North Star Yacht Club Association

Suspects Caught
I am sure most of you that were affected by the recent thefts are aware that the suspects have been apprehended. Due to the this incident, the Board of Directors and I are working on getting a few proposals and reviewing some prior proposals regarding security. Revisions to the security camera proposal have been requested to add cameras to all garages. A proposal has been requested for bars to be installed at the openings to the right and left of the 2nd floor garages making it impossible to gain access to the garage from this area. A proposal has also been requested and received to have a bypass switch installed for the garage lights so all of the lights can be on as needed. This was sent over to the Board of Directors for approval this morning.

Other Items/Issues the Board is currently working on
The Board is working on tightening up the lease restrictions for North Star. If the Board decides to change the leasing restrictions, a Special Membership Meeting will be called and all Homeowners will be notified well in advance along with the proposed changes. The Board is also looking to amend the Rules and Regulations in regards to smoking at the pool. The Rules and Regulations can be changed from time to time with just a Board Meeting and Board Member vote. If the Board decides to do this, I will inform all residents via the blog.

Status on Maintenance Items
The east tower garage key pad leading to the pool area is working but continues to chirp. A technician was out at the property yesterday and is looking into how to repair it. The two push buttons at the east end of the property (by the kiddie pool and tennis courts) are not working. We have had a lot of problems with water getting into the boxes and shorting out the wires. The company is looking into either a way to correct it with the existing buttons or a different type of button completely. The sensor at the west tower lobby door has been adjusted as a resident reported it not working correctly. One of our residents has volunteered to help with the beach project. He will be reporting to the Board in a month with three different opinions for the Board to review.

Elevators
Please DO NOT smoke in the elevators. Section 823.12 F.S., states that smoking in elevators is unlawful. It is unlawful for any person to possess any ignited tobacco product or other ignited substance while present in an elevator. Any person who violates this section is guilty of a misdemeanor of the second degree, punishable as provided in S. 775.082, S 775.083, S. 775.084.
