NEIGHBORHOOD (NBHD) REPRESENTATIVES (REP) MEETING

3 MAY 2010 – ISLAND CLUB

 I     Meeting Call to Order

           A.  At 0900 President Dowling called the meeting to order and led the Pledge of Allegiance.  

           B.  Roll call was conducted by Secretary Linda Skowronski:  absent were directors Jim Waddell, Ellen McNamara, Bill Pascoe, Paul Pike, Damian Romano and Treasurer Della Blanchard.  Of the Neighborhood representatives, 33 were in attendance, 14 absent.  

 II    Comments from NBHD REPS

           A.  NBHD #1: 

                    1.  Marilyn Coppolino:

                              a. Turned in flyers found in residents’ cubbies regarding housekeeping and lawn service to Ali.

 .                            b. Discussed the horrible condition of the Bonner house. i.e., weeds, overgrown bushes, need for power washing.  Is DECCA responsible for upkeep?  Ali responded DECCE is only responsible for grass cutting but she will get an update.

                              c. Would DECCA consider putting in hand rails in the (upper) hot tub?  Ali will check but stated that per code instructions, DECCA is not responsible to do so.

                     2.  Caryle Thoms:

                             a. A rental house (owned by Scott Frank) has a bench, statues, and flag poles in the front resulting in resident complaints   Do renters get a copy of the deed restrictions?  Ali responded it is the home owners’ responsibility to ensure renters are made aware; suggested a copy be placed in the home’s cubby.

                              b. A resident has a green tent full of junk that can be seen from the street.  In addition, 3 unleashed dogs, one of which chased a resident.  Ali said the Sheriff should be called.

           B.  NBHD #2:  Bridget Savouras –

                    1.  Received several complaints regarding Robinson lawn (waist high).

                    2.  Heard rumor that no assisted living building was going on the 9-hole area.  Ali said DECCA is still not sure what will go there but that assisted living is at the top of the list. Ali/Eileen concurred it would take 1-2 years before anything was done and that they would do their best to inform the residents when a decision is made.

                    3.  Another rumor – people can still pay to play on the 9-hole course.  Ali said no – as a matter of fact some folks were walking the course and were asked to leave.  No one is to be on the course.

                    4.  The Orchid Club pool has a crack in the bottom and chipped steps; will the pool be closed in Jul/Aug for repairs?  Ali said DECCA is aware of the issues and that the repairs can be done without closing the pool.

           C.  NBHD #3: Mary Buerge – there is a storm drain that is full/stopped up which is eroding the area due to heavy rains.

           D.  NBHD #4: Norma Morse –

                    1.  Property at 8431 SW 109 Lane has uncut grass, tools all around the outside; turned in ARB to Ali.

                    2.   What’s the status of the bus service?  Ali’s response was that the bus is down for repairs, driver codes have changed, Marion transit service is $1 ea way and she will look into this further.

           E.  NBHD #5: Ken Woodward:  Orchid Club pool furniture is nasty/dirty.  Also, why have only half the chairs (Orchid Club) been reupholstered?  It’s been about a year.  Ali stated that while it’s possible the work is being done on those that need it most first, the chairs are supposed to be two colors.    

           F.  NBHD #6:  Marci Hutto:  How much leeway should non-maintained homeowners be given on poorly looking lots before being written up.  Ali/Eileen consensus is to what a bit. 

           G.  NBHD #9:  John Kish: 

                    1,  There are now 37 lights out around the Island Club; service does not appear to be keeping up there, and the jets on the spa (hot tub) are not working.  Ali responded that the jets are working; just that one area is not as strong as the other.  When John said the residents would like both sides operating the same he was asked to turn in a write up.  Also, he saw a woman with her dog in the pool.  While she did remove the dog at his request, it was suggested that should this happen (at any pool) Security be called.

                    2.   John also discussed a deteriorating lawn situation at the Lawrence location and turned in a write up to Ali.

                    3.   Also brought up the lack of television signals which brought about some discussion.  However, he did not call it in and general consensus was that things cannot be fixed if calls are not made.

