FIRE ALARM TESTING SCHEDULED FOR MID-OCTOBER
BOARD OF DIRECTORS
PRESIDENT
Robert C. Blain
This year’s annual fire alarm testing (as mandated by the State) is scheduled for
October and will require access into all 4th floor units in the A, B and D
buildings, and all 5th floor units in all buildings. Detailed two week and 48hour reminder notices will be sent to all affected unit owners, tenants, and
known property managers of record.
VICE-PRESIDENT
Tom Knight
Access into these units is required so that the speaker and heat detector inside
of the unit can be verified to be functioning properly.
SECRETARY
Neil Straus
As in previous years, and as per the Board, unit keys stored at the WCA office
will not be used. This means that somebody will have to be present on your
unit’s testing day to open your unit’s door. A locksmith service will be provided
for persons not able to have somebody available to open their unit door.
Homeowners whose units are opened by a locksmith will be billed an amount
equal to the total locksmith bill divided by the number of doors serviced (on that
day) to a maximum of $45.

RESULTS OF DRAMA CLUB MEETING
Advertisement
As announced in the May and June Hatchcovers, a
meeting was held at the Clipper Club on Sunday, June 24,
to decide how to disburse Watergate Drama Club funds.
GARETH M. FONG
The nine former club members who attended voted to pay
Olga Labunsky $300 for her past services as a Drama Club
director, and pay $1886 to Stagebridge, an Oakland
theater group which performs many theater related
activities around the east bay. The payment was made in
honor of Heidi Bernd and Rolf Tutschek.
510-655-8228
One stipulation of this payment is that Stagebridge will
perform many of their activities at various Emeryville
institutions, such as the public schools, Senior Center, and
Watergate. The first of these performances will be a
musical performance of the Stagebridge Dreamers on
Saturday, October 6 at 7:30 pm at the Clipper Club. All

THE BENEFITS OF RECYCLING ADD UP!
Educators have created interesting and innovative
curriculum to teach today’s school-aged children about the
importance of waste prevention and recycling. If you don’t
have a kid handy to remind you about how important it is to
conserve natural resources and extend the life of our
existing landfills by participating in community recycling
programs, then consider the following:
• Using one ton of post-consumer paper to make new
paper products saves approximately 7,000 gallons of water
and conserves 3.3 cubic yards of landfill space.
Advertisement
• It takes 64% less energy to make paper products from
post-consumer paper, saving the equivalent of three
barrels of oil for each ton of paper that is recycled.
• Recycling 300 lbs. of paper saves roughly one tree.
• For every ton of glass that is recycled we eliminate 384
lbs. of mining waste.
• Using post-consumer aluminum cans to make new cans
produces about 95% less air pollution as compared to the
process of manufacturing aluminum cans from virgin
materials.
• Paper recycling reduces pollution by about 50%.
Advertisement
• Recycling a 36-in stack of newspaper saves about 73
kilowatt hours of electricity (about 14% of a typical
residential electric utility bill).
• Recycling one pound of aluminum saves enough energy
to light a 100-watt built for 290 hours.

“DRAFT” WCA BOARD OF DIRECTORS MEETING MINUTES
July 23, 2012
I.
Call to Order. President Robert C. Blain called the meeting to order at 7:00 p.m. Directors present were Ron
Dempster, Doug Flock, Tom Knight and Lubor Mrazek. Albert Repola and Neil Straus were absent. Also
present were General Manager Tim Sutherland, Controller Lisa Trabert, Assistant General Manager Jeff Kiel
and seventeen residents.
II.
Reports/Announcements.
Secretary’s Report. President Blain reported on action taken by the Board of Directors since the June
25, 2012 Regular Session:
After the 6/25/2012 Board meeting the Board reviewed performance and compensation for its direct
reports. Before the meeting tonight, the Board voted to authorize Three Notices of Default and
Election to Sell for APN 049-1528-239, APN 049-1529-068, and APN 049-1528-108. The Board also
discussed and approved a debt collection settlement with a former unit owner.
Treasurer’s Report. General Manager Sutherland reported a favorable operating budget variance of
$250,168 through 6/30/2012. Sutherland also reported an Operating Fund balance of $255,781 and a
Replacement Fund balance of $7,165,414. The full report is available at the WCA office.
Manager’s Report. General Manager Sutherland reported on the following:
Garage Fire Sprinkler Work - The WCA is wrapping up the sprinkler work in the garages and
the lobby asbestos abatement work at the end of this month. The painting department is deferring
other common area painting projects for 65 days to texture coat 13 lobbies where wallpaper was
removed as an interim step to not make it look so apparent that we are renovating the complex.
The ceilings will remain unfinished as lighting and sprinkler penetrations would ruin any interim
steps taken and would be a waste of resources.
Barbecue Use on Patios and Decks - The August 2012 edition of the Hatchcover will
communicate the current State of California Fire Codes regarding barbecue use on patios and
balconies in apartment buildings. Please refer to the attached list of what type of equipment you
can use on your patios. No open flames are allowed within 10 feet of combustible materials, and
the normal 20 pound Liquified-petrolium gas (LP) tanks cannot be brought inside or stored in the
building. One pound LP tanks are permitted to be transported through the building to get to the
patio area.
YTD Common Utilities - Natural gas use down 4.9%; electric use up 1.2%; and water use is up
1.2% to 86 gallons per units per day
Tree Topping - Sutherland also shared a simple pictorial on tree topping verses pruning to better
understand why our staff arborist Robert Murphy declines to perform tree topping trimming for
views.
III.

