Fire

In 2004, Kenthill Townhomes experienced a fire in one of its buildings. The fire cost the Association approximately $14,000 (see post dated Sunday, August 27, 2006). At the 2007 Annual Meeting, it was reported that the 2006 Dryer Vent/Chimney Cleaning Project was all in all a failure, with the majority of applicable homeowners choosing not to participate. Since this topic is considered a critical safety issue, and since historically it has been the case that most applicable homeowners choose not to participate, thus affecting the safety of both people and property, a new approach will be enacted the next time cleanings are attempted. At the 2007 Annual Meeting, it was announced that the Board will simply solicit competitive bids for the project, choose a contractor, and let them handle the entire job (from start to finish). The necessary funding to accomplish this, although very expensive, will be built in to the budget.
