Committee Reports

 

Architectural Committee – There are various fences down still in need of repair; still several homes in which it seems no one has made an attempt to clean up or repair.

 

Maintenance Committee - The lights at the front of the neighborhood and the marina have been fixed.  Will look into replacing lights at the front of the canal.  Asphalting should begin in the next couple of weeks.

 

Pool/Landscaping – Phyllis got bids on the fence around the pool and repairing the pool.  The bid on the fence was $16, 951; two bids on the pool, $8, 925 and $6, 500.

 

Dredging Committee – As of today, we’ve received funds of $25,000 from the county; $17,000 from Fish America is pending, and $50, 000 from the Gulf of Mexico Foundation.  Two personal donations have also been made.

It will cost approximately $3000 to replace the channel markers and lights.

 

 

Section Reports

 

Section 1 – Chris Peel (home owner on Gulf Drive) spoke on process to get city or state help

 

Section 2 – Linda addressed a lawn problem, trash, and a downed fence which were pre-Ike. A letter was sent to the property owner regarding his lawn not being mowed for over 6 months and no reply was received. The trash issue was addressed and corrected when the city could access that section of Camino. Sewer work was blocking Camino. She never got a chance to address the fence issue as Ike came after she  was notified of the problem. There are cars on Camino which they are trying to get titles to so the cars can be removed.

 

Section 4 – The roads are good; car on the road and in the canal have been removed and the boat is gone.

 

Section 5 – There is no water, no power, water on the road.  Some homes have made no attempt to try and clean up.

 

Section 7 – There are serious road issues and still homes to be cleaned up.

 

Marina Section – all OK

 

 

Presidents Report – Bob Majewski

 

Bob discussed how difficult it was right after the storm to get information out and how everyone had tried their best; a lot of people had no internet, phone service, etc.  Did start using the web-site which seemed to work out well. 

 

He apologized for not getting any city officials for the meeting today.  Bob then informed everyone that Karen Mahoney will be in the neighborhood next weekend to access the damage.  There is no deadline for connecting the sewer.  A & H Electric is working on the electricity in the neighborhood.  We will try to work on the pool and boat docks as much as possible to try to save costs to the residents.  Will try to get as much debris out of the canals as possible, but will be able to do more after the water goes down a little and we can see exactly what’s there.  If anyone has lost their garbage cans or they are broke you can call 797-3630.

 

New Business

 

Building permits were discussed; especially the best time to wait in line to get a permit. 

 

Also discussed in great detail the time frame for getting the neighborhood cleaned up; it was suggested that the neighborhood do as much of the cleanup as possible not waiting on the city, county, etc. 

 

Linda Vaccaro made a motion to set aside $5000 for “Ike clean up” in the common areas if the city hasn’t done anything by November 30th.  Phyllis Clarey seconded the motion.  Motion passed.

 

The work day was discussed.  Plan is to work on the pool and pump, boat dock, and just get a lot of the trash picked up around the neighborhood. 

 

Motion was made to adjourn the meeting.  Motion was seconded and passed.  Meeting was adjourned 9:50 AM.

 

 

Respectfully submitted,

 

Alice Lincecum

Secretary
