The Association has no major problems throughout the community. An owner has complained about people walking their dogs on common areas and not picking up after them.

APPROVAL OF MINUTES FROM BOARD MEETING January 12, 2010. Motion to accept the minutes by Anthony, second by Mitch, all approve.

REPORTS Finance Report: Mitch Atkins Mitch advised the members the Association is in good financial condition and within budget at this time. Funds have been disbursed for the permits and appropriate forms have been filed with the City for the front wall project. Susan mentioned the new Bank account with TD Bank has been established and a major amount of operating funds has been transferred. The remaining operating capital will be transferred after the March 31st City National Bank statement is received. Mitch discussed the possibility of gaining more interest with the reserve funds by looking for a CD or Money Market rate better than the savings amount now being received. Mitch will check local rates. It was decided that since the FDIC insurance covers up to $250,000, it would be best to put the reserve funds in a bank other than TD as we would be over the FDIC insured limit with both a checking account and CD.

Delinquency & Owner Assessment: Susan Dobson. Delinquent accounts continue to be collected this year. As of March 10, 2011 there are approximately $20,000 in legal for collections, normal delinquencies approximately $3000.00. The economy continues to be the basis for delinquencies. Legal counsel & the HOA have continued to stay on top of collections. The HOA has been advised that the lot 178 house has been sold and will close by the end of April. The HOA will receive over $10,000 from this property. This includes maintenance fees back to January 2008 and over $2,000.00 in interest. K & B legal council will remit the proceeds to the HOA by the end of March.

Manager's Report: Larry Morina The Association has experienced no major problems throughout the community since the last meeting. Regular communications with Susan on delinquent owners prove that the deactivation of bar codes for certain owners prove to help with collections. Communications with Ron Gross regarding compliance keeps the Association on top of non-compliant owners who get notified by mail. ARB requests have been handled in a timely manner keeping with requirements within the process.

ARB/Maintenance Committee: Ron Gross Ron's further review of information regarding swale tree or private property trees with the City of Parkland has brought new information that will now be required during the Ternbridge Compliance Committee review. The City is now requesting that ALL trees whether on private property or the swale trees now require City permits prior to any add/moves or changes. The Association will now be requiring permits and/or approval from the City prior to final approval by the Association when owners request permission on tree planting or removal. Owners have been keeping up on the Association violation letters on covenant issues. The ARB has been observing the requirements of the process prior to commencement. No other major issues at this time.

OLD BUSINESS Front entrance refurbishing: Susan updated the members on the forward movements regarding landscape planning which will also include the back gate landscape. There are more discussions on landscape and lighting that will continue over time. The project continues to move forward with recent required forms and applications signed and submitted to the City. The Association is awaiting word from the City on the timetable for the permit and review process.

Berm area clean-up has recently been completed by Twin Tree. Additional clean-up will be needed over time.

Tennis Court Drainage: The continued excess water issue at the tennis court continues. The common area irrigation was shut off along the court area. The ground has dried up somewhat & another bid is being sought to compare with Shenandoah Construction's proposal.

NEW BUSINESS Cul-De-Sac repairs: have been scheduled with Tensar Corporation. A memo was presented to the Board and approved. The information will be mailed to the forty plus homes affected by these repairs and it will also posted on the web site for others who may want to know.

Required height on Swale trees: The Association normal tree height was determined to be 10 ft. along the street. Upon further research with Brian Archer of the City of Parkland, the Association was advised that the City follows the 14ft. standard used by FDOT (Florida Department of Transportation). The standard is used for mature trees only. Discussions on possibly having the Association consider a one time only trimming of the swale trees to bring all the trees (where possible) up to the 14ft height may be considered. The other thought was to have this as part of the normal seasonal tree trimming. There were yea and nay comments. Mitch asked that 3 swale tree cutting bids be solicited to see what the financial burden would be within the existing operating funds because this maintenance issue was not budgeted for late last year. The information will be reviewed and a decision will be made thereafter.

Owner complaint about gutter not allowing water to move towards drain: Cecil observed the drain area in question. Cecil advised he used a level on the area but with so much debris in the gutter, no further determination could be made. Cecil did advise that it appeared the slope of the gutter was correct. Larry has seen standing water in the drain at one point. Further observation of the area over the next 30 days is needed.

HOMEOWNERS OPEN FORUM Mailbox vandalism: The Board listened to owners who had observed certain items of importance and further discussions began on owner's knowledge of what they believe happened. It was determined there were many mailboxes damaged by "someone". The Association will look into costs of an occasional night patrol from the security company that controls our full time guards, Command Security. The intention would be to place patrols at the most likely times to possibly catch vandalism before it happens. Proposal and the funds available will be reviewed.

