- Derek and Anna reviewed spalled northeast corner and repair procedure, suggested leaving the existing flashing and creating a sealed joint with the patched joint.

3) Mechanical
- 205 is done, 101 done Monday morning; 103 or 104 next depending on access

5) Exterior lighting
- Lee is talking to a lighting vendor (RAB) to get a fixture spec
- Lee is also investigating a couple other lighting changes- replace the lighting on the 4th-floor common deck, and add a light over the main entrance
6) Security
- People are climbing the scaffolding trying to get in. One person stepped on the glass over the entrance and broke one of the panels.
- Nam is investigating adding barb wire to the staging to discourage climbing
- There’s also an issue with people getting into the lobby and setting up camp in the trash room. Sub-contractors need to keep the front door closed.
