Treasurer’s report: W. Rowland reported on the financial account, manager’s account and cash on hand. He also explained in detail our office expenses, various taxes, landscaping and pool expenses.

ARB report:

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

• Moriarity---Lot 559---783 Charlemagne---paint color & raise lanai floor
• McDuffee---Lot 240---102 Estelle---wishing well
• Wysokinski---Lot 175---611 Charlemagne---paint color

J. Rickert motions to accept the recommendations of the ARB for Moriarity and Wysokinski only. K. Randazzo seconds. Ayes all.

The McDuffee request for a wishing well has been denied due our covenants. After a long discussion (as there are wishing wells already installed on several properties without the board’s permission) J. Rickert motions to grandfather in the existing wishing wells with the stipulation that they cannot be replaced if somehow damaged/destroyed or new ownership. B. Kean seconds. K. Randazzo opposes. The motion is carried.

Suggestions/complaints:

• A. Richard Doll is protesting our procedure of fining for maintenance fees that are delinquent and is requesting a refund. L. Bulat explained that just recently the Florida statutes have been changed and we can only charge a late fee of $25. J. Rickert motions to refund the money per Florida statutes and only impose a $25 fine in the future. B. Kean seconds. Ayes all. In addition, residents that have just recently been fined, after the law was passed, will be credited the $50 if the fine has currently been paid.
• B. A resident is complaining of a neighbor with 2 large dogs, barking, no leash, etc. R. Hartline and L. Bulat will look into the situation after the board meeting.
• C. Mr. Jost states there are several lawns on LeMans that need maintenance. R. Hartline and L. Bulat will verify this before violation letters are sent.

Old Business:

• A. Kuczynski...broken curbing in cul de sac. L. Bulat is following up on the premise that Waste Management has agreed to remove the curbing, plantings, etc. and pave over the area. K. Randazzo motions to have Waste Management remove the above. B. Kean seconds. Ayes all.
• B. Violations/fines...Zulkowski...resident has not responded to our most recent correspondence concerning her fine and condition of her home. J. Rickert motions to have our lawyer (who has already agreed) take over this situation. S. Romano seconds. Ayes all.
• C. Board room/office renovations... K. Randazzo has three bids for the painting of both rooms and she will go over the bids with the decorating committee before board approval. K. Randazzo also has only one bid for the carpeting ($2430). B. Kean motions to have the committee get two more bids before board approval. J. Rickert seconds. K. Randazzo and S. Romano oppose. The motion is carried.
• D. Audit...still in progress per R. Hartline and should be complete this July
• E. County Barn Road signs...an overview of the sign proposals and colored photo was given to the board members for review. K. Randazzo motions to accept the bid by Lykins Signs at the cost of $6822 which includes tax. J. Rickert seconds. Ayes all.

New Business:

• A. Director replacement...due to Charlie Brennan’s passing, Bill Cannon was asked if he was still interested in the director’s position and he agreed. J. Rickert motions to have Bill become a board member to replace C. Brennan. B. Kean seconds. Ayes all.
• B. Carefree Pools...a new county inspector found numerous flaws in our pool system that must be rectified and brought up to the new codes. There are at least 8 different violations. K. Randazzo motions to accept Carefree Pool’s bid at $4950. S. Romano seconds. Ayes all. We also need the pool pavers pressure cleaned, re-sanded and repaired as needed. K. Randazzo motions to accept the paver’s proposal not to exceed $2800. B. Kean seconds. Ayes all.

Audience participation:

• Cal Brooks questioned IPM’s job regarding violations. R. Hartline explained his duties for our community.
• Ed Miller asked questions about our hurricane insurance and hurricane fund.
• Dean Lindquist asked about our procedure for complaint letters.
• Wayne Horsewood questioned the condition about the vacant Knudson property and neglected lawn maintenance.

Director’s input:

K. Randazzo questioned the deadline for the Melick violation, as the time limit expires on June 30, 2008. We will follow up on the deadline date and if not in compliance, it will be turned over to our attorney.

B. Kean motioned to adjourn the meeting at 2:35 P.M. J. Rickert seconds. Ayes all.
