Thursday, April 22, 2010
John Lennon, Chair of the Building Committee reported that:
a) Working to secure construction and permanent financing
b) Parking issues that arose have been resolved
c) He was meeting with Clancy and Theys on April 23, 2010, to finalize design engineering issues
d) Building Committee would meet again to finalize outside design elements
e) President Martin will send an email to the membership stating that the price per square foot for tenants is $15.50 + annual CAM of $3.50 for a five year term and that a 3% commission would be paid on the gross lease to the tenant representative with ½ paid at time of tenant contract and the remaining ½ at tenant occupancy; the email would also specify that a deadline for an RFP for firms to submit both a listing agreement to lease the new facility and a listing agreement for the sale of the existing building be submitted no later the 5 PM on April 30 to the CEO. Under the leasing agreement and listing agreement there will be no leasing or listing commission paid to the successful RFP firm since a firm has already agreed to lease and list at no commission.
f) Jerry Panz is meeting with Chuck Earney and Lonnie Williams to develop a plan on forming a business entity to manage the construction of the building and the condominium association. It was moved, seconded and carried to authorize the officers of the corporations to pay all bills necessary to create this entity and authorization to sign all necessary documents.
g) It was moved, seconded and carried to authorize payment for an appraisal on the building located at 1444 S. 17th Street with the appraisal being ordered by a financial institution and the appraisal being assignable not to exceed $5,000.
h) It was moved, seconded and carried to authorize payment for permits and water-sewer connections up to $46,000 conditional upon the Board’s approval of a financial institution’s proposal to finance the building. NOTE: The price will be less if the size of the water/sewer connection is reduced.
Chuck Earney presented the audit to the boards stating that the audit was unqualified and the corporations were in excellent financial health. He commended Jo Anna Edwards and Jerry Panz for the manner in which they approach the financial management of the corporations.
The Board also approved spending up to $650 to recombine 1826 and 1834 Sir Tyler Drive as required by New Hanover County.

After receiving a report on the bids, the Building Committee's recommendation and the CPA's comments about the contractors, the Board of Directors felt most confident that the best general contractor for this project is Clancy & Theys Construction Company and voted to hire them. Clancy & Theys is also the lowest bid out of the nine received.
- Clancy & Theys Testimonial: "I worked as an accountant for Clancy & Theys Construction Company from 1992-1993. My personal experience with the company showed me that they were a solid company with good morals. I enjoyed each and every person there. The company showed that they wanted their employees not only to do an excellent job, but also that they cared about each employee as a person and wanted to recognize them whenever a proper time arose. I have never heard anything negative about the company. Only one time in my association with the company was its integrity every questioned. Within weeks, it was quickly disproven. If I had the opportunity to work with Clancy and Theys again, I would seriously consider the opportunity." - Michelle Depland Carpenter, Sea Gate Realty
