Board of Directors Meeting
February 05, 2009
Minutes
1. The special meeting was called to order at 3:00 p.rn. by Mr. Stender.
For the Record: This meeting was originally noticed and posted to start at 2:00 p.m. The meeting was delayed to allow for the arrival of Mr. Wil Causseaux, St. John's Water Management District who was a special invitee and whose presence was crucial to the meeting.
2. A quorum was established:In Attendance: Ms. Patti Ferris, Vice President
3. Proof of Notice was given.
Ms. Lori Mattozzi, Treasurer
Mr. Bob Stone, Director
Mr. John Staszel, President (arrived at 5:30 p.m.)
Mr. Doug Stender represented Sentry Management
4. Old Business: Swale Reconstruction on Lots 32, 66, 67 and 68:
A. The homeowners of these lots were specifically invited to this meeting as the swale in question lies within their respective property lines. Homeowners Robert Knott (Lot 66), Matt Hohne (Lot 67) and Lori Mattozzi (Lot 68) were present. Homeowner Scott MacCormack (Lot 32) was not present.
5. The Board reaffirmed the next meeting will be held on Tuesday, February 10, 2009 at Sentry Management, 1645 E Hwy 50, Suite 201, Clermont, FL 34711.
Mr. Causseaux informed those present that basically one of two things was going to happen with the swale reconstruction. Either the Homeowners or the Association had to repair the swale or St. John's was going to initiate correspondence back to the Mr. Langley, the current permit holder, and demand that he repair the swale. It is well known that if St. John's goes back to Mr. Langley that in all likelihood Mr. Langley will initiate a law suite against the homeowners and/ or the Association.
Mr. Causseaux spent considerable time explaining what had to be done to repair the swale, i.e. excavating it back to its original condition. He also provided options that included laying a pipe or closing off the drain at the street to divert the water to other drains. The homeowners were informed that estimates have been received ranging in cost from $11,000 to $15,000 to excavate and one to lay a pipe at an estimated cost of $22,000 plus a required engineers plan and topographical survey at a combined cost of another $6,250.00 making the pipe laying option a total of $28,250.00. It was agreed that the least expensive and least disruptive route would be to recreate the swale by excavation. However, with Mr. MacCormack's absence it was not possible to get a unanimous commitment from the homeowners as to how to proceed.
With Mr. Causseaux's presence everyone had a better idea of what is required but there was still some discussion as to Mr. Langley's responsibility in the matter. Mr. Causseaux was informed that the Board will be meeting again on Tuesday, February 10th and that the swale issue would continue to be discussed. Mr. Causseaux asked that he be informed within a reasonable amount of time as to the Board's course of action. No motions were made or directives issued in conjunction with this meeting.
6. There being no further business to come before this Board a motion to adjourn was offered by Ms. Ferris and seconded by Mr. Stone and the meeting was adjourned at 6:00 p.m.