Board Resolution to Record One Notice of Delinquent Assessment. President Blain read the
following resolution:
“Resolved, the Board of Directors (“Board”) for Watergate Community Association authorizes and
instructs Allied Trustee Services to Record One Notice of Delinquent Assessment (“Lien”) in the
full amount of unpaid assessments, late charges, interest and collection fees and costs against
the property bearing Assessor’s Parcel Number 049-1529-305 as authorized by Civil Code
Sections 1367.1 and 1367.4 if such account has not been reinstated by the Notice of Intent to Lien
expiration date.” Knight moved, and Mrazek seconded, to approve the aforementioned Notice of
Delinquent Assessment. The motion to approve was unanimous.
Anchor Drive Sewer Repair Civil Engineering Consulting. The Association recently completed video
inspection work on Anchor Drive which shows multiple cracks and failures throughout the 38 year old
270 foot clay 8” sanitary sewer line on Anchor Drive. Sutherland presented three bids and recommends
the low bidder KCA Engineers for a contract amount of $16,750 and an overall Phase 1 budget of
$26,738 to be funded out of the Replacement Fund. This budget includes a 15% contingency for
unforeseen issues that may come up during the planning stages of this process. The piping replacement
construction work may end up being a six figure plus replacement project. Knight moved, and Mrazek
seconded, to enter into a contract with KCA Engineers, Inc. for a base contract amount of
$16,750 and an overall Phase 1 project budget of $26,738 to be funded from the Replacement
Fund. The motion to approve was unanimous.
VI.
WCA Committees.
Architectural Control. Assistant General Manager Jeff Kiel presented the following committee
recommendations:
4 Commodore Drive, D332: 1 Bedroom unit. The owners wish to replace their tiled tub surround
with a walk in shower. Knight moved, and Flock seconded, to approve the modifications to unit
D332 pending receipt of all necessary permits. The motion to approve was unanimous.
8 Captain Drive, E462: 1 Bedroom unit. The owners wish to replace their tub and surround and
insulate all walls and ceilings to reduce sound transmissions from other units. Committee does not
recommend insulation in the kitchen and bathroom ceilings due to the possibility pf water retention in
the event of a leak from a unit above. Knight moved, and Flock seconded, to approve the revised
modifications to unit E462 pending receipt of all necessary permits. The motion to approve
was unanimous.
Request to Reconstitute the Emergency Preparedness Committee. Sutherland reports a renewed
interest by some to restart the Emergency Preparedness Committee. Knight moved, and Flock
seconded, to approve the reconstitution of the Emergency Preparedness Committee with Lubor
Mrazek and Neil Straus serving as liaisons to the committee. The motion to approve was
unanimous.

DON’T FLUSH MONEY DOWN THE DRAIN
INTERESTING FACTS ABOUT WATER
When the Association receives a water bill with an
obvious spike in usage in just one building, every attempt
is made to track down the cause of the wasted water.
Very often it can be traced to a running toilet that requires
only a simple repair.
Approximately 70% of the earth’s surface is covered in
water. Of that, only approximately 1% is fresh water we
can use. 97% is salt water, and 2% is frozen in glaciers.
If your toilet makes a continuous hissing sound even after
the water has been refilled in the bowl, it is constantly
leaking water down the drain. When everything is working
correctly, your toilet will be silent when not in use.
Pressing down on the handle and letting go is all that is
needed to complete a flushing cycle – you should not
have to ‘jiggle’ it to make it work.
Fortunately, repairs to the inside of a toilet are easy and
inexpensive. Keeping your toilet and household faucets in
good working order can save the Association and its
members hundreds of dollars in water bills and prevent
the waste of a valuable natural resource.
If you think you hear a neighbor’s toilet running nonstop,
please contact the WCA Office so we can immediately
investigate the source the running water and inform the
unit owner of the problem.
BE PROACTIVE - WATER CONSERVATION TIPS
Check household faucets for leaks. A faucet with even a
slow drip takes 10 to 25 gallons of water. Just think, 15
drips per minute add up to almost 3 gallons of water
wasted per day, 65 gallons wasted per month, and 788
gallons wasted per year!
Keep showers to 5 minutes or less in length. A fiveminute shower takes 10 to 25 gallons of water.
Keep a pitcher of water in the refrigerator. Then you won’t
have to run tap water to cool it.
When using the car rinse area, fill a bucket with clear
water to wash down your car and rinse quickly with the
hose.
Use water only when you need it. Don’t run your
dishwasher until you have a full load. Never leave water
running, and be sure to turn it off when you are finished.

