Dear Flamingo Board,

Thanks for everything that you are accomplishing at The Flamingo. I know it's a big job, and often unappreciated. Your accomplishments in such a short period of time are fantastic. I was not surprised that AIMCO was forced to drop their monthly fees although great job in getting them to write us a reimbursement check!

Also to hear that the South Pool heater is finally repaired. Now we can actually use the pool.

The Lobby is coming together too. Looks great!

Unfortunately the Resort Pass situation has continued to give me headaches. I will site 3 current situations that must be affecting everyone. My son and his in laws are at The Flamingo now. They had to take my resort card since they were arriving in the evening and had no way to get a Resort Card upon arrival. A problem that needs correcting ASAP.

My 70+ year old Aunt and Uncle were there last week and were stressed going back and forth between the Center and South Tower office trying to get a Visitors Pass purchased and activated correctly, even though I went to extra lengths ahead of time to make sure they would not have problems.

I have another guest arriving in the evening next week. I cannot get them my resort card as I will be using it up til a couple days before. They will tehrefore arrive in the evening with no Resort Card. Hopefully we can come up with a temporary solution to this problem as we evaluate installing a resort pass system in the South Tower.

Also, when I am at the Flamingo and have my family come down to visit me, it is not practical for them to use my pass as I need it, nor is it reasonable for each of them to be required to pay $25 to get a Resort Card every time they visit.

The only suggestion I have currently is to issue a controlled number of GUEST PASSES to persons who are current in their Association fees and have not violated the short term rental rules.

When I purchased my unit, I was promised and given two guest cards for my two bedroom condo. My understanding is that Aimco took these away. Is this legal?

The Guest Pass elimination has not solved the short term rental problem but has made life very difficult for those of us who invested in the property with the intention of allowing our families to enjoy it with us.

I think that owners who are following the rules are being unfairly penalized because of those that break the rules, especially where the Resort Passes are concerned. Hopefully we can discuss this further.

Also, just to keep you updated on Direct TV in the building. We continuously have problems with it. Currently it is completely out in my unit 1122 and the company they use to work the wiring in our building cannot come out until next week Tuesday. That is crazy. My son is therefore required to be there his entire week stay with no TV. Also, I have Atlantic Broadband Internet which uses the same lines as Direct TV. The Internet is also out, making life impossible for my sons work.
Are others experiencing this problem with Direct TV?

Thats my positive and negatives for now.

Thanks Again!!
