landscape maintenance and meet with Ben when she returns.
B.        Kayaks and Boats – Eddie Baird – There are still 5 or 6 boats that are on the lot that need insurance. Permanent
marking on the kayaks is still a problem.  Also will be researching the old data base and update the boat information for
changes and deletions.
C.        Decorating – Charlotte Scurry – Inspected the pool bathrooms with Linda Cantin and worked up a rough cost
estimate to update both the men’s and woman’s bathrooms  It will cost approximately $1500 per bathroom to paint,
resurface the stalls and counter tops, replace fixtures, clean the tile, etc.
D.        Internet – Jim Ward – Asked to have someone with greater knowledge head the committee.  Darold George and
John Marika are going to be asked to research the cost of installation and the feasibility of total building internet, possibly
combining it with television and security.
E.        Security – Eddie Baird – A low cost system would not record night time movement in the parking lot past 25”  A
high end system would cost as much as $9000 and have an 8 day recording memory.  More research is required at this
time.
VI.        Consideration of Communications
A.        Communication from one owner requesting that numbers and kick plates be placed on only one door of their
adjoined condos. George Geisler made a motion to install condo numbers and kick plates on the door of entry to
adjoined condos.  No numbers or kick plates are required on non-entry doors.  Seconded by Eddie Baird, all were in
favor, motion passed.  
VII.        Unfinished Business
A.        Condo #432 – water leaks – George Geisler made a motion to turn over to our attorney, giving the President and
Vice President the authority to move forward with the repairs as required according to the advice of the attorney.  Billing
by the attorney would be separate.  Seconded by Jeff Saenger, all were in favor, motion passed.
B.        Wastewater- Jonelle Kop attended a Wastewater meeting with other representatives of properties who have
package plants.  A legal entity will be formed to bring a campaign to the Village “We want clean water; we just don’t want
to pay for it twice”.  Jim Ward made a motion to enter into dialog with other properties that have package plants to form a
PAC for a cost not to exceed $1000 for attorney fees.  George Geisler seconded the motion, all were in favor. Motion
passed.  Jonelle also stated that she met with Futura possibly combing our package plants and splitting the cost if we
have to replace the total plant.  Our permit for our current plant has been sent in for renewal and should be approve
shortly.
C.        Equipment – Exercise room – At this time the board will accept donated equipment and anyone interested can
organize donations for additional equipment.
D.        Impact fees – Currently impact fees are being collected when we know who the party is that does construction by
the construction sign in sheet in the office.  We currently have prices for disposal of property provided by Onxy and
Jonelle will see if the prices are the same.  Jonelle requested that owners authorize entrance into condos in writing.  Jim
Ward made a motion to add to our Rules and Regulations XII. APARTMENT REPAIRS AND RENOVATIONS, 2.) Written
authorization is required, except in an emergency, (FAX, mail or email) by owners for entry into condo for repairs,
deliveries, or construction work.  Owner should make every reasonable effort, where feasible, to provide a key to
contractors or the office.  George Geisler seconded the motion.  All were in favor, motion passed.   
VIII.        New Business        
A.        Village rental law – The Village has passed a law charging owners a fee for renting their unit.  This law is under
appeal and not enforced at this time.  The law will impact all rental units, but will greatly impact rentals of less than 28
days. Owners may go to the Village web site for more information.  The current Village Rental Law will be posted on the
Summer Sea Web Site.  
B.        Saunas- Currently the saunas are not working.  The Board wants estimates to repair before making a decision on
their use.
C.        Soda prices – Currently we are only making $.05 per soda.  Linda Cantin made a motion to increase the cost of
soda to $1.25, seconded by Cheri DeLucia, all were in favor.  Motion passed.
D.        Roof leaks – There are multiple leaks in the west bank of condos and 504 & 505. Robert Grundei, Manager, is
researching new products to repair the roof.  Jim Ward stated that it is still cost effective to keep these repairs in house,
and that all the past Managers have spent time chasing leaks.  Additionally, Jim requested that the Manager develop
specs for replacing air conditioners and raise them to code. Jeff Saenger stated we have replaced multiple electrical
boxes on the roof and review the Master Plan to see when they will all be replaced.  By raising the AC units and replacing
the electrical boxes this should help with future leaks.
E.        Job description – Jim Ward made a motion to accept the revised job description for the Manager position,
seconded by Eddie Baird, all were in favor, motion passed.
IX.        Next meeting date June 7, 2008 at 9:00 AM.  Motion to adjourn by George Geisler, seconded by Jeff Saenger, all
were in favor.   Meeting adjourned.
