Mr, Bornstein claimed to have invested in a costly, "troub le free,' septic system with parts expected to last 20-25 years used on condo usage which is being maintained-by Holmes&McGrath. Concern was expressed that the letter subnnitted by Holmes McGrath was not specific to Baypoint Condominium but a generic letter describing reliability. Mr. Bornstein responded that he could provide a more detailed letter. Burd members noted that the originally imposed conditions indicate that the Performance Bona would be released after issuance of the Certificate of Compliance. Board members were in agreement that, despite the bond, funds should be set aside for the future repair and maintenance of the septic syste ., particularly since property . management will ultimately be transferred to the condo Board of Trustees. The Chair requested that Mr. Bornstein submit documentation in a form such as an amendment to the Condominium's master deed that would mandate that the futdre Beard of Trustees provide sepa 4te reserve funds for maintaining the system in order to release the bond.
