THE CHARLESTON COURT AT ABACOA HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION, INC.
BOARD OF DIRECTORS MEETING
JANUARY 16, 2002 – 7:00 PM
LOCATION: ISLAND AT ABACOA COMMUNITY CENTER
MINUTES
It was determined a quorum was present. Board members present were Vince
Piscitelli, James Hotchkiss, Paige Davis and John Kerns. Beth Goin was present
representing Bristol Management.
The meeting was called to order at 7:20 pm.
Minutes:
James Hotchkiss made the following corrections to the minutes: 225 Murray
Court was not rented more than one time but did not apply to the association for
approval. The motion by the Board in regards to legal resident standing does not
have anything to do with citizenship. A motion was made, seconded and carried to
accept the minutes with the corrections.
Financials:
The Association is in good financial shape. There will be a surplus at the
end of the year that will fund the reserves and will help to pay for any Phase I
lighting improvement projects.
Manager’s Report:
Beth Goin gave the Manager’s report. The check numbers do not allow checks
to show up in sequence because of the accrual accounting. The pressure-cleaning
proposal was generated after the landscape walk through. Numerous sidewalks in
the community are mildewed due to their exposure and the lack of sunlight. The
Association’s Attorney was contacted because of a discrepancy in the Association
Special Members Meeting Minutes, and the Association’s Organizational Minutes.
The Association’s organizational minutes were approved by the Board of Directors
during the March 2001 meeting and will stand as approved. The Social Fund
account will be dissolved as soon as possible. Divosta will be asked to run the
activity account through their own account. The balances in the bank account are
not ready to be placed with Paine Webber until we establish the reserve accounts
approved in the 2002 Budget. The Association legal council opinion on Board
members does not entitle a person with "a power of attorney" or voting
certificates to run for the Board of Directors. If a person is involved in a
Corporation owning a unit then they would be eligible.
Old Business:
- Multi Rentals:
The Board of Directors will enforce the 12 month lease provision in the
documents. Owners Leasing less than 1 year will be subject to the
Association’s Fines provision. The Board of Directors will institute an
interview process for all potential purchasers and leases. The Board will
conduct the interview for a fee. The interviews will take place at a minimum
of every 14 days.
- Location-Entry:
Signage is scheduled to be installed at Parkside and Barbados, Parkside and
Fredrick Small, and at Parkside and Heights Blvd.
- Divosta-Signage:
The Correspondence from William Shannon indicated that the model would be open
until the end of the year. The Board will need to specifically identify and
propose alternatives to the signage for Divosta’s review.
New Business:
- Light Phase I:
A flood light off the soffit is installed at 214 Murray Court. It gives light
in a very direct area. The lighting still needs to be explored.
- Landscaping:
A landscaping/irrigation walk through is scheduled. The Board wants to insure
that there is irrigation coverage. Replacement materials for flowers, trees
and shrubs were discussed. The Board would like to ensure longevity of the
plant material incorporating the water supply. Uniform landscaping is very
important.
Other:
Rodent problem- Divosta should be contacted about Tuscany and installing a
fence.
Towing:
Cars have been towed in the community. Continued monitoring will help to
alleviate the issue.
Violation Letters:
These will continue to be mailed to owners that are in violation of the
Association’s Documents.
With no further Business before the Board of Directors, the meeting was
adjourned.
Respectfully Submitted,
Beth Goin, LCAM
For and on the behalf of the Board of Directors
