Window Washing Reminder
Just a reminder, the Inaccessible windows will be washed tomorrow December 28th and Thursday December 29th.
Theater/Clubhouse Reservations
We had a homeowner reserve the theater from 5-8 last night through Michelle. When the homeowner came down to use the theater another resident said that they reserved it through Michelle from 5-10 and kicked the other homeowner out that reserved it. After looking on Michelle’s calendar, it does show, (not in Michelle’s handwriting and it was not there Friday before she left) the clubhouse from 5-10, not the theater. This was not properly reserved through Michelle. Michelle puts all of the reservations on the NSYC Shutterfly website, please refer to that calendar and do not reserve anything on your own or put it on. We do know who this party was and will be discussing it with them.
Back Gate Codes
The back gate codes will be changing TUESDAY January 3rd due to Monday being a Holiday. You will be receiving an email with the codes.

AC in the Gym and Aerobics Room
The AC controls in the Gym and Aerobics room have been unlocked. The AC company does not recommend the AC being below 68 degrees. If you do turn down the temperature, please remember to turn it back to 74 degrees when you leave.
Update on the Beau Drive Resident Gate
The gate company was out Wednesday afternoon to adjust the Resident exit gate at Beau Drive so it does not hit the curb.
Flowers and Flower Beds
New river rocks will be installed at the flower beds located at the entrances of the towers and the islands out by the pool. There were a few annuals that did not make it through install and will be replaced at no cost to the association.
Popcorn Maker
If you use the popcorn maker, please clean it out after you are done.
Accepting Packages
If you need Michelle to accept a package please make sure the company knows that her hours are 8 AM to 4 PM.

Update - 14 December, 2011
Pool and Spa
The propane company was out here Monday afternoon. They checked for a leak and found nothing. They did refill the tanks and came out again today to make sure the usage was correct. The system on the spa heater was in lock out. I was able to get the faults to clear and it is up and running again. On a side note, the association is looking into using natural gas instead of propane. The cost per gallon for natural gas is about $0.90 as opposed to around $2.50/gallon for propane. As I am just starting to gather information and pricing it looks like the spa and pools heaters would be able to run on natural gas which means we would not have to get new heaters. We do have a natural gas line that we can hook up to on the property. They would be able to use our existing underground tank. I would like to thank Dave Large for getting me in touch with Teco Gas
Beau Drive Gate
Please do not push these gates open to walk through them. We have pedestrian gates on Beau Drive by the marina walk way. Please use this gate instead. The reason why the gates do “give” a bit is if a car does bump it, it will not cause damage to the gate/motor. Also, when exiting the property, please wait for the gate to stop moving before passing through the gate. We are having issues with it hitting the curb and bouncing back a bit. A work order has already been put into Maingate. Once they correct the problem or find a solution, I will update the owners via the Blog.

Back Gates Key Pad
At the Board Meeting the residents in attendance asked about a fob system for the back gates instead of the key pads we currently have there. I am working on getting prices and will provide them to the Board Members. It would be the same system we currently have for the garages into the clubhouse. This way we would not have to distribute any other fobs/keycards. I will keep you informed if the Board decides to approve this project.
Holiday Hours/ Vacations
Property Management and Concierge will be closed Monday December 26th and January 2nd. Michelle will be off December 20th and I will be off December 22nd-23rd and December 29th-30th. Sales will be closed December 24th, December 25th and January 1st . On December 31st, they will be closing at 2 PM.
Pool/Spa
The propane company is coming out today to look into a possible leak. A homeowner reported this morning that there was a very strong propane smell Saturday night over by the spa.
Trash Chutes
Please remember not to put cardboard or styrofoam down the trash chutes.

HE Detergent
We have had issues in two units with soap suds coming up in their toilets/drains. The engineer and plumber has asked the association residents to start using HE detergent in the wash machines. We are hoping this will correct the problem as it has in other communities.
Screen Door Flyer
Attached is the flyer for the screen door that would not attach to yesterday's email.
Office Phone Line
Century Link was out here again yesterday to look at our phone line (239-656-1430) and it looks like they finally found the issue. Let’s hope this fixes the problem. If you experience any message stating "the mailbox is full" then please let me know.

Back Gate Codes
Just a reminder, the back gate codes changed last week. If you did not get the email with the codes, please let me know.
Board Meeting Report
Here are the items that were decided on at the Board Meeting that was held on December 2nd at 12 PM:
Phantom Screen Doors
The Board has approved the Phantom Screen Door for homeowners to install at their front doors. Please see attached flyer from Lowes. This is the only screen door the association will allow homeowners to have. Lowes will need a letter from the association saying the Board of Directors have approved this door for the association. Please let me know if you are looking to do this and I will provide you the letter.
Security Cameras/ Security Bars for the Garage Openings
The Board has approved the Security Bars for the garage openings on the second floor. They will be installed around the 1st of the year. The Board did not approve the Security Cameras but discussed the issue at length.
Smoking Policy
The association had an incident over the summer at the pool regarding smoking. A poll was put on the Associations’ Shutterfly Website on whether smoking should be banned on all common areas of the association or if there should be a designated smoking area. The results were:
Smoking should be banned – 5 votes
Smoking should not be banned – 5 votes
Designated smoking area – 4 votes
At this time the Board decided not to take any action on this and felt homeowners, smokers and non smokers, should be considerate and respectful to others as it is everyone’s home.
Just a reminder smoking in the elevator is not allowed. It is against the Law.
Lease Restrictions
The Board is working on tightening up the lease restrictions within the Association. This matter has been turned over to the Association’s attorney to draft the amendment with the language the Board would like. The Members will vote on the proposed Amendment at the Annual Meeting.
Holiday Party
Reminder, the Holiday Party is tomorrow! Contact Michelle if you have any questions about the Party.
