--question re: alarms in  units & how management knows alarms are working
--problems with arcade parking space (Bresler)
--fan coil demonstration requested
--water pump noise: management should not be tinkering with water pressure, should have a guarantee from contractor not instructions how to correct malfunction. Suggestion to ask Heath for opinion. If design plan is cause of noise might want to reconsider Mendoza as lead company for fan coil replacement program.
