Lot 638 was concerned about the number of people at the cocktail parties and safety in locking of the entry accesses. Answer was you can still exit.
Lot 726 had several questions pertaining to dredging issues. Asked when the last dredging was, which canals were dredged and who paid for it? He asked how many people have complained about the sediment build up and where are these problems. P. Burke said a number of owners have complained about the corners and entrances to our canals. He mentioned that since he was an inside owner he had a problem with being assessed. P. Burke said the Declaration clearly states everyone pays their 1024th share.
Lot? Asked how many Board members own water front property? Dir. White was the only one who said she didn’t. Dir. Gagan said he owns two boats, one a 24’ that drafts a lot of water. He said he took that boat out last Sunday from canal F through G and down H without stirring up one bit of silt. P. Burke rambled for five minutes until Dir. Bergsma gave his assessment towards why we should dredge the canals. He said he can only get his boat up on his lift during high tide. He remembers when dolphins and trout swam the canals. He said the Village canals have a bad silt problem and they are full of crap. He said we have a permit that ends this year and we have John Freeland who is willing to take this crap and save the Park possibly 3 million dollars in disposal costs. He said it will decrease property values if left undone. He said this was a onetime offer to save a lot of money.
Lot 288 said to please mail in your proxies or attend to vote to make a quorum. March the 1st will be candidate’s night.

Lot 802 said we have a criminal working in our Park. He said guy ripped him off for $1300 last year. After proving that to management and some of the people on the Board, he was assured that this person would never be allowed in this Park. This owner said he saw just now working in the Park. Management said they didn’t know he was here and had to be working for a contractor that didn’t know he was banned.
Treasurer Steffensen said that the finance committee met again and has trimmed the budget’s bottom line with changes to the Major Improvements.
P. Burke said she talked to the Mayor about having a hurricane meeting in April and the rerouting of the intercoastal. She said the final inspection to acquire a bridge rating will be next week. That may qualify the bridge for possible state funding and John Freeland said Barge Masters have said they would concede to an alternative route close to where he proposed. The Oliver lawsuit appeal was denied by the Supreme Court to end litigation.

P. Burke said the Declaration clearly states everyone pays their 1024th share......
Thank you! I own an inside lot and only think it's fair! We all split the cost no matter what it is! We have to be sure we need the canals dredged though.
My opinion - the inside owners should agree to pay THIS time, and THIS TIME ONLY, for the dredging; CONTINGENT upon the Covenants being amended to assess future maintenance expenses of those Limited Common Elements only to the owners to whom those Limited Elements are reserved, ie: waterfront owners!
re: I own an inside lot and only think it's fair
Would you like to explain why you think it's only fair that inside owners pay to dredge the canals for the water lots? You sound like a waterfront SHILL!
Shilling has nothing to do with being fair! If the assessment is for a $1000 per unit and there is money left over the money should be returned to the people or applied to the next assessment.
What happened to the money left over from the last assessment????
