VIOLATION STATUS
Violations were not sent out for January due to the many issues in the violation log.
HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY GRANT
The grant to improve the lighting at the front entrance has been approved for $2500. We will have to meet with the county before starting the work, and we will have until August 31 to complete the improvements.
DRAINAGE EASEMENT ISSUE
SWFWMD came out and determined that there is a drainage issue behind 3009, 3011, 3013, and 3015 Minuteman and that it is not as was permitted. SWFWMD will send us the original plans to show what was permitted. We will be contacting engineers with those plans to determine what the drainage solution should be; SWFWMD is requiring a gravity solution instead of a mechanical solution.
2013 PROJECTS
1. Spring update and cleanup of the front entrance including mulch, plants, and irrigation – We will start to organize this in March.
2. Pressure wash and paint the wall and sign at the front entrance – The pressure washing is done, and the wall is ready to be painted.
3. Trim the trees hanging over the street at the intersection of Minuteman and Red Coat and along the fence at the north end of Minuteman before the cul-de-sac – This was finished two weeks ago at a cost of $550, which also included under some street lights.
4. The proposal for the park benches at the pond has been put on hold. This may be more expensive than expected.

The board approved a budget of $250 for the block party, which is currently scheduled for Saturday, April 6.

PROPERTY MANAGEMENT
The board voted to change property management companies at the end of our current contract. On April 1, we will be changing from KRPM to Home Encounter.
