Annuals and New Plantings
The Annuals and new plantings were installed last Wednesday. Greenscapes (the landscape company) was out here yesterday and will be back today to finish up on adjusting the irrigation for the plants, flowers and a few hot spots that we have around the property.
Going Green
By the end of the week we should have a proposal to reduce the building lights in an effort to go more “green”. Once the proposal is received it will be sent to the Board of Directors for their review and final decision. We are still working some of the issues out with the garage lights. There are some areas that are dark and we are in the process of correcting those areas. Tri-City Electric is here today to see what can be done. Thank you for your patience in this matter.
TV in Aerobics Room
The TV for the aerobic room has been installed. We are waiting on getting brackets to mount the DVD player and the electrical outlet for the DVD player will be installed today. When you are finished using it, please turn the TV and DVD player off.
Pool Baths
We will be purchasing mats for the pool bathrooms since the tile tends to get slippery. We should have the mats with a week or two.

Annual Meeting / Board Meeting
At the Annual Meeting that was held last Thursday, Larry Ziegler was re-elected to the Board of Directors for North Star Yacht Club. At the Board Meeting, the Board of Directors approved the following projects/expenses:
• Change in the Window Washing Company which will save the association $1,430 a year and we should get much better service with the new company as we had problems the last two cleanings with the old company.
• The association will be purchasing a power washer for projects around the community.
• A TV and DVD player will be ordered for the Aerobics Room.
• The Board of Directors are looking in to changing the Sandy Beach area as it does not look appealing. If you have any suggestions on what we can do with this area, please let me know. We are very open to suggestions, especially from those that over look the Beach area.
• The new Flax Lilies at the circles of each tower have been approved. The Summer Annuals and new plants will be installed April 20th.
Amendments to the Rules and Regulations
• Clubhouse and Gym age restrictions – Currently the association Rules and Regulations state no children under the age 12 are allowed in the recreational facilities without adult supervision. The Board of Directors decided this age limit needed to be increased due to some of the homeowners expressing concern at recent meetings and open forums. The new age is 16 years old, anyone under the age of 16 must be accompanied by a responsible adult.
• The Board approved the use of electric grills on the property.
Parking
The documents clearly state that no boats or trailers are allowed on association property without prior association approval. The association can tow per the association documents at the owners expense. This can be found in section 19 of the Rules and Regulations. All that is needed is a sign to be posted at the property. The Board has reviewed this and signed a contract with Red’s O.K Auto and Towing. The required signage will be on the property by Monday at the latest. When the Board has given association approval to a few individuals, this has been subject to certain restrictions and timeframes and unfortunately this has been abused. In some cases, owners have not received association approval in advance. We have the name and numbers of a few places where you can store a boat or trailer. Please contact Michelle or I for this information.
Seasonal Residents
In my last blog, I added some reminders for the seasonal residents when they leave to head back up north. It was brought it to my attention I should remind owners to remove fan blades from their lanai fans and bring in all lanai furniture.
Window Washing
We have hired a new window washing company. They will be starting April 12th and finishing April 13th. The new company is The Clean Up Group.
Quarterly Fire Sprinkler and Alarm Inspection
The Quarterly Fire Sprinkler and Alarm Inspection will be taking place Monday April 11th starting at 9 AM. No alarms should sound.
Exit Gate by Spa
The exit gate by the spa leading to the marina is not working. Safety Signals should be out here today to fix it. I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
