Establish a Quorum: Present Karen Denmark, President, Bob Gedmin, Vice-President, Diane Juneau, Treasurer and Stewart Winton, Secretary. Maurisa Solomon, Director was not present. Also present were Bob Gelles and Diane Caro from Schoo Management.

Approval of Minutes: Diane Juneau made a motion to approve the previous Board meeting minutes with corrections and Bob Gedmin seconded the motion. The motion carried unanimously.

Treasurer’s Report: Diane Juneau expressed her concern about the monthly financials not being prepared until the 20th of the month, with this concern in mind she requested that the Board meetings be changed to the fourth (4th) Thursday of the month at 3:00 P.M. The Board members agreed. At the next meeting Diane will be able to update the members for the months of July and August. Delinquencies were discussed, Bob Gelles explained that a letter is sent after 15 days, a $25.00 late fee is applied after 30 days, and after 45 days it is sent to the Attorney for collections. The Association had a major expense in irrigation. An entire new zone was added to the property bordering the Creek which was restored by the District. New fill was added and new sod planted by the District. However, Pinewater needed to provide irrigation to that newly restored area. The cost was $2,219.48. Diane suggested that this expense be taken from the Capital Account rather than the Operating Account. Karen made a motion to pay for the new irrigation zone at the cost of $2,219.48 out of the Capital account and Bob seconded the motion. The motion carried. The CD of $8350.has matured. The Board requested that Schoo Management research the rates for a short-term or risk free CD to reinvest. Diane reported that the budget should be watched very closely so as not to cause a special assessment. .

UOC Report: The UOC has passed the budgets on to PLCA for approval. WCI discussed its plans for the Coconut Rd. vacation at the PLCA Board meeting. They are willing to allow for a canoe launch area. They still request PLCA support for the vacation of the road; however they are not willing to yet put it in writing that PLCA residents will get usage of the dock as it now stands. The concern is that the bus will have access. Nothing was decided.

Committee Reports: a) Landscaping – Ed Colby of Tropical Gardens has not been reached. Bob Gelles is to continue trying to set up an appointment for next Thursday’s walk around. The park area is drying out; Ricky was called to check the irrigation. He reset the rain gauge and timer. There is a serious lawn condition by the Engert’s and the Sheets. Jim of Rapid Pest Control was requested by Mr. Engert to spray weed killer. In the future, no resident will be allowed to give orders to the contractors. Karen made a motion that if the lawn that was sprayed by Rapid Pest at the insistence of Mr. Engert does not show improvement by August 31st, 2006, Mr.Engert must replace the dead grass with new sod by September 15th, 2006 If this is not complied with the Association will replace the sod and bill Mr. Engert. Stewart seconded the motion. The motion carried unanimously.

All contractors will be instructed in the future not to take requests from any residents that are either against their professional judgment or would ultimately cost the Association extra funds. The contractors must receive prior approval from the Management Company or Board. Residents are to send their requests of contractors to Shoo Management. The broken lighting fixtures on the common island will be repaired. The photo cells and lights that seem not to be in working order will be checked. b) ARB – There were no requests. c) Social – The social chairperson has resigned. The new chairperson will be Klovers Johnson.

Old Business: Paul Schroeder has completed all the repairs due to the damage done by the roof washers. All residents have released the association in writing and Josh McDonald has been paid for his services. Bob Gelles is to continue to research roofing companies that will algaecide the roofs. b) Entrance sign – the only maintenance required for the new entrance sign is a sealant once every six months. A handyman can do this.

New Business: There was no new business.

Community Input: Mr. Engert had complaints about the dying grass; his instructions to Rapid Pest Control were to spray his property only. He does not feel he is responsible for damage done to any other property. He now wants his property staked.

The Park irrigation timer photocell should be checked by Ricky Leon. Karen announced there would be PLCA joint meeting with UOC at the Hyatt on Sept. 20th at 9 AM All residents are invited. The next Pinewater Board meeting will be on Sept. 28th at 3 PM at the Tennis Center. PiPi Palmer thanked the Board for all their hard work on behalf of the community. It certainly is appreciated.
