RESIDENT REGISTRATION
A recent audit shows that there are 225 units that have residents with expired
ID cards. Having a valid Watergate ID is a requirement of the community for
all residents. As the Association moves toward keyless entry in the future, your
“key” will most likely be linked to your valid Watergate ID card, so now is a
great time to get into the habit of maintaining a current registration.
Residents can register in the WCA Office Monday through Friday between 8:30
a.m. and 5:30 p.m.
Owners register with the office every five years. Tenants register at the office
every year.
BE SURE TO VOTE - PROPOSED NEW EMERYVILLE PARCEL TAX
Watergate homeowners recently received ballots and voting instructions
regarding Emeryville City Council’s proposed new Landscape and Lighting
Assessment parcel tax. The goal of this proposed parcel tax is to raise
approximately $1.2 million annually for the City of Emeryville’s general
operating fund.
If the property owners in Emeryville vote for this tax assessment, property taxes
will increase close to $10.00 per month, or approximately $120.00 per year.
Ballots must be returned prior to the conclusion of the Public Hearing on May
18, 2010. If you did not receive your Official Assessment Ballot from the City
of Emeryville, contact the City Clerk, City of Emeryville at 1333 Park Avenue,
Emeryville, CA 94608.
Have you checked out the WCA website lately? Recent additions to the site
include unit floor plans, renovations updates, and up-to-date photos of your
beautiful Watergate community! Unit modification information, a current
sample certificate of liability insurance, and all our most requested forms are

watergatecommunityassociation.com. While visiting our website, take the
opportunity to stay informed and sign up for WCA E-News notices today!

POWELL STREET SIDEWALK AND SHUTTLE STOP SURVEY
The City of Emeryville may consider constructing a new sidewalk on the northern side of Powell
Street between the Watergate Market and Admiral Drive. This would improve pedestrian access
and safety as well as provide for the placement of an Emery Go Round bus stop adjacent to the
Watergate condominiums. Construction of the new sidewalk would be part of the next Capital
Improvement Program which will be approved by the Emeryville City Council later this summer.
Please let us know what you think! Submit your survey response directly to the City of Emeryville
at http://survey.constantcontact.com/survey/a07e2uqgcb5g8217i83/start,
or complete the survey below and deliver your response to the WCA Office or the Clipper Club
before June 1, 2010.
Thank you in advance for your participation.

CAUTION ABOUT AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM
As the electrical outlets in our buildings get used often
over the years, the metal parts inside start to open up, and
get looser, sometimes so loose the plugs we put into them
will not even hold, or are very sloppy and easy to knock
out of the outlet.
As the outlets wear out the electricity sometimes has to
pass to and from the plug prongs by a process called
arcing. Normally, the current flows easily from outlet to
plug by metal to metal contact, but in a loose plug, the
electricity starts to jump a tiny distance through the air by
arcing or sparking across the loose connection. This slows
the current, and generates heat, as well as carrying some
metal across the gap, further damaging the outlet. Since
the outlet is usually in a metal box, there is almost no risk
of fire, unless a great deal of dust collects in the box.
Even then the small fire would probably burn itself out
inside the box, but it can damage sensitive electrical
equipment, can cause failure to other outlets past the weak
one, and very, very rarely can be a fire hazard. Consider
replacing loose outlets to take care of this aging process.

