SCC# 354 37 ELLEN STREET, BARRIE SEPTEMBER 2010

NOTES FROM THE CONDO BOARD

What an incredible summer we are having. The waterfront events have

been such a part of the Nautica lifestyle. The Social Committee is

creating a community environment that so many people are enjoying.

Our pool area is now open and being well received by those who have

taken advantage of the facility. As a Board we continue to focus on

issues as they arise and moving the initiatives forward to seeing our

building complete.

Some key things that we have been working on:

Web Site & Newsletter Masthead: A web site is being developed for

37 Ellen St. Preliminary work has been completed and approved. Our

address will be www.nauticacommunity.ca. Launch is expected by mid

September. The web site will include our newsletters (last three issues),

all forms, rules and regulations, updates and contact information. Once

it is launched we will welcome your feedback and ideas on how to

make this an effective communication tool for our residents. The web

site will be password protected for residents only. We would like to

thank one of our advertisers, Janette Lee of Scoopmedia, for

developing the web site and training Lauraleigh Brumwell and Marg

Arland on updating the site. Janette has also designed the new

masthead for our newsletter. She has done both of these at no charge.

Lighting: The auto sensor lighting was designed to save energy and

cost. Unfortunately there have been an extraordinary number of

burned out lights. The system is being tested to determine the best

approach to this situation.

Common Area Donations: We would like to thank our generous

residents for the donations that we have received for the common

area. To ensure that everything is taken into consideration for current

and future needs, a policy has been developed to evaluate all items

before they are accepted. This will be published on the web site.

Small Fobs: For security purposes, a six month expiry date is being

imposed on these fobs. Please make sure that you are aware of when

your fob will expire.

Security: Russell Security is now in place and trained. Should you

experience any problems, excessive noise or disturbances in the

evening, please call Security. The number is the same as the

superintendents' number – 705-333-8885. Security will visit the suite

that is causing the disturbance, take appropriate action, and inform you

of the result. The incident will also be logged in our files.

Page 1

Special Requests/Complaints: If you have a request for the management office, PLEASE put it in writing

and submit it to Rita. It is important that things be documented and prioritized. This is necessary to

ensure that the proper people are informed and the matter is handled in a timely and efficient manner.

Performance Audit Status: The audit is well on its way. Thank you for submitting your questionnaire.

We will keep you posted.

Election Day: Municipal election is scheduled for October 25th. There will be on-site voting on October

18th for Nautica residents only.

Enjoy the rest of your summer!!!

GOOD FOOD !!!

At the two pot luck dinners that some of the residents recently enjoyed, there were some delicious food

dishes. Would someone be interested in submitting a recipe to share with neighbours in the building?

When space permits, an occasional recipe would add a bit of variety to the newsletter.

MARK YOUR CALENDARS FOLKS!

The Knowles/Woolsey Team cordially invites you to a reception on Thursday September 16, 2010

from 6.30 pm – 8.30 pm in the Kempenfelt Room.

There will be a special gift presentation to the Nautica residents

at 7:00 pm.

We look forward to seeing you there.

Steve, Karen & Scott

BICYCLES

Bicycles are not permitted in the elevators, nor should they be ridden in the condo building, other than

in the garage. They must be carried, not ridden, and the stairs must be used rather than the elevators.

These restrictions are necessary in order to protect the carpets and elevators.

POOL USAGE REMINDERS

PLEASE NOTE: Per Ontario’s Pool Regulations (Section 8C), every operator must keep a sign-in log setting

out total number of bathers admitted to the pool each day.

As such, please ensure that you sign in with every use, indicating the number of persons with you.

SOMETHING TO CONSIDER: Parents or guardians should consider that children past the toddler stage

should use the appropriate change room. Just something to think about – that maybe young boys should

use the men’s change room and young girls should use the women’s. It is, perhaps, having respect for

your fellow residents and their privacy.

WHAT IS IT?

Have you noticed this bird while walking through the Eco Park? Were you wondering what it was?

Here’s your answer – It’s a Double-crested Cormorant! They were quite unusual a few years ago but are

now multiplying at a great rate.

Thank you to Bryan Metcalf at 33 Ellen Street for providing this photo and information.
