Betty Moore from Rampart Properties reviewed the August 19, 2002, management report. The invoice from the State of Florida Bureau of Standards & Registration contained a Past Due Penalty of $39.20. The invoice was mailed to our former property manager. Since Rampart Properties had not corrected the address, Betty Moore stated they would reimburse us for the penalty.

An E-Mail dated August 17, 2002, from Karen Werner, Unit #907 requesting a professional pest control service on a regular basis. This issue will be addressed under New Business.

The following notes were from the Suggestion Boxes:

Betsy Powers #701 – Requested something be done about the “brown grass bushes” on the right-of-way at our south driveway exit because they obstruct vision of oncoming traffic. The Landscaping Committee was instructed to move the subject plants for safety reasons.

Vince Vincent #309 – Inquired about the status of the proposal for lightning protection. The Lightning Committee has been gathering data for their report which should be ready in a couple of weeks.

Vince Vincent #309 - Stated that the table tops around the pool are in bad shape. The Board had inspected the tables and discussed them with Dan but found nothing wrong with them.

Karen Werner #907 – Stated she was concerned with the timers for the outside lights and pool lights. Betty Moore was instructed to ask Dan to check the timers.

Karen Werner #907 – Stated that she had observed a women climb over the pool fence at 7:30 a.m. and suggested that we plant bushes or a hedge on the east side of the pool to prevent non-owners from using the pool. The Landscaping Committee stated that there are plants on the east side of the pool. The Board requested that an item be placed in the next newsletter requesting all residents to stop and ask any strangers what they are doing on Sunwatch property.

Jeff Garfield #604 – Suggested that if the Board decides to heat only one pool in the winter months, they heat the lap pool instead of the middle pool. That way the lap pool could be used for laps as well as socializing. The Board took no action on this item at this time.

The following applications for sale were approved:
Unit #606 – Clarence Emshoff and Mary Carotenuto
Unit #1003 – Cliff and Deanna Snedeker

Landscaping Committee – Jo Warn reported that plants in the front of the building have been replaced and a new lawn service has been hired. The Board thanked the Landscaping Committee for the much needed improvements.

Emergency Committee - Tim Wukie requested two spare smoke detectors and two spare heat detectors for Dan’s inventory when a replacement is needed. Betty Moore was instructed to obtain the requested space detectors. Tim further requested the installation of pull box for the fire alarm in the 680 lobby. Betty Moore was instructed to have the requested pull box installed. Tim reported that the Clearwater Fire Department does not have fire trucks with ladders tall enough to reach the 9th and 10th floors, therefore he is requesting some type of firebox containing a key to the roof located next to the roof access doors. Betty Moore was instructed to investigate with SAI possibilities for keys to the roof access doors which would be located in a secure system.

Bob Burwell reported that improvements to the 680 entrance had not begun because the Board had required that the funds for the improvements be in our attorney’s trust account before commencement of construction. As of this date checks have not been received from three owners who have indicated that they will contribute.
