Grace McGee is trying to organize a water aerobics class at our pool. If you are intrested please contact her for information.

Bids have come in for the replacement of the polypebble and all bids are finalized. At present we have a bid to do the work, it is $5.25 per sq. ft. for pavers over the polypebble & $6.50 to remove the polypebble and install the pavers. Just a reminder this will be at owners option and cost. Those that decide to have the work done will also have to SIGN a "Covenant to Run" . This means THEY and all future owners of that unit will be responsible for the care & upkeep of the pavers. If at some time in the future they change their minds they WILL be able to revert back to the polypebble at their expense and then we will remove the "Covenant to Run". After that the Association will be responsible for the polypebble.

Welcome again to Jack & Pat Horner the new owners of unit 6640 .

Some of you may have noticed that a few owners have placed "tubes" for the daily paper near their mail boxes. The "tubes" supplied by the Sarasota Herald Tribune are a bright red and are placed on posts also supplied by the Tribune. The question was asked if we could paint the "tubes" and attach them to our mail box stands. After on site discussions with Bob Steele the District Manager we have come up with a plan that is acceptable. We can paint the boxes the same color as the mail box stands or BLACK - BUT we must have our address on the "tube" so that the carrier will know where to deliver the paper.

The votes were as follows:

To approve the Dock Amendment: Yes 22 No 0 NON VOTE 14

The Dock Amendment was approved

Adjournment 3:03 PM

Personal coment: To the 22 owners that took the time to vote in person or by proxy I thank you. Some of you know the effort in writing, rewriting, re-rewriting, e-mails, phone calls and conferences that took place to put together this (or any) amendment. The Board was delighted with the passing of the amendment however I was disappointed with the 14 owners that DID NOT VOTE. I don't know if they realize that a NON VOTE IS COUNTED AS A NO VOTE. If that is their way to vote NO I have no complaint, BUT if the non votes were a result of indifference then I AM ANGRY and SAD that they think so little of the combined efforts of Board members and the efforts of owners to put into place this or any amendment.

DOCKMASTER: JERRY SPEARS: None

POOLMASTER: JERRY SPEARS: The pool pump was replaced (with our previous pool pump that we had rebuilt)as was the heating element for the pool heater

Personal coment: Jerry Spears blows the pool area clean almost every day. One day 1-2 weeks ago a visitor asked him to stop because the blower made noise. Jerry informed them that he volunteers to keep the pool area clean. This visitor told him that the blower was making a lot of noise and the blowing leaves was disturbing them so could he do it some other time. Jerry finished his "JOB" and left. On another occasion a renter insisted that hired workman that were blocking the road trimming trees stop, come down and move their trucks so that the renter wouldn't have to go arround and come in at a different entrance. I would like some input from the owners. Do you want visitors or renters to be able to stop our volunteers and hired workman at their whim?
