Site meeting
by Rainer Beneke 05 Feb '21

05 Feb '21

Hi all Work is progressing, the paths on the upper level are almost all done and they are finishing the levels on the lawn area. The common house including M3 are the places were most of the work is happening. Of cause we couldn’t get any commitments from S&W, however it seems that they will need extra time till the end of this month. So probably 1 week more than we are hoping for. We may be able to get our curtain and wardrobe people in once S&W have received Tim’s defects report. Regards Rainer Please call me if you need an urgent reply. Rainer Beneke +64 21 144 7700

At least one of our members has been waiting all week for her solicitor to receive and review the documents so that she can apply to Kiwisaver to use the money she has saved toward her unit. She needs to apply to Kiwisaver by 4 weeks before settlement which we hope is 5 March - 4 weeks tomorrow. Also her mortgage broker is unable to start approaching possible lenders until these documents have been received. Please attend to this urgently and let us know when it has been done. Thank you, Anne Thomson On Tue, 2 Feb 2021, 11:51 am Simon Milne, <simon(a)mcmillanco.nz> wrote: Hi Anne, Thank you for your emails below.

In particular, referring people to their right to go to the Tenancy Tribunal. Have you had a chance to look at this? Dispute Resolution and Mediation NOTE – This section awaiting advice from our lawyer Disputes vary in scale and may affect a few or many members of the Group. For this reason, different strategies for dispute resolution will be employed as appropriate. For example, disputes may remain between two residents, or, if they affect the entire Group, they may appropriately be resolved via the Group Decision-Making Process. If there is a dispute between owners and/or residents, the parties should first meet face to face to discuss the issue. The parties may seek assistance from a member of the Conciliators Team. If the dispute is still not resolved, the parties are obliged to appoint and consult a professional mediator and go through the recommended mediation process before seeking legal action. Any cost of mediation is to be shared pro-rata between the parties. Many thanks, Anne Thomson On Mon, Feb 1, 2021 at 1:59 PM High Street Cohousing <ucoldunedin(a)gmail.com> wrote: Hi Simon I trust the Body Corporate rules and unit title plan along with notification of there being no covenant on the title has now been sent to all purchasers' solicitors. You were going to give us some wording that could be included in Further Terms of Sale in future Sale&Purchase agreements so that future purchasers would commit to being part of a cohousing neighbourhood. We see that being included in our Toiora High Street Cohousing Membership Agreement, which we are working on now. Thank you for your time and your advice last week - it was very helpful. Ann

Budget Control Meeting Summary
by High St Cohousing 03 Feb '21

03 Feb '21

Hi all, We had a budget control meeting yesterday to go through our budget and contingency and for planning ways to spend the remaining of our contingency (if any). The conclusion of our meeting was that at this stage* we don't have all the information needed to provide a clear figure.* But we can provide the following summary and recommendations: *SW CLAIMS & INVOICES * - We have just approved CLAIM 28 - SW Invoice for around 266K which includes around 82K from variation (mainly site works). - We are expecting to receive the last claim next month which will be for an amount closer to 350 + 20K of variations approved/expected. - We are in the process of approving payments for consultants for around 25K . - As today, we have received final invoices from Surveyors, Archeologists, etc. and are still expecting final invoices from other consultants (Eng, Arch, Project Manager, QS, Lawyers, etc.). *OVERALL BUDGET* *& TIMELINE* On our overall budget, there are a few areas that are unknown and hard to estimate: e.g. lawyers final invoice (for unit title and settlement), Interest amount to pay for our kiwibank loan, insurance, DCC final invoice for inspections & CCC, consultants final invoices, etc. In addition we are expecting funds to be introduced from the sale of the DCC unit. We feel that the variables are too great to try to estimate how much money will remain after settlement. *The exact amount remaining will not be known until settlement.* The contract with SW will finish in a few weeks but the company can still operate for a few weeks/months. So there is no rush... *RECOMMENDATIONS* We feel that the best idea is to finalise SW contract, receive and pay their final invoice due in March, receive and pay all consultants final invoices (March/April), go through the units settlement process, pay back the kiwibank loan and receive funds from the DCC unit. Once all that is done, we will have a clear amount in front of us to work with and we can then decide how to spend it over the coming months. Once all money is gone, we'll close the company and UCOL will be history (ideally: no profit & no loss). We'll then operate under our body corp structure. Sounds simple but we still need to go through it... *POST SETTLEMENT THINGS TO DO - WORKING BEES * We have also made a list of things that we need to do post settlement. This could easily add up to 100K (we have estimated materials only) Here is the list (order is not showing priority as we need to discuss this with the group): - Bikeshed (around 30m2) - Pergolas for 9 units (A units and H units) - Cover canopy for 6 units (D units) - Letterboxes - Patio fences (between units) - Install range hood to common kitchen - kitchen final fit out - dining room furniture - Sauna/Spa fence - Veggie garden fence - Landscape (?) planters/benches... Please note that we have allowed for some money for the kitchen in our original budget, this is something we can discuss tonight. Specifically we would want to go ahead with the installation of the Rangehood which is important to do before final inspection. The rest could come after... See you all tonight.