Swale Tree Root damage to owner drainage system: An owner's recent request to have the Association take responsibility for the tree root damage to his home drainage pipes was discussed. A similar situation happened this past year at Ternbridge and the owner handled this with Coconut Creek Water Department. The swale trees were required by the City of Parkland per the original approved plat. It was determined that the Association is not responsible for swale trees. Each owner is responsible for their own swale trees. The homeowner was asked to check with the City of Parkland regarding this issue.

Back gate owner problem with outside vehicle: An owner recently stopped a vehicle from entering the community as he exited through the back gate of the community. Because this vehicle was not allowed to drive in the exit gate, the owner who stopped this from happening was followed as he drove out of the community and headed south on Parkside Drive. This vehicle was taunting him. The Association advised the owner he should have called 911 or possibly pulled into the fire station located at Holmberg Road and Parkside drive for help. The Association will check the back cameras to see if a plate was spotted on the specific date and time given. If so, the Association will get the plate number to the owner so they can file a complaint with the Broward Sheriff Office.

Kevin expected to have Paul Gates from Natural Paving & Brian Warren from Tensar Headquarters to accompany him at the meeting although Paul was sick and Brian was stuck at Atlanta Airport with snow related delays. Kevin answered questions from the Board that related to the dissatisfaction of the unevenness and discoloration of many of the cul-de-sacs that were recently paved.

The Board was guaranteed that Tensar Corporation will do all possible to come to a reasonable solution for the TB HOA. Kevin will meet with a member of the Board with the outcome.

Chief O'Connell took a moment to review the crime statistics for the HOA members. Crime has come down over time, especially car crime which was attributed to more people locking their cars. Chief O'Connell introduced the Association to CyberVisor, a crime advising web site that enables interested parties to be aware of criminal activity, traffic and security concerns around the residential and business community. The TB HOA web site will have the information for registering your e-mail to receive these important messages, or owners can contact your local Parkland BSO. The Chief also reminded that the Coyotes throughout the counties around Florida continue to be a problem. The population has become overwhelming and can only ask homeowners to be aware that these varmints are a danger to household pets & some local farms have experienced problems. He warns that trash should be kept in closed containers & not left out in plastic bags so not to attract these troublesome varmints.

The TB owners whose property abuts the sidewalk area will be contacted by the City to complete a cut back of their landscape too.

Mitch seconded the motion and asked that if a reasonable quote be received, that the work get completed thereafter.

NEW BUSINESS Sidewalk Surface Cutting bid was received. There are a few major sidewalks that cause a hazard to owners and the bid was reviewed from Sidewalk Solutions. Mitch agreed that it's imperative to have this project move forward for safety reasons and made a motion to accept the bid from Sidewalk Solutions since the funds are available for this work. Susan seconded the motion, motion carried.

De-activation of bar code stickers
Posted 3/23/2010

Dear Ternbridge Resident:

It is the legal duty and responsibility of the Association to enforce payment of assessments. The Association has been aggressively pursuing the collection of delinquent assessments against all association property, and will continue to do so.

It is felt that the new procedure mentioned below is necessary in order to protect the homeowners that pay their assessments on time and to avoid any shortfalls to the HOA budget.

In accordance with the Ternbridge Homeowner's Association governing documents, the Board will implement the following procedures effective April 15, 2010:

Property Currently in the Process of Collection with the HOA's Legal Firm:

" Any property that is currently in arrears in the payment of any assessments, and is in the process of collection with our legal firm, will have the bar code stickers assigned to the property de-activated immediately until full payment of the delinquent balance, including attorney fees, interest, and costs of collection, are paid in full and the attorney notifies the Association that funds have cleared the bank. The process to re-activate the bar code stickers may take up to 10 to 15 business days.

Future Collection of Past Due Assessments:

" Going forward, any property that must be referred to our legal firm by The Board of Directors in the pursuit of the collection of past due assessments will have the bar code stickers assigned to the property de-activated until full payment of the delinquent balance, including attorney fees, interest, and costs of collection, are paid in full and the attorney notifies the Association that funds have cleared the bank. The process to re-activate the bar code stickers may take up to 10 to 15 business days.

Entry into Ternbridge

" If a bar code sticker is de-activated the only method of entrance to Ternbridge will be through the Hillsboro gate. You will not be able to use the resident entry lane and you will be required to use the guest lane and must show proper identification for each entry into the community. This also applies to anyone renting a home from an owner who is in arrears.

The Board of Directors

III. APPROVAL OF MINUTES FROM BOARD MEETING AUGUST 17th, 2010 Motion to accept the minutes by Susan Dobson, second by Mitch Atkins, all approve.

IV. REPORTS Finance Report- By Mitch Atkins Mitch will address the financial report during his review of the 2011 draft budget proposal.

