SECRETARY’S REPORT:
Trustee Osborne read the meeting minutes from August 12th, 2025. A motion was made by Trustee Osborne to accept the minutes. Trustee Terri seconded.
TREASURER’S REPORT:
Our account balance as of 7/31/2025 was $6,916.12 with an ending balance of $6,351.08 as of 8/29/2025.
The following bills have been accrued since the last meeting and are presented for payment:
- $40.04 TECO
- $525.00 Big League lawn service
Trustee Osborne made a motion to approve the above payments, seconded by Trustee Terri. The board unanimously approves.
OLD BUSINESS:
Trustee Osborne updated the board that the FY26 budget package was sent to the County for review and confirmed receipt. No further comment was provided by the County at this time.
The board discussed swapping out spray irrigation for drip irrigation to mitigate wall staining at the entrances. This work would be performed in the new fiscal year, after any wall cleaning/repainting is performed. The board would still like to get a remedy for the walls stains from the well water, whether our subcontractor contact Alan B. can do it or some other soft wash company. This will be discussed and bid upon at future meetings.
Trustee Osborne makes motion to file an unaudited financial statement for the FY25 period, as allowable per the County, and to send a notification letter to the property owners (by Sept. 30th). Trustee Cinquegrano Seconds. Trustee Osborne will send a letter to property owners. There was some discussion regarding adding a notice regarding the 1 board vacancy into the letter as well.
NEW BUSINESS:
Trustee Terri commented that he had Alan come out to look at the entrance walls for cleaning. He noted there was no public water hookup, so would have to ask neighbors for permission at each side of the street to get the job done for pressure washing. Instead, it was discussed that the board would hire a company that has a water truck and could do the job on its own, such as CertaPro that we have used in the past. Trustee Terri proposes to call CertaPro to provide bid to clean walls. Bid to be presented at next monthly meeting.
The board discussed the need for a bid to replace the spray heads with drip irrigation at the entrances to avoid future wall staining, as the well water has caused stains. Current lawn service vendor Big League could potentially do both the irrigation work and the new plantings. Trustee Terri to call Big League and request a proposal for the work for presentation at next monthly meeting.
Trustee Plunkett discussed that he continues to troubleshoot and consider the potential for solar lights in the neighborhood.
