What are the possibilities for free visitor parking on evenings/weekends? There is little we can do about the weekend/evening parking fee.  This area falls under the landlord's jurisdiction.  Once we are established in the building we can ask the landlord if they would consider changing the weekend/evening rates to accommodate the volunteers using our boardrooms.  We cannot make any promises but will pose the question.

- more info to follow in Feb. re: costs, website, etc.

Will we be able to have side panel windows like we have now?  What about glass doors? - just to give more light to the interior common space and awareness of what is going on.

Yes to sidelights - SAO will pay for these. 

Glass doors - sure - the cost will be borne by the association (very expensive).

Will the new building have bike racks? Yes the new building does have bike racks.  They are currently in the parking garage at the exit gates, but they will be relocating them next month to another area.  They haven’t confirmed the new location yet, but they will let us know when we move in. 
Where will the wall jacks be located?
 
They will be 18” above the finished floor unless otherwise indicated.  If the associations want something different, please let Lore know - Ext. 7174.
Will we be able to retain our current phone and fax numbers? Yes the numbers will stay the same.
