RAT TRAP PROGRAM

The Board approved the purchase of 65 new Boxes (non-budgeted) to replace broken and/or missing boxes. In addition, the Board approved increasing vendor services from a quarterly basis to every other month starting with June and moving forward.

This change, along with the recent short term monthly service in February and March, will require us to exceed our annual service budget. The Board will address the budgeting issue in the fall after considering several possible options.

MULCH PROGRAM

It was noted that due to painting of houses this year we deferred mulching planned for last November until after houses were painted in late April 2021. The question was raised whether it is practical to mulch all houses again this November. In September, the Board will seek Greenscapes’ recommendations.

MAIL BOX PROJECT

We continue to see wearing of units due to local environment in Florida, unprocessed water from sprinklers, and material cover at bottom of mailbox pole. General research has indicated that possibly all mailboxes, irrespective of type, are adversely impacted by the Florida environment.

Currently, the Board is not willing to address other possible actions until we eliminate the sprinkler head problem. We are currently 3-years+ into the 7-year life expectancy of the mail box unit

The Board had Greenscapes run a test on every property to determine if current location of the sprinkler head closest to the box was impacting its finish. They recommended that 60 sprinklers be relocated at around $68 per sprinkler adjustment.

It was noted that previous Boards encountered similar observations and requested homeowners to correct the situation. Some did at that time. Owners with sprinkler heads needing adjustment will be notified to have Greenscapes adjust the sprinkler heads.

HOUSE PAINTING

Our project is rapidly coming to a completion the week of April 19th. There will be extra staff during the week to complete any punch list items received from houses painted earlier in the year. Homeowner cooperation is required to insure their issues are resolved. A letter will be issued by the paint committee to homeowners with final instructions.

HURRICANE SEASON

General reminder that annual hurricane season is approaching. The Board requests that homeowners check our Masters website directory to ensure their personal information is correct as this is the source of information should we need to contact you.

There also will be a tab on website for EMERGENCY CONTACTS (under construction) for community, village and county contacts.

VENDOR REVIEWS

The Board is undergoing vendor performance review for all of our service contractors to ensure proper service delivery.

CANOPY PROJECT

The Canopy program has been closed by the Board and remaining trees to be planted will be held until water restrictions are removed. Greenscapes will determine best time to plant.

CVPC Pipes

It has come to our attention that there may be issues with breaking CVPC water pipes in our homes. Pinehurst has formed a working group to determine if any mitigation is needed. We’ll keep you posted.

RRCDD

Developing ten year capital plan with PSG&RC facilities being 20 years + old. Homeowners should expect tax increases as plans are implemented

Mailbox Review Program: Don Jancin and Dikran Ohannessian conducted a full review of all existing mailboxes within the Community. In addition, they met with Heather Keel and the owner of ASAP Mailbox onsite to review the deterioration and possible solutions to the current state of the mailboxes. The largest factor in the deterioration are the sprinkler heads located adjacent to the mailboxes which are directly spraying the mailbox post. Greenscapes will be asked to inventory the homes in which a sprinkler head is located in the vicinity of the mailbox at each home. An estimate to relocate individual sprinkler heads has been obtained. Additional action will be taken on this matter at a later date once additional information is obtained.

Rodent Bait Stations: The Association has a contract with Armstrong Pest Control to bait the rodent stations quarterly. It has been requested that Armstrong inspect each home’s rodent boxes and provide a report of any missing or broken boxes. In addition, due to increased rodent activity, a discussion was held to increase the rodent baiting to monthly for the months of February, March and April.

A Motion was made by Don Jancin to increase the rodent baiting to monthly for the months of February, March and April 2021. The Motion was seconded by Dikran Ohannessian and passed unanimously.

Management was asked to also have Armstrong Pest Control to report of the areas in the community that have the highest level of consumption so that we have a better understanding of where the most rodent activity is.

Adjournment: There being no further business to discuss, the meeting was adjourned at 10:15 A.M.

Web Site Committee – The Committee Chair advised they are making improvements to streamline processes and access to information.

The committee is planning a survey in near future to determine resident’s feedback on typical usage and further improvements recommended.

Canopy Program – There were five tree replacements requested and approved by the Board.

Rat Program – There has been increased rat activity over recent months within the Masters. It was noted that Pelican Sound has seen significant increase in rat activity with many associations not participating in bait programs.

The Masters Board has a study underway evaluating our current program: type of bait, location of boxes, frequency of service, quality of current boxes, review of vendors etc. in progress. In the interim, the Board has approved monthly service for the next three months versus current quarterly program of baiting boxes. A copy of the Bait Box schedule is available. Click Here.
