Highlights of Feb 26th BOD Meeting: The meeting was called to order at 8:30 A.M. by Vice President Scott Toth. Tom Harruff, Len Joyce, Chuck McElligott, Patrick Keating, Tom Nessling and Dan Castaldini were in attendance. Superintendent Mark Thieme was present. Sue Murphy Property manager, Towne Properties was presentHomeowners present - 2104, 2021 Imperial Circle, 2033 Castle Garden.
Review of Minutes: January 29, 2015 meeting minutes of the Board of Directors were distributed to the Directors in advance and were approved as modified.
Danielle Mc Gough, CIC (Brown & Brown Insurance) Reviewed and summa-rized all the equipment for maintenance owned by the Association to confirm correct coverage policy and replacement cost is in place. Superintendent Thieme will investigate an alarm to be place at the door of the gate house that houses the electrical equipment for the gate. The gatehouse is covered for wind damage but not the gate. Board requested a contractor to provide a mitigation report for the replacement of gate house and shed. The roadway and (28) pole lights are covered under the Liability portion of policy. Ms. Mc Gough recommended that the fountains and the pole lights not be serviced by Superintendent Thieme but by a contractor specializing in that kind of work. Workers Compensation coverage expires July 1, 2015 and the policy will be reviewed at that time. Ms. McGough suggested that all policies should expire at the same date so the Board will meet and have these policies terminate on the same date.

Landscape screening plans will be available before the 19 villas are completed by D.H. Horton. The Board will supplement this area/or portions thereof located at the Marquis Park . Director Mc Elligott will evaluate that area that has no irrigation and the possibility of a booster pump. Director Castaldini stated that the temporary fence installed by Horton (Marsilea development) will remove by EGEHOA to reclaim the 3 feet error prior to any landscape installation. Director Mc Elligott will research bids for the fence replacement to include the black metal to be galvanized. Water drainage from the sidewalk goes into a 16 inch pipe that then pushes the water into the wetlands ; offsetting the volume of standing water on IGEHOA property.Owner on Imperial Circle voiced concern regarding water over flow into streets. Director Castaldini stated the there is a pump that was purchased for Phase 5 for drainage emergencies/ there is a 9 inch opening out of the weir that keeps water at the appropriate level. This 9 inch opening is non controlled (open all the time). All the underground concrete pipes are open and working; the over flow water during significant rain events is stored on the streets which is the design. SFWMD permit restric-tions will not permit a larger outlet from the weir.An attending homeowner stated that there is a cracked sidewalk located on Imperial Circle that needs to be evaluation for trip hazard. Superintendent Thieme will investigate.

Landscape screening plans will be available before the 19 villas are completed by D.H. Horton. The Board will supplement this area/or portions thereof located at the Marquis Park . Director Mc Elligott will evaluate that area that has no irrigation and the possibility of a booster pump. Director Castaldini stated that the temporary fence installed by Horton (Marsilea development) will remove by EGEHOA to reclaim the 3 feet error prior to any landscape installation. Director Mc Elligott will research bids for the fence replacement to include the black metal to be galvanized. Water drainage from the sidewalk goes into a 16 inch pipe that then pushes the water into the wetlands ; offsetting the volume of standing water on IGEHOA property.Owner on Imperial Circle voiced concern regarding water over flow into streets. Director Castaldini stated the there is a pump that was purchased for Phase 5 for drainage emergencies/ there is a 9 inch opening out of the weir that keeps water at the appropriate level. This 9 inch opening is non controlled (open all the time). All the underground concrete pipes are open and working; the over flow water during significant rain events is stored on the streets which is the design. SFWMD permit restric-tions will not permit a larger outlet from the weir.An attending homeowner stated that there is a cracked sidewalk located on Imperial Circle that needs to be evaluation for trip hazard. Superintendent Thieme will investigate.

Review of Minutes: January 29, 2015 meeting minutes of the Board of Directors were distributed to the Directors in advance and were approved as modified.
Danielle Mc Gough, CIC (Brown & Brown Insurance) Reviewed and summa-rized all the equipment for maintenance owned by the Association to confirm correct coverage policy and replacement cost is in place. Superintendent Thieme will investigate an alarm to be place at the door of the gate house that houses the electrical equipment for the gate. The gatehouse is covered for wind damage but not the gate. Board requested a contractor to provide a mitigation report for the replacement of gate house and shed. The roadway and (28) pole lights are covered under the Liability portion of policy. Ms. Mc Gough recommended that the fountains and the pole lights not be serviced by Superintendent Thieme but by a contractor specializing in that kind of work. Workers Compensation coverage expires July 1, 2015 and the policy will be reviewed at that time. Ms. McGough suggested that all policies should expire at the same date so the Board will meet and have these policies terminate on the same date.
