TREASURER’S REPORT
John Ringrose gave the treasurer’s report. Currently there is $95,000 in savings and about $66,000 in checking, and another $15,000 is set aside for dredging expense. Still a lot of money coming in and still a lot of people have not yet paid their annual dues. We should have plenty of cash to do what we need this year. $20,000 set aside for fence. Due are $143 for a lot with house and $121 for a vacant lot.
REVIEW OF STANDING
COMMITTEES:
Lloyd (on behalf of Doug) –
Nothing new on Bay.
Wanda reported that she attended the WGIPOA meeting: Reminder of the smoking ban will be voted on
by City Council in February. There is
still time to oppose – email City Council or Mayor. City’s Managers meeting was held December 15 and
chief of police was there. Discussed with them that we really want a substation here. We do have three officers were being
scheduled for each day in the
Mary Ann Schuler arrived as a guest to observe and listen. (Jimmy Johnson is her son-in-law)
Terramar applied for CEPRA 4 Funds, and they were not awarded. FEMA Hazard Mitigation Grant. They took the subdivisions that applied for CEPRA 4 and sent them in as they were so that we would not have to do another grant proposal. The decision has to be made by January 27 and this means that it will be a dune restoration on the beach, approximately 5 to 6 feet tall with sand and sand fencing. There was $2 million for 17 subdivisions. If there are enough subdivisions that want to participate, the 75% may be paid by the GLO. At this particular time, we are being reimbursed for the sand that was washed away in the last two storms. Instead of replenishing the beach as they have in the past, the new thing is dune restoration. I specifically asked about our subdivision because I was concerned about the houses that have received notice. Ray was there with the GLO and backed off that question and she asked about the houses closest to the beach. Now they say they will work with the city. Wanda asked permission to sign a contract stating that Terramar is interested and approval to spend some money (can spend up to $20,000) without community approval. We can cancel at anytime but need to sign up now if we want to be considered. Wanda asked for the authority, Kim Saxon made a motion to grant her the authority and Bonny seconded the motion and it was therefore approved.
BUSINESS - OLD
Diane – Master Plan Committee – Diane said that she called several local companies and had received another bid. The original bid on the swimming pool fence was $15,592 and the new bid was $20,202 for 8 feet high aluminum powder coated fence, with the 300 additional linear feet. Still doesn’t know if that includes installation and warranty, or what the timing is. The terms are 1/3 down when order placed, 1/3 to start the project and 1/3 when completed. Plan to make a decision in March and have it built in May. Need to move ahead on this project. Wanda made a motion to authorize Diane to check on fencing and hire a contractor, and email the information to the Board. Valerie seconded and the motion was approved.
Lloyd said that the Parks and Wildlife had chosen Terramar as placement for fish in wetlands. He had a letter dated January 13, 2006.
Peggy talked about mowing the empty lot which is very hard
to mow. Need to write a letter to the owner
giving them the chance to rectify the problem.
Sylvia motioned to approve a letter to be send
to the owner of the lot in Section 7,
The by-laws state that the HOA mows vacant lots four times a year. Billing is automatic at $40 per lot per year. Each non-routine situation will be evaluated on an individual basis.
Lloyd read an email from Steve Nelson in section 7. The email regarded summer mowing that looks
like it is being mowed once a month. Mr.
Nelson has been mowing himself. He
stated that it is unsightly and has been barricaded, making it hard to mow.
Discussed oleanders and Ron asked if he needed to cut them and decided to wait before cutting them. Will discuss at next meeting. . Kim Saxon said that the pavilion roof tiles will be covered and still waiting on roof inspection. Looks like a faulty batch of tiles. The company is sending a rep out to look at it.
NEW BUSINESS
Lights need to be replaced at front. Might just need to be reset. Will be checked out.
