Treasurers Comments: (Treasurer Tom Harruff)Total Operating Income for March is over budget by $115,538 when considering the prepaid quarterly assessments of $109,730. Newsletter Income ($1,965), Late Fees ($1,331) and Violation Fees ($725) make up much of the rest of the over budget. Year to Date our Operating Income is over budget by $22,968, including Prepaid ($12,048), Newsletter Income ($4,188), Applica-tion Fee income ($2,500), and Violation Fee Income ($1,725). As this is the first month of the quarter our delinquents were processed per the Delinquent Assess-ment Rule with follow up as appropriate. On April 15th we had 9 lot owners owing less than a full quarter’s assessment and 39 owing a full quarter’s assessment except for those delinquent lot owners that are at the attorney for collection action. These numbers can change daily and Towne Properties processed the 48 follow ups on April 15th per our Delinquent Assess-ment Rule. This number of delinquencies is significantly less than Jan 15th when we had about 110.
Total Operating Expenses for the month of March were $2,895 under budget and Year to Date under Budget by $7,863. Monthly under budget expense categories include Maintenance ($988), Grounds Care ($4,039), and Administrative were over budget by ($2,107).

on the property which is a danger to the home owners and also presents a threat to the stability of the driveway built along the route of the underground pipe. The 42 inch drain pipe either has to be lined or replaced. The estimate to line the pipe is double the estimate to replace the pipe. Replacing the pipe will require some disruption to back yard of the Home Owner, which will be repaired. But the end result, which is less expensive, will eliminate the existing problems. Both home owners are being kept informed of our plans. We are working to accomplish this task before the advent of rainy season which will complicate matters greatly or stop them completely from being completed this year.
We have also met with South Florida Water Management District to discuss methods of “controlling” the flow of rain water from the Preserve beside the Middle School from breaking down our berm and causing more damage to our fence between the two properties. By placing a drain pipe between the two properties we will provide a drainage path for the rain water to flow into our canal at a specified location and stop random breakthroughs which is currently breaking down the berm and under-mining our fence line. We are currently seeking estimates to determine the cost of this project. The Board discussed the options for pipe repairs in areas identified as needing rehabilitation and will seek evaluations and repair estimates
Newsletter-Estates: - (Treasurer Harruff): Tom Harruff spoke briefly about the newsletter contents and planned communication to residents and the need to find additional advertisers for the newsletter.
Reminder - It is the responsibility of each Lot Owner to assure that their current contact information is in the Property Manager’s data base. That includes local and alternate mailing addresses, local and alternate telephone numbers, email addresses, home watch services, etc. This is important for notices to the entire community of important information like road closures, Estates newsletter and official notifi-cations from the Association including Association Maintenance Fees.You can do this on line at http://igenaples.info/owner_info.htm
Unfinished Business: Rules and Regulations for the community will be reviewed by Board members to determine the need for the specific rule(s), the consequence of any suspension of amenities usage and to include the review of specific wording of rules. The mailing to owners regarding the Recorded State-ment of Marketable Title Action (Preservation of Docu-ments) for Imperial Golf Estates upon recording with county. Recording has been accomplished.
Violations and Fining Committee – (PM Murphy): No report
Property Manager’s General report: (Submitted by PM Murphy) (Includes Fining Committee Report)Copies of association credit cards (front and back) are needed from Treasurer and Superintendent. Treasurer Harruff has previously provided.First quarter Fine approval decision sought from Board. Fine Committee meeting April 3, 2015 recommendations for fining: Please review attached Log Fine Report. Approved.Seven additional April violation letters sent to owners: four resolved – three open with second letter mailed.Entrada Gate Violations –April > Gate arm broken 4/7 ; piggyback letter sent to owners; letter sent to vehicle with no affixed bar codeMarch 15,-April 13-2015 Sales closings > Four (#4) for Imperial Golf Estates1923 Countess Ct -1966 IGCB-2076 Imperial Circle-2253 IGCB
Perimeter Awareness: (Director Keating) Supervisor Thieme is working with Director Keating to review the area and draft a guideline for reporting conditions.
Traffic Awareness Committee: (Director Keating): Patrick Keating provided an update on discussion with the Sheriff about HOA responsibilities in regards to traffic issues. There is a misperception by members that the Association can enforce traffic laws. It was suggested to have the speed reading device set in place to help educate residents about speeding and then evaluate the need for patrols in the neighborhoods. The Association ability to regulate traffic issues is not in the covenants, and use common sense. The Board will entertain other options as they move forward. Director Keating will draft a letter for publication in the newsletter.
Roads & Walk paths: (Director Harruff for Director Joyce) We have met with two engineering services to advise the cost for a study of our roads and walk paths. The board will need to select which vendor to use and when and if we proceed with the review the conditions and make recommendations on the Rehabilitation of our roads and walk paths.
Storm Waater Mangement and Drainage Report: (Director Castaldini) We have received estimates to resolve the breach we currently have in the 42 inch drain pipe at 2216 of IGC Blvd. The breach has caused a “sink hole”

Treasurers Comments: (Treasurer Tom Harruff)Total Operating Income for March is over budget by $115,538 when considering the prepaid quarterly assessments of $109,730. Newsletter Income ($1,965), Late Fees ($1,331) and Violation Fees ($725) make up much of the rest of the over budget. Year to Date our Operating Income is over budget by $22,968, including Prepaid ($12,048), Newsletter Income ($4,188), Applica-tion Fee income ($2,500), and Violation Fee Income ($1,725). As this is the first month of the quarter our delinquents were processed per the Delinquent Assess-ment Rule with follow up as appropriate. On April 15th we had 9 lot owners owing less than a full quarter’s assessment and 39 owing a full quarter’s assessment except for those delinquent lot owners that are at the attorney for collection action. These numbers can change daily and Towne Properties processed the 48 follow ups on April 15th per our Delinquent Assess-ment Rule. This number of delinquencies is significantly less than Jan 15th when we had about 110.
Total Operating Expenses for the month of March were $2,895 under budget and Year to Date under Budget by $7,863. Monthly under budget expense categories include Maintenance ($988), Grounds Care ($4,039), and Administrative were over budget by ($2,107).