Delinquency & Owner Assessment receivables were reviewed by Susan Dobson. There have been significant gains regarding collections this year. Many owners have paid their delinquent accounts and as of Sept 30, 2010 there are $18,325.00 owed in back assessments and one foreclosure now owing $6,050.00 The economy continues to cause collection problems & delinquencies although with the help of legal counsel the HOA continues to stay on top of collections.

Manager's Report- Larry Morina The Association has experienced very few problems through out the community this past quarter. Larry has been working with legal counsel along with Susan Dobson on collection issues. The guard house has had some attention with the help of Susan with new blinds, ceiling fan and recently a new office chair. Larry continues to keep in contact with Susan on issues when they arise, and also Ron Gross regarding compliance issues and ARB requests.

ARB/Maintenance Committee- By Ron Gross All is quiet and going well with the ARB. The paint palette at the front gate is working excellent. Main issues with Compliance Notices are the trimming of homeowner trees on the swales, and pressure washing issues regarding roofs and sidewalks. There are occasional problems with landscape vendors not removing their debris from the property. Ron keeps Larry updated between the quarterly ARB and compliance issues.

V. OLD BUSINESS Cul-De-Sac paving complaints: A letter was drafted by the Association and mailed to Natural Paving regarding the inconsistency of the surfaces on many of the cul-de-sacs throughout the community. Natural Paving responded with an E-mail to Larry at Haag Management letting him know they would visit to the community by Natural Paving. No final word on what can and/or will be done to resolve the problem although the Association is anticipating some type of resolve to the color differences and the uneven surfaces experienced on many surfaces at the cul-de-sac.

Lot 178, the foreclosed home at 7142 67th Way: There was a discussion on what can be done to make the banks move faster on this final foreclosure. Larry was asked to contact Kaye & Bender to see if any of the new laws afforded to HOA's can bring the banks to move faster. Also discussed was the possibility of having Diversified Landscape to provide a property clean-up to help the appearance for the neighboring homes and the community as a whole.

VI. NEW BUSINESS Approval of 2011 Proposed Budget: Mitch reviewed the proposed 2011 budget line by line. Most all categories have been within budget all year and the Association is in good financial condition going into the end of the 2010 calendar year. After continued review of the draft 2011 budget line items, Mitch completed his discussion and made a motion to keep the quarterly assessments at $550.00 per quarter for 2011 and accept the budget as presented. The motion was seconded by Susan and Stuart, motion carried, all approved.

The revitalization of the front entrance for 2011 is in consideration and existing general reserve funds from 2010 will be utilized. Susan presented 2 quotations for this major project and further discussions on acceptance of the most comprehensive bid with a proven track record of satisfaction on work completed from the different vendors. Landscape and Lighting will be factored into the costs. The Association is able to allocate $58,000.00 for this project which will include the cost of new landscaping and new bridge lighting to enhance the entryway appearance.

Pressure cleaning quotes of front and rear entrances, including guard house roofs and curbing, along with most all the cul-de-sac curbing in the community will be attained for review and approval.

Repairs to Tennis Court Surrounding Area - Susan will again look at a recent contractor who bid the water issues at the courts. Larry was asked to get an additional bid from a contractor.

ARB/Compliance - Ron Gross, Carlos Andrade, Tom Kolack Owners: Allen Sparrow Larry Morina, Property Manager's of Haag Management was also present.

III. APPROVAL OF MINUTES FROM ANNUAL MEETING June 17, 2010. Motion to accept the minutes by Susan Dobson, seconded by Tony Mangione all approve.

IV. REPORTS Finance Report- Mitch Atkins financial review stated the Association is presently on budget for 2010 and is in good financial standing with excellent reserves which will allow for additional property enhancements over time. The uncollected quarterly assessments have gotten quite large this quarter although there are Units in collection that have the larger share of the amount owed to the Association. Susan & Larry mentioned they were continuing to monitor this important topic with owners and legal councel.

Manager's Report- by Larry Morina " I am working with Susan Dobson and legal council on homes in collections. Presently the total amount owed from legal lien & foreclosure collections is approximately $41,400. & an additional $10,856 in owners delinquent for the month. Owners are continuously having their bar code being deactivated when sent to collections. " I have received many complaints from TB homeowners about the ascetic condition of Lot 178, the bank owned property. I have asked the residents to call the City of Parkland to complain which will help the Association in their fight to get compliance to maintain this property. Ternbridge HOA has done everything possible to make Country Wide Home Loans aware of the violations. Mitch asked Larry to work with Ron of the ARB to begin sending Countrywide Home Loans letters as we would for any property at TB which will eventually constitute fines accordingly.

ARB/Maintenance Committee- By Ron Gross " Owner dispute again due to an owner's dog loose on a resident's property. " Awaiting Parkland's issuance of 2 building permits for approval for an owners fence & one for owners hurricane shutter request. " Possible problem with an owner conducting a lawn business out of his house which includes vehicles entering the Association prior to 8AM. There will be more investigation regarding this person and what is actually happening. The Board will be advised accordingly.

