AdviceForSellingInCurrentDunedinMarket
by Catherine Spencer 03 Jun '20

03 Jun '20

Hi all, Towards the end of last year, Antony Hamel, lawyer, who specialises in property and conveyancing and represents a number of cohousers, came to a meeting for those of us interested in selling our houses before moving into cohousing. Given the ensuing changes from Covid 19, he is keen to meet again with any interested cohousers to update them with the current house market since lockdown levels have eased. Again there are no costs or obligations with such a meeting and is open to any cohousers, whether or not they are his clients. For ease of organising, I have suggested that he could zoom into the “social” meeting next Thursday at 8pm for half an hour, along with questions for any one interested, if this is acceptable to people. Please let me if you are interested and would like for that to happen at that time. If there is sufficient interest we will go ahead, otherwise will find another time - though tricky to co-ordinate - for those interested. Thanks, Catherine

Power supply options
by Warren Hurley 01 Jun '20

01 Jun '20

Kia ora everyone Attached is the report that I read from at last night's meeting. The power supply network, its rules, and participants is a complicated environment. I have tried to simplify it as much as possible while including components that may affect our decisions. So there are 2 pages of report and 5 pages of background information. It's also in landscape format to make some tables fit. The most important thing is that you look at https://www.canstarblue.co.nz/energy/electricity-providers/ and choose 2 or 3 preferred suppliers before the next meeting. Thanks Warren

notes from meeting 28 May
by Liz Mitchell 31 May '20

31 May '20

Thank you to those who offered amendments to the minutes from Thursday's meeting. Please find attached, the corrected notes. Kind regards Liz I received the following reply from Roz, but my understanding of meeting protocol means that I cannot add this to the meeting notes as Roz and Michael were not present. It may be that they would like to raise these points at the next meeting. 1. Neither of us can remember saying we wanted to be at a meeting regarding the name. in fact we won’t be taking any part in the discussion or decision. We have explained our feelings, realise the majority are not in agreement with us so will step back. So please feel free to discuss and decide without us. Remember we can simply choose to not use the name if we don’t like it the format, there is a street address. And Catherine attributed the comment to ‘roz’, this was incorrect as we both feel the same. Roz writes (emails) but usually there is discussion with michael before I do so. 2. Re rentals. It was discussed at a meeting about a year ago that there should be a list of rentals available and people interested in renting. A lot of cohousing websites do have this. We are disappointed this has not happened but plan to use a property manager anyway so they can find a tenant. Having someone interested enough in cohousing to have read the website might have been a help but is not too great a problem. Hope everyone enjoying the weather, the water trucks are doing a brisk trade out here!

Re: [Ucol-shareholders] FW: colour Pueblo in the exchange

I've had a thought Can we have the High Street Block one colour, and the Alva St Block the other colour? Took a look at the Architectural drawings, and it looks like Montpelier is just Grey and White, so they may not have an option about colours.

The front doors of the houses with street frontages are vivid and energetic in colour. I think Pueblo is a vibrant colour which would look great on the building and compliment the doors.

Fwd: Co Housing High St Interior Top Coats to Unit Types
by Rainer Beneke 28 May '20

28 May '20

Hi All below the quote from Wrens for painting the inside. Its split into trim (incl doors) and walls for each unit. I spoke with Tyler today. Wrens would deal with and invoice each unit holder separately (no nightmare spreadsheet!!!). The quote is for each unit holder choosing 2 to 3 colours. Unit D1 and D2 are probably ready to paint soon… (D1 might be the same as D6, as the configuration has changed to 2 bedroom). We will still need to confirm with S&W that we can do these individual painting contracts outside our build contract. It was discussed at our last site meeting, and S&W was very clear that they didn’t want any other painters on site while they are still building. In other words, If you want to paint yourself or want someone else to paint, you will have to wait till S&W finishes their building contract. Most likely we will have a few weeks between S&W finishing and the settlement for our units. see you tonight Rainer Please call me if you need an urgent reply.
