SUNWATCH ON ISLAND ESTATES Vice President Joe Giacomini called the “Special Meeting” to order at 10:00 AM. Other Board members present were Tom Adams, Bob Burwell and Vince Vincent. Joe Giacomini was present by speaker telephone. Due to recent surgery he was physically unable to attend. Joe Giacomini appointed Bob Burwell to preside at the meeting. Bob Burwell stated that Tom Adams and Vince Vincent had requested a “Special Meeting” of the Board of Directors as provided under IV. Section 7 of the bylaws to discuss items on the Agenda they requested. MINUTESMinutes of the September 6, 2005 Board Meeting were approved as presented. 1.) Letter dated October 11, 2005 from the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation. Tom Adams wrote the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation protesting the election of Jo Warn as a Board Member at the September 6, 2005 Board Meeting by permitting Terry Werner, as a resigning Board member, to vote his own vacancy before resigning. After receiving the DBPR letter and upon advice of Nathan Hightower, attorney for Sunwatch, Jo Warn stepped aside as a Board Member and President. Letters from Tom Adams and the DBPR are attached as a part of these minutes.
Note: The letters will open as PDF files. 2.) Election of Board Member to fill vacancy. No action was taken since there is an election scheduled November 28, 2005 for all five Board members. 3.) Election of Officers. No action was taken since IV. Section 16 provides that the Vice President shall perform the duties of the President whenever the President shall be unable to act. 4.) Janitorial personnel employment agreement. President Terry Werner authorized the property manager to replace Debbie, who worked 30 hours per week, with Laurie to work 40 hours per week. Laurie’s responsibilities were to include in the 40 hours the cleaning of the Guest Apartments, which had been cleaned by Sharon Givens. Tom Adams and Vince Vincent objected to the change in the cleaning arrangement without Board approval. It was moved and seconded to revert back to the 30 hours per week cleaning schedule. Motion failed with Tom Adams and Vince Vincent voting for the motion while Bob Burwell and Joe Giacomini voted against. 5.) Guest Condo Cleaning No action taken. 6.) Sunwatch bylaw; Chapter 4(Administration) Section 3. Management Agent. Tom Adams and Vince Vincent do not feel the Board and the Management Agent are abiding by this section of the bylaws. No action was taken. 7.) Cell Phone for Dan. Ray Sturgis explained why he felt a cell phone for Dan was much more productive than a beeper and that the additional cost is only approximately $20 more per month. It was moved and seconded to confirm approval of a cell phone for Dan. Motion carried unanimously. 8.) 2006 Budget. Treasurer Bob Burwell reminded the Board that he had provided a draft of the 2006 Budget at the September 6, 2005 Board Meeting. After meeting with the management company with updated projections on October 28, 2005, Burwell provided a revised 2006 Budget with a 3.97% increase. Because no action was taken concerning the 2006 Budget, it will be mailed to the membership and voted on by the new Board elected at the November 28, 2005 Organizational Board Meeting. There being no further agenda items, the meeting was adjourned. Robert A. Burwell, Secretary/Treasurer |