V OLD BUSINESS " Guard House Camera Installations: Susan updated the Board that the camera's for the front & rear gates have been completed. Alpha One Video has done an excellent installation job. The system is operating correctly and the guards now have access to seeing problems and issues at the back gate. Alpha One has provided an extra monitor at the front gate for easier viewing knowing there are multiple cameras at each gate. The cameras already have proved to be an advantage regarding back gate issues. " Street Paving Problems: Mitch opened discussions regarding the recent cul-de-sac paving. Many complaints were expressed at the Annual Meeting. There were additional complaints regarding the surfaces of the cul-de-sac at this Board meeting. The main problem is the "appearance" of the finished product. Susan suggested writing a letter to Natural Paving Headquarters to express the Associations dissatisfaction. Mitch agreed to review this situation with Cecil & draft a letter for mailing. The intent is to have the vendor make certain cul-de-sacs in question as good as the few that the Association is pleased with. The Board asked that Cecil Lander be notified to hold off on the last phase of the project which is the surface striping until after response from Natural Paving.

VI NEW BUSINESS " Capital Improvements: Mitch addressed the members regarding spending some of the reserve money toward refurbishing the front entrance of the community with a new updated look. All members were in favor and Susan volunteered to pull past quotes regarding this topic, obtain updated quotes and bring the results to the next Board meeting for review. The project would include outside the guard house, the bridge surfaces and possibly some landscape updates. " Tree Replacements: Stuart suggested planting a tree in the back of the property on the left side of the roadway in the open grassy area as you begin to enter the back gate. There was a tree in this area in the past and Stuart felt another tree would fill this void for the general landscape of that area. The Board reviewed a few tree suggestions and a quote for the cost for the two trees mentioned from Diversified Landscape. The Board then asked that Stuart provide a quote from another landscape company he has had success with. The type of tree was left undecided, although the Board agreed the cost of the tree in the $250.00 to $300.00 range was acceptable.

VII HOMEOWNERS OPEN FORUM " Sue Dobson mentioned that the Association continues to collect bar code fees for new stickers. The new rules regarding deactivating the bar codes for owners in collection has indeed continued to help the Association with these delinquent owners bringing their accounts current. " Ron Gross brought up the topic of allowing open houses for discussion. The Board mentioned the Association has no right to stop owners from having them due to the fact there was no covenant in the document restricting them. The counter argument by Ron was asking that they should not be allowed due to the security of the community and the nuisance that it causes. The final determination from the Board after continued discussion was that for many years there has never been problems with open houses and that if indeed a nuisance and trouble is experienced again, then the Board will consider promulgating a rule to owners restricting open house at TB HOA. " Larry Morina reviewed some recent quotes regarding the cleaning of the drains which was requested at a previous meeting. The Board was in agreement that the drains do not need cleaning at this time. Larry was asked to keep the quotes if needed in the future. " The next Board meeting will be scheduled for October 2010.

IV.            REPORTS  

Finance Report- Mitch Atkins not present.

      ARB/Maintenance Committee- By Ron Gross

      All is quiet and going well with the ARB.  There is a lot of good cooperation with the homeowners.     

      Manager’s Report- by Merie Mangan

            There are 11 homes in for collections.  One of which is Mark Meltzer’s- ($2,750) which should be paid
             
in full.  The total amount of money owed by these homes is $29,185.00.

             The bar code entry system is complete. Sue Dobson has been very accommodating to many. 
            
homeowners who have asked for bar codes after the scheduled dates.  The only complaints I have                          received if that people think they have to get too close to the Parkside gate before it opens.

              I never received a call back from Leigh Katzman in regards to the email I send when I received a bill for the              $150.00 annual retainer fee.  Per the original contract we should not be charged this.  I did receive a                              second invoice on it this we ek .  It has not been paid. All new legal issues and demands letter for liens are going                 to Kaye and Bender.  Nothing new is going to Katzman Garfinkel.           

V.              OLD BUSINESS        

      New Entry Update- Permitting – Update by Sue Dobson 
    
The bar code project is now complete. 
After a ruling from Kaye & Bender that our docs allow us to
     
proceed, and an article in the March 2010 issue of 'the Parklander' magazine from a community 
     association lawyer (Russell M. Robbins, Esq. of Mirza, Basulto & Robbins, LLP),  and a strong urging 
     from Cecil Lander, Ron Gross, and Daniel Cartailler requesting that we proceed, a motion was made
by                 Sue Dobson to get with our attorney about proceeding with turning off the bar codes for those who are in                  arrears with their maintenance fee.  Motion second by Stu Goldberg.  All agree. This letter to be sent to                    Cecil Lander for posting on the web site.  

