Dear Galleon Residents,

As you know, the Galleon is undergoing several major building projects at this time. Our major focus is to coordinate CA Lindman and subcontracts while trying to minimize resident inconvenience. To date, I believe Paul has done an outstanding job coordinating this effort. CA Lindman has two crews working simultaneously to restore the catwalk and repair the leaks within the North and South Concrete Slabs (i.e. Garage Ceiling).

At this time, we expect most of the North Drive way to be complete by the end of 2006. However, we will have restricted usage (i.e. parking) as CA Lindman continues to restore the catwalk and install the new lattice.

Earlier this week, we changed the traffic pattern and shut down parking below the pool deck. Paul and John worked for two days trying to determine the number of parking spaces needed and how we are going to coordinate the effort to continue minimizing disruption to Galleon Residents. At this time, it appears, we have adequate parking for the residents in the building.

Earlier this week, SPEC, our professional engineering firm advised the Galleon to drain the Swimming pool for approximately 30 days until the Concrete repairs have been completed below the pool deck. SPEC and CA Lindman are concerned that the vibrations resulting from work below the pool may result in possible flooding etc. Therefore, to minimize risk of damage (i.e. flooding the basement), the Galleon Pool will be drained and closed until further notice (hopefully mid January, 2007).

If you are planning to occupy your unit this season, please contact Security at 954-563-2497 to alert them of your plans. That way, we can try to minimize inconvenience to you. Should you have any questions or comments, do not hesitate to contact myself or Paul.

PS - For those of your who do not remember the Concrete projects performed in 1999, it is extremely loud, dusty and may disrupt your relaxation plans.

Thank you and have a Happy Safe Holiday Season!

Best Regards,

Vincent L. Persiani, CPA President of Board of Governors, The Galleon Condominium Apartments, Inc.
