Upcoming member
meetings
Please mark your calendar for our two upcoming HOA
community meetings to be held at the clubhouse. The
Annual Budget Meeting is scheduled for Wednesday,
November 16 at 6:30PM (please note the earlier time
than in previous years) and our Annual Members’
Meeting on Thursday, March 8, 2012 at 7:00 PM.
Clubhouse
refrigerator
The compressor in the clubhouse refrigerator malfunctioned in May and the cost to replace it was not much
less than the cost of a new refrigerator. The process
of finding the best price and value and special ordering
the new off white refrigerator to match the
other appliances, took longer than we had
hoped. When you receive this newsletter,
however, the new refrigerator should be
installed and ready for use.
Pool and spa
The automatic fill on the clubhouse spa malfunctioned in June and thanks to careful scrutiny of our
expenditures by Collier Financial with support from
Jennifer our property manager, the problem was
addressed before we accrued too many costly water
bills. The problem has been fixed and the fill is now
working properly.
Our Yearly Irrigation
Lightning Strike
It seems that most every summer our irrigation
system takes a hit from lightning. We were fortunate this year since the strike stopped with the destruction of the electrical box and not the pump itself.
The replacement
therefore required a
much smaller expense.
The box has been replaced with little down
time for the system. The
process was assisted by
rain so there was little or
no stress to the landscaping.
As we have
reported in previous
newsletters, the cost to insure the system is more
costly than the replacement of the system itself.
Car notices
There has been some confusion about notices
appearing on people’s cars during last winter and
spring. We are not sure exactly what happened
with each occurrence since the Board’s policy is to
contact you directly if there is a problem and not
leave a note on your car. Please contact us if there
is a special circumstance which requires overnight
street parking. We would like to make your life
work easily. To that end, if a resident thinks there is
a problem with overnight street parking please contact our property manager Jennifer Walton and she
will pursue clarification and next steps.
REMINDER

Landscape
The lakes are full thanks to a generous amount
of rain during the rainy season.
Due to lots of rain recently on top of
a very hot and dry late spring, there
was an outbreak of fungus during July.
GreenAcres sprayed fungicide and the
problem seems to be under control.
GreenAcres suggests that residents do
their trimming as close as possible to
the time that the crew is on site to do
their regular lawn maintenance on
Tuesday.
