MEETING FEBRUARY 8, 2006
Present: Don Wilson, Dave Eagle, Gerry Howell, Marshall Derby, Bill Hays and Pat
Nelson.
The meeting was called to order at 7:32 p.m.
The Minutes of the previous meeting were approved as submitted.
Marshall indicated that no Treasurer's report would be submitted or made.
RANGEWAY
Dave reported that the crew from Minuteman is at work but the pace is rather slow.
Completion is going to be later than expected.
CARBON MONOXIDE DETECTORS
Dave distributed the summary from the Department of Fire Services (copy attached)
but said that no one yet knows what is going to happen after March 31. There has been
some discussion about incorporating the new carbon monoxide test with the smoke
detector test but no answer has yet been handed down. Also there is the question of
whether both alarms can be incorporated in one device.
There was some discussion with regard to the placement of new combined detectors
in all of our units as a precaution.
It was moved and unanimously
VOTED: that Lexhab move as expeditiously as possible to install carbon monoxide
detectors (or combined units) in all of our dwellings.
JOHNSON FARM
Marshall indicated that the closing will probably not occur until late this month. He
said that he expects to be present for the walk-through and invited others who might be
interested to join him. Pat Nelson will be preparing for the closing. Marshall noted that
inasmuch as the landscaping will not be completed by closing, there will need to be a hold-
back to cover this work.

MISCELLANEOUS
1. Office Lease.
A simple extension has been offered for three years at a 10% increase. The
consensus was that the extension should be executed.
2. Muzzey
Marshall reported that Mr. Gillis speaking for the management at Muzzey had
asked that Lexhab pay $1,000 for an extension of the period for divestiture of our 13th unit.
Marshall declined, instead indicating that Lexhab would be willing to pay for a waiver of
the prohibition against Lexhab's ownership of a 13th unit. Pat Nelson has put the offer into
a letter and noted in the letter that the assumption is that the six-month period for
divestiture is in suspense and not running. So far there is no answer.
Marshall noted that the management is now indicating that even if it recommends
our proposal and even if the Trustees buy into it, there will likely need to be approval of
the proposal at a meeting of unit owners.
3. Subsidy program
Bill distributed the enclosed report relating to the existing subsidy program and
described briefly the committee's thinking on the contents of the guidelines that will be
needed for the new program.
The meeting adjourned at approximately 830 0 p.m.
