It was noted that all the board members had read the minutes from the July 2007 board meeting. Brian Starr made a motion to approve the minutes from the July 2007 board meeting. Julie Flowerdew seconded the motion. Julie Flowerdew, Brian Starr and Ty Baden voted yes and the minutes were approved.
It was noted that there were no ARC forms to discuss or approve.
Julie Flowerdew reported that the lawns of 110, 112, 121 and 134 Evergreen had been sprayed by the chemical company and that the invoices had been forwarded to Lakeland Properties Management Inc. for payment and for billing the appropriate members. She also noted that 102 Shaddock had hired their own chemical company. She also noted that the front grass area had also been sprayed as previously decided by the board.
Ty Baden reported that he and Julie Flowerdew had repaired the irrigation system and that all that was needed were two sprinkler heads. Julie was instructed to take the money out of petty cash and get two new heads.
Brian Starr reported that he had contacted SWFTMD and found out that the next certification for the HOA’s retention ponds was October 17, 2009.
It was noted that we had received the decision from DBPR to deny the HOA’s petition to be reimbursed for the legal fees accrued for last year’s recall petition. DBPR ruled that HOA’s are not entitled to legal expenses in cases like this.
It was noted that Avelo Mortgage L.L.C. now owned 100 Shaddock Drive and had not paid the annual dues. The board decided that they needed to be warned that if payment were not received, there would be a lien filed on the property.
It was noted that there were two members who had not paid any of their annual dues for 2007. Mike Wasnorowicz recommended that these members be sent a letter explaining that if their payments were not forthcoming that the HOA would begin foreclosure proceedings
It was noted that there were three new violations during the month and that letters had been sent and the violations rectified.
The amendment ballots and voting process were discussed. It was noted that a preliminary tally showed that no amendment had passed with the votes that had been received to date and that the fence amendment was the only amendment that had a chance to pass. It was noted that not all the ballots had been received. It was also noted that some members wanted to change their vote because of confusing amendment language. The board decided to allow any member wanting to change their vote to do so. The board also agreed to allow the members who had not voted until the next board meeting on September 5, 2007 to cast their vote and that the final tally would take place at that meeting. In the interim, it was agreed that the board and Tatiana would verify each vote on the fence amendment for the existing votes.
Brian Starr made a motion to adjourn the meeting. Ty Baden seconded the motion. Everyone voted yes and the meeting was adjourned at 8:10 PM.
