The meeting was commenced at approximately 7:40 P.M.
Old Business:
1. Holiday Awards. If Jeff had not already purchased the Home Depot gift certificates for the six winners, Mo volunteered to get a check from Jeff and then purchase them so they would be available for presentation at the General Meeting to be held on January 25, 2000.
2. Budget. Upon motion made and duly seconded, the proposed Budget was unanimously approved.
3. Landscaping. Mike reported on the status of the landscaping improvements, advising that the landscaping hedges by the lakes, on both Hawkes Bluff Avenue and Huntridge Road, should be completed by January 25th. Mike also advised that if the parts were available, the various broken lights should be fixed shortly. He also said that an electric box would be installed at the north entrance which would allow for installation of lights in the future. Also, Mike stated that the landscaper would do additional mulching in February.
4. North Entrance Wall/Sign. Rolf Bodstrom would be meeting with Bob Rawls to get whatever was needed from the Town of Davie for their consent to the wall being erected. Howard was to sign a letter as President of the Association in connection with the wall.
5. Florida Power & Light. Jay confirmed that the additional light poles were finally being installed. The first one was in on Surrey Circle West. He had noted excavation and footings at additional locations.
6. Boat/RV Storage Facility. Mo would attempt to notify Waverly 100's Association in order to set up a meeting with our Association and the Town of Davie so that the plans for the storage facility could proceed.
New Business:
1. DeRemer Driveway Extension. John presented the last revised plan submitted regarding the proposed extension. As there were no prohibitions in the covenants, the proposed plan was unanimously approved subject to it meeting all setback requirements and that Mr. DeRemer's plan was in conformity with drainage and engineering requirements. John would notify Mr. DeRemer of the Association's conditioned approval.
2. Davie Homeowner Association Assembly. Davie had requested that each homeowner association submit the name of two delegates, with the first meeting to be held either on February 7 or 8, at the Police Department. The meetings would be held quarterly. Our representatives would be John Pickett and Mike Murphy, with Mo Christie being their alternate.
3. Candidates Night. As the next election for Mayor and one Councilman's seat was approaching (March 14th), Jay inquired about the Association hosting a candidates night. After discussion, the Board decided not to be involved, as it was felt that there would be a very low attendance.
4. Huntridge Vacant Lots. As the Association received another complaint regarding the condition of the vacant lots, Jay stated that he would send out a letter, by certified mail, to the owner demanding the lots be cleaned up and kept clear of debris. If the owner did not undertake this, the Association would and bill him for the costs incurred.
5. Holiday Inn Express. Jay advised that there were plans to build a 102 room Holiday Inn Express behind Regency Plaza. He also advised that there were plans to build a restaurant (type unknown). These additional businesses would only add to the traffic coming out of the shopping center onto Volunteer Road.
The next general meeting will be January 25, 2000, at the community center.
There being no further business, upon motion duly made and seconded, the meeting was adjourned at approximately 8:30 p.m.
Respectfully submitted
