Documents committee

Harry Anderson reported on activities of the Documents Committee

He thanked members of the Board of Governors who served on the committee.
Goals of the committee were to:

•insure total compliance with Florida condo laws and insure flexibility in
  the event of changes in the state law.
•clean up the documents with respect to the developer, language that is
  now obsolete.
•be sure that the documents have internal consistency and are written in
  easy and understandable language.
•be sure that all current rights of owners are preserved.

The completed work of the committee will be available in a week or so.  They plan to have everything complete for the Board of Governors in fall (October/November) and have informational meetings to present the new documents to owners shortly after that (November/December).  It is expected that they approval process (voting) will begin January.

We need a 2/3 affirmative vote of the owners to approve the new documents.  Harry
emphasized how important it was that the board recommend/endorse the new documents and that the presentations are geared to making it easy for the owners understand them.

Other Committee Matters

Tom Duffey indicated that it was his intention to continue the committees formed in 2002-2003 into next year with the same membership that they had this year.  The question was raised about members who no longer wished to serve on a committee.  Tom encouraged those members to contact him.

Vince O'Connor moved to continue the board appointed committees for 2003-2004 as they were constituted for 2002-2003.  Jack Gross seconded the motion.
Motion passed by unanimous voice vote.

Tom Duffey reminded us of the Study Group on Lakewood which was formed a couple of years ago to form a liaison among communities bordering on Lakewood Blvd. and county agencies.  With new developments being planned for this area, that study group needs to become active again.  Tony Rizzo will revive that committee in the Fall and use e-mail contacts during the summer to get it up an running quickly.

5.    Old Business

A.    Columns

Tom Duffey reminded the Board that the columns on five buildings (Glen Abbey, Pinehurst, Pebble Beach, Westchester and Sawgrass) are vulnerble to birds and bees and indicated that the presidents of those five associations need to seek a common solution for board approval.

B.    Fence on west side of the property

At the January 29, 2003 meeting, the Board of Governors approved construction of a 6ft galvanized fence along the west side of the property at a cost between $1,500 and $3,000.

Tom Duffey indicated tht it is necessary that the Board of Governors provide additional direction to the Golfview Manager regarding the location of the fence.  Dennis Catoe indicated there is vegitation in the area and problems with a drain line.  It was observed that appearance (i.e., vinyl clad vs. galvanized) would be more important if the fence is located close to the sidewalk.  It was also suggested that a location close to property line would be better so that we can control our property (e.g., clean up trash, trim vegetation).  

There were numerous questions and statements about the height of the fence, material to be used, and the specific location.

Vince O'Connor moved to direct the manager to construct a 6ft. galvanized fence along the sidewalk with a gate for maintenance.  Jerry Ankers seconded the motion.  After further discussion, the motion failed on an 9-0 vote by show of hands.
Tony Rizzo moved construct a 6ft. galvanized fence along the property line as far as possible up to the bushes  Jerry Ankers seconded the motion.  After further discussion, the motion passed 9-0 on a voice vote.

C.    Access to clubhouse

Jerry Ankers indicated that during the discussion when the matter of providing access to the clubhouse through an electronic key-card system it had been implied that another plan was in being considered by him and Dennis Catoe.  He indicated that there was no other plan, but that the doors had been rekeyed and that any owner who wanted to have a key could come to the office and obtain one.  Exterior doors and washroom doors are now keyed alike.

6.    Adjournment

Jerry Ankers moved to adjourn the meeting.  Bob Margolin seconded the motion.
Motion passed by unanimous voice vote.

Tom Duffey adjourned the meeting at 11:55 AM