Today we have the same amount of water as when the
earth was formed. Earth will not get any more water.
The average person uses about 168 gallons of water per
day.
In the United States we use approximately 25 trillion
gallons of water a year.
Water makes up 83% of our blood, 70% of our brain, and
90% of our lungs. Overall, our bodies are 70% water.

PARTICIPATE IN PRESERVING, PROTECTING AND
ENHANCING YOUR PROPERTY VALUES
One of the biggest advantages of living in a commoninterest development is the ability of the Association to
preserve, protect and enhance property values. But, just
how does the Board of Directors guide the Association to
perform those duties?
Often residents think of the Association as a collection of
Rules and Regulations limiting personal freedoms and
individuality. But, it is those same Rules and Regulations
that protect, preserve and enhance the investment of each
Watergate homeowner. If you dust off your copy of the
CC&Rs (Covenants, Conditions & Restrictions) and reread
them, you will see that the Board of Directors have a pretty
precise blueprint on how to protect your investment.
First and foremost, your Association is not just made
up of the Board, Committees and a few interested
owners. It was established as a corporation in which
ALL owners are members. What that means is that as
an owner, you have committed yourself to become
business partners with every other owner in the
community. In order to achieve the primary goal of the
Association (to preserve, protect and enhance
property values) certain covenants, conditions and
restrictions had to be established. In those CC&Rs, the
Board is given the authority to establish Rules and
Regulations that complement the Association's
purpose. By following the CC&Rs and the Rules and
Regulations, homeowners are doing part of their duty
as members of the Association.
Architectural controls, guidelines and procedures for
gaining architectural approval were established in
order to promote aesthetic conformity and eliminate
architectural changes that threaten the investment
other members have in the Association. By following
the architectural guidelines and obtaining approval
from the Association before any architectural changes
are made, homeowners are doing part of their duty as
members of the Association.
The Board of Directors is given the charge of
overseeing the operations of the Association and to
see to it that the CC&Rs and Rules and Regulations
are followed by the Association's members. The Board
is made up of owners, other members just like you.
They volunteer their time and energy to serve the
Association because they care about the investment
they have in it. Committees are formed to assist the
Board with their charge. These committees are made
up of volunteer owners, just like you. When a
homeowner volunteers to serve on the Board of
Directors, or volunteers to serve on a committee, they
are doing part of their duty as a member of the
Association.
Monthly assessments are necessary to protect and
maintain our community assets and to help provide
professional management to assist our community.
When owners fail to pay their assessment on time, the
Association is could potentially be unable to meet all of
its financial obligations. The result: The degree of
property value protection the Association provides could
be reduced. In other words, even one owner who does
not pay their assessment on time can adversely effect
how Association business is conducted. When owners
pay their assessment on time, they are doing part of
their duty as a member of the Association.
Finally, the Board of Directors meet on a regular basis in
order to make decisions, keep up-to-date on Association
business and to hear from other owners in order to
make proactive business decisions. As owners, keeping
abreast of association matters and making positive
contributions whenever possible is only good business.
When you choose to attend the Board meetings,
participate in the Annual Meeting or vote in person or by
proxy during Board elections, you are doing part of your
duty as an appreciated member of the Watergate
Community Association.

EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS COMMITTEE
Message from Watergate Resident Lorie Hill
Let's all hope no emergencies come our way, and that's certainly my
hope. At the same time let's be prepared in case an emergency lands
here.
On Wednesday evening, July 11th, a group of about 25 residents met at
the Clipper Club to talk about how to prepare for an emergency. Two
board members came which was helpful, as they filled us in on the process
for taking action at Watergate. Tim Sutherland, the General Manager, met
with me and gave great guidance on how to avoid mistakes encountered
by past committee efforts and suggested positive ways to move forward in
reestablishing this committee.
The Watergate Board at its meeting on July 23rd acknowledged the
interest and approved the reconstitution of an Emergency Preparedness
Committee. Lubor Mrazek and Neil Straus agreed to serve as board
liaisons to the committee.
To start, we all need to better get to know our neighbors. The more we get
to know our neighbors, the better we'll be able to face whatever comes our
way .. so let's have fun and move forward! -Lorie Hill
More information about this committee will be provided in future issues of
the Hatchcover, posted on the website, and announced through lobby and
bulletin board postings. Residents interested in participating can contact
Lorie Hill through the WCA Office at wcaoffice@aol.com.
