President’s Message 5-10 All Board members were present for our May 20, 2010 Board meeting. Highlights of the meeting follow: • We reviewed the April 30, 2010 financial reports. As of April 30, 2010: • The Association has a year-to-date net profit of $8,935. • The 95.4% collection percentage was slightly less than last year (96%). Klaus continues to contact delinquent owners. If you are one of the small percentage who has not yet paid, please contact Klaus at the resort to avoid collection charges and a negative credit rating. • Projections show the Association with a positive cash flow at year end. • Reserve spending is in line with budgeted projections. • Occupancy was slightly higher through April 2010 (85.0%) than during the same time in 2009 (84.2%). • Management is obtaining bids to replace the main building roof and some decking. • The Board continued discussion regarding upgrades to the beachfront one-bedroom units. Thank you to so many of you who have offered your thoughts and opinions on this subject! • Management is obtaining bids and reviewing references regarding a new type of sleeper sofa. • Safety stickers will be added on the sliding glass doors. •Dining tables have been ordered for five two-bedroom units. • Downspouts on the garden villa building and miscellaneous other exterior areas will be repainted as needed. • Resort staff will paint decorative pictures on the pool restroom walls similar to what we had in the past. • Televisions continue to be mounted on the walls of the beachfront one-bedroom units. There are twelve units yet to be done. • Management is researching two-bedroom window replacement needs. • Landscaping renewal is ongoing. The grounds are looking great. • Management is researching and obtaining bids to repair and renovate the exterior of the rental building. • Gutters and downspouts will be added near units 17 and 18.

| !!!!!!!!!!!!!!Important Message!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill Even though Lee County has joined many Florida Gulf Coast counties into the ordered State of Emergency by Gov. Charlie Crist due to the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, the impending threat to our shoreline and surrounding beaches has not changed. According to the Lee County Visitor & Convention Bureau, the declared executive order could loosen up emergency money, waive highway weight limits if needed, enforce illegal price-gouging and activate the Florida National Guard. The Lee County Emergency Operations Center is still in a monitoring mode (Level 3). A state of local emergency still has not been issued for anywhere in Lee County. Currently, there is no local impact from the BP oil spill. We are open for business. We don't know if our area will be affected. |
