The meeting was called to order by Howard Neu at approximately 7:40 P.M. Roll call of directors was taken, with Mo being the only director absent.
Treasurer's Report: Jeff reported that the total amount on deposit was the sum of $62,087.59, comprised of the following: $3,789.28 (checking account); $11,946.70 and $25,856.23 (money market accounts); and $20,495.38 (certificate of deposit). Jeff stated that the CD had recently been renewed, for a six month term, bearing interest at 5.37% (5.50% annual yield).
Jeff advised that due to Pan American Landscaping having cashed two checks (having received a second check due to Pan American stating that the original check had never been received). Due to the two checks being cashed, there was insufficient monies in the checking account and the Association incurred bank charges in the amount of $145.00 to cover five checks. The Board felt that Pan American should reimburse the Association for the bank charges as well as pay 1-1/2% on the excess funds they had received until their account was current. Jeff and Mike would attempt to meet with Pan American to go over their records.
Jeff had requested that he be supplied with invoices/bills from Miele Brothers as several checks had been written and he needed to have the backup. Mike Murphy advised that he had them and would get copies to Jeff. Mike had advised that those checks had partially been in payment of center island lighting, work on the north end, repairing and upgrading of lights, and general maintenance.
The following matters were discussed:
1. Assessments. Jay stated that there were four assessments had not been paid and that the Association's attorney would be advised to proceed with liens being filed against the homeowners. The properties involved are: 5150 Briarwood Way, 5620 Hawkes Bluff Avenue, 5821 Hawkes Bluff Avenue, and 15541 Lancelot Lane.
2. Huntridge Fence. The total cost for removal was $1,250.00. This amount would be billed to the owner of the vacant lot. Also, a letter would be sent by the Association's attorney notifying the owner o f the charge along with the fact that the fencing material was currently being stored with Pan American and that arrangements should be made to pick up the material or the fencing material would be disposed of.
3. North End Sign. As the City of Sunrise owns the parcel where the sign is to be erected, a site plan would have to be presented at the May 30th meeting for approval. Also, the Town was requiring that 50 square feet of flowers be planted in front of the sign.
4. Light Poles. It was noted that the six light poles had been installed by Florida Power & Light.
5. Picnic. It was reported that the picnic was well attended. The Board, for future picnics, should look into having a bounce house, clown, etc. for the kids.
6. Miscellaneous: Mike advised that he had spoken with Bob Rawls who stated that the blacktopping of the streets in Hawkes Bluff would be put in as part of Davie's master plan. Therefore, over the next year, the streets should be repaved. Mike also said that the Stirling median, up to Dykes Road, should be landscaped within the next year. Mike also would check with Quarry Electric to make sure all lights were working properly. Mike said that he would take care of cementing the benches so that they are permanently installed.
New Business:
The Board discussed the possibility of having a fountain, with lights, installed into the lake adjacent to Hawkes Bluff Avenue (west of I75). It was thought that it would be aesthetically pleasing improvement to the neighborhood.
The next Board meeting is scheduled for June 27, 2000.
There being no further business, upon motion duly made and seconded, the meeting was adjourned at 8:40 p.m.
Respectfully submitted
