URGENT - PHONE LINE ISSUE

We are having issues with the office phone line. Please use 239-656-1796 to get in touch with Michelle or I. Century Link is working on the issue but line 1, 239-656-1430, is not working at this time and is not rolling over to the other line. If you cannot reach us by phone, please use email.

Window Replacement – East Tower
Tomorrow, Friday November 18th a window is being replaced. If you are in the 7 stack of the east tower you will see rope and cord hanging outside your living room window. The 3rd, 4th and 5th floors will see a swing station outside of the living room windows for a short time while they work their way up to the 6th floor to do the work. They will also be using a generator that will create a bit of noise. I apologize for inconvenience this may cause.

Offices Closed
The offices will be closed Thanksgiving and the following Friday.

Update 16th November 2011

Recycling
Please be careful when throwing glass bottles into the recycling totes. We have had a few incidents of broken glass in this area.

Wasps
We have been battling with wasps up on the roofs. The East tower roof was sprayed at the end of last week and the West tower will be sprayed today or tomorrow morning depending on the wind. The wasps are finding tiny holes in the tin roof where the slats meet. We have been working with a pest control company and the roofers to find a solution. I will keep everyone updated via the Blog.

Budget Meeting
The Budget Meeting is being held Monday, November 21st at 3 PM in the Clubhouse Theater. All Owners were mailed Notice of the Meeting and the 2012 Proposed Budget in accordance with the Florida State Statutes.

Mailing Addresses for Homeowners
If you need to change your mailing address to the property address for association mailings for the winter season, please let me know.

Update - 8th November, 2011

November 13th to 19th is Safety Awareness for Elevators. I received an email from the Elevator Company, Kone, today and thought it was a good idea to share their safety tips and reminders.
Elevator Safety Tips
• Be mindful of floor levels before entering or leaving elevator
• Stand aside for exiting passengers
• Enter and exit carefully, watching your step
• Don't try to stop a closing door with anything, including hands, feet, canes, etc. Use the Door Open button or wait for the next elevator to arrive
• Hold pets and children firmly
• Stand clear of the doors-keep clothes and carry-ons away from the opening
• Hold the handrail and stand back from the doors
• If the doors do not open when the elevator stops, push the door open button
• No unauthorized person should enter the elevator shaft

Back Gate Push Button and Key Pad
Both the key pad and push buttons have been fixed. Let me know if you experience any problems with them.

Pool and Spa – Out of propane
A propane delivery will be here today or tomorrow for the spa and pool heaters.

Tree Trimming
The tree trimming will be taking place tomorrow and Thursday.

Back Gate Codes
The Back gate codes will be changing Monday November 7th. If you did not receive the email with the code, please let me know.

Trash Chutes and Dumpsters
Please do not throw carpet and construction debris down the trash chute. Earlier this week someone put a roll of carpet down the trash chute and clogged the chute. If you have big items that need to be discarded, please make sure you call into WastePro for a special pick up. Their number is 239-337-0800.

Pet Stations
The west tower pet station is broken. A new one has been ordered and will be replaced once it comes in.

Beach Area and Volleyball Court
The beach area and volleyball court will be getting new sand. The board is also looking into doing some additional plans in this area along with some benches and/or picnic tables. Any enhancements, once board approved, will most likely be done in the beginning of 2012.

Garage Sweeping
I just want to thank those homeowners that have sent in suggestions, recommendations and information on the cleaning of the garage floors.
