AGENDA
——————————————
Budget Workshop October 9, 2023
The Masters Board of Directors and Frankly Coastal met on October 9th,2023 to review the proposed budget for 2024. Frankly Coastal proposed several revisions to the format of the budget that would help simplify and clarify the line items. Detailed discussion/review was conducted on the Reserves, Earned Income and the Operating Expenses. Frank Parish of Frankly Coastal noted that he was still waiting on several quotes from our suppliers and would be following up to obtain them. Frank suggested that the Board consider including the impact of inflation on our projected long term reserve estimates and offered to develop several models reflecting a range of inflation from 2 to 4%. Frank also suggested that the Board give some consideration to investing current reserve balances in CD’s that could offer greater interest rates. The Board agreed to think about both concepts. A follow-up Budget Review Meeting will be held on Wednesday, October 18th at 10am. Details on the logistics for the upcoming meeting will be provided prior to the meeting.

The Masters Board of Directors will hold a Budget Workshop Meeting on October 9, 2023, at 3:00 in person at the Sound Room at the River Club, and virtually. Zoom instructions will be mailed to each resident on or before October 1, 2023.
Agenda:
We were all notified by Pelican Sound at the end of August of the Hurricane Ian Loss Assessment of $1,446.04 which may be a covered loss in your homeowners insurance policy.
Additionally, please remember that last January The Masters Home Owners Association billed all Masters residents a separate assessment for Ian totaling an additional $408.20. Thus depending on the terms of your homeowners policy, you MAY be able to file a claim for the combined total of both assessments. As we notified you last January, some policies allow you to submit only one claim, so if that is the case for you, you now have both assessments to complete the filing of your claim. Please consult your policy or agent for the factors that pertain to your situation. To make the claim for the Masters Assessment you may need one or both of the following two documents in addition to the documents that the Club provided for the PS assessment.
JEANNINE OSTROGNAI VILAMAA, 75, of Fort Wayne, Indiana passed peacefully at her residence with family by her side on August 26, 2023.
She was born to the late Lester and Violet Smith, and raised with her brother and three sisters in Ligonier, Indiana.
Jeannie will be forever cherished by her loving husband and best friend Kari; son Ty (Luz Piedad) Ostrognai; stepsons Kris (Michelle) Vilamaa and Nik (Lucy) Vilamaa; grandchildren Dylan Ostrognai, Dawson Vilamaa, Dalaney Vilamaa, Daylor Vilamaa, Dauren Vilamaa, Kalle Vilamaa, Jaclyn Brown, Clayton Beachy, Collin (Kaitlyn) McInnish, Caitlin McInnish; and great grandson Carter McInnish. She is survived by her dear sister Kathy (Don) Holsinger and was preceded in death by parents Lester and Violet Smith, brother Patrick McDonald, sister Charlene Birch and sister Ardith Keister.
Jeannie had a true passion for experiencing the world. She traveled to five continents, visited 40 countries while spending countless hours in over 100 different airports. Reading and lifelong learning were always important to Jeannie. After retirement from a successful career at GTE, she earned a bachelor of science academic honors diploma from Indiana University. Jeannie volunteered for the Northeastern Indiana CASA program where she proudly and zealously advocated for the children under her watch.
She brought a warm smile to the faces of the many people who were very special to her. Many afternoons and evenings were enjoyed watching IU basketball or attending children’s and later grandchildren’s sports and activities. Summers were spent at Syracuse Lake and winters in Estero, Florida having fun times entertaining family and friends. Lots of cards, Aggrevation (the game), and Sequence were played. She thoroughly enjoyed the many special occasions and celebrations. Reading, music, and dancing brought great pleasure to Jeannie throughout her life. Jeannie will be missed by all of her cherished family and special friends.
Visitation will be from 4 to 7 p.m., Tuesday, September 5th, and from 10 to 11 a.m. Wednesday, September 6th at Greenlawn Funeral Home at 6750 Covington Road. Funeral service and celebration of life will be at 11 a.m. on Wednesday, September 6th, immediately following the morning visitation.
In lieu of flowers, the family’s preferred memorials are Northeastern Indiana CASA Albion,Indiana, Easter Seals Arc of Northeast Indiana and Catholic Charities of Fort Wayne, Indiana.
