Board Meeting – April 10th, 2012 (sorry this was not send out sooner)
Here are a few things that took place at the Board Meeting April 10th.
Resident Advisory Committee
The resident advisory committee members are Bill Rutledge,{Head}, Bob Laskey, Kelly Swanson, Klaus Albert, Larry Zeigler, Ed Schneider,& Jim Wekenmann. Some of the projects/proposals they are working on are:
Adding a Guest Suite to the Property - The committee is working up a proposal to present to the Board to turn the game room (out by the cabanas) into a guest suite.
Additional Rules to Reserving the Clubhouse – The committee is working up rules/procedures for reserving the theater and clubhouse and will present to the Board.
Dog Park – The committee is working up plans and pricing for the dog park and will present to the Board. The area they are looking at is by the west tower additional parking lot.
Beach Committee
The beach committee members are Paula Renuad, Dave Large, George Pazera and Deena Laties. They are working on a proposal to present to the Board to renovate the beach area over by the west tower.
The Board also discussed installing an additional electrical meter for the cabanas. This should have been done at construction as it states in the documents that the cabanas will be on a separate meter. Vendors have been contacted to give proposals for this project which will be presented to the Board.
A couple of other items that came up that are being referred to the Association’s Attorney for legal opinions are:
• To start changing the cabana owners maintenance fees on their cabanas.
• To establish a separate association for the cabanas.
Smoking at the pool – Change to the rules and regs.
The Board approved "No Smoking" at the pool deck and designated the area behind the fountains as a smoking area. Letters will be ordered to apply to the existing signs so there are not signs everywhere at the pool area. Additional cigarette receptacles have been ordered for this area.
Other Maintenance Items/Issues/Updates and Reminders for Seasonal Residents
Landscape
On Monday of this past week, it was reported there was an irrigation head broken at the west tower circle. A work order was put in that day and the landscape rep said it would be looked at on Tuesday. A walk through with the landscapers was done yesterday morning and this was pointed out again to the rep. She will have this addressed ASAP.
A work order was put in again on Monday of this past week to have Greenscapes spray all the weeds in the beds and pavers. This was done on Tuesday. It takes 7-10 days before the weeds will die completely.
We have also seen several dry spots around the property, in the turf and a few of the shrubs. This is being addressed. An application of cutless was applied to our shrubs on Tuesday.
Annuals will be installed next week. Pictures will be included in one of the upcoming blogs.
Palm fronds around the property were trimmed if they could be reached with a pole saw.
Two sabal palms are being monitored since we are seeing some browning on the new shoots. There is no sign of Gamaderma which is a very good thing.
Seasonal Residents
Just some reminders for the seasonal residents.
• Please turn off the water source serving the unit to ensure against any water damage in the event of a leak within the unit.
• Please provide courtesy notification to the association office of any visitors utilizing the unit in the unit owners absence, this serves as a security and safety function for both the unit and the association.
• Please provide the association with a phone number where you can be reached to ensure the association's ability to contact you in the event of an emergency within your unit.
• It is mandatory that the unit owner sets the units temperature control to 78-80 degrees to discourage the growth of mold or mildew within the unit or the exterior of the unit. * It is also a good idea to change your thermostat battery before you leave. If the battery dies, your ac will turn off.
• Please change your mailing address to your Northern Address with the association. All requests must be put in writing and can be emailed to Amy@sterlingpropertyfl.com.
• It is a good idea to have a homewatch company watching your home in your absence.
• Please remove fan blades from fans on your lanai – during storm season, these can become projectiles. Removed everything off of your lanai.
Library - New Addition
Michelle has worked very hard to fully stock the library in the business center. This of course was also achieved by homeowners donating books and audio tapes to the library. Thank you Michelle for organizing the donations and thank you to those homeowners that donated to the library.
Theater – DVD Library
A book case of DVDs has been put in the theater. If you take a movie out of the theater please remember to return it - thank you.
Front Fountain
The front fountain will be turned off every morning from midnight to 6 AM to save energy costs.