           H.  NBHD #14: 

                    1, Andy Alloro:  Thanked DECCA for their work regarding the water drainage at the Bocce court.  Is it possible they can also power wash the pavers? 

                    2.  Bruce MacDuffee:  Received many complaints regarding neighborhood signs looking shabby, needing paint. 

           I.  NBHD #15: 

                    1.  Janet Madsen:  Maintained lots are not improving, work orders are being ignored, and no improvement is being seen. 

2.  Connie Smith: 

          a. Last meeting it was stated that the sign in the Preserve had been replaced.  It hasn’t, at least not the one she’s been requesting (@ 79th Circle and 117th St Rd).

          b.   Grass at the Wilder house needs attention; write has been turned in.

          J. NBHD #16:  Russ Acquard:    Oak tree at Parkview West needs attention.    

           K.  NBHD #18:  Edwina Barrett:  Same machines have been down for months at the Fitness Center

           L.  NBHD #19:  Veronica Andrews: 

                    1.  On the maintained lots, it appears the workers don’t know which are maintained, which are not.

                    2.  Air conditioning not working at Palm Grove during Ballroom Dancing (Security called but wasn’t able to help).

                    3.  Gate at the front entrance (200) has been broken for a while.  Ali said parts are on order.

           M.  NBHD #21: Jack Schnabel:  Looking for transportation update.  Ali stated that when SR 200 was two lanes (and there were no doctors’ offices or shopping available) DECCA was required to provide this service.  She’s not sure what’s required now but will check.

           N.  NBHD #22: 

                    1, Shirley Kutzer:  People are being waved through the gates.

                    2.  Joan Veale: 

                              a. Thanked DECCA for taking care of the issue at the east end of Crescent Oaks South but did request that a gouge (apparently made by a truck) be filled in with dirt so grass can eventually grow and alleviate a potential safety issue. 

                              b. Some neighbors on the east end are using the area as a parking lot; write up has been turned in.  Ali will check to see if a letter has been sent.

                              c. Could DECCA please check the water system at the cul-de-sac at the opposite end-neighbors are using their water to keep area watered.

           O.  NBHD #24:  Lois Meredith:  As weeds are green perhaps that’s why areas are being neglected, particularly around DRAs.

           P.  NBHD #25: 

                    1.  Joyce Dargie-Moniuk:

                              a. Trees need trimming at entrances as they are hitting tops of motor homes/buses.  Ali had submitted this and Malcolm will do all trimming at one time; getting ready to do the entire boulevard.

                              b. Two tree fronds have been cut, and look great.  However, there are fronds on the ground that should be cleaned up.  Ali stated this should be done daily.

                              c. Palm Grove lights are on all night; waste of electricity.

                              d. Problems with kids (apparently under age 14) driving golf carts.  Ali said Sheriff should be called.

                    2.  Cindy Kocher:  Regarding Kathy Williams comments about the poor condition of the outside furniture at Royal Oaks, it is indeed in poor shape.  She also thanked DECCA for quickly cleaning up the fencing around Eagles Point.

 Cindy also notified the reps about an upcoming cruise that, due to such a low price, cannot wait to be put into the Travel Brochure.  She gave details and the sign up date of 24 May.

 III  Comments from Directors

           A.  Ellen Salinger: 

                    1.  EMS will have an ambulance and presentation at the next meeting.

                    2.  Will check with Pat Gabriel as to what’s going on with the Sim’s location (across from Oak Run entrance).

           B.  Eileen Dowling: 

                    1.  Board met with Tim Lafferty and Malcolm regarding the maintenance issue.  They are aware of the level of residents concerns.  Board hopes to see a difference by the end of May.

                    2.  Tim Lafferty, Malcolm, and Massey will attend the next meeting and address residents concerns.  Please bring your questions but above all please be courteous and professional.  The Board and DECCA are working toward improvements. 

 At 1015 President Dowling adjourned the meeting.

Linda Skowronski
