Gate Issues

As we all know, our gate has not been working for some time. Michelle has had contact with Shauna Melvin regarding the issue, and I wanted to pass the information along.

Regarding the phone bill, roughly $175-200 is past due. The normal monthly cost for the gate phone is about the same as a regular residential land-line. Shauna said that she will check with Jim Selden to see if there is any money available to go toward the phone bill.

Shauna indicated that there is no money available to go toward gate repairs. Sutherland Security maintains our gate, and Michelle will contact them to see how much the repairs will be.

The following information comes from an email sent to me from Jim Ehnborn:

The phone bill should be filed with the bankruptcy court. We should only be responsible for costs in 2010. We may have to put down a security deposit.

Gate repair costs should be filed with the bankruptcy court. We should only be responsible for costs in 2010. We may be responsible for a security deposit on this as well.

Jim Selden has a new computer board for the south gate that is paid for. If the computer board is the problem for the north gate, we might be able to use it for the north gate by borrowing parts. We should just have to cover the cost of labor to repair the gate.

Which brings up the issue of money. How are we going to pay for this to get our gate up and running ASAP?
