Approval of the July 23 Regular Meeting Minutes. Martel motioned to approve the minutes which was seconded by Holmes and carried.

OLD BUSINESS:

POND AGREEMENT:President McNitt gave a report on the Pond Agreement with Wes Burnham. Judy Lee was not able to attend because of illness but Judy told George that Burnham has no problem with a license agreement and Judy told him the board is still working on the insurance issue. There was renewed discussion as to the benefit of a license agreement and it was agreed that even if insurance is required to protect the association, that reduced cost for maintenance, water, and electricity would be of benefit to the Glades II owners. Bridges gave a report on getting new quotes on the insurance from Coastal Insurance Agency. They can only give estimates this far out, but the they gave a total premium estimate of $1596.81 offered by Scottsdale insurance company. They will have another estimate shortly which will probably be a little higher. They assured Bridges that it covers the three ponds pictured on the pictures he gave them. A decision will be tabled until October when there is more information and the board can get firm quotes. Our current cost is $3270.00 with Travelers Insurance.

SIGN PROJECT: Mcnitt showed drawings which he had just received from the architect for the signs on R. Jackson Pkwy. There are two renderings. McNitt had previously talked with City Manager Richard Jackson who said there is no problem with the proposed placement of the signs provided there is a clear easement to keep clear of the fire hydrant. Due to space the signs will be two feet shorter than the other two entrances. There was a lot of discussion as to which of the two renderings would be the most acceptable, but it was agreed to get cost estimates from the contractor, John Spillers before making a decision.

TREASURER REPORT; Patterson provided financial information and pointed out that there is not enough money in the checking account for operations through the end of the year. He indicated that he will have to move some funds from the Reserve to finish out the year. The Board authorized him to transfer $6000.00 to the checking account. He reported that eight homeowners had not paid the $100 contribution and of this number four also had not paid their regular assessment. Patterson advised he had sent out the 45 day lien notice. Martel motioned acceptance of the report, which was seconded by Holmes and carried.

ENVIRONMENTAL/ARCHITECHURAL REPORT: Martel reported things have improved on Glades Turn. In view of difficulty in getting responses from phone calls made regarding violations, he is now leaving a nice written “violation of covenant” notice. He reported only one request for architectural approval which was turned down as it was a request to install a screen on a garage door. Patterson motioned acceptance of the report which was seconded by Bridges and carried.

REPAIRS/MAINTENANCE REPORT: Street light out on Grand Heron and Mcnitt has been in contact with Gulf Power and they will fix. The tree trimmings near the church property was the result of trimming done by the Church. Ms Lee will contact the city to remove. Holmes recommended approval of the report, seconded by Martel and carried.
