A Place for 360 Austin Condo Residents to Share
News
March 9, 2009
People seem to prefer the Yahoo group for communication. I am going to clean up this blog and incorporate any important info from the message threads there:Yahoo Groups. Join the Yahoo group to chat with neighbors there if you wish.
January 16, 2009 Management has declared the water pressure issue resolved. Some folks received this message from Kenny Peterson:
"We have been able to fix the water pressure problem and have discovered the source of the issue as well. In addition to this we were able to find a quick repair to this should the software issue happen again. (Isn`t technology grand?!) The best part of this is that it only required a 10 second shut off of the water. Please stay in touch with us and inform us of any reoccurrence of this type of issue - we will do our best to fix this as quickly as possible in the future. Thank you very much for your patience and we are very grateful to our wonderful residents at 360 Condominiums!"
January 14, 2009 The Board Election was held last night. Brian Queenin was elected to a three year term. Krystle Copulos was elected to a two year term. Michael Jones was elected to a one year term.

How This Works
You can view what other residents say on a variety of subjects. If you want permission to post entries, get yourself a GOOGLE account and send an e-mail to the moderator. Comments are moderated. The moderator must be convinced that you are a resident to vet it. If you want to have the moderator start a thread (for example a chat for your level) send an e-mail. You get the idea.

Please don?t give anything to the homeless. You may feel compassion for the lone woman camped on the sidewalk this morning, but how will you feel going out at 11 o?clock to walk your dog when there are clusters of drunk, stoned or aggressive panhandlers around the building? If you give something to one, their friends will find out and come here for easy money.?
I am a little surprised that a building with 430 units doesn't have uniformed security and relies on cameras, security doors (which frequently fail) and concierges for security. Even my country club has uniformed security for the hours we are open and a night watchmen. The front door is never locked lately (it wasn't at 11 last night) because the key pad doesn't work and the concierge doesn't want to get up to let people in. The doors to the elevator area are often open because of the air pressure. (The solution is a sign telling people to be sure they close. That's not security.)
As long as we have started a security category -- and in line with the first post-- twice now, Linda and I have decided to just walk down to the street from floor 10 rather than wait for the one functioning elevator to traverse twenty-something floors' worth of people.
Both times, we have found the door to the parking garage at level two wide open. It's going to be a matter of time before the homeless find out about this alternate route into the stairwell. Granted, they can't get into any floor above that (you'd hope) but the stairwell itself provides a clean, well-lighted place for a nice campout.
Don't know about you, but confronting one of these dudes who is twice my size in a confined space is not a cheery thought.
We are concerned about the lack of security at 350 as well. With security that is improperly installed and lax rules on where construction crews may park and enter the building (hence the unlocked door on P2) and, again today, the key pad broken on the garage security gate I think we as residents must express our outrage to the management on a continuing basis.
Homeless help:
I've worked Outreach Ministry at the downtown Presbyterian church and their "official" recommendation is to never give money to a homeless person. Instead, take them for a meal and pay for it and/or refer them to the local homeless services. This is not cruel, just practical. Homeless folks will remain homeless if they do not have direction and getting assistant for earning one's keep is a good direction to point them in.
Ellen-- I certainly agree about referring homeless people to services for them. According to someone I know who has given thousands of hours to nonprofits, homeless people in Austin can get four free meals a day.
I applaud you for your work.
I have also noticed that several condos are putting out plastic chairs on their balconies, along with small plants, mats, empty boxes... all of which are blown over on windy days and a potential threat to those below.... Please pay heed to the homeowners rules about using approved materials only (i.e. iron furniture, no ). It for the safety of everyone
Thanks, Anon!
Amen to that-- I just hope that no one gets hurt when some of this stuff flies off in a windstorm!
We hear there is now a night time security guard.
Today the security doors at the pool level and the fitness level were left open "for Realtors." I think there were interlopers on the pool deck. I saw two different guys carrying six packs of long necks around the pool. I guess if you don't live here, you've no need to obey the 'no glass' rule.
