•   Volunteers will be needed to set up, take down, and serve.  It was suggested that board members work 2 hour shifts to sign up people and to serve as a way of meeting the owners.  Parking will be on the Gulf power easement property.
• Ray Lake asked for a motion to hire Hank Prentice to pressure wash the entrances to the Glades once a year at a cost of $180.  It was given a motion and seconded by Jerry Hall.  The motion was approved.
• Ray also asked approval for phase 3 of the fence repair project.  The total cost of this phase is $1793.14 and needs an advance of $833.14 for supplies.  The rest of the cost is labor.  The motion was seconded by Jerry Hall and the request was approved.  Doing Phase 4 was also discussed with a cost of $4375 for 25 eight foot sections.  George McNitt stated that there was not sufficient funds to do this part at this time, so Phase 4 was put on hold until later.
• Ray also presented a proposal to replace the light fixtures at each entrance with LED lighting.  The bid that was obtained had a cost of $3786 + tax for the R Jackson Blvd entrance and $2232 + tax for the Middle Beach entrance.  Again George McNitt said the budget would not allow that to happen this year.  It was stated that the bid would be void after May 5^th and that the cost would go up.  The proposal was still tabled until the next board meeting.  In the interim, Ray said he would try to get an estimate of the energy savings these types of lights would provide.
• The light timer for the entrance on Back Beach road needed adjusting, so Steve Davis was contacted to correct the problem.  He will be sending an invoice for his services so that he can be reimbursed for his work.
• TREASURERS REPORT:  George McNitt highlighted the financial report stating the association currently had $51,801.63 in the bank and that we had a net income of $46,109.32 which is in balance.  He stated that currently there were 8 foreclosures but 3 of these had paid there assessments; one was in bankruptcy, so only 4 were outstanding at this time.  Ray motioned to accept the report, it was seconded by Jerry and approved by vote of the board.
• ENVIRONMENTAL COMMITTEE: President  Martel began with an explanation of how the committee works by describing a situation where an owner wished to erect a fence on the back of their property, which was acceptable.  But the placement of the fence was encroaching on the neighbor’s property, so the owner had to be informed that the fence would need to be set back until it was legally on their property.
• Chairman Jerry Hall then brought up that Patty Johnson had requested to paint her home white, which is an acceptable color for our association.  This led to a discussion about how many people were needed to approve a painting  project and who would those people be.  After discussion, it was concluded that three people should be in on the agreement process and those people should be Sheila Walling, Jerry Hall, and Bob Henry.
• There was also a discussion about the house that had been approved for painting, but the color it was ultimately painted was not the color approved.  The owners were willing to repaint the house but when the painter said he would do the job for an additional $400, they refused.  Reconciliation of the dispute is still ongoing.
• REPAIR AND MAINTENANCE:  Ray Lake made a request to budget $510 to plant knock-out roses in the landscaping as needed.  It was presented as a motion and seconded by Bob Henry.  The motion was passed by the board.
• NEW BUSINESS:  Treasurer McNitt made a proposal to have the 3 retention ponds sprayed for algae by Link Doctors Inc, a company specializing in aquatic chemicals for ponds.   The proposal would be for a charge of $134 per month or $1608 per year.  McNitt felt it was a good proposal that was within the budget covered by the assessment fees.  It was decided after some discussion, to table the proposal until the next meeting and bring it up as old business.
• It was discussed whether it was time to contact code enforcement to have the foreclosed home at 204 S Glades Trail cleaned.  No decision was reached formally.

The meeting adjourned at 7:35 P.M.
