Call to Order: The meeting was called to order at 10:00 AM by Bob Toth, President, at the Burnt Store Presbyterian Church.

Establish a Quorum: A quorum was established with the following present: Bob Toth, Dan Langone, Al DiSessa, Linda Huber, and Jay Ward. Also present was Sherry Danko, Star Hospitality Management.

Notice of Meeting: The meeting notice was posted in accordance with the Association Bylaws and Florida Statute 720.

Disposal of Minutes: Dan Langone moved, and Linda Huber seconded to approve the February 12, 2007 and March 12, 2007 Board meeting minutes. The motion carried.

President’s Report: Bob Toth reported that the developer, Jack Stephenson, turned down the proposal for the pool rental for one additional year. No explanation was given but the Board would pursue the issue further. FP&L completed their inspection of the hand-holes where they did some minor repairs to a few connections. Bob Toth has been discussing the raising of the covers which are below grade with FP&L. Rudco Properties has broken ground to build a 9000 square foot building near Acline. The Board hopes to have further details in May. Currently, no lease has been signed.

Treasurer’s Report: Al DiSessa reported that business was as usual except that March had an extra payroll. March’s operating surplus of $4,107.01 is due primarily to not having the pool rental expense. The most significant expense anticipated is for the Lake A renovations. The reserve balance at March 31, 2007 is $472,329.77.

Old Business: None

ARB: Dan Langone presented one application (10261 Windsong) requesting approval for painting. Linda Huber moved, and Al Disessa seconded to approve the request. The motion carried.

Access Control Raise: Jay Huber began his report by reminding owners to observe the speed limit. Jay Huber did some sample runs and determined that the time saved by speeding was approximately 45 seconds and not worth the possibility of jeopardizing people’s safety. Jay requested a 3% salary increase for the access control staff. Dan Langone moved, and Jay Ward seconded to approve the 3% increase effective May 1, 2007 for all access control staff. The motion carried.

Greenscapes: Linda Rae Nelson, Owner, Jay Winborn, and Claudio attended the meeting. Linda Rae Nelson gave a brief overview of their services. She recognized the owners’ concerns about the conditions of their lawns. Jay Winborn spoke about the two main problems: weeds and irrigation. Recently, Greenscapes sent out proposals for irrigation repairs and/or upgrades. They apologized for not providing advance notice of the proposals. Their intent was to educate the owners regarding what their irrigation systems needed including, but not limited to, new sprinkler heads and six-inch pop-ups with a flexible swing joint. Jay Winborn explained that 4" pop-ups were originally installed and after 4-5 years, the heads become below grade. Greenscapes recommend replacing the 4" pop-ups with 6" pop-ups so that when extended, they go above the top of the turf and provide better water coverage. It would be the owner’s decision to hire Greenscapes, hire another company, or do the repair themselves. St. Augustine grass was originally planted in Seminole Lakes and cannot withstand long periods of drought and it will not survive one day a week of watering and will die. Subsequently, the weeds will overtake the lawns. Carpet grass and Bermuda grass are both considered weeds and will overtake the lawns when St. Augustine grass dies. Carpet grass turns brown during the winter but the root system is still alive and will turn green when the rainy season begins. Greenscapes discussed the new weed killer being applied and the expectation that it will have a positive impact on the lawns. The Board requested that Greenscapes submit an article for the Grapevine on a regular basis. The owners had the opportunity to have some questions answered by Jay Winborn.

Lakes and Roads-Lake A Shoreline Project: Walt Van Beers presented the report on behalf of the Lake A sub-committee. After 3 years of committee study, along with an engineering study, the Committee requested a motion to approve the proposed project which would address the erosion around Lake A by re-grading the shoreline to a 3-1 slope, bringing in 30 loads (16 cubic yards) of dirt, and installing bahia sod. Linda Huber moved, and Dan Langone seconded to approve the project at a cost of $56,000 and issuing the contract to Abbott. Al Disessa requested that the funding be determined by him rather than as a part of the motion. One owner asked if the project would permanently eliminate the erosion problem. It was answered no, but the project would bring the lake back to its pre-Charley state. The motion carried.

Rules & Regulations Update: Nick Cole gave a presentation on the proposed revisions to the Rules and Regulations. Items discussed included: hurricane shutters, golf cart signal lights, dumpsters, fishing, landscape control, contractor times of work, post lights, signage, and traffic control. There was discussion amongst the Board and the membership. Further review would follow before the Board votes for approval. Once approved, the new Rules and Regulations will be printed with the new phone directory to be published in the Fall.

Resident Recognition: Linda Huber asked an owner to select a name from the "hat". Bob Toth’s name was pulled. He asked Linda Huber to select someone else, not on the Board. Galen Price’s name was pulled. Linda Huber read the nominations regarding his service as Chair of the Pool Committee and presented him with a gift certificate to a local restaurant. MVP

Activities: Jay Ward began the committee report by thanking Evelyn Cotyk for her years of service as chair and welcoming Wayne Karlak as the new chair. Residents were encouraged to continue to support the social activities of the Association.

CERT: On behalf of the Committee, Jay Ward presented the report. He welcomed two new members: Jay Huber and Victor Poitras. During the month, members trained on emergency disaster preparedness. Owners were encouraged to review the safety tip in the Grapevine regarding portable generators.

Lakes & Roads: Joe Ring presented his report which requested funds to replace bulbs for the front entrance lights. At a cost not to exceed $1,000, all of the bulbs would be replaced by Doyle Electric during the week of April 15. Linda Huber moved, and Dan Langone seconded to approve the proposal as presented. The motion carried.

Management: Sherry Danko reported that the POA’s accounts receivable continue to be in good shape. Owners were encouraged to contact the Star office when going north for the summer.

Next Meeting: The next meeting will be Monday, May 14, 2007 at 10:00am at the Burnt Store Presbyterian Church.

Comments for Future Consideration: Linda Huber read a note from Bruce Ladd Electric requesting owners to call regarding services. Due to safety issues, owners should not drop by the building outside of the front entrance. One owner asked the Board to consider "controlling" the access to the community particularly as it pertains to the golf course. Another owner indicated that denying access might be prohibited. Another owner asked residents not to park on the grass as it not only looks bad but can start fires.

Adjournment: With no further business to come before the Board, Jay Ward moved, and Al DiSessa seconded to adjourn the meeting. The motion carried, and the meeting adjourned at 12:05 PM.

Submitted for Linda Huber, Secretary
