2 Gate Committee No report from Joe. James advised that per Ray Etheridge we have a revised quote from All Tech to fix the gate. The first bid was for $ but after closer inspection, they realized that the gate had to be replaced, not repaired, for a quote of $3285. The Board agreed to proceed on the basis of the revised quote. Joe moved and Peg seconded to replace gate lights with energy efficient ones. Motion carried unanimously. Glenn advised that he felt a camera is needed on the Gate. Joe will talk to Mike Jones for recommendations. Glenn moved and Steve seconded to approve budget line item of $5000 to buy and install camera system at gate. Motion carried with five for and with Peg abstaining. Beautification Committee: Report attached. Roads Committee: Report attached. James asked about flat curbs at intersections. Van said they were very expensive. He will check on price. He further stated that scraping asphalt would increase costs by 35% but would extend road life by double. James asked how much is saved in staging cost when we combine two years of resurfacing, to which Vann replied $1000. Development Committee: James Buttram reported for John Fennell. Upon checking with the Escambia County Development Review Committee, there have not been any applications filed for new developments on Innerarity Island. Joe advised that Fayette Dennison will be clearing property and develop the last phase on the island (Seascape area). He intends to remove the large pine trees. Since he is developing the lots, Joe expects some of our neighbors to ask questions, especially regarding the 5 rule. This will be clearing of the large pines by professional timber company which will allow Gulf Power to do their thing. Treasurer Report Report attached.

9 ROAD COMMITTEE REPORT - NOVEMBER 2011 MEETING In response to the BOD request, the Road Committee has revised the attached Master Road Plan to incorporate all Island roads as directed by the July BOD Meeting. According to the Treasurer, it appears this year's annual budget will carry forward approximately $65,000 into next year. If an emergency fund of $30,000 is maintained and the 2012 budget realizes $53,000 in income and $35,000 in expenses, the potential is to add $18,000 to the Road or infrastructure funds in As such, we have advanced all dates in the Plan to begin next year (2012 vs. 2013). The Plan would be to resurface both Red Cedar and North Shore Lane (first 132 feet) in 2012 at an estimated cost of $32,500. If the Developer does further develop the Seascape area, we could move their resurfacing ahead of other non-used roads/circles on the island. The addition of the resultant Seascape income would also benefit the Association in the outlying years. Of course we can always adjust the schedule for outlying years as more development occurs. After all, this is strictly "a plan" for the future and we will tweak it annually as may be required. Grass is growing up in the roadbeds of several unused roads. The Road Committee did apply "Roundup" and scraping to grass growing in portions of the asphalt roadbed on North Shore Court. While somewhat effective, this is a very time-consuming and labor intensive effort. Submitted for review & approval. Vann Goodloe, Chair November 1, 2011

10 MASTER ROAD PLAN for Innerarity Island Association, Inc. August 2011 REVISION PURPOSE: The following revised Master Road Plan is intended as a planning tool for the Board of Directors to maintain all Island roads, less the causeway, in a reasonable operating condition and within the Association budget. This revision will be submitted at the next regularly scheduled Board of Directors (BOD) meeting. The overall Plan was developed using the information and analysis provided by PSI and Kenneth Horne & Associates (2002) to the BOD, Innerarity Island Association. At the July 2011 BOD Meeting, the BOD voted to include ALL island roads in the Plan. This resulted in the addition of nine (9) additional roadways. OVERVIEW: Resurfacing for all roads on the island will consist of 1 ½ overlay of FDOT S-1 asphalt. Installation and replacement of curbing is not included in these estimates. Estimated costs include mobilization, cleaning of surface, leveling and patching, and Type S-1 resurfacing. The Board of Directors approved a repaving schedule that is based upon repaving projects every other year beginning in 2009 to include a revised priority listing shown below of roads to be resurfaced. Sixteen (16) projects are listed in priority order over a thirteen (13) year period with estimated costs (all shown in Year 2011 dollars) and approximate distances/square yards to be resurfaced. A conservative estimate of future year costs would be 10% per year inflation based on year 2011 dollar amounts (shown) and an increase in asphalt costs. Lengths are all approximate and will require Roads, Inc. final certification. Street Length Cost $ Date/Year Repave Red Cedar St. (West) 3500 SY $30, North Shore Lane (1 st 132 ) 300 SY $2, Egret Circle 500 SY $4, Blue Heron Circle 650 SY $5, North Shore Way (East) 3000 SY $20, North Shore Rd. (East) 6000 SY $40, Red Cedar St. (East) 3000 SY $20, North Shore Court (East) 345 SY $ North Shore Cove 1040 SY $8, North Shore Lane (Phase 2) 1065 SY $9, Seascape Drive (Phase 2) 2400 SY $20, Seascape Street (Phase 2) 2000 SY $17,

11 Seascape Circle 1100 SY $9, Seascape Court 920 SY $7, Seascape Lane 1950 SY $16, Shores Circle 500 SY $4, Notes: (1) Road resurfacing completed in 2006 included North Shore Drive, west end of Innerarity Point Road, Innerarity Lane, Innerarity Circle, Innerarity Circle spur road and two patches on Seascape. Total cost expended was $109,469. (2) Road resurfacing completed in 2007 included North Shore Way (West), causeway reinforcement & rip rap, asphalt patching and new gate turn-around pad. Total cost expended was $57,569. (3) Due to budget constraints and delays on the causeway MSBU, no resurfacing projects occurred in 2008 or (4) Board approval for 2010 included resurfacing and widening the second phase of Innerarity Point Road, to include lane striping and installation of three (3) speed bumps with signage ($53,625); and resurfacing portions of Seascape ($17,500). Total cost expended was $71,125. (5) Road Committee recommended, and Board approved, the urgent resurfacing of North Shore Court due to rapidly deteriorating conditions and safety concerns. Resurfacing completed on March 23, Total cost expended was $9,950. Additionally, two Children at Play signs were erected adjacent to two of the speed bumps on Innerarity Point Road at a cost of $ In accordance with the Innerarity Island Association Declaration of Covenants, Article 11, Section 14 and Article 5, Section 5 (Transfer of Rights & Assumption of Obligations) which was ratified and confirmed by Amendment number 2 dated December 8, 2000 and effective December 13, 1999, repair and maintenance of all island roads are the responsibility of the association and all property owners. RECOMMENDATIONS: 1. Based upon the annual budget and NO INCREASE IN ANNUAL ASSESSMENTS, this Plan Revision is recommended. 2. For any road segments that connect to Russell Bayou Development, their cost share percentage of 21% (2010 estimate) for road improvements should be applied. 3. Annually, inflation should be reviewed by the BOD and any recommended adjustment to the Plan, as appropriate, presented at the annual Innerarity Island Association Meeting in December for review and approval.
