This morning Eugenia Rosen, South Tower, asked to put in writing some of her thoughts.
She is very thankful to the Board of Directors of Aquarius that the Jewish holidays are being observed. She is especially attentive that for the Aquarius Meeting of October 4 there was a change of schedule to respect the Rosh Hashana – Jewish New Year.
She is also very pleased that the Yom Kippur — Day of Atonement has been declared a non working day at the building.
The idea, says Eugenia R., is that the community is diverse. Celebrating and respecting this diversity makes all living in here more aware, more congenial, more appreciative of other cultures and their traditions. At the end all live in a stronger and better community where conflict is replaced by harmony, dissent by consensus and competitiveness is replaced by collaboration.
The fact that the Board of Director is attentive and respectful of the several beliefs present in the Aquarius Association is very positive and conducive to the well-being of all.

Aquarius Mini Gym September 2016
As many Aquarius residents are aware we are refurbishing the Gym Bathrooms. This work will provide the community with an 40 + years update. It will make the place safer, more comfortable with all vapor and dry saunas working.
Unfortunately during the construction it is not possible to keep the Gym open. It is not safe and it will delay the construction exercise. In an attempt to minimize the inconvenience a “MINI GYM” has been installed in the Alcove (between the Library and the Cascade Room). There we have four stationary bikes, one treadmill and two inversion equipment.
The always caring Harry Smith selected the machines that have the most use and that could be transported without danger of breakage. He is studying the possibility to bring some free weights to complement this make-up, temporary mini gym.

. Aquarius Gym Gets a New Roof September 2016
After a couple of days of intense rain Best Roof could start working in the replacement of the Aquarius Gymnasium Building roof. A series of photos show the progress of the work.
Now let’s enjoy 20 years with no leaks in the Gym with its warranty against hurricanes. This is what one can call peace of mind.
Day one – demolition of the old roof – September 14
Second day – September 15
Third day – The work goes on.
September 17 – The work is almost done!
The roof of the Gym should be done very soon. The firm Best Roof will give the work as finished and the S & D Engineering will verify and certify the work according to the specifications of the bid.

The robber dog
Landscape Architect for Aquarius 2016
Aquarius Condominium Association is actively working to satisfy the Law mandate 40 Year Recertification requirement. Hillman Engineering is verifying the structural, electrical and other components of building that once repaired and recertified will assure about next 10 years of safe enjoyment.
This Law came to Broward County after the example of Miami-Dade. To avoid fatalities and unnecessary danger Miami-Dade County instituted this re-certification program that looks for any aspects that presents danger or is otherwise unsafe in large structures as is the case of Aquarius. Broward County that is in the same climate conditions adopted very similar rules that aim to give the dwellers of these structures peace of mind and safety that they deserve. This is us.
The East Deck, the East Deck Pool and several of Aquarius balconies are going to be subject of concrete restauration. The work of Hillman Engineering is to point out where the reconstruction is necessary. After the demolition and the subsequent rebuilt a there is the opportunity to improve the look and use of these areas. It not enough to just rebuilt everything as it was before. New plans – even if they look exactly as they look now – need to be prepared so the engineering constructing firm can finalize their job.
With this need in mind the Board of Directors, working with the management firm Atlantic Pacific and Hillman Engineering, started a selection process to contract “LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT FIRM.”
On September 8 there was a special meeting where two firms presented their ideas, background and references.
The majority of the Aquarius Board of Directors is very much impressed with the work of the firm Landscape Achitect Consultant.
It may seem premature to commit such important endeavor after only two presentations. That is not the case. Several firms were invited:
Tony Grimaldi Landscape Architecture
Landscape Architect Consultants, Inc.
Savino Miller
KWDesign Landscape Architecture
Michael E. Pirich, Landscape Architect, P.A.
Rhett Roy
For a variety of reasons they could avail themselves for our needs. Many of them could only engage in the preparation of plans after the month of November. Too late for Aquarius.

Coming soon the General Contractors list. The list of Concrete Restauration firm that have been invited to make presentations to the Board and to the Owners of Aquarius.
