As of November 30, 2010, the Operating account had a balance of $54,528.44 and the Reserve account had a balance of $135,521.29. Four units are being foreclosed on by their mortgage holders. The association is approximately $1500 over budget due to a Bad Debt line item that must be taken into account.
6. Guest Speaker-Josh Ranew from Ranew Insurance:
Josh Ranew explained that State Statutes supersede condominium documents and what may have been the associations responsibility is no longer the case. Josh also reminded the owners that Wind Mitigation forms are available and that sending one to an insurance company in most cases will lower their home insurance premiums. Renters would need to contact their individual insurance agencies to determine if a Wind Mitigation would lower their premiums. One renter asked Josh for his opinion on specific agencies and Josh directed them to go online for “ABBest” and this website would give them an insurance company’s rating.
7. 2010 Events:
-The board held 7 regular meetings, 1 budget meeting and this evening’s annual meeting.
-Overall the year had fewer problems than in the preceding year.
-Maintenance fees for 2011 are unchanged again, even after the Board voted to fully fund reserves.
-Four benches were purchased for placement around the pond.
-New vertical blinds will be installed with the expenditure coming from the funds received for rec room rentals.
-Buildings E & F were painted.
-The putting green has been repaired and painted. It will be determined later if another coat of paint is necessary.

a.) One owner’s contractor disposed of carpet and building materials in the dumpster. The Board stressed to all residents that carpet and/or building materials cannot be disposed of in the dumpsters. Contractors must dispose of materials off site.
b.) An owner asked why a contract with Brighthouse was signed instead of utilizing a satellite company. Kathy explained that even though Brighthouse has a yearly increase, by having a contract, it prevents the cable company from increasing more than the contract allows. Satellite dishes would not be feasible on the grounds. Owner’s present expressed satisfaction with Brighthouse.

4. Financial Report:
As of October 31, 2010 the association has the following in their accounts, Operating: $60,269.86 and Reserves: $128,339.73. All bills are current and the association is approximately $2,000 under budget through October. Financial sheets will be posted on the bulletin board for the residents to read when the account is reconciled. Kathy reported there has been $620 collected in rec room reservations and posed the question of using the funds before the end of the year to replace the verticals since the amount will not be carried over to 2011. Jacquie had a contractor, Blinds of all Kinds, write up an estimate for the rec room earlier this year which was $874.50. Kathy suggested using the funds we presently have and the balance of approximately $250 from the operating account. Jacquie Allen made a motion to replace the blinds as stated above. Dave Martin seconded the motion and the motion passed by unanimous voice vote.
RDI Policy: Kathy also stated that RDI will not accept payments for monthly maintenance fees or be responsible for their mailing to the bank. Payments must either be mailed directly to the bank or the owner can set up an automatic funds transfer on their own.
5. Unfinished Business:
Benches: The Board previously discussed installing benches around the lakes which would encourage residents to take walks and have a place to rest if the need arose. There are sufficient funds in Deferred Maintenance to purchase 4 benches at approximately $700 each, prep the sites and install the purchased benches. The cost could be upwards of $4000. Jacquie Allen made a motion to purchase benches for around the lakes for no more than $4000. The type of bench and placement will be determined at a later time. Dave Martin seconded the motion and it passed by unanimous voice vote.
Flag Pole: When Jim Marshall from Marshall Construction made the final adjustment to the flagpole base, he had suggested painting the surrounding area white to offset the pole. Dave reported he has since painted the base.
Putting Green: RDI received a proposal from Mike’s Masonry to grind, patch any cracks and paint the putting green for $1,825. The cost of installing carpet from J&J Carpet was $4,000. Dave Martin made a motion to contract with Mike’s Masonry to complete the project stated above for $1,825. Jacquie Allen seconded the motion and the motion passed by unanimous voice vote.
6. New Business:
Guest Speaker for Annual Meeting: Josh Ranew from Ranew Insurance will be on hand to answer any condominium insurance questions, including but not limited to, what the owner and condo are responsible for.

Announcements would still be addressed in the minutes. Jacquie felt this would give the Board the opportunity to know the thoughts and wishes of the owners before decisions are made. Jacquie made a motion to have the Owner’s Forum before the meeting, at 6:45 pm, the speakers would sign in, and would be allowed 3 minutes each. The meeting would be called to order at 7:00 PM. This change would start at the January 2011 meeting. Dave Martin seconded the motion and it passed by unanimous voice vote.

Building B – Leak
Detection: American
Leak Detection inspected Building B to try and determine the reason for the
excessive water usage. They discovered a hose bib on the west side of the
building was leaking underground and that was the reason for the usage. All
Florida was called to make the repair and they were over the following morning
to make the repairs. RDI keeps a water usage spreadsheet so we should be able
to tell within a couple months what the savings are. Dave Martin reported there
were 4 units with small leaks with floats in the tanks. Four units (215, 209,
217 and possibly 216) need to have their shut off values replaced and 1 unit we
did not have a key for. Kathy from RDI will send a letter to unit 216 stating a
key is required.