             Resealing/ Paving of Community Streets- Reported by Cecil Lander. 
             Cecil gave an update as to not needing a permit for the City for the repair on the streets, but needing one                           for the gutters. He is ready to go with this project. He would like to use the E-Krete product for the cul-                        de-sacs.  He will be working with Cobra or NTS. The paving should be about $51k, and the gutters                         should be about $12K plus 5% for permits.  Motion made by Sue Dobson for Cecil to proceed with this 
                         project as the Project Manager.  Second by Tony Mangione.  All agree.  

           Ternbridge Foreclosed Home- Lot #178- 7142 NW 67 Way

           The Writ was just issued on March 8th.  Locks were changed.  A homeowner is interested in buying it from the                bank.  He is not able to get any information on that from the law firm handling the foreclosure. The house needs             some work.  The Association is filing a formal complaint to the DBPR in regards to the  renter who did not pay,                as she is a licensed realtor and her behavior was not one of good conduct.                      

           Tree Trimming-

           The proposals for the tree trimming were reviewed.  We will use Twin Tree Service at the cost of  
          
$5,300.00 for 211 trees.  Motioned by Stu Goldberg, second by Tony Mangione.  All approve.  

VI.            NEW BUSINESS  

Mulch- Proposals were reviewed.  The board will decide by email as to which company after finding out how many inches were proposed by Amerigrow who had a good price.  Merie will also request them to send pictures of red and black mulch so the board can decide on what color to put down.     

VII.          HOMEOWNERS OPEN FORUM

Sue Dobson mentioned that the Insurance Company for the man who did donuts on the lawn by the tennis courts and hit the tree has offered to pay $500.00.  There being no permanent damage to the grass or the tree, this was accepted.  Cecil Lander asked what should be done regarding homeowner’s working in Ternbridge from their home. He was advised to call the City Code Enforcement Division.

Ternbridge Gutter & Road Repairs
Posted 3/16/2010

 

The time has come to begin a process of repairing our storm gutters and road surfaces. The board has approved the expenditure, from road maintenance reserve funds, to begin this work.

STORM GUTTERS.
There are several areas in Ternbridge where tree roots have significantly damaged the valley gutters which carry rainwater to the catch basins. In other areas the roots have cracked and broken the gutters adjacent to the storm drain grates. Approximately 240 feet of these gutters will be replaced.

We will perform an elevation survey of the gutters and will attempt to install new gutters with the proper slope to drain as much water as possible. Please be advised that due to the elevation of existing driveways and existing road surfaces our ability to move all of the water from the gutters will be limited by these pre-existing conditions.

ROAD FLOODING
These repairs will not alleviate periodic road flooding during very heavy rains. Flooding occurs when leaves and other debris block the surface of the drainage grates, causing water to back up and flood roads and sidewalks. The only way to prevent flooding is to make sure that the grates are kept clean by raking fallen leaves.

ROAD RESURFACING
Seven of the cul-de-sacs along 68th Drive and 72nd Place have suffered serious damage over the years and will be re-surfaced with a polymer based concrete mixture designed to remain cool during the summer heat and give a long life to the repaired pavement. All of this work will be done in accordance with meetings we have had with City of Parkland officials.

SCHEDULE
We are in the process of applying for permits for the gutter replacement and as soon as we obtain the permits we will start the work. It is estimated that the gutter work will take approximately one week to complete during which time some inconvenience will be felt by our residents. There are three or four driveways that will be blocked by this work and rest assured that we will give adequate notice to these residents before the work starts.

With respect to the paving, this must start after the gutter repair has been finished and the work will take approximately one week. This includes the resurfacing, installing new stop bars and new Reflective Pavement Markers (RPMs) which locate fire hydrants.

We will give everyone advance notice of when this work will start as soon as we get the permits from the City

  7. REPORTS
  8. Finance Report- By Mitch Atkins

    We have quite a few people who have paid ahead. We are over budget this year due to the gate entry project. We budgeted 2009 with not having a guard at the back entrance, but have made up for this money in other areas. We are earning a low amount of interest in the money market account, but that is due to the market.

    ARB/Maintenance Committee- By Ron Gross

    All is quiet and going well with the ARB. Paint Palette is working. Main issues with Compliance Notices are the trimming of homeowner trees on the swales. Additional time has been allowed to homeowners who need to clean their roof until after hurricane season. There is a problem with some landscape vendors not removing their debris from the property.

    Manager’s Report- By Merie Mangan

    There are 9 homeowners in with the Attorney at this time for collections. They owe a total of $23K. The legal bill to date for the foreclosed home is over $3K and please take this into account when deciding whether to foreclose on non tenant occupied homes in the future. New tennis nets have been purchased.

