CLUBHOUSE MAINTENANCE: (Howard Thurman–Chair)
Howard has replaced the flush valve and a light in the ladies' pool bathroom. The ceiling in that bathroom needs repair work, to the extent that the finish may have to be scraped off and redone. The diaper changing station will be ordered on-line and the 2 breaker boxes at the pool will be fixed as soon as possible.
- Open, Action officer – Howard
The microwave oven in the kitchen will be replaced by Steve's company (Dandee Foods) at no cost. The cabinets in the kitchen will have to be custom built since the area is too small for pre-fab cabinets. Howard contacted Tim Sisler to measure the area for custom fitting a practical, but nice cabinet set. Howard could build up the counter with granite or ceramic tile. This rebuild will be discussed in future meetings, after costs are considered.

The palms, at the common area, have been trimmed. The company will also be trimming branches, cutting a scrawny tree down and removing underbrush at the front entrance area of our community. Trimming should alleviate the lower hanging limbs over the road and also help our new sod with more sun coming through. Lou will also check on the medians and Francis Drake.

New Business
The Board plans to start reviewing the most pertinent covenants and restrictions at our next meeting. We will address these openly with the intention of keeping the community informed. Members of the community are welcome to comment as we get closer into these issues.
There were valuable items stolen from a car parked in a driveway last week on Wild Heron Way at Kingsley. The owner’s auto was unlocked. Please keep your possessions under lock and key. It is so easy for crime to happen if there is opportunity for a quick grab.The meeting was adjourned at 8:20 pm
The next Board meeting will be held on Thursday, August 19th at 7 P.M.
Respectfully submitted:
Sandy Anderson
Secretary
