Suggestions/complaints:

• A. Dwight Kehoe, chairman of the ARB, discussed the revisions of ARB request forms. Samples of the new request form were given to the board members for perusal.
• B. Lloyd James complaining of abandoned home/property at 7 LeMans. Stray cats and other animals living under the home, high weeds and grass all over. The home is in foreclosure and the board will find out who is responsible for this residence.

Old Business:

• A. Violation/fines
  1. 1. Melick...child in home...the resident has until the end of February 2009 to remove the child from the home...at this point there is a perspective buyer for the home.
  2. 2. Delaney...post light violation...L. Bulat and B. Kean will go to small claims for the fourth and hopefully the last time to settle this matter with the judge.
  3. 3. Dean...two dogs...resident to meet with the violations committee 12/17/08
• B. Audit...the only infraction noted by the audit firm was the fact that we do not include the manager’s/social account on our financial statement. After reviewing this matter, J. Rickert motioned to proceed as usual. K. Randazzo second. Ayes all.
• C. Clubhouse floor...each board member spoke and gave their opinion regarding replacing the floor. J. Rickert motions to get bids for the kitchen floor only and leave the main floor as is. J. Furgasso seconds. Ayes all.

New Business:

• Pest Control...we have received several bids for a new pest control company. It was decided to let Truly Nolen continue their services until the expiration of their contract at the end of July, 2009. Middleton Pest Control will service the annex building until the end of July, 2009 at which time a new yearly contract for all our buildings will be reviewed and voted on. K. Randazzo motions to accept the bid from Middleton. J. Rickert seconds. Ayes all.
• RPM Home Services...a proposal was given to the board for minor numerous repairs on the annex building. J. Rickert motions to hire RPM for this particular job. K. Randazzo seconds. Ayes all.
• Frank Fones & TJ Building...proposals for the cementing of the grass/weed area housed in the pool area. All board members were asked to inspect the area and this will be voted on at the next board meeting.

Audience Participation:

• Mrs. Armstrong presented a "drug card" that can save people money on their prescriptions if they have no insurance. She was asked to place this information in the next newsletter.
• Ginny Kehoe suggested our monthly activities and photos be posted on the bulletin boards in order to increase participation for these events.
• Tom Savage had several questions about the pest control.
• Arnie Hendricks asked who was responsible for the build up of water in the swales. He was informed that the county is responsible.
• Ron Coughlin asked about the termite problem in the annex. The termite problem has been corrected.

Director's Input:

• R. Hartline informed the board of a new federally mandated law regarding our pool: Federal legislature passed the Virginia Graeme Baker Act on 12/29/07 as part of a comprehensive energy bill (H.R. 6). This law, to prevent entrapment drowning and injury at all public pools and spas in the United States, takes effect on December 19, 2008 at midnight and requires all retro-fit, anti-entrapment drains to be installed by that date. Riviera Golf Estates pool is defined by Florida Statute 514.011 as a public pool.
• Our pool will require retro-fit, anti-entrapment grate/drain covers. Since there is such short notice regarding this new law, manufacturers’ are having delays in producing the grates. K. Randazzo motions to keep the pool open and obtain the new equipment as soon as possible. J. Rickert seconds. Ayes all.
• K. Randazzo states there is a new resident interested in running the Bocce games. This will be posted in the next newsletter.
• Our secretary, Sheila Doyle, has been employed at Riviera for three years. K. Randazzo motions to give her $1.00 an hour raise due to her increased responsibilities. J. Furgasso seconds. Ayes all.

L. Bulat motions to adjourn the meeting at 2:15 P.M. J. Rickert seconds. Ayes all.

Respectfully yours,

R. Bulat, recording secretary