  9. OLD BUSINESS
  10. New Entry Update- Permitting – Sue Dobson gave update as to what should be the last meeting that has taken place with the City of Parkland. We are now just waiting on City approval and should have the permit in 2 weeks. The project will start then and should be completed by the end of November.

    New Attorney- Stuart Goldberg has looked into different recommended law firms. He is interested in a firm called Kaye and Bender. Stuart just received their proposal packet today and will review further and email his recommendations to the board.

    Resealing/ Paving of Community Streets- Cecil Lander has reviewed the street and curb areas throughout the Community with Sue Dobson. He has recommended there be no resealing. There are areas in the cul de sacs that need to be addressed at this time, as the gutters are cracked and broken. The main street areas can wait. The Estate Section is in good condition. Cecil will draw a Scope of Work so Merie can have companies bid on doing needed repairs to 7 cul de sac areas. This will be presented to the board at the next meeting. The Board thanked Cecil for all his hard work to date.

  11. NEW BUSINESS 
  12. Sidewalk Repairs- A proposal from Cougar Construction was reviewed. There are 6 areas of sidewalks that need to be repaired at this time. We will accept their proposal for the price of $2,420.00 with the proposal being rewritten with a few adjustments. Motion to accept by Mitch Atkins, second by Janine Grimaldi, all approve.

    Compliance Letters- Stuart Goldberg asked that people be given more time for roof cleaning because it is still hurricane season. This was agreed to by the Compliance Committee.

    Web Page and Community Business Cards- Stuart Goldberg asked if homeowners could advertise their business at no charge on the Community Web Site. All Board Members approve provided they are in good standing, properly licensed, and are not working out of their homes

    Repairs to Tennis Court Surrounding Area- Tabled at this time. 

    Pressure Cleaning of Gutters- Tabled until gutter repairs are completed.

    Approval of 2010 Proposed Budget- Mitch Atkins went over the proposed 2010 budget line by line.

    The following items were discussed-

    New estimates for the paving reserves and that new calculations will require increasing the amounts

    paid to the reserves.

    Estimated remaining life (Front section):  3 years

    Estimated remaining life (Estate section):  11 years

Please make sure to bring the following:  

If your vehicle is leased provide a copy of the registration and lease agreement indicating your Ternbridge address.

If you are an owner and currently lease your home to a tenant you must notify them of the new change in access.  As the property owner you must contact Merie at Haag Mgt. merie@haagcompanies.com for instructions on how your tenant can obtain their bar code stickers.  You must also provide a copy of the current lease to Merie.  Once a lease has been provided the vehicles must either be registered to the Ternbridge address or match the name on the lease that has been submitted to Haag Mgt.    

The bar code sticker will be affixed at the time of registration to insure it is installed correctly and on the right vehicle.  Please come to the Tennis court at the designated times.  We need your cooperation for this process to go smoothly  

PLEASE NOTE:  PLEASE UNDERSTAND THAT FOR THE SECURITY AND SAFETY OF ALL RESIDENTS EVERY CAR THAT IS TO RECEIVE A BAR CODE STICKER MUST BE PRESENT FOR THE BAR CODE TO BE INSTALLED!  NO BAR CODE STICKERS WILL BE DISTRIBUTED WITHOUT A VEHICLE.  

There will be a grace period where both the clickers and the bar codes will work.  Beginning on February 1, 2010 , only bar code stickers will activate the residents' gates.

Sincerely,

the Board of Directors

Members. This information is on a different Security Guard Company. To be discussed further with New Board.

HOMEOWNERS OPEN FORUM

Homeowners commented on how nice the new palms at the Hillsboro entrance look.

Speed bumps/ humps were brought up, and they are not permitted.  The corrected sidewalk breaks are functional for now, but we will budget for better repairs. Also reported that they are slippery when wet.  Janine asked if anyone knew if the land by the power line and tennis courts belonged to Ternbridge. We do have a survey but it is hard to read and there are many markings on it. An Attorney would have to determine to be sure.

Our meeting was started at 7:05 with Jim Berkman from the City of Parkland going over the reason for this letter. He distributed and reviewed FEMA form 325. Prior to the passage of FEMA 325 the City would/could come into the community, if needed, to clear the HOA roads for emergency vehicle access after a natural disaster.  FEMA now requires a signed access agreement by the HOA which gives the City the right to access our private community for debris removal after a natural disaster.  Without a signed agreement there is no guarantee that the City will remove any debris since FEMA would not reimburse the City for their costs.   Motion by Janine Grimaldi to sign the letter, second by Sue Dobson, all approve.  

After reviewing the bids for the replacement trees that were removed last year due to lightning strikes, it was decided to have Diversified Landscape replace 3 trees with phoenix sylvestris palm trees. Motion to do so made by Janine Grimaldi , second by Sue Dobson, all approve.  

