v Old Business

The Stropp fence negotiations continue. Kathy contacted the Stropps and submitted a written understanding to Scott Gherman, Association attorney, to draft an agreement. The Association has not yet received a draft agreement from Scott.

v New Business

• Wayne said The Board needs to talk to the Association attorney as soon as possible about Juno Isles status as a possible enclave. Last week, Wayne was told that since the Town of Juno Beach is maintaining the Donald Ross bridge meridian, Juno Isles is now an enclave. Wayne said he had been told that the WCI project is following procedures to be annexed into Juno Beach.

A resident said he did some research on annexation in Juno Beach. He said that in 2002 the area on this side of the intracoastal, South of Donald Ross Road, could be annexed by two different entities. In 2004 Juno Beach annexed everything east of Ellison Wilson, Donald Ross and Rolling Green. But they did not annex Donald Ross up to the bridge, west of Ellison Wilson.

Wayne made a motion that Kathy contact the Association attorney and request a written document before the annual meeting stating if Juno Isles is or is not an enclave. His concern is that once a community becomes an enclave, a state law forces the community to be included in the municipalities that surround the enclave.

Kathy said that when Wayne contacted her last week, she sent an email to Karen Marcus, listing the questions he just brought up. She has not received a response. Kathy said the Board would be asking the attorney to research the deeds of properties surrounding Juno Isles to determine if they are unincorporated. Resident Ed Knapp said County Commissioner Karen Marcus granted The Town of Juno Beach permission to place a sign on the East side of the Donald Ross bridge since it is a county bridge.

Dave expressed that it was a good idea to have Juno Isles status documented by the Association attorney so the Board would be prepared to answer any questions asked by the residents at the annual meeting. Dave seconded the motion. All were in favor and the motion passed unanimously.

• Ed Knapp asked, “How high can a resident grow hedges? How high can a tree be?” Wayne said hedges can be up to 8 feet. Kathy said there is no height restriction for trees. Ed said a neighbor’s tree is interfering with utility lines. Wayne said the utility lines are on an easement and the utility company has to maintain them. Ed said the utility company could not access the tree. Wayne said he would talk to the neighbor. Dave said it is the responsibility of the utility companies to maintain their lines. Kathy advised Ed to contact the utility companies.

v Treasurer’s Report – Wayne Hatten

Wayne reported a balance of $70,316.69 in Anchorage Commercial Bank. The account earned $210.52 interest this month. 34 homeowners have not yet paid 2007 assessments. He is attempting to contact homeowners personally, rather than implementing penalties and interest, since most homeowners respond that they simply forgot to pay. Shelley said a second notice should go out right away. Wayne said he plans to send second notices before the annual meeting.

v Committee Reports

• Architectural Committee – Wayne Hatten

October 26, 2007 Committee meeting - Plans were reviewed and approved for a pool fence at 1812 Ascott Road.

A homeowner submitted plans for approval a couple of days ago and Wayne asked committee members to meet as soon as possible. Committee members discussed it, but did not schedule a meeting.

• Covenants Committee – Blas Contreras

Doug reported in Blas’s absence. A list was submitted to the Board of November violations and notices that were sent.

• Crime Watch – Tom Wajdowicz

Sheriff’s report for September was discussed.

• Social Committee – Shelley Green and Dinah Washam

Shelley said the picnic went very well with 100 adults and 50 children. The only set back was that the bounce house was not delivered until 4:00, so the Association was not charged for it. Attendance, distribution of leftover food and catering options were discussed.

Kathy asked if the social committee will be providing coffee and doughnuts at the annual meeting, and Shelley said they would. Kathy suggested that if liquor is served at a community function, a one-day insurance rider may be required.

Shelley questioned that access to the storage unit has been changed. Wayne explained that the Board decided only officers should have access. Kathy said Shelley needs to contact an officer, preferably the secretary, to go to storage with her.

Shelley said there were liability issues last year with Juno Isles residents putting up the holiday lights. Kathy said she would research it. December 1st was discussed as the date for decorating. Dave said ‘the sooner, the better’.

• Landscape Committee - Douglas Acker

Wayne questioned the status of the light on the flag. Wayne said he would go to storage and find the paperwork for past maintenance.

Kathy confirmed with the Board that there was money budgeted a couple of years ago to replace the Juno Isles signs. The Board agreed that the work will be continued until after the elections of new Board members.

v Adjournment

Shelley made a motion to adjourn. Dave seconded the motion. All were in favor and the motion passed unanimously. The meeting adjourned at 8:10 p.m.

Respectfully submitted,

Rhonda Thomas
