Standing Committees

Budget/Finance

  • Monthly financial statements, including the current status of all assessments due,were requested.
  • The policy for handling delinquent fees and assessments should be the same for the HOA and for maintenance-free neighborhoods, and that policy needs to be improved.
  • There was a discussion on a proposal to use Attorney Leonard Mankin for collection of delinquent assessments. Information on the proposal will be sent to the neighborhood committee Chairs. Comments will be heard at the next meeting, where a decision will be made.
  • There was a discussion on using a collection agency to collect payments of delinquent fines. Detailed information will be distributed to the Board and neighborhood Chairs prior to further discussion and actions.
  • Delinquency warning and lien letters are to be copied to theneighborhood committee Chairs.
  • CAS has proposed a timetable for the 2009 budget process, which will be reviewed.
  • Investments were discussed. It was stated that CEVA and maintenance-free community funds must be invested in insured, interest-bearing vehicles such as CDARs.
  • It has been pointed out that the services provided by CAS are different for condominium owners, owners of single-family residences in maintenance-free communities and owners of single family residences in non-maintenance-free communities. The committee was asked to recommend a fee structure for assessments that reflects these differences.

Compliance Committee

  • CAS provided the Board with a summary of all outstanding compliance items. It was agreed that CAS would make this information available to the Board on request but does not need to provide it on a regularly scheduled basis.

Modifications

  • The Chairs of the CEVA Modifications Committees should meet to discuss the changes requested to the current form and present a unified recommendation to the Board. It was noted that consideration needs to be taken of the use of the same form by all three HOAs.

Restriction Revision

  • The Restriction Revision committee needs to increase the frequency of its meetings to be able to respond to changing needs of the community on a timely basis andcorrect current deficiencies in the Homeowners' Manuals and Covenants.
  • A proposal is needed on how to implement changes and provide residents with changes to restrictions, covenants, etc. as they are updated rather than having to wait for implementation on a once-a-year distribution of information to residents.
  • It was recommended that the Modifications Committees be represented on the Restriction Revision Committee.

Safety Committee

  • A motion was made, seconded and approved to allow the committee to require owners to sign a form stating that their handheld transponder will be deactivated if it is loaned to someone else.
  • The hook and rope was purchased for the boat ramp.

New Business

  • There was a brief discussion of changing the changing thenumber of votes necessary to modify covenants and some restrictions. Currently 66 2/3rds of all owners must approve any such change. Alternatives suggested were 50% plus 1 (a simple majority) and using the requirements for modifying the Florida state constitution,i.e., 60% of all those voting. The issue will be reviewed in more detail at the next board meeting.
  • A motion was made, seconded and approved to allow "generic"Lakewood Ranch 'For Sale' signs. Such signs would omit the name of the individual village as currently required.
  • The management contract with the IDA will be sent to the neighborhood chairs for their information and discussed at the next meeting.
  • CEVA board meetings will now be held on the 3rd Friday of each month at 1:00 pm.
  • Two Country Club North residents have announced their candidacy for the open position on the board, which is expected to be filled during an Executive Session before the next meeting
  • Access to the CEVA attorney was discussed. Unambiguous rules must be developed as to who is authorized to contact the attorney and under what conditions the attorney may be contacted.
