Important Notice to Owners
RE: Insurance renewal
Dear Owners at 2001 Bering Drive
A one time additional monthly fee of $185.00 per household will be due by April 15th so that the association can pay for the renewal down payment on the insurance. The total for the renewal of all policies will be based on an estimated renewal fee of $20,720. This represents an earned premium of 35% of the policy, as was discussed at the annual meeting; the previous insurance would have had to pay an escalated 85% earned premium plus a 30% increase in the policy fee. Our insurance advisors were able to get better coverage at less the rate for 2011 and will do the best possible for 2012.
In 2011 it was necessary for the association to spend much more than was originally budgeted
on foundation work throughout the property, due to the drought; this has strained our
resources since we are also paying off the construction loans for the renovation. 2012 has
already started out with enough rain to cure the drought issues with the ground for this year so
it should not present an issue next year.
The Board did not want to ask for an increase in the monthly fees but they are forced to ask for
this one time additional fee from each owner to secure insurance for this year. We are still
shopping the insurance for the best possible coverage but it could be slightly higher since there
were hurricanes after we got the insurance last year. In any case it is not expected it exceed
$20,720.00 anything less will go into the reserves.
2001 Bering is looking good, the loans are being paid down and once they are paid off we will
be able to build our reserves up quickly. Once we have replenished our reserves, we will look at
the possibility of actually lowering the maintenance fees.
Please send a check made payable to 2001 Bering Drive Homeowners Association, Inc. to:
Prestige Property Management L.L.C.
1219 Durham Drive
Houston, TX 77007
THIS PAYMENT IS DUE: APRIL 15TH.
Your cooperation is greatly appreciated in this matter.

Rationale for Moderated Posts for 2001 Bering Drive Condo Blog
The blog has become moderated because freely posted comments by some anonymous individuals were becoming increasingly malicious. We do not want to willingly allow the reputation of anyone on the board or its business associates to be publicly maligned. The blog for all intensive purposes is a virtual bulletin board and viewable by anyone. While I am not an attorney, I would prefer to err on the cautious side and assume that a defamation of character suit could be possible if we (all posting comments to this blog) are not careful.
Please note: Posts may still occur to the blog and are welcomed. Those that are appropriate will be published and forwarded to our property management company, Prestige Property Management. Thanks.

By Laws Sent to List-serv 3/6/2011
Per your concerns about obtaining a copy of the by-laws, owners are supposed to give the by-laws to their tenants. KRJ Management is supposed to provide a copy of the by-laws to a NEW condo owner. The first copy comes with the resale certificate required at purchase which includes all the documents of the association. That cost is $100.00. An additional copy, beyond your initial copy is $0.15 per page and can be requested at the KRJ Management office on Augusta.
We have decided as your elected board NOT to post the by-laws to the blog, but instead, send a copy out to the listserv. Currently, the blog is open to the public and everyone can view its content. We were advised that sending the by-laws to the list-serv is in the best interests of all owners. If you are an owner, and you are not on the listserv, please let us know by contacting me (see email address on profile page...just click my name).
Thanks Keleigh F. for your gentle reminder! We really appreciate you :o)
