President’s Message 10 -11
Our 2012 Annual Meeting was held this month. We had a nice, cool day and a good owner
turnout. Owners returning proxies and owners in attendance represented 844 unit/weeks.
Highlights of the meeting were:
• 2011 Accomplishments and 2012 Projects
• Dining room tables have been replaced in the two bedroom units.
• Low flush, high toilets were installed in the public rest rooms.
• The north Estero Island road project was completed.
• Landscaping was improved at the road front and around the drive areas.
• A sidewalk was installed from the parking lot to unit 601.
• The management contract between Windward Passage and Vacation Resorts International
was renewed.
• The beachfront building roof and deck were replaced.
• The villa unit living room windows were replaced with wind resistant glass.
• All unit front door locks were replaced.
• All bedspreads were replaced.
• Management is working with an engineer to research the possibility and cost of adding
lighting at the pool.
• The beach was renourished with approximately 150 feet of beachfront added.
• Windward Passage Resort was awarded the RCI Silver Crown for 2012.
• The pool and spa deck may be resurfaced with pavers in 2012.
• Financial projections indicate that we will continue in good financial condition. We expect
that most operating expenses will be under or in line with budget at year end. As of the end of
September, 97.2% of all Association fees had been collected. This is better than at the same time
last year. Reserve expenses are in line with 2011 projections.
• The Board approved the proposed 2012 budget. Maintenance fees will be $400 per one-
bedroom unit/week, $415 per two-bedroom unit/week and $77.93 per whole ownership week.
The Owners reelected Ray Wolfe and Don Mitchell and elected Bruce Crane to the 2012 Board of
Directors. The Windward Passage Resort Board of Directors is: Chris Cousineau, President, Bob
Toney, Vice President, Don Mitchell, Secretary/Treasurer, Ray Wolfe, Director and Bruce Crane,
Director.
Thank you to Dave Weeter for his four years of volunteer service to the Owners of Windward
Passage and his valuable input on the Board of Directors.
Thank you for your support and love for the Windward. Thank you to all owners who attended
the annual meeting.
Sincerely, Chris Cousineau, President, on behalf of your Board of Directors
