Seven (7) Board members were present including Sharon Spann, Chad Reid, Ken Spann, Ted Strass, John Groeneveld, Art McKellar and Bob Pruyn. The minutes of the September Board of Directors Meeting were read and approved. John read the financial report and it was approved as read.

President Sharon Spann reminded the board and those present that John Syron of the Pasco county police department would speak bout crime prevention at the November meeting. She also asked everyone present to let Alice know of any changes to their listing in the new directory currently being created by Alice.

The sign out front was tabled until next meeting pending more information and pricing.

The Jacuzzi Spa was discussed and a motion was made by Ken, seconded by Bob to have the spa redone with "diamond bright" and new tile and cool deck applied. The price to be $1500 and $1700 if the skimmer needs to be rebuilt. The board unanimously approved the motion.

Trimming of the Palm trees was discussed and Bob Pruyn said he would look into selling the trees instead of paying to have them removed. He will report at the November meeting his findings.

The cleaning service has requested that she be permitted to leave the chairs on top of the tables to prevent rust stains on the floor. The president asked the board and those present to put the chairs back down when they see them on the tables.

Reupholstering of the 12 light green chairs was discussed for $25 per chair. The board agreed to look into the cost of new chairs and make a decision at the next meeting.

Art volunteered to co-ordinate a group of residents in repainting the bottom of the pool. We had previously gotten a low bid of $3500 to complete the work. Art said the job could be done for less than $1000.00. A motion was made by Ken seconded by Bob to let the residents do the job. All members of the board approved.

A petition was presented to the Board by Joe Delandro requesting that the vote in December again include a proposed change in the Documents to make our park "55+" by HUD standards.  This is the only legal to prevent those under 18 from living in the park.  A motion was made by Chad, seconded by Art to again attempt to have 75% of the voters agree to changes in the Declarations.  A vote was taken and all members of the board agreed with the exception of Ken decided to put it up the proposition on the ballot in December.

The fact that this park does not have majority rule was discussed. 75% of the voters now have to agree to before any changes can be effected. Because of the importance of making the park "55+", it was decided by the Board, not to attempt any additional referendums on this years ballot that may confuse property owners.
