OLD BUSINESS
- Balcony Railing Repairs: The committee reported that they have a list of contractors who may be able to repair the railings in place. They are working on having inspections done in order to obtain proposals for the balconies that are in the worst condition. The Board determined to have the bidding project consultants for the sundeck resurfacing job bid on this project as well.
- Floor Mats Near Elevators: The Board found new door mats in the appropriate material and sizes. The remaining mats have been ordered and when received will be installed in the appropriate locations.

Ewell Construction performed several water tests and the Board reviewed their report / proposal for the needed repairs. Mr. Engle made a motion to approve the proposal. Ms. Bagley made a second to the motion. The motion carried with all in favor.
- Spa Fence Insurance Requirement: Several proposals have been obtained from multiple vendors to install a railing fence around the spa, to install a glass fence around the spa, to remove the spa as well as to resurface the spa. The Board is putting this information together for the membership to vote on if they would prefer to remove the spa or keep it with the installation of a fence. The Board is also still searching for an insurance company who will cover the Association without this requirement.
- Sundeck Resurfacing: Three (3) proposals for the sundeck resurfacing project have been received from Ewell Construction, Deckrite Waterproofing and S&W Waterproofing Inc. The Board would like to obtain proposals from construction consultants in order to assist in making a decision on the best scope of work for this project. Proposals for this are pending.

- W Side Palm Tree: The Board reviewed a proposal from Finley’s Landscape to trim the palm tree. SMC is in communication with the neighboring property in order to split the cost. The Board agreed to approve the proposal if Ocean Plaza agrees to split the cost. A response from Ocean Plaza’s property manager is pending.
