1. MINUTES OF LAST GENERAL MEETING

The Minutes of the October 23, 1998 general meeting was summarized by Howard. The items detailed to the meeting were:

A. All homeowners' fees due for the years '97 and '98 have been resolved, except for one home. A lien was placed on it and foreclosure is in process.

B. Griffin Road Overpass. DOT's response to our inquiry was that those present really did not hear what was said. DOT's position remains the same, improvements to be done March of 2000.

C. We are still attempting to have additional speed humps installed.

D. Street lights -- the board had recently met and visited the six locations approved by FPL, marking the suggested area of placement for the light poles. We still would like to get additional areas lighted.

E. Jay Stahl advised that at the last council meeting, the town stated that a survey was being drawn up and would go out to all customers serviced by Sunrise. This related to the class action lawsuit filed. The Town of Davie has a valid suit against Sunrise for high water fees.

F. Community garage sale - it was hoped that details would be finalized so it could occur in February.

2. HOLIDAY LIGHTING AWARDS

The gift certificates were presented. The only winners present were Sharon Englebrecht and Robert Burns.

3. BUDGET

Don reviewed the budget for 1999 in detail. The final budget follows these minutes. Numerous questions were asked from the floor and responded to.

NEW BUSINESS - OLD BUSINESS

A. The lighting of the Stirling/Hawkes Bluff median was discussed.. Although we have entered into a contract for the work, there is a delay in starting the project because permits are needed to make the road cut.

B. The Davie Police Department issued an inter-office memo indicating that speeding in Ivanhoe would continue to be monitored. Advised that citations have increased.

 

C. Howard will write a letter to Bob Rawls asking if it would be possible to convert the striped area at the Stirling/Hawkes Bluff entrance to a green space area, so that the parking of cars can be stopped.

D. There will be a meeting on February 8th regarding the Park at Waverly and Waterford Park, to be conducted by the Davie Parks Department.

E. John advised that the campaign to keep our community beautiful would be re-commenced in approximately 10 days (now that the holidays are over and the weather is cooler, etc.).

F. It was discussed regarding the adoption of a Bylaws change to allow absentee ballots to be counted towards a quorum at the annual meeting. A motion was made by Carol Stoller that absentee ballots be counted. The motion was seconded and passed unanimously. At the next board meeting, the matter will be addressed and the exact wording would be decided upon.

C. Jay brought up the matter of the lights on Dykes Road needing to be repaired.

H Tom Thumb was discussed. Jay advised that a no right turn on red sign was requested by the Town of Davie to be installed by Broward County.

5. WEBSITE

It was suggested that the names of service people (who live in our community) should be placed on the Association's website so that they can be contacted by our residents.

There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at approximately 9:10 p.m.

Respectfully submitted
