Venetia Online

On January 30, 2008 the Venetia Condominium Board met for a variety of reasons (full video coming soon) and in order to provide individuals with the insight provided by Board candidates, watch this portion of our meeting.

Part 4 of 4 of the 1-30-2008 meeting.

The following is a message from Stacey Stokes, Vice President, Venetia Condo Association Board of Directors regarding the upcoming vote and bylaw changes.

Dear Venetia Owners:

I have prepared these amendments with the help of our attorneys at Becker & Poliakoff to start correcting conflicts and ambiguities in our documents. Some of them will not affect residents today, but will give us a stronger association over the coming years. We cannot make these changes without getting votes and proxies from at least two-thirds of the unit owners, so please don’t put it aside. I’ve worked very hard to make these changes possible and I’m asking you to please, please cast your votes and send in the proxies. Read more…

Office space in Miami isn’t hard to find - it’s just hard to find a location that is desirable, accessible, conducive to business and best of all - has an incredible location. Hip and trendy business people are utilizing virtual offices and shared office space as a way to reduce their overhead in today’s economy. Renting a complete office makes no sense when it’s just you - and additional services you need are only a few feet away. Read more…

Solar panels are seeming to pop up everywhere. As the photo shows, there is a solar panel installation right on our block down the street on the corner. For those who have noticed, you also probably remember they used to have a few different types of solar panels on their roof - no more than 5 - now, they have covered the entire roof (and it seems 2 of their panels are already broken, or at least appear that way).

Not too long ago, I read an article about how Fedex was able to have incredible savings with an Oakland California sorting facility solar installation. ‘The 904 kW solar array will provide approximately 80 percent of the peak load demand for the company’s Oakland facility, which employs 1,700 people. The electricity generated by the array will be the equivalent used by more than 900 homes during the daytime.’

People seem to be turning to solar more and more - solar water heaters for pools and even home water are becoming quite popular. I’m very happy to see one of our neighbors taking a step forward in these times when we need to not only conserve energy, but develop and utilize alternative means of power generation.

The cool week may be providing you with a chilly reminder Read more…

Happy New Year to all for the new year - 2008. May 2008 bring you all that you dream of and wish for.
