Some work was done on our irrigation system. The new supervisor is handling the clean up and it looks spotless. There are work orders slips in the mailbox in the parking lot that must be handed in if you need any work done. We have also moved the watering cycle from 10 to 15 minutes, which has helped a lot.

Roads and FPL Lights: Tommy Rudolph reported that the roads are good. We have no FPL lights out.

Lollipops and Carriage Lights: Tommy Rudolph reported there were 12 lollipops/carriage lights out. All 12 are repeats for the last four months. Mike will take the list and send it to our attorney.

Two homes that need work:  Mike told Bill that we need to talk to the attorney regarding the two homes that need work. Given the names and addresses, Bill will speak with the attorney tomorrow.

New Business

Work Orders: Mike reported that we will be talking to Tom, our IT person, about the system called The Ticket that Rec is using. This system is all done electronically where a resident can go on their computer and give their name, address and what the problem is and Bob will be able to go in to see what the problem is and address it with a service call. We are going to adopt this program.

Rec Board:  Mike reported that the Rec Board would like to go door to door to gather permission for their electronic voting. The board approved this.

Summer Business Meetings: Mike discussed with the Board the summer meeting schedule. In the past we did not meet in July and August. However, with the Rec dealing with the special assessment and other issues with the residents, we will be meeting in July but not in August.

Good and Welfare: Joann Jacobson accused Sam Fleishman and said he admitted to reporting eleven residents to Palm Beach County Home Inspections regarding work done on residents’ homes. She is asking the Board to make him stop! The Board cannot do anything legally but we will talk to him by bringing him in front of the Board.

Adjournment: The meeting was adjourned at 8:35pm with a motion from Alan Rossman and seconded by Nancy Grasso.
