The BOD met last night. Board members Manny, Ben, Prentis, and John were there on time. Bryan came late, Scott and Theresa didn't attend at all. Bette Ann (Property Manager) was there, of course, as always. Two residents attended for the first hour. By the end of the meeting there were eight residents in the audience.
The BOD addressed replacement of old and damaged roofs on multiple buildings. This is the roof replacement project that was initiated more than a year ago (following hurricane Wilma).
Another focus of the Board's attention was landscaping. Realizing that the landscaping improvements are still many months in the future (maybe even years away, depending on the timing of building renovations), the Board has appropriately begun the process of developing a plan. Their first step has been to interview landscaping engineers. Having selected one, they are now in the process of negotiating a contract.
The SBA loan was addressed. Apparently the time for us to be able to benefit from this government-sponsored low-interest-rate loan has nearly expired. Isn't it ironic that it is difficult to get unit owners to vote for something that can only help them and not hurt them.
