meeting held April 27, 2009, and the minutes of the Attorney-Client

Old Business:
Gene Custer provided a brief commentary on
the status of the litigation against WCI indicating that the Association
is awaiting the establishment of a date for mediation.
A proposed amendment to the Declaration
and By-Laws that would facilitate action by the Master Association to
assist neighborhood Associations in enforcement of their respective
covenants and specifically collection actions was briefly summarized.
These resolutions will be presented to the membership as part of the
annual membership meeting proceedings in January 2010.
New Business:
Mr. Michael Pohl (representing Longpond),
expressed concerns relative to the identification of Longpond as a
separate community Association both in the GH Directory and on the
Association web site. He also commented on the methods used for screening
admittance of renters by Security. Management assured Mr. Pohl that the
web site would be updated and also outlined the process for development of
the annual directory through Seabreeze Communications this coming fall.
Management advised that Chester Young of
Hans Wilson Associates Inc. anticipated completion of his preliminary
report on the condition of the lake banks and remedial actions for same by
the end of May. An Attorney/Client meeting will be scheduled the week of
June 1 to review his findings.
Management summarized meetings held this
past week with various community representatives from the Master
Association and the Club wherein the primary focus was irrigation and a
severe shortage of water, both as a consequence of water plant delivery
reductions and the lack of rain. Conservation measures were summarized.
A proposal to replace the DOT
Gate was considered. An additional proposal will be obtained before
action is taken.
Committee Reports:
Finance and Security:
In Treasurer Long’s absence, management reported on the Association
financial position and results from operations as of April 30, 2009. A
summary review of the P&L and line-item variances was given. It was noted
that year-to-date the Association has operated under budget. Master funds
in any banking institution will be kept within FDIC limitations.
Communications:
David Monderer reminded members of the
Hurricane Seminar on May 19. Connie Petersen advised that Seabreeze will
no longer be funding the printing and binding of the GH Directories.
This matter will be pursued further by Ms. Petersen.
Landscape Committee
– Barbara Maxim reported that she has received a revised proposal from
Everyday Maintenance for plantings and plant replacements in some areas of
the McGregor median, the main entrances and parts of Vista River Drive and
will proceed once regular seasonal rain occurs in early June. Efforts are
also being made to coordinate the holiday decorations supplied by the
Master and those supplied by the Club.
Lakes Committee:
Chuck Tebbetts summarized previous plans to remove the volcano from Lake 7
and to relocate it to Lake 1 and to install a new Aqua Air system into
lake 7. Electrical installation has been completed. Equipment should be
installed in the coming week. He outlined the removal of bulrushes at
certain lakes and reiterated plans to install littorals on a cost-sharing
basis with the Club.
ARB
– Doug Roberts noted receipt and blanket
approval of railing installations at Grande Cay units predicated on Grande
Cay Board approval on a case-by-case application.
Board Meetings will be scheduled during
the June-September period on an as-needed basis. There being no further
business, the meeting was adjourned without objection.
