Treasurer’s Report:

John Ringrose reported that there is $100,000 set aside for dredging and $6,609 designated for landscaping.  He estimated that based on anticipated income there should be approximately $20,000 left over at the end of the year after operating expenses. 


Old Business:

Pool Lock and Keys:

Pat Kirk reported that the new pool lock has been installed and 400 new non-duplicating keys have been made.  The total cost was $3,897.

There was a discussion of the need for new pool signs that comply with city codes and Ed Hartman agreed to have the signs made.

Distribution of the new keys was discussed and Pat Kirk made a motion that information about the distribution of keys be included in the notice of the annual meeting letters sent to all residents.  It was determined that the annual meeting letters should be mailed at the end of April to notify everyone that the pool keys can be purchased at the pavilion  beginning Saturday May 12, May 19, May 26, and June 2nd.  The hours will be from
10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. each day.  Kim Saxon seconded the motion and the motion carried.  In order to ensure that the letters will be sent in a timely manner the scheduled board meeting for May will be moved to April 28, 2007.

Kim Saxon made a motion that the cost of the new non-duplicating key should be $15 per key.  Bonny English seconded the motion.  Motion carried.


John Ringrose made a motion that one key per lot be available for purchase to all homeowners.  Ed Hartman seconded the motion.  The motion did not pass.  The board decided that property owners with multiple lots will be able to purchase a maximum of two keys which was the decision of a previous vote.  The cost of replacement keys will remain at $25 per key.


Delinquent Maintenance Fees:

Pat Kirk reported that certified letters had been mailed in November to property owners that were delinquent on their homeowner’s fees.  After a discussion, John Ringrose made a motion that Pat Kirk should send another certified letter to the property owners that did not respond to the first letter.  This letter should include our intent to foreclose on these properties if no response is received within ten days of receipt of the letter.  Kim Saxon seconded the motion and the motion carried.

Standing Committees:

Master Plan:

Kim Saxon reported that some of the landscaping has been completed.  Blue River is in the process of removing the diseased oleanders from the main entrance and when complete, the rest of the landscaping will be installed.  The new pool cabanas should be finished before the new pool season.  There was an additional discussion about the roof of the pavilion and the mailbox area and Kim Saxon will continue to pursue the replacement of these roofs due to the fading of the colors..  The lighting at the mail box area and pool were discussed and Wanda Greer will call West End Electric to make needed repairs.

Bob Bowe has agreed to fill out the paper work for a permit for beach raking.

Dredging

Doug Eibsen reported that Terramar is on the list for county funds to dredge our main canal.  We have applied for $275,000 and have agreed to commit $50,000 of our money to the project.  This project would be completed by the county with the sand being placed in Pocket Park #4 which is located just west of the subdivision.  The county will decide in June, 2007 which projects they will fund and Terramar is on the list.  If selected, the dredging would begin in 2007.  He also reported that the FishAmerica Foundation has grants available and that Terramar, in conjunction with Bay Harbor, has applied for a $50,000 grant. 

 New Business:

The need for a special assessment in order to complete the neighborhood beautification, improvements such as bathrooms at the pool area and furniture for the pool, improving the marina area, dredging, and beach nourishment was discussed.  It was decided that due to the increase in maintenance fees which has provided the subdivision with additional funds that a special assessment will not be requested for approval at the annual meeting.

John Ringrose asked that any subdivision maintenance or projects intended for Ron Froncek be provided to him in advance.  Some suggestions were the need for a plexi glass barrier around the pool gate in order to provide security, painting of the Terramar Beach sign at the main entrance, planting of additional landscaping, installing the new pool signs, and moving the bulletin board at the mail box area that is currently blocked by the new mail boxes.


The board went into Executive Session.


Wanda Greer has called several realtors and asked them to remove their signs from the main entrance and the common areas.
