Treasurer’s report: W. Horsewood reported on the cash accounts and financial summary. Wayne also gave a detailed account of extra charges for February, 2008.

L. Bulat introduced Walter Rowland as a potential candidate for treasurer to replace Wayne Horsewood. All board members had already received a copy of Mr. Rowland’s resume. C. Brennan motioned to elect Walter Rowland as our new treasurer. S. Romano seconds. Ayes all.

ARB report:

The following plans were submitted by the ARB for board approval:

• Gansel---Lot 383---934 Charlemagne---paint color
• Squibb---Lot 66---67 LeMans---paint color

S. Romano motions to accept the recommendations of the ARB. B. Kean seconds. Ayes all.

Suggestions/complaints:

A. M. Hampton gave a sample of artificial/synthetic grass to the board for possible approval to replace “real” grass. Since there was no information regarding durability, sun exposure, lifetime of the grass, etc., the board will request more information.

Old Business:

1. Crystal ball and lighting bids…three bids were received. C. Brennan motions to accept the bid from Rymer Technology for $700. B. Kean second. Ayes all.
2. Kuczynski…regarding maintenance of curbing in cul de sac. According to Collier County, they are not responsible for maintenance of the cul de sac itself. This situation will need more discussion when we have a full board present.
3. Violation fines:
• Delaney…light violation…no response to letters or fines. The next step is small claims court.
• Smith…several violations never resolved…owner has abandoned property. We have consulted with our attorney.
• Zulkowski…no response to letters or fines. The next step is small claims court.

New Business:

1. Board room walls and carpeting…these both need updating and/or replacement. The decision will be on hold until next board meeting when there is full board present.
2. Governing document distribution…after some discussion regarding sending all residents just the changes to insert in their present document book or reprinting the entire book at quite an expense, B. Kean motions to send only the inserts with the new changes to each residence. C. Brennan seconds. Ayes all.
3. POW/MIA flag…a resident has suggested this flag be flown at the clubhouse along with the American flag. After some discussion, C. Brennan motions not to fly this flag at the clubhouse. B. Kean seconds. Ayes all. The resident may, of course, fly the flag at his own residence.
4. Robbins (Chesney)…late fees, November & February. The owner wants the board to waive the $150 fee. C. Brennan motions not to waive the fee as there are no exceptions to this rule. B. Kean seconds. Ayes all.
5. Samouce letter to Melick…child in the home violation…the resident has been given a final 3 month extension not to exceed the date of June 30, 2008 to remove the child from her home or move.
6. Taylor…two dogs in the home…the resident sent a letter asking for extra time. C. Brennan motions to deny the resident the request. B. Kean seconds. Ayes all. The board will allow the owner 30 days to remove the second dog.
7. Streets lights…Dick Vandenboom has volunteered to get petitions signed by our residents for proper street lighting on the section of Charlemagne Blvd. to present to Collier County.

Audience participation:

Bill Hunter is asking about our Neighborhood Watch Program. L. Bulat informed him that we are currently looking for a volunteer to head this program and re-organize it.

Ginny Kehoe asked about our past Welcoming Committee and she would like to re-start this program.

Dwight Kehoe, Bill Cannon and several others discussed the minor child problem in our community.

Director’s input:

B. Kean discussed the signs at the County Barn road entry. They need to be replaced. R. Hartline and L. Bulat will meet with the “sign” man and discuss replacement costs. Bruce also suggested some kind of identification be placed on “Riviera’s” property, such as tables, chair, equipment, etc.

C. Brennan motioned to adjourn the meeting at 2:15 P.M. B. Kean seconds. Ayes all.

Respectfully yours,

R. Bulat, recording secretary
