Suggestions/complaints:

• 6.  Kerbacher--32 LeMans--the house has been washed.
• 7.   Dwight Kehoe wants to have a representative from the Collier County water department attend one of our board meetings regarding the back-flow meters. The board denied this request and stated that it should be a separate meeting for the residents interested. Dwight will advertise this special meeting in the April newsletter.

Old Business:

• 1.  Clubhouse floor bid…a representative from Flooring Gallery spoke regarding the types of tile for the kitchen/clubhouse. After much discussion by board members, it was decided that no action be taken at this time. B. Kean motions to review this in three years. No second was made. K. Randazzo motions to review this next year. P. Langford seconds. Ayes all.
• 2.   Baer--2 cats in the home. A letter is being sent regarding this violation.

New Business:

• 1.   Median crossover---the Board of Directors has proposed to the Department of Roads & Bridges to consider making a "cut-thru" in the median strip leading directly into our clubhouse parking lot. A well-defined letter and schematic, composed by P. Langford and L. Bulat was sent to the proper representative. We are awaiting a reply.
• 2.   Pool table update---a used pool table was purchased for the annex building and is now in use. A thank-you card from the pool players was well received by the Board of Directors.
• 3.   Daley Lawn Care---they have received an okay to sod and put in three sprinkler heads at the rear of the pool equipment and this has yet to be completed. R. Hartline will look into this with Daley.

Audience Participation:

• 1.  D. Kehoe spoke regarding the purchase of a projector and movie screen. Apparently there are no co-operative vendors in the area and the Computer Club has decided to investigate buying equipment separately.
• 2.  W. Horsewood states there is debris/bikes in the driveway at 94 LeMans and a brown lawn at 151 Estelle. The water has already been turned on for watering at that residence.

Director's Input:

• 1.  P. Mullins spoke about future budgeting of monies for re-vamping the kitchen in the near future.
• 2.  L. Bulat will delegate to each board member that they each take one month to check on lawns, light posts, etc. A schedule will be forthcoming.
