The restoration of Pointe West is progressing through the wind associated damage which is primarily above the parking garage. The Associations anticipate the first funding from the flood insurance within the next month, this will provide funding for breakaway walls and other items in the garage level. In anticipation of returning the condomnium buildings to their original appearance we request that all owners remove the contents from their storage units. As the majority of the items in the storage cages have been ruined by the flood waters we request that this be completed in accordance to the following schedule:
March 27, 2009 - April 30, 2009
Owners to remove and dispose of contents from Storage Units
Owner can also give notice to CCMC to have porter remove ruined contents
May 1, 2009 - May 8, 2009
Porters cut locks from remaining storage units and dispose of ruined contents
May 11, 2009
Owners can start using storage units

Jerry Mohn noted this is the 10 year anniversary of the WGIPOA. It formed in March 1999.
The GLO will wait 2 seasons before establishing the final 4.5 foot line.
HB911 - Otie Zapp presented a summary on the impact of this potential new legislation. Otie believes this will produce devestating effects for Galveston and its property owners. All those present were in agreement action is needed to ensure this legislation is not approved. Everyone may want to keep up to date on the progress of this bill. Please read this attachment. https://home.comcast.net/~alpetros/HBill_911.pdf
Karen Mahoney, District 6, City Council reported on several topics. Of interest was:
- The Recovery Committee would be presenting to City Council on April 9 and public comment will be held at Ball HS this Saturday.
- Bollard replacement is behind schedule. City Council will be discussing this at the next meeting. She asked that we call the police if vehicles are driving on the beach where not allowed.
- Illegal signs posted by contractors will be coming down.
Cheryl Johnson, Tax Assessor/Collector moderated a PowerPoint presentation and had several handouts that she believed should answer most questions about her department's responsibilities and upcoming legislation that could affect each of us.

If your building is in flooring stage it should be completed with in the next couple of weeks. Please send me an email to schedule a time to perform your walk through. Send it to matthewprince@mrpandcompany.com in the subject line put your building and unit number/walk through. PLEASE ONLY USE THIS EMAIL IF YOU ARE SCHEDULING A WALK THROUGH OTHERWISE IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS REGARDING YOUR BUILDING PLEASE USE mrpconstruction@rocketmail.com Thank you for your cooperation.
Side Note: We have written a protocol for securing these buildings and it is being followed. However I would like to reiterate this is a construction site and I can not be in every unit all the time. If you have anything of great value inside your unit it is recommended that you remove it until reconstruction is complete. This is just a precaution.
Also the above mentioned stages are set by the building. For example: If 7 units have finished paint and trim than the building is in flooring stage even though there are still 2 units finishing up paint.
Thank you to everyone for your patience and understanding. I feel very good about how things are going and the time in which we are getting things done.
Thanks again,
