¨      Approval of the Minutes:

Jim Jackson stated that the name Ashplund might be spelt wrong and it would have to be checked out later.

Dave Mastran stated that the Association’s law firm should be named as well as the attorney’s full name.  He then asked if letters had been sent out by the Board regarding the decisions made during the Architectural Committee’s Report.  Dave then asked what happened to change the funding under landscaping, stating that the minutes should indicate that the $57,000 was being re-allocated to a general fund for community improvements.  He then mentioned that he wasn’t able to glean any information under: New Business, he wanted to know what the informational meeting was all about and Chris and Tony told him.  Dave also mentioned that the minutes should reflect who votes which way when a motion is opened.  Pete Lashenka stated that it would be done going forward. Glenn Levine made a motion to accept the July 12th, 2004 minutes as amended; Blas Contreras seconded the motion. Pete Lashenka, Chris Cox, Trish Estabrook, Blas Contreras, Tom Wajdowicz, Wayne Hatten, Jim Jackson and Glenn Levine approved the minutes, Dave Mastran abstained.  The motion passed.

 

¨      Treasurer’s Report:

Glenn Levine reported that as of July 31st, 2004 total assets were $72,967.44 that included $64,300.74 in the checking and money market account, and $8,666.70 in accounts receivables; net income to date was $19,695.84.  Five individuals were delinquent in paying their dues, they’ve all received certified letters requesting that they pay and they’ve declined.  The next step is to give their names and addresses to Theresa M. Lemme (the Association’s attorney) at the law firm of St. John, Core & Lemme, P.A., upon which the attorney will send a “demand letter”.  As for John Karembelas, the owner of 2058 Radnor Court who is behind by 3 years, Glenn stated that he had seen the final demand letter sent by Theresa M. Lemme, but to date didn’t know the status.  He would report back to the board with the follow up.

 

¨      Architectural Committee Report:

Dave Mastran stated that he didn’t have anything new to report.  Jim Jackson asked if the Architectural Committee had written the letters to Joseph Schimek and Mr. and Mrs. David Light.  A discussion ensued regarding the writing of the letters.  Pete Lashenka stated that the letters would have to be sent out within the next few days.

 

¨      Covenant’s Committee Report:

In an attempt to discern who the chairman was of the Covenant’s committee, Blas Contreras or Dave Mastran, Dave Mastran announced his resignation from both the Architectural Review and the Covenant’s Committees stating that his workload was overwhelming.  Hence it was clarified that Blas Contreras is the Chairman.  Bob Kildea, residing at 2063 Ascott Circle, had put together a proposal entitled “Draft CV4”  regarding violations of the covenants.  Blas stated that he has been giving out the County Violation Code Enforcement’s telephone number to anyone who calls him with complaints.  Jim Jackson suggested that Blas draft a Covenant’s Violation letter and submit it to the Board via e-mail for review.  It was determined that a meeting of the Covenant’s Committee would meet the following Monday night at 7:00 to discuss specific violations; attached roofs, commercial vehicles, boats and trailers, language, concepts and enforcement.  Blas asked Bob Kildea if he would like to join Kathy Greene, Jack Topalian and himself and be apart of the committee.  He said yes.  While this was to be a workshop committee meeting, it was open to the public.  Jim Jackson requested that they consider an article for the newsletter also.

 

¨      Crime Watch Committee Report:

Tom Wajdowicz reported that on July 5th the Sheriff’s Department reported that they gave out 14 speeding tickets – with the highest speed of 60 MPH.

 

¨      Social Committee Report:

Trish Estabrook had nothing new to report.  Jim Jackson (via e-mail) had requested that Trish and Tom Wajdowicz put a group together (that included the crime watch captains) to put out a “Good News” page in the newsletter.  The pizza party was brought up again; meet the Board Members and possible candidates for the Board and discuss the possible changes to the covenants.  Trish was advised to consider the dates between the 18th and the 22nd of October.  Wayne suggested that Trish look into venues for the event such as County Line Pizza, the second story of Duffy’s, the Original House of Pancakes, the park or Ocean View Methodist Church.

 

¨      Landscape Committee Report:

Glenn Levine reported that the front island landscape was complete, the irrigation was 90% in, the electrical was in, it passed the inspection by the County and he was waiting for FP&L to put the meter in within the next two days.  He stated that he had absolutely no response from landscapers regarding the installation of a Bottle Palm.  Wayne Hatten asked if some of the plantings don’t make it would the landscapers replace it?  Glenn said he didn’t know and he’d have to follow up on that.

 

¨      Web-site Committee Report:

Pete Lashenka reported on the web-site.  The month of June had four times the amount of “hits” than May.  Visitors to the site were primarily looking at the plans of the master community improvements.

 

¨      Secretary’s Report:

Jim Jackson proposed that all articles be pulled together within the next two weeks (by the 16th of August).

Chris Cox suggested putting in new neighbors – include the street they moved onto – as a welcome to the neighborhood.  Dave Mastran suggested putting in some historical articles that should be periodically run– Jim stated he’d get in touch with Pam.  Jim is looking for two newsletters, one in August and one in September.

 

 

¨      Old Business:

Glenn Levine stated that Rod Maken (sp?) called regarding the sub-station.  Rod offered to come to the September 13th Board Meeting and show the plans.  Pete Lashenka stated that the 5 distribution lines would all be underground, there would be no changes to the EMF (noise), nor would there be any radio interference, there would be a berm and foliage to cover the facility.  Jim Jackson volunteered to look into another venue for the September meeting since many residents might be inclined to hear about it.

Wayne Hatten asked if Olen was going to maintain everything on the front island – the trees, the plantings, the lawn?  Glenn volunteered to call up Danny Olen, inform him that the front island was installed and tell him that the Associations’ understanding (per the contract) was that Olin was bound to fully maintain it.

 

 

 

¨      New Business:

Chris Cox volunteered to be on the Architectural Committee.  The Architectural Committee now consisted of Wayne Hatten, Trish Estabrook and Chris Cox.  Pete Lashenka asked the committee to get back to him on who would chair the committee.

 

Glenn Levine made a motion to adjourn the meeting.  Wayne Hatten seconded the motion.  The motion passed unanimously.

 

The meeting adjourned at 8:51

 

Respectfully submitted,
