It might be best if you discuss with Dave what your position will be. You will not get a vote each like an EC meeting. It will go to entitlement units. So both of you will need to form a mutual position and vote for your partnership.

>>> As I said on the day Im generaly in favor of pets. But I wanted to make sure the greater good was served rather then one person. You will find I will always act in this way.

>>> To that end I enclose the attached bylaw. It has the changes we spoke about in the meeting which include removing the dog size restriction and allowing two pets. It also adds a size to fish tanks which will prevent serous damage to the building in case of a breach/leak.
>>>
>>> For nervous people I have added two steps. One that the pet never be allowed to enter/exit via Level E. That way people can always travel via E and never be bailed up by a dog. Also I have added a line where people with pet's in the lifts are required to in effect Give way to a nervous person. That is if someone is in a lift and a person with a dog goes to get in, The person without the dog always has the rite to ask the person to take the next lift.
>>>
>>> I have also given the EC blanket power to reject any particular dog that is considered dangerous. I think these changes are all fair and I would have no problem voting yes for this. Note that Pia could do this monday and send it out. It's my opinion that within the minimum statute time period the building would be pet Friendly.
>>>
>>> Ed Could you follow up with the final figures for the Special Levy that will allow us to do the renovation. Once that's in Pia can send out the details and get it ratified.
>>>
>>> I suggest we send some background letter with it that spells out the need for the Special Levy and perhaps show's some of Rowan's Ideas.
