to go through a reinspection after they reach 40 years of age. Those that fail to make needed improvements can lose their occupancy license. But the action letters could have a ripple effect across the state if they result in policies being dropped and a tightening of the insurance market. Half of all Floridians live in property covered by a condominium or home owners association, and there are more than 50,000 community associations in the state, said Travis Moore, lobbyist for Community Associations Institute. “This is a game changer and the conversation has completely changed in a week,’’ he said.

Reassuring Words for WW Owners
by David Wilson 30 Jun '21

30 Jun '21

Hi all; Our WW Board is fortunate to receive interesting comments and suggestions from many sources and I am pleased to pass on one such informed and reassuring message. Especially considering the recent fiasco near Miami. Check into the contribution by WW owner, Lou Nuspl B7U3, with our thanks. Dave Wilson ------------------------------------------------------------------------ As this story unfolds in more and more detail, I am comforted to know and remember that our complex of low rise buildings with no underground basements were examined is detail by structural engineers some 10 years ago. They did examine the steel supports for the buildings themselves (found very few rust issues there as I recall , but some) . The big rust issue was the steel support under the balconies . Each balcony was examined by wire camera. Separate work on each was determined by what was found on each . A thorough tedious job that took a long time . Each step was checked by the engineer rep as well as the Board representatives. I recall in some cases we were not totally satisfied with the grinding and had more done. But minor stuff only . Overall they were very picky and tedious . Took a long time and I believe well done . Time and the weather and air conditions will show if it will last another 50 years . I’m glad we have the kind of low rise complex we do have . Also that we have a through structural report done not that long ago that should help the nervous owners. I’m expecting some owners are very concerned because of this building collapse . Also the newer ones will not know or appreciate what was done at WW ten years ago . If you do not have that report available for review by an owner on the WW website you might want to do that soon . As you likely have heard Florida is looking at making some changes to the Condo regulations because of this . I’m guessing it will include the requirement to do a structural review at time periods (like maybe every 10 years ) to catch problems like this early on before they risk lives . I’m shocked to recently hear their Board likely knew of the rusting rebar in the basement and outside walls . Lou

New transformer
by David Wilson 25 Jun '21

25 Jun '21

Hi all; Duke Energy reacted to calls from Whispering Waters that their transformer was leaking fluids on our property. A new, taller transformer with a smaller footprint was installed on a new concrete pad, and new shrubbery compatible the rest of the campus completed the project. The leaked fluids were cleaned up. A number of WW volunteers assisted ranging from notification, barricading parking spots to permit trucks to position close by, help for owners displaced during the loss of electricity, and so on. The pictures tell the tale. Now that everyone is practiced up, they get to do it all over again on Tuesday July 13 when Duke Energy will be replacing the second matching transformer powering the south side of the campus, located beside B4 and in front of B5. Thanks to everyone for their participation, it all went well😁. Best regards. Dave Wilson

WW RBM Minutes 2021/06/21 - Maintenance Issues
by David Wilson 23 Jun '21

23 Jun '21

Hi all; Attached are the minutes of the June 21st WW board meeting. This meeting was called to reconcile a number of minor maintenance issues relating mostly to elevators with some roofing and fire control issues added in. The number of issues dealt with is of no particular concern, but about what you might expect if you had to look after eight, sixty year old residences yourself😁. WW has the option to call regular board meetings at any time, if required, with a minimum 48 hour notice to all owners, which supplement, the eight regulatory scheduled monthly (RBM) meetings throughout the year, with the summer off. This was one of those meetings. Even at this meeting, because of governors having other activities as normal during the summer, it was difficult to obtain the six person quorum, of the ten governor total, requiring a phone call to get us over the threshold. Our lawyer recommended establishing a board pre-approved procedure to handle these minor, but frequent, rapid response situations, without needing to call a board meeting, and you will notice in the minutes that this was accomplished. This rapid response procedure complements the already existing revolving credit account at Home Depot that the maintenance folks use as they resolve many of their day to day issues themselves without necessitating a board meeting. To all owners, please enjoy your summer and stay safe. Best regards. Dave Wilson WW Chair
