Manager’s Report:  The fire alarm company is moving slow.  Hot water heaters and air conditioner

apartment, should be reported to your insurance company.  
V.        Reports of Committees:
A.        Landscaping Committee – The problem with the fungus in the grass has been solved by spraying
with fungicide.  The repair and refurbishing of the children’s swing set has been put on hold.  The Beach
project is moving forward.  After the weeds are pulled a weed block will be installed and the sand
delivered and spread.  Members that wish to donate to the project should get their money in as soon as
possible.
B.        Decorating Committee – Decorating Committee has agreed on a carpet sample.  Committee has also
recommended that we use carpet for base.

Assessments lowered on 70 units at Summer Sea.  Linda Cantin advised that a lot of the square footages
on the apartments were not correct.

VI.        Consideration of Communications:  Letter from Landscaping Committee to place the donation letter
for the beach area on the web site.  Board agreed.

period rules, (see attached schedule). Motion was made by Vice President Ward to accept the proposed
schedule as amended.  Seconded by Ed Baird.  All were in favor.

Review of Common Element Areas:  Store room off of the pool was discussed.  Harry Brennen advised the
Board that he thought the Board could not change the use of the room without a vote of the members.  He
submitted a report to the Board.  A motion was made by Ed Baird to restore the room to a workroom for the
membership.  Seconded by Jonelle Kop.  Jonelle Kop offered an amendment to use part of the room for
storage and the rest used for owner access with no owner storage allowed.  Seconded  by Vice president
Ward. All were in favor of the amendment.  Vote on the main motion was 5 yes and 1 no.
    
VIII.        New Business: Hall Carpeting - Two bids were received, NC Tile $38,989.32, Florida Executive
Builders $34,571.23.  Motion by Secretary Geisler to authorize the President and Manager to negotiate a
contract with Florida Executive Builders which includes the carpeted base, cost not to exceed $38,000.  
Seconded by Jonelle Kop.  Motion passes 4 yes 2 no.   Motion by Vice President Jim Ward that if the cost
exceeds $38,000 the president will poll the Board for approval.  Seconded by Treasurer Dan Osborn.  All
were in favor.

Alan Baratta advised the Board that he thought that having the door locked to the pool deck from the
children’s playroom was a safety hazard.  Secretary Geisler said that he didn’t think the room was big
enough to require a second exit.  Manager Bob Miller said it was locked due to insurance reasons but
would check with the Fire Department to see if locking it was ok and report back at the next meeting.
Joe Mulheim said he thought that there was a lack of parental supervision.  Item will be discussed at the
next meeting for possible solutions.
Secretary advised the Board that the wireless alarm system that we had originally considered would now
be ready for shipment in January 2008.

2007 both starting at 9AM.
