12099 ROCKWELL WAY - Mr. Valyo stated the Association had the house and all concrete surfaces, including the pool deck, cleaned. The pool was drained, acid washed and filled and is being chemically treated on a weekly basis. The Association is also performing the landscape maintenance.

COMCAST CABLE TV - Mr. Rubin informed the Board there was a cable TV/media meeting with the West Boca Community Council. Mr. Rubin included a synopsis of the meeting in the agenda package for the Board to review. Mr. Rubin stated since the current Comcast Cable TV Agreement did not expire until 2012, it may be too soon to consider new TV service providers.

 

CHILDRENS SIGNS - Mr. Valyo informed the Board that Palm Beach County will not install "Children" signs on the public roads in Boca Winds nor will they allow signs to be installed by the Association. The County's new policy follows federal guidelines.

 

The policy is based on the fact that children may have a false sense of security when playing in the public roads with "Slow Down For Children" signs therefore the county engineering department will not allow the sign installation. The Board agreed not to pursue this issue at this time.

 

COMMERCIAL VAN AT 21798 PHILMONT COURT – Mr. Valyo informed the Board the commercial van has re-appeared at this property and is informing the Board he may have to tow the vehicle if the violation continues.

 

FINANCIAL – The Board reviewed the Accounts Balance Report as of May 29, 2009. Mr. Valyo informed the Board the Association is in OK financial condition but cash-flow is not too good at the end of each quarter. The Board then reviewed the Delinquency Report as of May 28, 2009. Mr. Rubin asked Mr. Valyo if the Association had to "write-off" $1,538 on a property foreclosed on 22504 Middletown Drive. Mr. Valyo told Mr. Rubin the association collected $2,5490 and had to write-off $1,538 because this amount written-off was for delinquent assessments prior to one year from when the mortgage company took title to the property through foreclosure. State Statutes only require the foreclosing mortgage company to pay delinquent assessments back one year prior to their foreclosure. Mr. Valyo will confirm this information and contact the Board through email. The Board then reviewed the April 2009 Balance Sheet and Income and Expense Report. Mr. Valyo informed the Board the Association is under budget through April 2009.

 

OLD BUSINESS – None

 

 

NEW BUSINESS – Mr. Pontrelli told the Board there was a request by a Boca Winds homeowner to waive the $175 rental fee for Town Hall for a welcome home gathering for a son returning from military service from Iraq. The Board turned down the request. Mr. Pontrelli told the Board the local Sons of Italy Lodge decided to pay the $175 rental fee for the welcome home gathering at Town Hall. The Owner of the property was very grateful.

 

Mr. Valyo informed the Board that the Hampton Park Neighborhood Committee discussed the poor condition of the swimming pool at the Dorothy Jack property at 22201 Collington Drive. Mr. Valyo asked the Board for permission to clean the pool and then maintain the pool chemistry. The house has been abandoned by the Owner. The Owner is behind with her association assessments but is not in mortgage foreclosure. Mr. Marcus made a motion to clean the pool at the Jack property and maintain the pool chemistry. Mr. Potenzini seconded the motion. The motion was unanimously approved. All expenses will be charged to the Jack assessment account.

 

The Board Meeting was adjourned at 7:55pm.
