MINUTES of the Residents’ Association Last Meeting:

NOTE: The Residents’ Association meets every month on the third Tuesday. Next meeting, March 17.

ebruary 17, 2026. Residents’ Association Meeting Minutes

Marcia Bates, Secretary, taking minutes; Karen Wandvik, President, Peggy Cooper, Vice President.

35 attendees.  Quorum met.

Approved the minutes from January 2026.

Peggy, subbing for Karen (who has just returned from overseas) gives news of various issues:

Doors.  Jeff has finally agreed to adjust hard-to-open doors to our apartments after the Fire Marshall called him saying it was OK to reduce the pressure of doors.  Will adjust the doors in batches.  Has gotten an estimate from vendor for doing it.  We will let you know when we learn more.

Batteries.  Art is replacing all the batteries in the building.  We’ve made it clear that it is unacceptable to leave batteries chirping overnight before replacement.  

Marcia presents on food.  Restaurant Manager’s Handbook chapter titles shown to Jeff—she reads several key chapter titles to show the operational improvements needed in the dining service.  Jeff and Roz have mainly focused on hiring more servers, not on the underlying lacks in the organization and operation of the food service.  We argue that it is the latter that most needs attention.

Other issues:  Glen: Still problems of elevators.  People getting jammed. Report them to Jeff.  Use cards at concierge desk to get email address of staff.

Toni: Displays re Back History Month have been taken down. Charlie should be contacted.

Committees:

Joan, Welcoming Committee.

28 new residents this month.  Total is 116 now; doesn’t include Generations.   The latter is full now.  She would welcome more new members in welcome committee.

Let Charlie or Gigi know that you haven’t gotten a name tag yet.  Next page->

Guy: Facilities Committee.

Let him know if staff have come to apt without warning.

Ask Karen for updated list of names, apt numbers, and email.

Food Committee:  Dorie.  The committee is now going to concentrate on nutrition.

It is going to ask who actually plans meals and menus. Nutritionist involved?

How are dietary restrictions handled, like peanut allergies?

Do people want sauces on the side? 

Meeting adjourned.
