LAND AND BUILDINGS COMMITTEE

An important committee doing good work...

With a 2020 budget of over 110,000.00 for maintenance and care of our common property, the over sight of this committee is important. Our coastal climate requires constant care and maintenance. They even go a step beyond the basics, by improving the lands and buildings. The common property includes our many walking paths and parks. This provides member benefits that can not be measured in dollars. This also builds community pride.  Well groomed property and well maintained buildings, cabanas and playgrounds.  These are assets that are owned by the members and valued in the millions.

The members on this committee include:
Ric Minnich, James Clancy, Larry Raymer, Tom Newman, Kirby Smith, John Purdin, and Surfside Field Manager, Gil Gonzalez.

We thank them all, and continue the good work.

There were little or no well groomed or maintained buildings, parks or playgrounds or cabana's when I left in 2016. When did this change?

By now the County should have notified the HOA as to what the cost of the mitigation plan will be for Surfside's indiscretions. We will owe a large sum for a purchase from the land bank, there may be other fees or fines. and we are also on the hook for legal counsel, surely a large sum, the matter first cited by the County about 18 months ago. This is ALL member money, and member business.

We need to know what the final cost is, in total.

As for the maintenance of the Lake areas, they have been brought up to nice condition. The Tree Policy has accelerated destruction of the community, but the HOA properties are well-maintained.
