Revenue/Laundry for April will be reflected in May due to timing of the deposit. The cost for window washing was budgeted in April under Hskping/Purchased Services and will be reflected in May. PO/Caretaker Allowance does not reflect a deposit and will be adjusted in May. PO/Trash Removal reflects accrual accounting adjustment from March. GA/Printing Communications reflect the purchase of Business Cards for Manager and photocopying additional information packets. The variance reflected in GA/Supplies is the cost of two toner cartridges purchased for the Laser jet Priater. We were able to purchase a recycled cartridge for half the price of a new one. We have returned the higher costing cartridge for credit which will be used to purchase other office supplies over the year. We anticipate this line adjusting over time. Monthly Occupancy Report for APRIL (see attached). 92 units leased, 7 units reserved. We anticipate 100% Occupancy by the end of July. APRIL Housing Report: includes APRIL Resident Newsletter Pie -it Operations: UPDATE: The problem with the smell in rpartment 125 has been resolved. The apartment was baked and aired out and the carpet steam cleaned. The resident is no longer experiencing asy problems. We feel she was ultra -sensitive to the new construction materials in her apartment this! can shed or give off fumes while it settles. UPDATE: Water running off the roof is seeping into the basement. The landscaper has re - sculptured the grading and the contractor has added additional water -proofing to the problem areas. Problem with exterior lighting of the building. See attached letter to the General Contractor. Resp-- i Services: Resident issues and services are addressed in more detail in the Monthly Housing Report. The following are highlights of the report. The Resident Council hosted a "Kitchen Shower" for the Party Room. The building received a piano from the Plymouth Senior Club and Plymouth Rockers. We are planning a Grief, Separation, and Loss Discussion in response to two residents passing away and their spouses moving out and being placed in a Nursing Home.

Wouldn't it be fine and dandy, If each handclasp was warm and true, arried with it this assurance, Iknow something good about you?" Wouldn't life be lots more happy, If we praised the good we see?

This action hinders anyone who might be hiding around the corner of the building from running into the garage when the door is open and damaging or stealing from the cars in the garage. The building's cleaning staff have found, on numerous occasions, sunflower shells in the hallways and stairwells. We ask those residents and guests who have a craving for sunflower seeds to constrain themselves from spitting out the shells within the building. PTS is your home and we suspect that you wouldn't spit out the seeds on your living room floor. The same request applies to cigarette butts, matches and garbage. Please dispose of them properly. Remember that all residents are responsible for their guest's behavior. Please do not leave children unsupervised in the common areas. If they are using any type of equipment provided for residents, make sure they have been instructed on how to use it properly and safely. Also, please ask them not to run in the hallways. Thanks! Just a reminder that the maintenance staff will replace burnt out lightbulbs, however, residents need to supply the replacement bulbs. If you need help, fill out a Maintenance Work Request located on the Community Bulletin Board. If you do not want to purchase cable, you can hook into PTS's master antenna using - the cable jack and wire. You will receive excellent reception of the local TV channels.

The City of Plymouth is planning on holding an Open House for the public in the latter part of May. This will be discussed in more detail at the April Resident Meeting as the date and plans will be more formalized by then. 4 Several residents have asked, "Is there a resident in the building who would like to provide sewing services such as alterations or mending?" If you this is something you would like to do, feel free to either let someone in the office know or post a card on the Community Bulletin Board. In the garage and certain storage areas, water has been discovered seeping into the building. The contractor and architect were out to look at the problem and determined it is caused. by water from the roof falling to the ground and due to the run-off direction is pooling near the foundation wall. We will be investigating several options to correct the problem. In the meantime, storage units with a cement block wall have a higher ri* for leaking. We suggest you check your storage unit for water and let the office know immediately if it is present. If you have any questions or concerns, please see Sarah or Don. Baker's Square and Kim Schnacky, our caretaker, are participating in the "March of Dime's WalkAmerica for the road to healthier babies".

W PLYMOUTH May 23,1995 TOWNE SQUARE Gerry Rothmeyer Frana & Sons, Inc. 7500 Flying Cloud Drive #753 Eden Prairie, MN 35344 RE: PTS EXTERIOR LIGHTING Dear Gerry, As we discussed in our recent phone conversation, 18 of 22 exterior lights surrounding Plymouth Towne Square have burnt out in a relatively short time period since the building opened in October. These fixtures light the garage doors, porch, front sidewalk and around the porte cochere. The bulbs began burning out in March and were all burnt out by mid April. The bulbs are rated for 30,000 hours (approx. 5 years) and the equipment should be repaired and/or replaced under warranty. We have been working on this problem for over two months, a majority of that time directly with Electric Service and Viking Electric. They state that no action can be taken until they determine why the lamps burnt out (i.e. defective lamp or ballast). In early May, an electrician, a lamp rep and a fixture rep were at PTS and attempted to locate the problem with no success. At the same time, Viking Electric supplied six replacement bulbs to tight high traffic areas (5 of 6 worked). In a recent conversation with Bill Wicker from Viking Electric, he stated that an electrician needs to return to the building to re -inspect the fixtures. He said that regardless of the problem, the manufacturers will stand behind their products and cover the coat of repair/replacement. Neither company, Electric Service or Viking Electric, has handled din prublem in a timely manner. It has reached the point where I need to ask that you, as General Contractor, to speak to Andy at Electric Service and Bill at Viking Electric on our behalf. I feel it is reasonable to request that this situation be rectified by June 9. If you have any questions regarding this, I would be happy to discuss them with you. In addition, I would greatly appreciate a call at 550.9523 to let me know how you plan on handling the situation. Sincerely, , Sarah K Miller Housing Manager CC.