Motion made by Janine Grimaldi and second by Mitch Atkins to approve a Sherwin Williams paint palette book for painting of homes. This book will have colors added/deleted on an annual basis. It will be kept at the Hillsboro guard booth and also at the Sherwin Williams paint store located on Hillsboro and Lyons . Ternbridge homeowners will also receive a 15% discount from this Sherwin Williams store. Additional colors can be approved by the ARB committee on a case-by-case basis. All board members approve.   

VI.                NEW BUSINESS    

Mitch Atkins brought a section of the documents which required the board to have a fidelity bond to the attention of all board members.  Proposals were discussed for this bond. The board will investigate further on this matter with previous board president, Cecil Lander.  

After discussion it was decided there was no need to start a committee for document changes at this time as our document changes would have to be approved by Terramar.  

It is not known at this time if tree trimming is needed for 2009.  The board will decide this by email after inspecting the property. If it is decided to have this done, the palms will be trimmed by Florida Coast who has submitted a bid through Diversified Landscape.  

VII.               HOMEOWNERS OPEN FORUM

Janine Grimaldi would like to go on record as not being happy with our law firm now or in the past. Merie also agreed with Janine that they were not good at follow up and needed to be reminded on certain items over and over again. Mitch Atkins said Merie should call Leigh Katzman directly when there is a problem.  

Mitch Atkins will download the Ternbridge Documents onto a disc.  

The bushes across from Debbie Tramontano’s home do need to be replaced. Diversified will be asked for a price for this project.  A final decision will be made by the Board after the quote is received.   Landscaper to cut under the band at Hillsboro Blvd.  

Mitch would like to have a set date for meetings. The 3rd Wed. of every 3 months.  

There is a homeowner running a business out of his home and this will be addressed by the appropriate committee.

IV.       REPORTS

Given by Mitch Atkins.  Mitch gave a brief report as he was just given the financial report at the meeting. We finished out 2008 $3K under budget and that is with the deposit made for the new entry system. We have budgeted more for legal in 2009 due to the amount of homes in collections and going into foreclosure. We have $31K in uncollected maintenance fees for 2008. Mitch said we must be very careful as to where we place our money with all the investment problems happening at this time.    

            The street lights have finally been upgraded by the tennis courts. This was done by FPL with no cost to us other then the higher electric bill for brighter lights. This was completed on December 22, 2008. 
Payment in the amount of $3300.00 was received from one homeowner who was in collection with the Attorney.  This brings them current thru 12/08. 

From time to time homeowners are calling for gate clickers. 
The last 4 sidewalks which need repair should be done this month at a cost of $1650.00.
As of December 31st, 2008 the past due maintenance amount was $34,628.  Minus $3300.00 paid from the homeowner mentioned above, leaves $31,328.00 outstanding.  Some of which the Attorney may be holding. 

Sue Dobson met with Marvin from AT&T. They had requested cutting a hole in our wall which  was discussed at the last meeting. After discussion with the AT&T rep. it was agreed that Ternbridge  would remove a portion of hedge along the wall and replace with pavers 16X16 or larger. The pavers were not use, sod was the replacement.

The new landscape company is doing a very good job. There are no complains coming into the office and any time we need something they comply. We are now down to 3 board members and that is fine per your documents.

 

Tom Kolack reported that the ARB Committee has been working on a color pallet with Sherwin  Williams. It may be ready as soon as Tuesday, January 20th for Board review and approval.  Homeowner, Debbie Rowars commented that she was very upset with having to live next to the green house. This is a home that was painted prior to ARB application or approval. She said not only is it hard to look at everyday, but it has affected her ability to sell her home.  This home was an issue that was compromised between the ARB Committee and the homeowner after it was painted. The Board hoped they would have known how she and her neighbors felt prior to the compromise.

  

IV.              OLD BUSINESS        

The City is requesting an application be submitted at this time along with a $2500.00 application fee.  The Board would like to fight this fee; however they do not want to hold up the entry system any longer than need be.  Motion made by Mitch Atkins to pay the fee and fight the fee at the next City Hall meeting. Second by Janine Grimaldi, all approve.

Mitch will also ask ACAS if we should have the gate camera’s on this application at this time.  

After Board discussion it was agreed to have Cougar Construction do the final four sidewalk repair work at a fee of $1650.00. Motion made by Mitch Atkins, second by Janine Grimaldi, all approve.  

 

VI.              NEW BUSINESS     

Dave Roth who is with Hills Adjustment Agency has been acting on behalf of Ternbridge and has received a settlement offer for the damage done to the asphalt by Waste Mgmt. on June 6th, 2008, in the amount of $14K.  Mitch Atkins will ask questions in regards to payment for stripping, permits and engineering. Mitch motions to accept this $14K settlement, second by Janine, all agree. Mitch would like to get an update price for our reserves as to how much it will actually cost to reseal or repave the asphalt when needed. Cecil Lander volunteered to do this inspection with the vendor as he is knowledgeable in this area.  

