Teresa Moretti, one of our neighbors, has moved to a memory care facility, Waterford at Creekside; 9015 University Parkway; Cottage 5; Pensacola, FL  32514.  She would welcome cards from anyone who knew her.  Terri was very involved for many years with the Association serving several times as President and on various committees.  We thank her for her dedication and wish her well.

VICE PRESIDENT REPORT:       No report.

 

ARCHITECTURAL COMM:       Fence Repair:   Temporary fix has been made at the front entrance with the fallen sections repaired by replacing broken posts, installing new stringers, and screwing in reused slats. Slats were alternated to reduce wind load.  Cost was slightly over $1000 for new materials.  George Levy talked with our neighbor on the other side to split the cost but they declined.  As our dues come in, we will reassess this issue and consider full fence replacement.  Two proposals obtained were around $9000 which would not leave enough in the account for other maintenance expenses.

 

WELCOME COMMITTEE:        Due to Covid-19 Rose Putman will not be welcoming new owners until further notice.

 

BEAUTIFICATION COMMITTEE:   No report.

Rose Putman has resigned her position as Welcome Committee Chair.  We thank her at this time for all the years she has dedicated herself to this position, as well as other positions and committees.  Eventually, after COVID winds down, this committee will resume and need a chair person.

 

UNFINISHED BUSINESS:

 

AUDIT COMMITTEE:               Three members are required for the audit.  So far we have two:  George Levy and Walter Phillips.  If you can volunteer, please call Walter at 941-0892, as this needs to be completed before our next meeting.  It only takes about an hour.

 

NEW BUSINESS:                      Due to the ongoing COVID virus, we will not be holding a community garage sale this spring.

 

There being no further business, Stephen Hogarth made the motion to adjourn the meeting and Pegge Phillips 2nd.  Meeting adjourned at 8:00 pm.