Due to Thanksgiving, pest control for Buildings A, B and C will be completed on Monday, November 29th instead of Friday, November 26th.
7. Committee Reports:
Maintenance-Dave Martin:
Dave stated that some of the brackets that stabilize the outdoor faucets to the buildings are rusting. If they break, it could damage the faucets. The project has been added to David’s work list. Walkways are being repaired in Building C. Dave also stated some of the trash chute door tracks are in need of replacement. Kathy will look into whether the tracks can be purchased separately and get prices for both the track and door & track.

Bea reported that crumbs are still being left on the counter from those using the facilities.

D126 is in the process of being purchased.

b.) Jacquie offered to assist with the next newsletter and suggested adding issues that have been raised in meeting and rules that appear not to be adhered to. For example: Children 12 and under must be supervised' by adult'. If you have guests/with children be sure they know that children cannot be in the pool without an adult. It is the responsibility of the resident owner/renter that their guest(s) adhere to all the rules of the community. The pool gate should be locked at all times, even when there are people in the pool.

5.
Unfinished Business:
Putting Green:
Mary reported that she, Bea and Kathy visited J&J Carpets for an estimate on
recarpeting the putting green at a cost of approximately $4,000. After further
discussion it was felt that an option may be to just sand and paint the putting
green a non-stick green color. Mike from Mike’s Masonry was called and he
determined that the glue residue is very soft from the excessive heat this
summer and doing it now would just clog the machines. An option would be to
wait until it gets much cooler and the glue hardens, and then sand it down.
6. New Business:
Budget Information: Kathy thanked the following Budget Committee members for their time in reviewing the draft presented: Betty Gaulin-E134, Helen Henry-E139, Mitzie Rose-F143, Gwen Eifler-B-111 and Board members Mary Touris and Bea Williams. The Budget Committee met on September 8th to review and finalize the proposed budget that will be mailed to all owners with the agenda for the Budget Meeting on November 9, 2010 at 7:00pm. Dave Martin made a motion for RDI to mail the 2011 Proposed Budget to the unit owners with the Budget Meeting date as November 9, 2010. Steve Gaulin seconded the motion and the motion passed by unanimous voice vote.
Maintenance Payroll: Dave Martin made a motion to raise the wages of David Labine $1.00 per hour. Steve Gaulin seconded the motion and the motion passed by unanimous voice vote.
Annual Meeting: The Annual Meeting is scheduled for December 7th and the first packet will be mailed before October 7th. We will need owners to volunteer for the Board.
Amendment to the Documents: It was brought to the attention of Management that even though you have not had a 9 member Board for quite some time, your Documents do state that there “shall be a 9 member Board”. I called the attorney for the cost of amending the Docs and it will be approximately $500 and the owners will need to vote their approval. Since it was brought up, it cannot be ignored and the options are amending the Docs or 9 owners volunteering for the Board. Dave Martin made a motion to contact the attorney and proceed with the proxy to amendment the Docs stating the Board shall consist of no less than 3 owners or more than 7 owners. Jacquie Allen seconded the motion and the motion passed by unanimous voice vote.
Building B – Water Usage: A spreadsheet has been kept since 2009 recording the water usage for all the buildings. Building B has excessive usage which did decrease once when tubing was observed dripping water. The figures are back up and management suggests contacting Leak Detection to determine if there is a leak in or around the building which would cause the usage. Jacquie Allen made a motion to contract with a leak detection company as specified above. Dave Martin seconded the motion and the motion passed by unanimous voice vote.
Tennis Court: Jacquie stated even though the tennis court appears to be rarely used, repairs will need to be made. The Board felt repairs could be addressed at a later time.
7. Committee Reports:
Maintenance/Landscaping-Dave Martin/Don Williams:
a.) There are 2 palms at D Building that need attention. One needs to be removed and one trimmed.
b.) Dave reported that there was a complaint from the resident in A107 that someone severely trimmed palms by her front door without permission.
c.) Mike’s Masonry will be called to make stucco repairs at the gutter on Building D and to inspect the upper walkways at Buildings E & F.
d.) Dave invited anyone wishing to be on the Landscape Committee or to assist in planting to contact him.

9. Owner Forum and Announcements:
Mitzie Rose questioned why the second floor porches weren’t painted. It was determined that when the association allowed porches to be enclosed, the painting became the owner’s responsibility otherwise painters would have to enter the units and possibility cause damage.

