The Board met on June 26, 2018 and for those residents unable to attend, here is an unofficial recap of the meeting. The official minutes will be approved at the next meeting and made available on this site.

Quorum was established, proper posting of meeting notice was verified and minutes of prior meeting were approved.

Six residents requested to speak in the open forum. Topics included safety issues, speeding, parking, email distribution of meeting notices, replacing plants that froze in the winter, water retention situation on Fox Sparrow at corner of KB development, and chemicals the landscaper is using.

The President’s report addressed use of chemicals by the landscaper, that parking on the street and children playing in the streets are safety issues and also against our rules, completion of a SWFWMD document regarding the transfer of the 2 southern ponds to Westchase, that we are on the TECO list for an LED streetlight quote, water retention situation on Fox Sparrow being reviewed by KB, and that the Board is required to enforce the rules in the community.

The Secretary-Treasurer’s report noted that net income YTD is $26,706.65, which is due to being significantly under budget YTD for water usage.

The Spirit Committee reported that the International Mixer was a success, that the next newsletter will be emailed and posted on the website, and that the next event is a Back to School social on August 25.

ARC applications were discussed and ratified as approved or disapproved.

Members were selected for the Covenants Enforcement and Grounds Committees.

Review of landscape proposals was tabled until the next meeting.

Posting of surveys on Facebook and Nextdoor was discussed and it was decided that neither will be used as a platform for surveys.

It was decided that posts to Facebook will now need admin approval before posting. Changing the Facebook page to make it a communication tool for the Spirit Committee was discussed. The Spirit Committee will consider this at their meeting this week and will respond at the next Board meeting.

Changes and clarification to current parking rules and enforcement of rules was discussed. An amendment to the Book of Standards to address parking issues was discussed and approved. The Management Company is in the process of creating a mailer to be sent on this and a post of the amendment on the website will be forthcoming.

Identifying units that are being rented was discussed, as our documents require a refundable security deposit for rentals and we currently only have deposits for 4 units, although more are currently rented.

Look for some additional posts with more detail to be posted later today.
