COFFEE WITH THE DIRECTORS June 18th, 2008

After the Pledge of Allegiance, the suggestion box items were read.
Lot #696 comment was to let management manage and for everyone to get a life.
Lot #738, I could not hear most of the comment except the part they were proud to live here.
Becky Ray at Lot #284 asked for our gatekeepers to enforce the parks fireworks rules from now past the Fourth of July. There was some discussion on it. Issue is pending for further thought.
Mr. Risinger at Lot #281 asked to reconsider the board's cable decision on Time Warner to Dish Network.
Lot #27 had negative comments on the new fence around south end of bridge.
Lot #554 made a comment on how dirty the outdoor pool was. It was said that management hired another new employee who has been doing a good job as of late.
Lot #262 had a complaint of children driving golf carts and running wild way after curfew. It was said as of late a better job has been done on catching children driving carts.
Lot #249 suggested our three new directors who are named on the petition resign.
Lot #O asked about HD channels from Time Warner. The answer was zero but could get HD for $7.95 more. A second comment was about having a problem on acquiring new pool bracelets. Director Steffensen gave a sincere apology and said this rarely happens.
Larry from Lot #142 made a positive comment about the pool monitors.
From the floor Mr. Risinger wanted information on the lock procedures for the new bridge fence and if management will be enforcing on keeping the outsiders from fishing. That started a long discussion on why the fence was put there in the first place. It was basically for liability reasons.
Larry from Lot #142 said the owners should try to be the examples of showing respect.
An owner asked what distance from the seawall does an owner have? The answer was 21 feet.
Our board president announced Director Peterson was not in attendance due to the death of his mother.
Hurricane stickers were a topic of discussion. In short it was said to get them in Port Isabel. They are good for years. You will not be able to enter LIV until our manager says you can after an evacuation. There will be a phone # and e-mail available to owners.
An owner said numerous golf carts are not tied down. This started discussions about fines, flower pots flying, tornadoes and so forth.
An owner asked why the tie down rules appear to be only in the building rules instead of elsewhere, so as to be more notable? The response was, it is.
That’s it.

Board of Directors Workshop

Agendas to be covered at next meeting

Director McBride agendas were fire safety,recording of the coffee w/directors comments, and providing a copier for owners.
Director Steffensen has reports for the pool and audit committees.
President Sullivan said we have to raise the hourly payroll about a dollar an hour because of gas prices. It was then noted that a 50 cents raise would cost the Village $42,640 annually. It was tossed around and will be a finalized in the next weeks meeting. Modular housing was brought up as a subject on home replacements in case of a hurricane to review.
Director Mulch wished to shorten the process on the Board’s minutes and their corrections. It was also suggested only to record the motions that pass and not the conversations and opinions on how and why they were passed. What was done and not what was said. A director said my opinion or anyone's opinions should not be recorded in the minutes.
Director's Burke said her agenda is to act on our gated fence which sits on Mr. Freeland’s property. It appears that the board will give him their response in writing to keep an existing contract tight.
