Unfinished Business:
New Business:
Guest Speaker – Jodi Taylor
from Automatic Rain:
Jodi discussed adjusting
the timers for the sprinklers. Presently the city turns the water on from
6 p.m. to 9 p.m. with the Association timers are set for 12 a.m. to 7 a.m.
which means by the time our timers start there is very little water and
pressure left. Jody said his first order of business would be:
1) define the valves aren't
opening and get them running correctly.
2) combine some of the zones
so there aren't so many that need to be run.
3) adjust the time for the
oscillating heads which need three times as much time as the pop-ups.
Any parts we require will
be billed quarterly.
The Board voted unanimously
to contract with Jodi Taylor from Automatic Rain to inspect and repair
sprinklers system for ________________ per month. Kathy will contact
GroundTec to cancel their monthly sprinkler inspection.

The next Board meeting will be the Annual Meeting scheduled for Monday,
March 12, 2012 at 6pm.

the association had $15,187.97 in the Operating Account and $18,509.42
in the Reserve Account. All bills have been paid and we’re within

New Business:
-
Mr. Sol Katz, President of the
River Gardens HOA visited the RDI office to discuss issues he has with
the pool. Mr. Katz feels Cape Gardens needs to look into a fence
to the east of the pool in addition to the bushes already planted for privacy.
Kathy explained earlier in the day when Mr. Katz visited that the plants
are fast growers and by the end of the summer will be 4 feet tall.
They will be kept at a height of 6 to 8 feet after that but it takes time
for the growth. Mr. Katz also felt that better quality patio furniture
needs to be purchased and that River Gardens will pay for half of the cost.
The Board discussed the request and authorized the purchase of 4 chairs
and 1 table.
-
The Board requested that any
vandalism be reported to the police no matter how minor.
-
Beverly suggested a floodlight
with a motion detector be installed outside the bathrooms to hopefully
curtail any vandalism. Management will purchase the floodlights and
have them installed as soon as possible.
-
The issue of the paint color
for the Association was brought up Hazel Banks stated she thought she had
some left over from last time she painted and that it was purchased from
Sherwin-Williams. Hazel will look into this and let management know if
she has any paint. Once we determine the color and the number, management
will place it in their files for any owner who calls and wishes the information.
-
The Board members requested
an updated owners list. Kathy stated she'll be happy to send the
owners list to the Board and also informed those present that due to changes
in Florida Statute 720 we are not allowed to give out phone numbers and
e-mail addresses to other residents.
-
Crystal felt the lights at the
entrance are too low and it's causing a shadow which is obstructing the
view when you're exiting the area. Kathy stated that she would call
the landscaper and request they trim the bushes back slightly. They will
also be requested to trim around the “No Parking” sign on King Neptune
so it is clearly visible.
-
It was felt the plants on the
“fingers” are in need of fertilizing. Kathy stated she will call
Pearce Pest & Fertilizer and request they fertilize the plants.
-
The following items are issues
that management will get updated bids for: 1) determine if the pipes
on the north side of King Neptune Lane are reclaimed water and if they
are being used. 2) call for a bid on trimming all of the oleanders
behind the units on King Neptune to 12 feet. 3) call for a bid on
the price of a fence on the east side of the pool to be placed on the far
side of the new bushes. 4) call companies for a price on installing
a railing on the sidewalk at the drainage area on King Neptune.
With no further business
to discuss, the meeting was adjourned at 6:45 pm.
