Member Open Discussion -

• Karen LaFemina asked how fines were being handled by past Boards and why a
Hearing Committee is needed. John Goede stated that by law if an Association is going
to levy fines a committee made up of peers must be formed to hear grievances related
to the fines and allow due course by the owner to make their case to overturn the
fines.
• Debbie Graves asked for a clarification about the costs of the new Valet Waste contract
and Joe Kalinowski went through the figures from year one through 2014 and explained
the escalation structure from $5.95 per unit per month to $11.95 in later years.
• A question was asked by Joe Godcharles about swimming at night. It was explained
that the State and the Collier County Health Dept provide licensing to operate the pool
and a stipulation is actual pool use is only allowed from dawn to dusk.
• Tim Gibbons had several questions - Did the Board think about hiring an employee who
would be responsible for hauling the waste. What can we do about the cut-thru from
Laurel Lakes around Bldg 16. Parking issues where neighbors have more than 2 cars
and what can be done. In response the Board replied that several options had been
considered for Valet Waste but at the end of the day the best seemed to be to stick
with the company and negotiate a better price, the Board will have to look at what the
issues are with the cut-thru and lastly parking was left alone to allow what a Board
majority felt was the most fair method of enforcement.
• Linda Sarchioni asked if there was a specific breakdown on the arrears in terms of
owner-occupied, rental units, etc. That information was not available at the time. Also,
when will the budget committee meetings take place Ken Stephens replied they have
typically been. held in the September / October timeframe and that will probably be the
same this year.
• Karen LaFemina discussed the pool monitor efforts she and Al LaFemina had made and
was unhappy in receiving a notification of termination for later in the summer. But, in
order to help the Association financially she wished to terminate immediately instead of
waiting to end of July. On this topic there was much discussion about whether the
termination will need to be revisited in the future or not but it will be a monitored issue
going forward.
• Al LaFemina reiterated his thoughts on it being possibly problematic to terminate the
pool monitoring and gave examples. Additionally, he asked about trimming garbage
pickup to 3 days vs 5. Joe Kalinowski agreed with Al on the pool issues but said we
would have to wait and see. As far as 3 or 5 days on trash it could create too many
other problems such as people being confused about the days for pickup, trash sitting
out on breezeways atracting insects, etc and companies generally locked in a 5-day
minimum.
• Debbie Graves asked about an owner/tenant ratio. Response was approximately 2:1 as
best can be tallied at this time.
• Joe Godcharles thanked the Board for the car wash.

Meeting was adjourned at 8:15pm
