Playground
Project::
Prior to any discussion
of this project, the attorney had to explain that it was proper procedure for
Jimmy Patrizi to present the proposals as there was an objection to this that came
from one of the many residents attending the meeting.
Three bids were received
and they were reviewed at last month’s meeting.
Subsequent to that meeting a representative from Miracle met with some
of the board members at the existing playground site and adjustments were
made. Their proposal was now $93,654.54.
A discussion ensued with
residents questions/comments:
·
Total price was too high
·
Number of children in the community was
questioned
·
Where the monies were coming from
·
Misconception that residents would be assessed
·
Residents should have been allowed to review and
provide input
At this point, the
attorney and another resident attempted to calm the residents that were all
speaking at the same time and requested that they be respectful of each other’s
views. A female resident attempted to
explain in Spanish for those that may not understand. Another resident that was a board member
years ago explained the builder restrictions that are within the codes that
forbid us from turning the playground and/or tennis courts into something else. He also noted that there were repairs done on
the playground over twelve years ago that cost $25,000 and this new bid is
replacing the sand and replacing it with a rubber foundation. Another resident that works with the schools
tried to explain that the cost was reasonable for today’s market.
SWIMMING LESSONS:
Questions surrounding the
upcoming swimming lessons that will be offered free that has been coordinated
with the YMCA Mobile Aquatics Team at our pool were discussed. More information
will be forthcoming and there is no liability on our part.
MISCELLANEOUS:
Painting Project –
This will be discussed at our next meeting along with the replacement of fences
at the townhomes.
Towing- Issues
surrounding the Parking Policy and towing issues will be discussed at the next
meeting.
Residents were reminded
to check our Web site for news of any upcoming meetings and a notice is always
placed at the bulletin board by the pool regarding location.
Playground
A motion was made by Jan
and seconded by John to move forward with the playground project. All the board members agreed with one
abstention. The motion passed.
At this time, the
community meeting was adjourned at 8:20PM.
The Condominium meeting
was called to order at 8:20PM
The funding monies for
the playground project are in the condominium funds and this is a community
project so funds in the amount of $76,654.53 have to be moved. Jan made motion and Cari seconded the motion and
it was unanimously approved to move the funds from the Condominium reserves to
Community playground reserves. This will
not result in any assessment for homeowners.
Meeting adjourned at
8:25PM.
