Old Business:

• A.  Violations/fines
• 1.  Zulkowski…a new roof has been installed. The home will also be power washed and a dead tree removed. The board is assuming all the costs at this time. Mrs. Zulkowski agreed to reimburse us in full for these expenses. The board was forced to take these measures due to non-compliance and legal actions.

• B.  County Barn Road signs…in progress and waiting for permits
• C.  FPL “on-call” program…L. Bulat contacted FPL and the clubhouse and annex buildings will be on the on-call program. This will be a savings of $80 per month on the electric bill. Also, we will no longer be taxed on the electric bills for our common areas.

New Business:

A.  Landscaping/trees…Ron Julian has offered to donate three trees (Poinciana) to be placed on the clubhouse grounds. After much discussion, the board members decided against the trees.

• 2. There was a complaint of a child getting on a school bus on LeMans. L. Bulat and R. Hartline will look into whether the child lives there or not.
• 3. We still have cat and dog problems. There is a resident feeding stray cats and a violation letter will be sent.
• 4. J. Furgasso asked about the paver bricks around the pool. IPM ‘s handyman will clean the bricks and remove excess sand.
• 5. J. Rickert asked about purchasing blinds or window treatments for both doors leading out to the pool area. B. Kean and L. Bulat will look into this.

• 7. L. Bulat and B. Kean installed vents and a thermostatically controlled fan in the chickee hut for better ventilation.
• 8. L. Bulat spoke with a Comcast representative and tried to make a deal before our contract is due with lowering the rise in cost to 3% and lock it in to 3% for 5 years. We will also contact Embarq for their bids on identical services now provided by Comcast.
• 9. L. Bulat, J. Rickert, R. Hartline will get the budget committee started in October, 2008 for the 2009 budget.
