The meeting was commenced at 7:35 P.M. Howard led the meeting with the Pledge of allegiance, followed by roll call of the Directors.

The minutes of the prior Board/General Meetings were available for review.

Don presented the treasurer's report which encompassed the January to June, 1999 activity of the Association.

OLD BUSINESS

1. DOT Landscape Plans (regarding Griffin Road Overpass). Bids will go out in January 2000 with work to commence April 2000. Through speaking with DOT, it is apparent that they are very inflexible with their plans and are opposed to any changes being made. Basically, the attitude of DOT is "take it or leave it!"

2. Committee Reports. John reported that he had received a few letters of complaint from homeowners regarding homes in need of repair/work, especially mildew on roofs. There were also complaints regarding the former "Shubert" house. John will shortly be reviewing the neighborhood and notices will be sent out for deficiencies.

3. Landscaping Contract. There had been three bids submitted. The Board, after careful review, chose Pan American Landscaping, with its contract to commence September 1, 1999 through August 31, 2000. Howard will send out a letter to Just Perfect thanking them for the services performed on our behalf. Also, a representative from Pan American Landscaping would be invited to the next Board meeting in August.

4. Stirling/Hawkes Bluff Entrance. The installation of the electricity should be completed shortly with the lighting being installed as soon as possible.

5. North Entrance Sign. The Board approved the plans presented by Rolf Bodstrom for the sign, at a cost of approximately $3,500.00 (not including permit costs). Rolf would apply for required permits with work to commence once the permits were secured.

6. Additional Street Lights. Howard had spoken to FP&L several weeks ago. The additional street lights, at the six approved locations, should be installed by the end of August.

NEW BUSINESS

1. Possible Annexation. The Ivanhoe Civic Association would meet on August 2, 1999 to discuss the Southwest Ranches/Sunshine Ranches planned "new city" and the possible annexation of Ivanhoe. Representatives of Pembroke Pines and Davie would not be in attendance. The President of Southwest Ranches would be in attendance.

2. Davie Police Presence. Mark Berger talked about the fact that there is only one unit assigned to our area. When that unit is called to assist another unit, our area is left unattended. This should be brought up to the Civic Association and/or the Davie Police to rectify this situation.

3. Miscellaneous Items. (A) John agreed to contact Davie regarding signs in the community not being properly placed and/or defaced. (B) Jay Stahl advised that Dykes Road was scheduled to be increased to four (4) lanes of traffic. Approximately one-half of the oak trees will probably be removed. (C) The situation with the Sunrise Water is still in litigation. Pembroke Pines is no longer with South Broward Utilities. (D) The Website was discussed. One area to be added would be offering items for sale by residents.

Next Board meeting: August 24, 1999.

There being no further business, upon motion duly made and seconded, the meeting was adjourned at approximately 8:30 p.m.

Respectfully submitted
