Open Forum Meeting
We will be having an Open Forum Meeting, as we have done in the past, before the Annual Meeting. This will be to hear any issues that have not been brought up previously so at the Annual Meeting we can discuss what the board has decided on those items. The open forum meeting will be Wednesday March 16th at 6 PM.

Maintenance Issues
Here are some of the maintenance issues we have been working on for the past month or so:
Landscape – We had seven irrigation decoders and one valve that went bad. Greenscapes have been at the property last Friday, Saturday and Monday to get these zones up and running. Due to these zones being off for a little bit, the annuals started getting stressed and in these areas are not doing so well. Greenscapes will be replacing some of the flowers, at no cost to the Association, next week. As of the beginning of April the property will be mowed every week. The pruning of the shrubs will be taking place this week.
Clubhouse – The men’s steam room is still having some issues but Water Works are working quickly to diagnose which circuit board is causing the problem. The office phone number (239-656-1430) is having problems and is saying the mailbox is full when it is not. I have been trying to work with Century Link to get this problem corrected. If you get that message, please call back in 10 minutes or send a quick email. We apologize for the inconvenience and thank you for your patience while we get this problem corrected. The TV in the sitting room in the clubhouse is not working. The TV’s power source went bad and we are looking into a replacement TV.
Parties – Just a reminder, if you reserve the theater, card room, and/or clubhouse, please make sure you leave it in the condition you found it in.
Pool Area – One of the gates by the spa is not closing properly. New hinges have been ordered and the gate will be adjusted by the end of the week. One of the large umbrellas broke last week. Please remember to close the umbrellas when you are done using them. Failure to do this will cause the umbrella arms to snap. We are working to get the umbrella repaired since the large umbrellas cost close to $1,500. There is a step that is broken by the fountain. We have put a red cone by it to keep people away from this area for their safety. The cleaning staff will start cleaning the pool furniture.
Towers / Garages – The garages will be vacuumed next week. The east tower will be done Thursday, March 17th and the west tower will be done Friday, March 18th. I have been working with Wayne Wiles on the tile issue in the towers. There is this product that chemically etches the tile to make it more textured to cause less slipping. This product would cost about $16,000 to do the floors plus labor. If the Board does decided to go with this, we would try to get the maintenance guys to do it within their hours so there would be no additional labor cost. Wayne Wiles will be letting us try this product out to see how it works on some spare tile. I will keep the community updated on this issue.
Curbing– The curbing around the property has been cleaned and will be cleaned on a monthly basis.

Questions – You can always email, call or put a note in my box on my door at any time with any questions, complaints, comments or concerns.
