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, Bob Foiles, Al DiSessa, Linda Huber, and Sandy Blaesing. 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.

Greenscapes: Bob Toth announced that the Greenscapes presentation would be given immediately rather than under new business. Sandy Blaesing introduced Jay Winborn and Claudio. Jay reported that fertilization was recently completed. He gave an overview of the latest irrigation inspection. Numerous owners have locked their irrigation boxes with the systems turned off and others have turned off their back flow preventers. In both instances, the landscaping is dying and owners must understand that Greenscapes cannot be held responsible. Jay expanded on the need to keep the irrigation systems in good working condition and provided some helpful hints for owner repairs. One owner asked about fungus. Jay responded that the fungus should grow out. Owners were encouraged to check their rain sensors as this is the best way to help control watering. There was also discussion on the Greenscapes technicians mowing in a proper manner to avoid blowing the clippings on the lanais and pools. The presentation was well received. Greenscape Report

President’s Report: None.

Treasurer’s Report: Al DiSessa presented his Treasurer’s Report which indicated a June operating surplus of $11,732.94. The year-to-date surplus is $60,962.46. There were no changes in the reserve accounts other than the monthly contribution. Al Disessa noted that Star is working on the collection of the accounts receivable. Finally, the 2005 audit has been resolved to the satisfaction of the Board. Al Disessa presented a policy to record the legal expenses for liens and foreclosures on the accounts receivable rather than code them as operating expenses. The preface behind this proposal is that the costs for these expenses should be collected from the applicable owners. Al Disessa moved, and Bob Foiles seconded to adopt this policy. The motion carried.

Insurance Renewal: Al DiSessa turned this discussion over to the Insurance Chair, Howard McCormack, who reported that the Association had engaged a new agent-Lutgert Insurance in Fort Myers. Effective July 7^th, the Association’s property insurance will be with Lloyd’s. Unfortunately, no one would write a wind policy at this time. Auto Owners agreed to renew the general liability, Directors & Officers, and the non-owned auto coverage. On July 3^rd, lightning struck the back gate. Expenses for repairs are estimated $6,000.00 . A claim has been filed by Jack Hall, a new addition to the Insurance Committee and expects the $1,000.00 deductible to cover repairs.

Real Estate Sign Proposal: Linda Huber spoke on complaints received regarding real estate signs. The Covenants Committee did some research and presented a proposed sign policy for our Rules & Regulations which is in compliance with the Covenants. Linda Huber suggested that one sign no larger than 6" X 8" may be placed at the front of Seminole Lakes Country Club entrance off of Route 41 which states "OPEN HOUSE". The realtor may provide maps of Seminole Lakes to the guard House with the open house so marked to be given to any visitor requesting entry for the purpose of visiting the open house and one sign (no larger than 6" x 8") showing the open house may be placed on the residents’ front lawn. No other items may be displayed. Any and all material used for an open house shall be picked up at the end of the day. Sandy Blaesing moved, and Bob Foiles seconded to approve the policy. One owner inquired about the number of signs for multiple agents. Linda Huber read the applicable passage from the Covenants which allowed for one sign per agency. The motion carried.

Hurricane Shutter Proposal: Linda Huber read the hurricane shutter proposal from the Covenants Committee. There were numerous comments in opposition of the proposal. No motion was made.

Landscape Proposal-Acline Road: Sandy Blaesing moved, and Bob Foiles seconded to approve a proposal to plant trees and shrubs similar to the front entrance at the Acline entrance at a cost of $1,424.00. Al DiSessa stated that he was not in favor of plumbagos. It was also noted that some adjustments may be needed for the irrigation. The motion carried.

Swimming Pool: Bob Toth gave a detailed slide presentation Pool Proposal on entering into a rental agreement with Seminole Lakes, Inc. to rent the pool, tiki bar, and exercise room for $4,000 per month for six months. The agreement would be contingent upon completion of several repairs and upgrades as well as agreement on the document language.