I.
Call to Order. President Robert C. Blain called the meeting to order at 7:02 p.m. Directors present were,
Judith Choate, Jean Goldman, Murray Kane, Tom Knight and Neil Straus. Mike Cartmell was absent. Also
present were General Manager Tim Sutherland, Controller Lisa Trabert, Assistant General Manager Jeff Kiel
and six residents.
II.
Approval of Minutes. Straus moved, and Kane seconded, to approve the February 22, 2010 Regular
Session minutes. The motion to approve was unanimous.
III.
Reports.
Secretary’s Report. Secretary Straus reported that the board met with the finance committee and staff
prior to the board meeting to review the operating budget request for 2010 -2011.
Treasurer’s Report. Treasurer Kane reported a favorable operating budget variance of $177,018 through
2/28/2010. Kane also reported an operating fund balance of $202,695 and a replacement fund balance of
$4,021,689. The full report is available at the WCA office and website.
Manager’s Report. General Manager Sutherland reported the following common utilities usage results
for February 2010: Water use averaged 89 gallons per unit per day; natural gas decreased 13.4% from
February 2009 levels (due to the Clipper Club pool being closed 15 days for repairs); and electric use was
up 1.4% from February 2009 levels. Sutherland also reminded everyone that increased levels of parking
and patio violations are ongoing.
IV.
Old Business. None.
V.
New Business. The following items were presented for board review and consideration:
Board Resolution to Record Three (3) Notices of Delinquent Assessments. Secretary Straus read the
following resolution:
“Resolved, the Board of Directors (“Board”) for Watergate Community Association authorizes and
instructs Allied Trustee Services to Record Three (3) Notices of Delinquent Assessments in the full
amount of unpaid assessments, late charges, interest and collection fees and costs against the
properties bearing Assessors Parcel Numbers #049-1528-560, #049-1529-133, #049-1529-178 as
authorized by Civil Code Sections 1367.1 and 1367.4 if such accounts have not been reinstated by
the Notice of Intent to Lien expiration date.” Straus moved, and Kane seconded, to approve the
aforementioned Notices of Delinquent Assessments. The motion to approve was unanimous.
Property Insurance Renewal. Renewal of Property Insurance with CIBA for an annual premium
$249,741. Blanket coverage is $500,000,000 with a $10,000 deductible per occurrence. Straus moved,
and Kane seconded, to approve the CIBA renewal as quoted for the period March 31, 2010 through
March 31, 2011. The motion to approve was unanimous.
General, Auto and Umbrella Liability Insurance Renewal. Renewal of the Association’s general,
umbrella and auto liability insurance for the period 3/31/10 through 3/31/11. Straus moved, and Kane
seconded, to approve the following: general liability renewal quote from Allied Group for $63,320;
the auto renewal quote from Allied Group for $1974; and the umbrella liability renewal quote from
Great American Insurance for $22,835. The motion to approve was unanimous.
Earthquake Insurance. Two earthquake quotes were presented for $$10,000,000 in coverage with a
10% deductible per building. The annual premium for such limited coverage would be $594,188
resulting in a 10.6% dues increase. The board discussed the matter and determined that best approach is
to continue to self fund (insure) through the replacement fund. Straus moved, and Kane seconded, to
continue to self-insure for earthquake damage. The motion to not approve earthquake insurance
was unanimous.
Cable Television Consulting Services. Proposal is to hire Dave Springer with AbbaCom to assist staff
with Cable television wiring issued and to prepare for contract negotiations with Comcast. Staff worked
with Mr. Springer in 2002 when his firm successfully upgraded our cable system.
4
Straus moved, and Kane seconded to authorize Dave Springer with AbbaCom to work on the
Association’s behalf relating to cable television issues in an amount not to exceed $5,100. The
motion to approve was unanimous.
Finance Committee Member Application. Owner Liz Altieri submitted an application to join the
finance committee for the remainder of 2010. Straus moved, and Kane seconded, to appoint Elizabeth
Altieri to the finance committee for the remainder of 2010. The motion to approve was unanimous.
VI.
WCA Committees.
Architectural Control Committee. There were two unit modifications for March 2010:
B223 - Work includes completing the unfinished renovations started by the previous owner including
removal of wing walls, closet wall and the addition of a pass through kitchen window. Structural
engineer’s report received for all wall removals with shear walls indicated in all cases. Straus moved,
and Kane seconded, to approve the modifications to unit B223 pending receipt of all necessary
building permits. The motion to approve was unanimous.
B257 - Work includes removal of acoustical ceiling material and replacement of bathtub with dry rot
repairs to be made if found. The owner may decide to install a shower instead if a similarly sized
replacement tub cannot be found. Straus moved, and Kane seconded, to approve the
modifications to unit B257 pending receipt of all building permits and a BAAQMD job number.
The motion to approve was unanimous.
Landscape Committee. Sue Kelly reported the recommendation that a leaning black acacia tree # 618 be
removed. Straus moved, and Kane seconded, to authorize the removal tree (#618) located in the
south side of the 3 Admiral lobby. The motion to approve was unanimous.
Common Area Renovations and Signs. Co-Chair Jean Goldman presented the CARS project decision
timeline: May 2010 - The CARS committee will narrow down the various design options to at least two
choices. The committee will vote to determine which two designs will be recommended to the board;

mock-ups to be installed on the 2nd and 3rd floors of 8 Captain Drive; July 2010 - Staff will present a

MOVE-IN / MOVE-OUT PROCEDURES
Responsibility for a move and any damage to the
building or common area rests with the homeowner and
tenant. Arrangements for move-in or move-out must be
scheduled at least 24-hours in advance with the
Watergate Community Association (WCA) office at 8
Captain Drive. If the WCA office is closed, WCA
Security at 4 Commodore Drive must be notified.
All new residents are charged a non-refundable
processing fee of $150.00 which covers certain
administrative costs as well as the cost of moving in and
moving out. This processing fee also applies to residents
who relocate within WCA. Tenants are charged an
additional fee of $30.00 for their WCA ID card, $25.00
of which is refundable upon return of their I.D. card to
the WCA office when they move out.
A $400.00 refundable security deposit for elevator pads,
in the form of a personal check, must be left in the
Security Department to cover the loss of the pads or
damage to the common area.
Move-ins / move-outs are permitted every day from 9:00
a.m. to 9:00 p.m.
Care should be exercised not to damage the elevators or
common area during moves. This includes the following:
• Elevator pads are to be in place.
• Caution should be used when loading elevators so that
they do not exceed 1,500 pounds. Overloading will
cause the elevator to malfunction. The cost of any
subsequent service calls will be the responsibility of the
homeowner and the tenant.
8
• Lobby front door is to be protected by the movers.
• Unit door exterior is to be protected by the movers.
Boxes, bicycles, strollers, etc. are not to be placed in the
lobbies or hallways in such a way that they block
mailboxes or doorways or create a nuisance during the
move.
All hallways and doorways must remain
wheelchair accessible.
At the end of each day and at the end of the move, all
areas, including hallways, lobbies, and elevators must be
cleared of all debris. Packing materials and containers
must not be disposed of in the garbage chutes. All
cartons must be flattened and placed in the recycling
bins located in each garage.
Owners are to obtain all keys directly from the seller or
agent. Tenants are to obtain all keys directly from
