2 THE LANDINGS HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION, INC. BOARD OF DIRECTORS MEETING MINUTES January 20, 2015 Quorum: The meeting was called to order at 7:07 p.m. In attendance: Ellen Bonus, Chuck Bradley, Tom Carter, Anna Wong- Borzumato, and Bill Bowmar. Also there, Gasner Guerrier and Pat Pirela from Top Notch Management Services (TNMS). A quorum was present. Minutes: Motion: Anna mentioned that the pressure washing statement was not correct. The entry walkway and pool path were not completed properly. Bill motioned to accept the minutes from December 18, 2015 as corrected. Chuck seconded the motion, all in favor, motion carried. Financials: Financials were reviewed. Community News: Representatives from the Longwood Police Department and Citizens on Patrol attended the meeting. They informed the Board that crimes of opportunity represent the most common types of crimes in the area. They also mentioned roofers have been soliciting business door to door. They urge the community to report unwanted solicitation by calling the non-emergency number as it is not allowed in the City of Longwood. ACB: Maggie Ruddy, chairperson of the ACB committee reported the following applications were received and approved: SP: New roof FM: Exterior painting BS: Exterior painting HB: New fence. Maggie mentioned that a permit may be needed, TR: Double-paned windows LD: New roof. Unfinished Business: 1211HB: Chuck mentioned as of December this unit is owned by JSM Group. Bill asked if the owner has made any payments towards the past HOA dues. Chuck reported it may take some time before any payment hits the HOA s books as dues are first paid to Alliance, then forwarded to TNMS. TNMS will check on the status of this unit with Alliance and then send a status report to the Board. Minutes continued on next page...

3 1111BS: This unit was awarded to the HOA. There is no bank foreclosure yet. The HOA was exploring the possibility to rent it out. However, the Board believes the rental income may not make up for the estimated repairs of $28,000. They added this unit is in need of a new roof and kitchen. Ellen mentioned the house is full of mold caused by water that runs behind the walls when it rains. Chuck said we should explore the possibility of buying it from the bank and then reselling it. He also added we need to find out what would be the right method to sell it. TNMS suggested the bank would have to agree to lower the price and would have to be involved in some way in the sale of this unit. Chuck believes we could sell this unit for about $150,000. Brown patch fungus: There is brown patch fungus on much of the grass in common areas. Orkin is in the process of treating it. Pool gate entry system: TNMS presented the bids for the pool gate and tennis gate. Chuck wanted to know the specifics of the system. He believes a digital system with internet integration is the most appropriate as it would allow us to add and remove people at any time and from anywhere. Pool gate/ metal work: Tom mentioned Bart from Access reliability said it is not necessary to install a new gate. He said Bart could fix the existing gate at a low cost. TNMS will contact Bart to request an estimate for the metal/welding work of the gate. Tennis court entry system: Bill said a lock-in key system for the tennis courts would be the most appropriate. The Board mentioned we can discuss this possibility after the pool gate entry system is finished. Motion: Bill motioned to accept Access Reliability s bid for $3,370 to install a new pool gate entry system. Chuck seconded the motion. All in favor, motion carried. Front entrance gate: TNMS reported that the telephone entry system has been having issues. Ellen mentioned CenturyLink noted there may be a short in one of the wires. Chuck said Bart was able to fix the problem by resetting and cleaning the control panel. Front entrance shack: Bill asked Tom how much work was left on the entrance shack. Tom said that as long as there are no more termites, completion is expected by Saturday. Otherwise it will take longer to complete. Minutes continues on next page...

4 Vendor contracts: TNMS located Orkin s contract and presented it to the Board. Ellen mentioned Orkin serviced all common areas in the front, around the pool, lake, and cul de sac islands. She also requested a copy of all vendors contracts going forward so all board members become familiar with the services we now use. Pest control Rats: Bill says he has seen rats in the common areas. Chuck requested that TNMS makes sure Massey services baits in the traps properly. He would also like TNMS to obtain the price for one more trap. Irrigation: Bill requested TNMS to obtain one more bid for the installation of a new 5HP single booster pump to increase water pressure into the irrigation system. New Business: Lantern lights: A Homeowner mentioned there are a few broken lanterns. Chuck mentioned the gas lamp post by the entrance has been broken for about a year. Anna reported a lamp post by the pool that seems damaged. Chuck requested that Anna conduct an inspection of all lights and lists them with reference numbers for repairs. Loose irrigation wiring: The Board reported there is an exposed irrigation wire behind Bill Bowmar s house. Bill mentioned the irrigation company has not come back to fix it. The Board is not satisfied with Landscape Design s job performance in regard to irrigation and would like to find someone else to fix this problem. Speeding issue: A young driver has been seen speeding and tailgating. The Board asked that TNMS send the Homeowner a violation letter. Parking on the streets: Chuck mentioned he often places orange stickers on vehicles that are parked on the streets after 8PM. Towing Signs: Tom asked TNMS if Courtesy Towing was notified about missing Towaway signs. TNMS informed the Board they had contacted Courtesy Towing and has sent them pictures of poles without signs. Cars parked in common areas: There are a few cars parked by the pool on a steady basis. Chuck responded there are no restrictions on parking by pool, therefore no laws or rules are being broken. Limited parking: Ellen and Maggie mentioned that common parking in the back by Crestbrook Loop is usually full. Chuck said we should explore the possibility of getting additional parking spaces by creating extra spots on the cul de sac islands. Meeting Adjuourned at 8:12 PM
