Dear Neighbors,
Next Tuesday, September 22, we are scheduled to have a Board of Directors meeting at 6:00 PM, followed by a Town Hall concerning the Façade Project, scheduled just one hour later.
We have been told that Falcon Engineering and PG Restoration will be at the Town Hall.
Will the September 22 meetings actually take place?
We have been through this before.
March 2026, as this multimillion-dollar Façade Project was getting underway, the Board’s monthly meeting was postponed by one week, just like this one. On March 13, management announced that the Board meeting tentatively scheduled for March 17 had been rescheduled to March 24 because of a delay in receiving the month-end financial reports.
Then, on March 24—the very day of the rescheduled meeting—at 12:53 PM, management announced that the Board would not hold any March meeting after all. Management stated that, because of domestic water-line repairs and a scheduled building-wide water shutdown, it was “prudent to postpone.” Despite such a huge project beginning, they stated that the March meeting agenda did not include any critical items requiring immediate action.
And on June 25, 2024, an Open Forum Town Hall meeting was announced for July 10, 2024, at 3 PM, as an opportunity for residents to ask questions about the roof replacement project. Yet on the day of the meeting, just 21 minutes after an owner communication raising substantive questions about the project, a BuildingLink message announced “PLEASE BE ADVISED: THE MEETING WILL FOLLOW ROBERT’S RULES OF ORDER. and THE MEETINGS ARE TO RUN IN A POSITIVE MANNER. UNIT OWNER(S) WHO ARE FOUND TO BE OUT OF ORDER WILL BE ASKED TO ACT ACCORDINGLY”.
The three communications concerning the 2024 Town Hall are available on the Documents page of mysticpointe500owners.org.
September 22 needs to be different.
It needs to be a true Town Hall—an opportunity for owners to ask questions, hear answers, and have a meaningful discussion about the Façade Project.
We also hope the Association will preserve the complete Zoom recording of the September 22 Board meeting and Town Hall and make it available to owners as part of the Association’s official records—unlike the July 2024 Town Hall and the May 2025 Board meeting, the only Board meeting at which the $232,638.00 check to Best Roofing was discussed. Both recordings were declared “lost” by Management.
What is happening to our balconies?
I have posted videos documenting work performed on the balcony of my Unit 2105 on September 3, September 16, and September 17.
Please visit mysticpointe500owners.org and select the Façade Project page to see the videos for yourself.
The September 3 video shows substantial concrete being removed around three balcony posts, including jackhammer/chipping work.
The September 16 and September 17 videos document the condition of these areas approximately two weeks after the September 3 demolition.
These three posts were not among the specific balcony locations identified in Falcon’s May 2023 Structural Assessment as having concrete deficiencies requiring repair. The 2025 Project Manual subsequently established allowances and unit prices for various types of concrete and railing-post-pocket repairs, but did not identify these three posts by unit or location.
Falcon’s Project Manual also establishes procedures for this type of work. Among other things, it requires photographic documentation of existing conditions before work begins, requires repair areas to be marked for inspection, and provides for engineering inspection and documentation of field conditions and work performed.
That raises some straightforward questions:
- What condition was documented at these particular posts that justified removing the concrete?
- When were these locations inspected, and by whom?
- Were these areas photographed before demolition, as required by the Project Manual?
- What Falcon drawing, detail, inspection finding, or engineering determination called for this work?
- What was found after the concrete was opened? Was there corrosion, deterioration, water intrusion, delamination, or another condition requiring repair?
- Where is that finding documented?
And then there is the question of what happened after the concrete was removed.
0.90 inches of rain fell on September 3—the same day the concrete was demolished—and approximately 2.97 inches had accumulated by September 14, with additional storms on September 16–17.
Given that rainfall, what measures were taken to protect these newly exposed areas from water while they remained open?
And most importantly:
What was found when these areas were subsequently inspected, and where is that documented?
On a much larger scale, these same questions apply to the hundreds of locations contemplated by this project:
What engineering evidence supports performing this type of work at each location?
These are reasonable questions about a project that is expected to cost our Association millions of dollars.
September 22 is the time to ask
If the September 22 meetings take place as scheduled, owners should have the opportunity to ask their questions about the Façade Project—and to receive answers.
The documents are available.
The videos are available.
The questions are yours to ask.
Thank you.
