Landscape: Pat Hart reminded owners of their responsibility to water sod installed by Greenscapes. Also, owners were encouraged to utilize the AVO system for their complaints and questions.

Maintenance: Fred Eyrich reported that he was obtaining a proposal on replacing the letters on the front sign. It may be very costly. Volunteers are cleaning and painting the sign. Joe Gartner and the red tag program continue to work nicely for bulb replacement. The cost for the storage unit is going up to $1500 next year. Purchasing a shed was suggested as an alternative at a one-time cost of $1875. One owner suggested purchasing a shed large enough to accommodate the golf cart and gas. Fred was requested to look at competitive pricing and alternative options. Full Report-Nov

Covenants: Linda Huber reported that she is looking for a co-chair and additional committee members. She noted that the community is looking very good with only a few homes having dirty roofs, moldy mailboxes, dirty lights, weeds, etc. Owners were encouraged to spruce up their homes by addressing these items which helps to increase the property values in our community. The Committee is also working with realtors to make certain the 6 X 8 sign policy is adhered to.

Management: Sherry Danko reported that the POA’s accounts receivable is in great shape with only three owners having delinquent accounts beyond the current month.

Next Meeting: The next meeting of the Board of Directors will be Monday, December 11, 2006 at 10:00am at the Burnt Store Presbyterian Church.

Comments for Future Consideration: One owner suggested changing the entrance sign by removing the country club language and adding language about being a deed restricted community. The intersection of Seminole Lakes Blvd. and Stillwater Circle is not lighted properly, and when would the proposed project to properly light the intersection be approved?

Adjournment: With no further business to come before the Board, Dan Langone moved and Al DiSessa seconded to adjourn the meeting. The motion carried, and the meeting adjourned at 11:40 AM.
