The August Homeowners’ Forum is scheduled for August 26th at 6:30 p.m. in Sky.

At the forum, we will be discussing proposed amendments to MidCity Lofts’ governing documents. We will also be discussing intended improvements to the building, and possible assessments.

Additionally, Mark Williams of Mark Williams Design Associates will present the redesign of the carpet and elevator cabs as well as a preliminary design plan for renovations to SKY and the pool deck. If you haven’t looked at Mark Williams’ website, it can be found at http://www.markwilliams-design.com/ - the MidCity Lofts design committee is very excited about the upcoming design, and the Homeowners’ Forum will be the perfect opportunity for you to see what’s in store for our community.

Mark your calendars! The August Meet and Greet will be held in the Spring Street lobby on Wednesday, August 13th from 7:30 to 9:30 a.m. Information about the Homeowners’ Forum, including amendments and assessments up for vote, will be available at the Meet and Greet. Starbucks coffee and bagels will be served.

Come get your caffeine fix before you head off to work!

The Rules and Regs Committee will meet on Tuesday, August 5th at 6:30 p.m. We will review the newly drafted construction and contractor policies. The committee will meet in conference room G2. All interested MidCity owners and residents are invited to attend. Please contact Rayandra Slonina at reslonina@aol.com with questions.

All MidCity owners and residents should be receiving a reference binder by tomorrow evening. The binders will be left outside each door (and mailed to homeowners who live offsite). There is a cover letter on the inside pocket that explains the purpose of the binders. Please keep them for future policy updates and communications. Contact Rayandra Slonina at reslonina@aol.com with questions.

Additionally, all current policies and governing documents can be found at http://residents.midcitylofts.com.

The MidcCity Lofts new collection and parking policies have been placed online. The parking policy may be found here: http://residents.midcitylofts.com/resident-resources/parking-policy/ and the collection policy may be found here: http://residents.midcitylofts.com/resident-resources/collection-policy/

Residents who have not returned their key fob audit forms to the concierge station should promptly do so – fobs that are not accounted for are scheduled to be deactivated, so if you haven’t turned in your form, you may find it difficult to get in the building.

If you didn’t receive a form, or have lost yours, blank ones are available at the concierge desk.

The parking garage will be swept on July 29th, beginning at nine in the morning. Any resident who need a parking pass for the Centergy garage can pick one up from the concierge.

All cars should be moved before sweeping begins.

If you have any questions, just send email to MCL@gofifthstreet.com.

The July Board of Directors Meeting will be held on Monday, July 28th at 6:30 p.m. in the G2 conference room. All interested residents are invited to attend.

The Board of Directors currently has a vacancy. If you are interested in serving on the board and helping improve our community, please send a brief statement of interest and qualifications to Rayandra Slonina at reslonina@aol.com by 9:00 a.m. on July 28. A financial background is a plus.

According to the MidCity bylaws, the replacement board member will be selected by majority vote of the remaining board members and will serve until the end of the year, whereupon they may run for reelection for the 2009-2010 term.

Have a question or comment about the building? Want to offer a suggestion? Need some caffeine before work or working out? Plan on stopping by the Spring Street lobby Wednesday, July 30th from seven to nine in the morning for Starbucks coffee and bagels with the board of directors and Fifth Street Management.
