At our Board meeting on April 20, our CPA came to give our 2016 year-end report. Unfortunately, in 2016, our expenses were more than our income. As the community ages, we need to take into consideration the cost of repairing, replacing and just maintaining things here in our community.

The re-sealing of our roads has been put off until November. One of the reasons is that by the time all the permits are pulled, it will be the hurricane and rainy season. This isn’t the most optimal time to do road work. It’ll also give us some time to build up the reserves.

We’re looking into changing the locks at the clubhouse, since so many neglect to make sure the door is locked after they take their key out. It’s really quite simple, unlock the door, hold it open, and turn the key until you hear it click. Leaving the door open makes us vulnerable to intruders. The front door and the doors leading to the pool, work the same way.

I’d like to thank Tom Janata for his help in many projects here in the community. Tom volunteers his help whenever he hears that something needs to be done.

Thank you, Ed Kelly, President of PBBT HOA

Absent : Lilliam JanataOur CPA from Sullivan Fengler gave the 2016 year- end report. We ended the year with a deficit due to unexpected events that weren’t budgeted for. She made some suggestions as to how to have money on hand should an emergency arise. One of the ways is to establish a line of credit with our bank. There were some questions from homeowners in attendance. She was able to answer all of them.TMG MANAGER’S REPORT:

• Our management company has merged with another company. The only change in our relationship, so far, is a new Property Manager. Her name is Jennifer Olson. We met Jennifer and she seems very knowledgeable about managing a community. The Board is looking forward to having a good relationship with her.

Their phone number remains the same – 954-782-7820 and the e-mail address is: Jennifer@tmg-propertymanagement.com. • There was no new business.

OLD BUSINESS:• Ed Kelly made a motion that we accept and sign the contract with Atlantic Southern

Paving & Sealcoating Company. Barbara Krugman seconded. The motion passed 5 to1. Jackie Ermola cast the “no” vote. Atlantic Southern will hold the price for 6 months. We’ll have the roads done by November.

• Two “No Trespassing” signs have been ordered, one for the front and one for the back. Home inspections were done a couple of weeks ago by TMG. There were several houses

that needed work that weren’t picked up at the inspection, so TMG will come back in again to take another look.

HOMEOWNERS FORUM: • Homeowner said that the Clubhouse door as well as the doors to the pool area is left open

many times. We will look into having the locks changed to locks that automatically lock.• Homeowner questioned the cost of renting the Clubhouse. She thought the cost was too

high. The Board will take it under advisement.Ed Kelly motioned to adjourn the meeting at 7:45. Seconded by Barbara Krugman.Respectfully submitted by Jess Parker, SecretaryThese minutes aren’t official until approved by the Board.

Dear Recyclinda,Q: Can I recycle metal fuel canisters?A: This is an easy answer – yes and no! Any container that has – or has had – a hazardous liquid

or gas inside of it can definitely be dropped-off at any of the SWA’s seven Home Chemical and Recycling Cen-ters. There, old fuels, aerosol spray cans, and lighter fluid and fuel canisters will be recycled or disposed of in an environmentally-responsible fashion.

However, these containers NEVER go in your curbside recycling bin. Even if you are sure there is no longer any hazardous liquid inside, the containers could still be dangerous at the recycling center.

Q: Why are we so cautious?A: Because fires at recycling centers are rare but happen.

The SWA recently experienced a fire at our Recovered Materials Processing Facility on 45th Street in West Palm Beach. Fire officials suspect it was started by a

Recycling Bin Hall of ShameThis bin doesn't look too terrible from afar, but

pay attention and you start to notice that some

things don't belong... For instance, those plastic

foam carry-out containers cannot be recycled in

your Blue or Yellow bin, nor can the paper cups

in the top left corner. The final offender? The

cookie wrapper at the bottom. Plastic film and

wraps are not recyclable in either bin, either.

If you'd like more information on Recycling Right or would like to order bins, just call 866-NEW-BINS or visitSWA.org/RecycleRight»

A fire at the SWA's steel bunk on Jan. 17

fuel canister that someone put in their blue recycling bin. They think that the canister made its way to our recycling center and, during the recycling process, it was punctured and burst into flame. Fortunately, the flame-up occurred in a concrete bunker of sorted metals, so no one was injured and there was minimal damage to the facility.

Help us keep our recycling center employees safe – If you wouldn’t want an item in your kitchen, we don’t want it in the recycling bin!

Every Drop of Water Counts Make conserving water a daily part of your routineFollowing water conservation practices can make an impact on future water supplies. Here are 4 simple steps that home-owners can take to conserve this vital resource:

1. When doing laundry, always wash full loads. Conven-tional washers built before 2011 typically use 40 gallons per load. Resource-efficient washer may use as little as 15 gallons per load. Adjust the water level in the washer to the amount needed for the load.

2. Install an efficient dishwasher. Technological advances in dishwashers make it possible to use less water to achieve the same goal. Dishwashers use less water than hand-washing, particularly if you limit pre-rinsing. If washing dishes by hand, fill the sink with water rather than continually running the tap.

3. Find and fix any leaky faucets. A faucet leaking 60 drops per minute will waste 192 gallons per month. That is equal to 2,304 gallons per year. Turn off the faucet when lathering hands, shaving or brushing teeth.

4. Check toilets to verify they are working properly. Make sure the water level is not too high, the fill valve is working properly and the flapper is not leaking. A running toilet can waste hundreds of gallons of water per day.

Conserving water by using it efficiently and avoiding waste is one way to ensure that we have adequate water supplies for the future. It is up to all of us to use the water we have wisely and it is as simple as making small changes. Make conserving water a daily part of your life and remember when you save water, you save energy and money!
