909 Charlemagne---outside renovations being done without ARB approval. A violation letter was sent with no response. J. Furgasso motions to fine the resident $100. P. Mullins seconds. Ayes all. The letter regarding the fine will be sent to the Naples and Pennsylvania addresses.

Old Business:

• 1.   Electric-underground line is broken---bids have been obtained to trench and bury a new wire with FPL approval. B. Delaney states very few companies are willing to do this job for various reasons. Community Electric’s bid is $4800. B. Kean motions to go ahead with this company and P. Langford seconds. J. Furgasso opposes. The motion is carried.

• 2.  Asphalt paving in the main parking lot---two bids have been obtained and after some discussion, it was decided that B.

•  
• 3.  Fitness update---the parts have been ordered for the treadmill

New Business:

• 1.  Dumpster gates---the dumpster for the clubhouse has been overrun with garbage from residents’ personal property. One bid was obtained to have hinged gates with a lock to close off the dumpster to outsiders’ trash. L. Bulat and B.
