NOVEMBER 12, 2003

1. Call to Order. President Dave Hartman called the meeting to order at 9:02.

2. Proof of Notice. All Board members were notified of the meeting and notices were posted throughout the complex.

3. Determine a Quorum. In addition to President Hartman, Vice President Chuck Mallek, Treasurer Bob Balderson, Art Bubar and Carol Gombos were also present. A quorum was present. Dave introduced Alan & Heidi Castle as new owners of C106.

4. Disposal of BOD Minutes for April 2003. Chuck Mallek made a motion to accept the April minutes as presented. Bob Balderson seconded the motion and all members voted in favor.

5. Disposal of BOD Minutes for July 2003. Carol mentioned that Stan Gombos’ name should be included as being present. Chuck said the correct name for the builder he talked to about the clubhouse was Dwayne Najar. It was also mentioned that the permitting process for the boat dock could take up to six months. A motion was made by Chuck Mallek to accept the minutes with the noted changes. Bob Balderson seconded the motion and all members voted in favor.

6. Satellite Discussion. Tom Miller, who has been instrumental in looking into the possibility of providing satellite TV for Pelican Landing mentioned that Dish Network could save the owners about $33.00 a month in comparison to cable TV. Tom introduced Rich and Ted from the Dish Network. Rich went over the Dish Program saying that it is a private cable company similar to what you have now but the monthly payments would be 40-70% less than what current cable costs are. The program is digital quality versus analog. He mentioned that the association would have control over the channels that are selected. Rich said that each unit owner would have a receiver and a remote control. He mentioned that cable has gone up 7% a year while the Dish System commercial accounts have not gone up more then 2% in thirteen years. There would be no premium channels in the program proposed by Dish. Rich said that right now premium channels would have to be purchased by the Association. He went on to say that Dish is working on providing individual packages for unit owners which would allow owners to select their own choices of premium channels, however this option would not be available for anywhere from six months to six years. The up front cost to unit owners would be $400.00 per receiver and then a five dollar charge per receiver would be to affixed to each unit owner that has more than one receiver. There would be a 1.2-meter dish on each building so each building would be an independent system. Dave mentioned that adding a satellite dish to each building would be a material alteration and would require a 75% approval of the owners. A lengthy discussion followed. Dave thanked Rich and Ted for coming. Dave asked for an unofficial hand vote for those in favor of pursuing the satellite issue and those opposed. The owners were not in favor of pursing the satellite issue. Carol Gombos suggested that the TV Committee pursue work on the contract with Comcast. Dave Hartman made a motion that the Association should not send out a survey on the satellite issue. Chuck Mallek seconded the motion and all members voted in favor except for Art Bubar. The motion carried. Dave thanked Tom Miller for all the work that had been done in investigating the satellite issue.

7. Dock Committee. Stan Gombos mentioned that so far no rotation of boats was needed at the dock. He did say that eventually there may be as many as 24 boats here at Pelican Landing during peak time. Stan said there has been no approval from DEP as yet. They asked for more information and that was sent and hopefully there should be approval in the next couple of weeks. Once approval is received from DEP the repair of new boards and stringers can go forward. Stan mentioned that he had a quote from an outside source for repairs at $4,000.00, which would include materials. If the Association did the repairs themselves the cost would be $768.00 which would include pressure treated wood and Thompson Waterseal. To use plastic would cost $1, 672.00 without work on the stringers. If the stringers were replaced using plastic the cost would be $ 300.00 per stringer. It was mentioned that the condition of the stringers would not be known until the boards are taken off. Dave said the needed replacements on the north end of the dock have been fixed. He mentioned the biggest problem now is the stringers. Carol Gombos mentioned that the two finger piers have to be removed, as they are unsafe. Stan said creosote wood is no longer allowed for the docks. Pressure treated wood is allowed but the recommended material of choice for all dock work is plastic.

8. Water Intrusion Issues. Dave said there are three units right now that he is aware of that have water intrusion problems. The biggest problem is in the lower units in the lanai closet on the stucco walls as the water is getting in the walls and they are eroding. The source of the problem is the seam between the precast concrete and the poured cement beam. The question is how to seal the seam. Dave said if water gets in the floor of upstairs units and goes through the crack it usually will go into the walls and down to the unit below. Dave suggested a committee chaired by Art Bubar and Bill Kissner to investigate the problem and see if the committee can come up with a solution. Fabian mentioned that the committee needs to be aware that the building codes are different now from when the buildings were built. Fabian suggested the committee do a survey of each building to ascertain the extent of the damage. Tom Miller said that there is a four-year-old survey that was the fifth section of the restoration project. Each unit was depicted in the survey. It was mentioned that Marcye Bitler has the survey. The committee will try to get a copy of the survey. Dave told of how he and Fabian had a general contractor come to look at Kissner’s unit. The contractor was talking about thousands of dollars to rehab the unit. One of the problems is if the sliders are removed they can’t be replaced without hurricane shutters. Fabian said that the building codes changed about a year ago March and they are very complicated. Fabian said the state now has the same building codes across the state, which are similar to Miami-Dade Counties codes. Dave said there is water intrusion in at least four buildings. A discussion followed.

9. Old Business. There was no old business.

10. New Business.
Bonnie Hartman mentioned that the Beatification Committee would be looking for volunteers to help with the annual mulching on November 20^th. She also asked for approximately $60.00 to pay for lunch for the volunteers. Dave Hartman made a motion that the Association pays a $60.00 fee for luncheon for the volunteers. Bob Balderson seconded the motion and all members voted in favor. Bonnie mentioned the pines trees that were struck by lighting near Pelican Landing. She mentioned that it could effect Pelican Landing’s property if the trees come down. Fabian will talk with the owner of the property where the four big Australian Pine trees were struck by lighting. Chuck said the dead trees could be a potential fire hazard. Bonnie asked if Fabian could also talk to the owner about the trash that is in the yard.

11. Owners Comments.

· Betty Ryan asked if there has been a decision about the date of the Annual Meeting for 2004. Fabian mentioned the survey showed that November had the most votes. He will talk to Atty. Kevin Edwards about changing the date to see what if anything legally needs to be done. Carol Gombos said the Saturday after state/national elections are held would be a good date.

· Sylvia Prorok asked about whom has submitted their names for the BOD. Fabian said that Art Bubar and Dave Hartman have submitted their names.

· Wes Stead asked if a contract with Comcast would be pursued to see what kind of a deal could be made. Carol Gombos had mentioned earlier that the TV Committee could pursue work on the contract with Comcast.

· Irene Ferguson asked about the locks on the pool gates. Fabian said USA Fence should be back tomorrow to work on the one underneath the building. It was mentioned that the other gate is not working and the posts are not secure.

12. Adjournment. As there was no further business before the Board of Directors Chuck Mallek made a

motion to adjourn. Dave Hartman seconded the motion and all members voted in favor. The meeting

was adjourned at 10:23.
