Morris Place Board and Taylor Management

The Board

Jack Bartholomew
Graham Cormode
Andrew Turner

The principle function of our board is to oversee the Morris Place Condominium Association's budget and expenses, to establish rules and regulations for the community, and to ensure proper upkeep of our common property – called "common elements" in legal documents you received at closing. In particular, the majority of the board's time is spent on consulting with our management company, Taylor Management. The board also chooses the contractors who perform functions such as engineering inspections, snow removal and landscaping. And in the short term, it's the board's job to complete a successful transfer of the property from Matzel & Mumford to the association, after ensuring that all our facilities have been properly built and fitted out – and to work with the builder to rectify any problems with communal property prior to the transition.

Taylor Management

Taylor Management, the management company retained by the board, oversees the day-to-day upkeep and maintenance of the common elements in the community. This includes landscaping, sprinkler maintenance, snow removal and minor repairs not covered under residents' individual warranties. In addition, Taylor Management handles routine financial affairs of the association, such as paying landscapers, collecting maintenance fees from residents, and the like. Finally, Taylor Management handles administrative tasks such as enforcing the association's rules.

Taylor Management also responds to emergency problems (only with common elements) during non-business hours. Go to the FAQs to learn more about the emergency response service.

Warranty Services

There's an important point to note regarding both the board and Taylor Management. Neither handles repairs and warranty work on your property. If your fire alarm is faulty or you're seeing "nail pops" in the walls of your unit, it's your responsibility to contact Matzel & Mumford's warranty service office directly. This is the case for all maintenance and repairs needed inside your residence that are still covered by the builder’s warranty.  Maintenance and repairs inside your home that are not under warranty are your responsibility.

For common elements such as burned-out light bulbs in each entry way or a snow-covered sidewalk, Taylor Management is your contact.
