Update - January 30th, 2012
Flowers
The replacement flowers will be installed this week. There was 36 that need to be replaced. The areas where they will be replaced at are at the entrance, east tower and a few by the pool. The replacement plants will also be treated for fungus so this doesn’t happen again. As I stated before these replacements are at no cost to the association.
Back Gate Codes
It's that time again. The Back gate codes will be changing Monday February 6th, 2012. If you did not receive an email with the new gate code, please let me know.
Pet Owners
This is just a reminder to pick up after your dog. Picking up after your dog is not just a rule for the association, it is also for the health or your dogs and other dogs in the community. Please see link below reporting that Lee County has seen a rise in the Canine-Parvo virus.

Recycling Bins
Please remember there are designated bins for certain items
such as glass, paper, cardboard and styrofoam . Please break down all boxes.
Water Leaks
If you experience a water leak (dishwasher, washing machine,
laundry tubs, shower drain pans ect) please let me know. This way we can make
sure no other units were affected and if the association needs to get involved.
Men’s Steam Room
The plumber has spoken to the manufacturer and they feel it
is the scale build up on the probes causing the problem. Water Works will be
back out here on Monday to remove the probes and clean them off. At that time
they will also inspect the supply line filter and piping to make sure they are
clear as well. I will send out an update on Monday.

Landscape
We have about 20 flowers at the front entrance that have root fungus. Greenscapes will be replacing these flowers at no charge to the Association. As soon as they have a date on when they will be installed, I will send it out in a blog.
Alarm Panels
The alarm company has silenced the alarm panels in the clubhouse and both tower lobbies while they finish up with the inspection. They will be done tomorrow. This way the panel will not beep that has been causing owners, guest, perspective buyers and vendors to be alarmed or concerned.
Garage Security Bars
I just wanted to take the time to explain a few delays we have had with the Garage Security Bars. First of all, Gulf Coast Metal Works had a delay with the holidays on getting paper work over to the office in order for a check to be cut for the deposit. The check was cut at the end of December and fabrication on the bars started. When I spoke to them on January 12th they still had about 4 more days with the fabricators and another 4-5 days for powder coating. I spoke to the company earlier this week and they are having a few issues with the powder coating. They will be out today to get a better match of what we already have existing for the garage bars on the first floor. We are looking at an install of late next week. I should know an exact date early next week and will post in a blog.
Men’s Steam Room
Water Works was here this morning to look at the steam room. Unfortunately, he was unable to fix it while he was here and is going back to the office to speak to the manufacturer. He believed it is the control board that is causing the problem and if that is the case, he will have it overnighted and installed at the beginning of next week. I will keep everyone update when more information because available.
Jan-Pro Schedule
With two weeks of the new crew working at North Star, they have been able to set out a schedule for the floors. Below is the schedule. The cleaners will try their best to adhere to the schedule but please keep in mind there might be times where they get behind due to things out of their control
like weather, emergency’s or other little things that we might need them for. I will know when this happens since they keep a log book for the floors. The days that only two floors are done, they also work on the stairwells so that all the stairs are cleaned once a month. And on Friday we have two cleaners hence the extra floors.
Monday: East Tower Floors 3,4,5
Tuesday: East Tower Floors 6,7,8
Wednesday: East Tower Floors 9,10
Thursday: East Tower Floors 11,12, PH
Friday: West Tower Floors 3,4,5,6,7,8
Saturday: West Tower Floors 9,10,11
Sunday: West Tower Floors 12, PH

Tomorrow, January 26th, 2012 the alarm company will be making sure the recall works for all the elevators.

One elevator per tower will always be in service for residents use, it just might be a little slower after you call it since all residents will be using the one. I appreciated your patience.

Theater Reservations
402E has reserved the Theater for Friday, January 20th from 5 PM to 11 PM.
Clarification on the Committee's Report/Plan for the Grill Location at last week's Board Meeting
Beach Area – The Committee presented their idea for the beach area with a gazebo and paver path way and possible grilling areas located at both towers by the garden. The Committee should have a proposal to the Board prior to the next board meeting.
The grill location that the committee recommended was not in the beach area but in the garden areas at both towers. If you don’t know where the garden area is, please let me know and I can point it out to you. Of course, the Board has not approved anything at this time because the committee has not given a proposal to the board. We are hoping to have a proposal for review prior to the next board meeting from the committee.

Response to NSYC Shutterfly Website Posted by Marlene Laskey
The Clubhouse will not able to be reserved on the following Holidays:
New Years Eve, New Years Day, Easter, Fourth of July, Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve and Christmas Day
Homeowners brought this to the Board's attention before the end of the year with the theater reserved on New Years Eve by a homeowner. A lot of the homeowners wanted to have a Homeowner New Years Eve party and felt some Holidays should be left open for all homeowners. The Board considered this and at the Board meeting held on January 11th, the Board voted to put this into the rules and Regulations.

Back Gate Codes

With Michelle out today and tomorrow, I was not able to post reservations to the Shutterfly website so I am posting them in the blog instead.
Tonight, January 5th from 8 to 10 PM the theater is reserved for 608W.
Saturday Night, January 7th from 6:30 to 11 PM the clubhouse and card room is reserved for 1102E

Missing Plant
On Tuesday, it was reported to us by our inside plant company that one of the plants in the clubhouse is missing. If you move one of the plants for a party, please remember to move it back. We have searched the lobbies, clubhouse and closets and have not been able to locate it. If you have it, or know where it is, please return it or let me know. If it does not show up, the company will be charging the association for the missing plant.

Update - Jan 3rd, 2012
Happy New Year Everyone!
Dog Etiquette
When you take your dog outside, please remember the dog needs to be on a leash at all times while on the common property. This is for the safety of your dog, other dogs and residents. We are still having issues with owners not picking up their dog's waste. If you are a dog owner, please make sure every time the dog is taken out that the waste is picked up and discarded in one of the pet stations trash can.
Reservation Notices
Please do not remove the reservation notices that are posted at the theater, billiards and card room. In the last two weeks we have had two reservation notices removed from the door and people other than the party that reserved it using the area.
Super Sliders – Resident Recommendation (originally posted October 13th, 2010)
We have gotten complaints from residents regarding noise coming from the upstairs when chairs or furniture are being moved around on the tile. One of North Star’s Residents provided me with some information on furniture sliders that they have used in their condo. The name of this product is Super Sliders by Waxman. They can be found at Lowes or Home Depot for just over $4 for 4 of them. They are self sticking and are to be applied to each leg. They eliminate the noise you hear when sliding a chair across the floor.
*This is just a reminder since we have been getting calls from owners complaining about noise from units above them*
Flowers
Due to the frost warning for Lee County, Greenscapes will be covering the plants with frost cloth this afternoon.
Email
My email was not working earlier today, I was able to send emails but not received them. It is now working fine but I apologize for the delayed response in answering the emails that were sent yesterday and this morning.
