Q&A's with Kyle Hebert from PCI Storm Water Solutions, Inc. - Kyle explained the importance of cleaning out the lines before performing the pipeline video inspections so that the lines are free from any dirt and debris and any issues can be clearly identified. The entire inspection would be recorded, issues found would be detailed and the cost for any necessary repairs would be provided. The pipeline video inspection can and should be considered a general maintenance item. Kyle was asked to prepare a proposal for the storm sewer lines only. Property Manager was asked to contact Seacoast Utility Authority to see if they offer any type of pipeline video inspection of the sanitary sewer lines. Property Manager also asked to get an additional bid, or two, from other service providers.
President's Report - C. Hagger presented a proposed approach to gaining approval for capital expenditures from the membership. G. Walk made a motion to amend the declarations to change the requirement for authorization of capital expenses exceeding 2% of the budget to a simple majority of members voting at an annual or special meeting of members, or by written consent, provided that a quorum (consisting of a majority of members) is voting whether in attendance or by proxy. A. Abramow seconded the motion, all in favor, none opposed, motion carried. G. Walk made a motion to change the requirement for authorization of amendments to the declaration or bylaws to 662/3% of members voting at an annual or special meeting of members, or by written consent, provided that a quorum (consisting of a majority of members) is voting whether in attendance or by proxy. A. Abramow seconded the motion, all in favor, none opposed, motion carried. G. Walk will follow up with the association's attorney regarding amendments.
Treasurer's Report - T. Wilcox provided a written report (attached) and made a motion to have Seacrest Services publish (on their website) the monthly delinquency reports for Board members ONLY to view. J. Simon seconded the motion, all in favor, none opposed, motion carried.
Interview Committee - B. Lentini met with five new residents. Three rentals and two sales, one sale in the Estates and the other in Lalique.
Landscaping Committee - The new hedge row near the clubhouse parking lot and the new flowers that the Property Manager chose look great. The grass is starting to look great too, a lot less weeds are seen. A. Abramow said she will present ideas and pricing for new tables & chairs for the pool area at the next board meeting.
Hearings Committee - T. Dellolio reported that there was no need to hold a meeting this month. Looking for an additional person to join the committee to replace Sheldon Haas who is moving.
Security Report - T. Miller held a routine staff meeting with the gate attendants on 5/10. There have been no security issues in the community to speak of. There is one new gate attendant in training. Gates and security cameras are working properly. Board was asked if they would like to continue the roving patrol from 7:00 pm until 11:00 pm every night during the summer months, which has been done in the past, to ensure that kids are not "hanging out" in the clubhouse, or at the pool area, after dark. Board agreed to continue with the extra "security".