David will be instructed to paint a “G” on the storage building and we’re getting bids for the battery backup. Kathy wrote a letter to the county requesting an extension for the alarm system and hopefully this can be extended for quite awhile. Since an alarm system would require a special assessment, the Board and management will exhaust every avenue first.
Painting Update: Building E has been prepped for the painters who have finished power washing the building. Painting is to begin immediately and as weather permits. Mikes Masonry is currently prepping Building F and when he’s completed, DAB will be power washing that building. As soon as we have dates for the power washing of Building F and painting of the buildings, we’ll let the residents know.
7. Committee Reports:
Maintenance/Landscaping-Dave Martin:
- David is scheduled to build a fence to surround the pump per the county.
- Kathy purchased the 2 time strips for the pool signs to read “dawn to dusk”.
-The landscape committee has completed the front entrance and all residents have expressed their pleasure at how it looks. Delivery trucks from the store fronts were exiting by going over our grass. The new layout will prevent this from happening.
- The area on the east end of Building F has been completed and once the Royal Poinciana tree that was planted takes hold, it will enhance the area. Mitzie Rose suggested planting another Royal Poinciana on the east side of the pond, between the 2 waterfalls. Dave will look into getting another tree.
- Dave, Bea and Kathy purchased three new umbrellas for the pool area at half for the cost of the previous ones. These are the pull rope and pin type and we’re hoping they last longer. If the rope does break, it can be easily replaced. Three more umbrellas will be purchased this week.
Social-Bea Williams:
-Residents have been reminded to please clean up any crumbs and food in the rec room before they leave since we’re having an issue with ants.
8. Unit Sale /Approvals:
9. Owner Forum and Announcements:
Mitzie Rose questioned whether the trash bins were being pulled out or if Waste Management was charging the association. Dave Martin responded that he and David have been making sure the bins have been attended to. Kathy reported that Waste Management has not charged us for any pull outs. Mitzie also questioned why the west gate was unlocked. Dave replied it was easier for the driver to exit from that gate instead of back up through the property. It also saves on the wear and tear of the roadway.

The next Board Meeting is scheduled for May 11, 2010 at 7:00 p.m.

bid for installing sprinklers along the seawall in order to water the new sod.
In the meantime, Dave Martin and Max Mahoney have been watering the sod to keep
it from dying. The Board especially wished to thank Max for volunteering to
help water the new sod.
Dumpster Update: Kathy reported that Waste Management will be charging for the “roll out” service. Since they’ve been arriving early to mid morning, David Labine has been on hand to roll out the dumpster then roll them back into the area under the stairs. Dave Martin was able to do it last week when David was ill. A form has been devised in order to keep track of the days we roll out the dumpsters. When the bill is received we will confirm the charges for roll out service is correct. Lisa Asselin from Waste Management has been called to advise her of the set up. A suggestion was made to have the dumpsters emptied once a week during the winter months and the Board will take it under advisement.
6. New Business:
F Building Curbing: The landscape committee toured the east side of F Building and has suggested softening the angle of the curbing in the planter on the northeast corner of Building F.

Flag Pole: Kathy stated she has been researching to cost of a new flag pole. The approximate cost for a 20’ pole, delivered but without installation is $250 from SF Travis Hardware in Cocoa Village. Home Depot doesn’t carry them at all so the only other avenue would be on line.

Fire Extinguisher Check Up: Mary stated she will call the inspector the association used last year and set up a date for owners to have their personal fire extinguishers inspected.
Vendor Interference: There was an issue last month of a resident threatening a vendor with bodily harm. A certified letter has been sent to this resident by the Board’s and Management’s stating this behavior will not be tolerated and the police will be called if there’s another instance. All residents are reminded not to interfere with any vendor on this property. If there are questions, either the Board or Management is to be contacted.
Board Reorganization: Fred O’Donnell has resigned from the Board for health reason. Dave Martin has been asked to fill the position of Vice President and he has accepted the position.

Business:
Seawall update:
Kathy stated Marshall Construction has completed the seawall and the back fill
is almost completed. The dumpster will be removed in a day or two and
additional dirt has been ordered. They wanted to give the dirt already spread
time to settle and lose some of the moisture from the construction before
ordering the dirt. They’ve receive compliments on the seawall from numerous
residents. The association will purchase the sod and have it laid.
Dumpster update: Last month Kathy reported that Waste Management will be charging for the “roll out” service. The cost for roll out service is $15.00 per dumpster, per instance, per month. For example, IV has 12 dumpsters. Service once a week would cost $15.00 x 12 dumpsters = $180.00 per month. If rollout is needed twice per week pick up it would be $15.00 x 12 dumpsters x twice per week = $360.00. If the 3 sets of recycle bins are rolled out, it's an additional $15.00 per instance per month. 3 sets x $15.00 x once per week = $45.00. The association was supposed to have been charged all this time but wasn’t charged due to an oversight. Lisa Asselin from Waste Management sent an email explaining the procedure and each Board member received a copy.
6. New Business:
F Building Curbing:
The landscape committee toured the east side of F Building and have suggested softening the angle of the curbing in the planter on the northeast corner of Building F, This would assist residents and commercial vehicles in negotiating the sharp turn without going over the curbing.

An email was received prior to the meeting from the Allen’s in F248 expressing their displeasure with the proposed project.
Flag Pole: Kathy stated she has been researching to cost of a new flag pole. The approximate cost for the pole, without installation, has been approximately $1,000. More research for local companies in planned. Steve Gaulin suggested Travis Hardware in Cocoa Village be contacted and a resident suggested Home Depot. Both companies will be contacted.
7. Committee Reports:

side and large sections before clubhouse also on the parking lot side.
