1. 2021 Outlook –Anticipate operating $2200+  favorable for the year

Major action items:

• Eliminated proposed leaf clean up – $3900
• Reduced mulch application for 2021 – Reduce cost $10, 000+
• Replaced all rodent boxes in the Masters – $10,500
• Increased Rodent service to mitigate problems – $2300
• Sponsored increased canopy trees for neighborhood – $2000

2. 2022 Budget – Anticipate same assessment as 2021

   Key issues

•    Board had negotiated Greenscapes 2022 rate (No Change) in 2021
•    Rodent control – no rate increase over 2021

Issues of concern:

• Cost of mulch increasing  – funds provided
• Mailbox repairs – plan of action to be determined-added funds
• Insurance costs up 10%

Minor

Administrative costs down due to the Masters Residents 100% sign up for electronic communications

3. OTHER

• Tree Trimming – Greenscapes has discontinued their tree trimming, but has a firm handling their service . The Board has Cambridge looking at competitive bids. To date all bids received are in same dollar range. For the interim we will continue with Greenscapes’ vendor and evaluate service.
• Mailboxes – Appearance of units continue to be a problem. PS ARC has asked we address issue. Our current problems with powder coated mailboxes are the same encountered by the Masters Board in 2017. Gleneagles has a similar problem – did repairs a year ago that have not lasted. Cambridge was asked to obtain quotes on mailbox repairs. Projected more than 50 boxes. This continues to be a major issue on Board future agenda.

Don Jancin, Board Secretary

The Above Are Not Official Board Minutes

We recently encountered several situations with residents authorizing work without submitting an ARC application to Pelican Sound for approval, prior to work commencing.

One incident involved unapproved material being installed, that happened to be noticed, and stopped. The cost to the homeowner to have this material removed and replaced with approved materials would have been very high.

Given this incident, we remind you that exterior changes to houses in The Masters require an ARC application be submitted to Pelican Sound for approval prior to change commencing. Click Here for a copy of the application form.

We’d also like to bring to your attention the following four points:

1. Permits

• Residents are responsible for obtaining a Village of Estero permit where required, before commencing work on exterior of residences.
• If your contractor states they will do this on your behalf, the responsibility still lies with you to ensure the permit has been obtained.
• Select internal work such as modifying electric service or plumbing also requires a Village permit.

2. Mailbox Base Lights

• Lighting has been noted around the base of mailboxes. The Masters ARC Standards and Procedures states that, “Landscape lighting of any nature is not allowed around the base of mailboxes.”

3. Landscape Design

• PS ARC documents state “Only wood chips or pine straw may be used as mulch unless the area is subject to soil or landscape material erosion.” In those cases, the PS ARC has permitted the use of 1-3 inch size landscaping rock that blends with the building.  
• A recent application was approved by PS ARC for mulch erosion and flooding which caused water and dirt to flow onto the lanai pavers. The lowering of mulch and installing stones was authorized to improve drainage.

4. Hardwood Trees

• Residents are responsible for trimming hardwood trees on their property excluding the canopy trees in front yards.
• Periodic trimming is essential to maintain health, appearance, and growth of trees.
