106 Evergreen Drive

Auburndale, FL 33823

The meeting was called to order at 7:00 P.M. In attendance were Brian Starr, Scott Munroe, Pat Venezia and Michael Wasnorowicz. Also present was Bill Wallace.

Brian Starr made a motion to table the reading of all the previous board meeting minutes that had not been approved. Scott Munroe seconded. Everyone voted yes and the motion was passed.

The agenda for the upcoming members meeting was discussed. Mike Wasnorowicz noted that he was prepared for the explanation of the duties powers and responsibilities of the board and how a deed restricted community worked and what recourse members have. Brian Starr volunteered to make up an information sheet to let the members know who to contact on each board and HOA committee. This sheet would be distributed to the members at the meeting. It was decided to use the state of the HOA message from the last members meeting and add any current HOA happenings to it.

Setting up reserve accounts to earmark the 2005 budget surplus was discussed. It was decided to create a surplus account entitled "Reserve Account for Unforeseen Expenses. A motion was made by Brian Starr and seconded by Scott Munroe. Pat Venezia, Brian Starr and Scott Munroe all voted yes and the motion was passed to create the account and put the 2005 budget surplus into it.

Mike Wasnorowicz noted that the 2468 code had been removed from the gate codes. It was not known if other invalid codes had been removed yet.

Brian Starr had contacted Tim Robbins for an estimate in maintaining the HOA shrubbery. Tim had not gotten back to him yet. It was decided to table this issue to the next meeting.

Pressure washing the HOA fence in the front was discussed. Scott Munroe had begun looking into getting a company to pressure wash the fence. The board needs to determine if there is water available at the front because that would determine what contractor could be used. It was decided to table this issue to the next meeting.

The function of the architectural committee was discussed. It was stated that a homeowner must approach the committee with a written request for any improvement to their property. It was also noted that the architectural committee would then make recommendations to the board and that the board would make the decision and that the board has 15 days to make the decision or the improvement would be automatically approved according to the declaration. It was also stated that the homeowner needs to provide proof of their contractors license and insurance as a part of the improvement request. If there is not sufficient time for the board to approve a request, it was decided that the architectural committee could get approval from 3 board members independently with them signing off on the approval.

Pat Venezia also suggested that maybe a form could be developed to be used by members to request the board’s approval for future improvements. He mentioned that a previous HOA that he belonged to had used such a form. Brian Starr suggested that Pat look for the form so that the board could use it in designing their own. Past said he would look for the form.

It was noted that there were no unresolved old violations. It was noted that there are some dogs being allowed to urinate and defecate in some of the HOA common areas. It was noted that the dogs in question belonged to someone at 115 Evergreen. It was determined that the board would send a letter to the homeowner warning them of the violation.

It was mentioned that the two remaining construction electric boxes had been disconnected and that Pat had removed the one box and after warning Maronda Homes and having no response, he threw it in the trash. It was also noted that there is anothter box at 114 Shaddock Drive that needs to be removed.

The board decided that they would resume meeting on the first Monday night of each month instead of the first Friday night. Scott Munroe volunteered his house for the meetings.

It was noted that David Brunner was planning on resigning from the board at the members meeting on January 13, 2006. Possible replacements were discussed. It was decided that volunteers would be asked for at the members meeting. It was also discussed that eventually a new gatekeeper may need to be appointed. It was not determined if a gatekeeper is necessary. As far as programming the gate, the board would agree on someone to do that function.

Brian Starr spoke of the possibility of the board looking into a class action suit against Maronda home for misrepresenting the realistic annual membership dues. He stated that Maronda never mentioned how the $200 annual fees would never cover the cost of the HOA with the TECO contract included in the annual HOA expenses. Mike Wasnorowicz volunteered to contact Stanley Wines and Associates to discuss the plausibility of a class action suit.

Scott Munroe made motion to adjourn the meeting. Brian Starr seconded the motion. All the board members voted yes and the motion was carried. Thee meeting was adjourned at 8:30PM
