UNFINISHED BUSINESS

Angela Diaz had a complaint about the landscaper at TNT. She was not satisfied with the trimming of the trees and the appearance of the entrance. Andy Macfarlane explained that it was the original design and needed to be updated. Some of the work they are doing is not in their contract. Angela Diaz also mentioned that there is a problem with the irrigation system as the sidewalks were covered with mold as a result.

Angela Diaz mentioned that some of the damage was from the hurricane damage. Andy mentioned that some of the hurricane damage leftover hadn’t been brought to their attention. Andy also mentioned that some of the tree removal was done with the hurricane clean up. Ed Bender said that they should at least give Lewis a chance to perform and if not than they would deal with that issue. Andy suggested that MAY Management provide written work orders for Lewis starting this year.

Angela Diaz mentioned that if you drive up to the community that you can’t really see some of the damage, in some cases you have to walk up to the properties to see the damage. Andy suggested that he should meet with Angela to actually see all the damage. Everyone will keep an eye on Lewis and give him three months to make sure he is doing everything in his contract. Andy will make sure that Lewis gets a written work order to keep track of everything that is asked of him.

Angela Diaz brought up the issue of the cleaning of the sidewalks. Ed Bender mentioned that everyone should be responsible for the cleaning sidewalks in front of their houses.

The idea of a cleanup day was brought up and Ed Bender suggested that they could make it an event and invite everyone. Everyone could bring their kids and sign off on their community service hours

Safety & Security Committee
A gun was stolen from a house in the community.

Regarding the issue of vandalism at the front entrance, Mr. Bender noted that there was a policy in the community and any act of vandalism was prohibited and if anyone knew or the person that committed such acts was found then they would go ahead and prosecute.

Mr. Bender also mentioned that if the sub-committee was created then they should report directly to the board. It was noted that Mr. Bender suggested the committee members be invited to monthly meetings and have monthly reports. Mr. Bender noted that the Architectural Review should meet with the Landscaping committee for major improvements to discuss different issues on either side.

Ed Bender stated that everyone has a week to think about the Landscaping Committee and if anyone has any comments they should give those comments to Angela Diaz, if there are no comments than the board will go with what they have and will make it a sub-committee.
