Auburndale Firehouse

Auburndale, FL 33823

The meeting was called to order at 7:06 P.M. In attendance were board members: Brian Starr, Ty Baden, Scott Munroe and Mike Wasnorowicz. Also present were: Kevin & Rose Gervase, Julie Flowerdew, Juan Adames, Bill & Joan Wallace, Jeff Gervase, Susan Wasnorowicz, Susan Whitney, Diane Thyben, Michele Adsamson, Marie Just and Kim Beasley.

The minutes from the last members meeting held January 13, 2006, were read. Rose Gervase made a motion to approve the minutes. Jeff Gervase seconded the motion. A vote was taken and the majority of the members voted to approve the minutes.

Brian gave his state of the estates address noting all the improvements and repairs that had been made in the community. He noted that an HOA webpage had been created and an arbitration committee formed. Also noted were the two court cases pending for unrectified violations and the fact that DBPR had not yet rendered a decision concerning the recall petition. The impending installment of the previously approved speed bumps was also noted. Mike Wasnorowicz added that of the 23 violations found during the community survey in July that all but 2 violations had been rectified. Included in those violations were several lawns that have since been resodded or reclaimed.

It was noted that the board of director’s position presently held by Brian Starr had expired and that nominations and/or volunteers would be considered for that position. Mike Wasnorowicz nominated Brian Starr for that position and asked for other candidates. Since there were none, a motion was made by Ty Baden to elect Brian Starr to the board of directors for another 3 years. Scott Munroe seconded the motion. A vote was taken and the majority of the members voted to approve the motion thereby electing Brian Starr to the board for another 3 years. It was also noted that Jose Arroyo had recently resigned his position on the board, but that position would be filled with an appointment by the board.

The floor was opened to the members for new business. Diane Thyben asked how the original annual dues went from $200 per year to $450 per year. Mike Wasnorowicz explained that the original $200 dues were artificially low. It was discovered in March of 2005 by Lakeland Properties & Management Inc. that the current dues would only pay half of the HOA’s expenses. The board passed a special assessment of $200 to correct the budget deficit for 2005. The 2006 dues were raised to $400 per year to avoid another special assessment and to cover that year’s expenses. The annual dues for 2007 were raised to $450 in anticipation of a large increase in insurance costs and hopefully averting another special assessment. It was also noted that the legal expenses for the HOA would be more in 2007 because of the recall petition. .

Kevin Gervase asked about the status of the Teco streetlight contract. It was noted that Brian Starr had researched the issue during the year and discovered that the lights were being leased and the HOA would have to decide what to do about the lights at the end of the lease term. It was noted that when that time came all options would be entertained.

There was a discussion concerning the security of the community in light of a recent robbery and loitering arrest.

Ty Baden made a motion to adjourn the meeting. Scott Munroe seconded the motion.

A vote was taken and the majority of the members voted to adjourn the meeting. The meeting was adjourned at 7:58 PM.