After much discussion regarding parking in the cul de sac’s, and also of children riding motorized vehicles unsafely through out the community, it was decided to table this until the next meeting. It was also mentioned that the police should be called when the children are seen riding through out the community on motorized vehicles.  

After much discussion as to how important it is to enforce the documents and ARB rules it was motioned by Mitch Atkins, second by Sue Dobson to adopt a resolution to fine a fee of $500.00 for doing work without an ARB application or approval. All board members approve.  A mailing will be done to inform homeowners of this resolution and it will include an updated ARB application. This will be mailed after the board has seen and approved the Sherwin William paint color pallet so all homeowners will also be notified of this pallet in the mailing as well.  

Helen and Jeff Kennedy were heard by the Board in regards to their Grievance Committee fining at the beginning of the meeting.  They stated what happened and in their opinion why. The board will take this information under advisement and discuss with the Maintenance and Grievance Committees and get back to Mr. & Mrs. Kennedy.  

Board members will take pictures of other communities that have entrances that have statues and other curb appeal items other than trees. They will then discuss other options for the entrances, due to not wanting to spend a lot of money of trees which may again be struck by lightning and the money then have been wasted for the trees.  

Sue Dobson replaced those existing light bulbs which could be replaced with more energy efficient bulbs.  

VII.            HOMEOWNERS OPEN FORUM

Debbie Rowars commented that the back gate should have a nicer sign as to their new hours.

Debbie also asked if there is a way to let guests and vendors know where to get to their destinations in the community. Merie said the guards have a post card with a map that they have given her and can be asked to give this out.  Mitch said the new entrance system will have the capability to print out directions.

Ron Gross asked that the landscaper trimmed around the speed limit signs in the community.

It was mentioned that the bushes in the cul de sac by 6647 NW 72nd Place may have been sprayed by the exterminator with something that has damaged the bushes. Merie will have the landscaper check this.

Property Manager’s Report

Given by Merie Mangan. Merie reported that the 2 street lights to be installed free of charge from FPL would cost us between $6K-$10K to dig the ground for piping. Solor lighting would cost about $11K. FPL can increase the wattage of the 2 lights in the tennis court areas at no fee to us. We would have to pay the higher electric bill. All agree to this.

The letter was prepared and is ready to be mailed with the approved budget. First group of sidewalks have been repaired, next group to be discussed under old business.

There are homeowners who have political signs on their property which need to be removed per our documents. There is a homeowner who continues to do exterior modifications without an ARB application. This homeowner has received letters, and certified letters with the application form and continues to ignore it. It is agreed by the ARB and Grievance Committee to fine this homeowner.

V. OLD BUSINESS

Front Entrance Redesign Project- Mitch thanked Sue for all her hard work. The board believes this is not the time to spend. This project has been tabled for a later time.

New Street Lighting- See Mgmt. Report.

AT & T Gate Project- All board members agree not to give AT & T permission to put in a gate.

The Board would like to accommodate AT & T if possible in another way. Mitch Atkins will correspond with the AT & T representative.

New Entry Update- Half of this project has been paid for. We are waiting on permitting approval from the City. We will have a higher gate, removing the back guard, and will have bar codes for entry.

Sidewalk Repairs- We have received a second proposal to repair more sidewalks. Sue said we are liable if someone falls and can not put off this project. Mitch will check the proposed repairs the next time the compliance committee does an inspection. Motion made by Mitch, second by Janine, all approve that subject to this inspection, the repairs will be done by Florida Sidewalk Solutions.

2009 Proposed Budget- All line items explained by Mitch Atkins. We need to see what the Terramar Association fees will be. Subject to this budget figure, motion to accept the budget made by Mitch Atkins, second by Janine Grimaldi, all approve. Janine thanked Mitch for all his hard work.

Holiday Lighting- Holiday Lighting has a better price than Ford Services. Both have bid on lighting on the 3 Majual palms which have been removed due to lightning. We will have Holiday Lighting remove the fees for the Majual trees and accept their bid. All agree to this. Holiday Lighting- Holiday Lighting has a better price than Ford Services. Both have bid on lighting on the 3 Majual palms which have been removed due to lightning.  Janine wanted a little more time to see if she could remember the name of company given to her by a resident.  We spoke about the having the quote adjusted by not wrapping the Royal Palms at the reat ($1500 savings) thereby also saving the Lift rental of $400.  This would reduce the quote by $1900 on these two items alone.  Plus should reduce the quote since less lights will be needed and labor costs should go down as well. We agreed to wait and make a final vote after we get updated info. 

Pressure Cleaning- bids were obtained to clean around both entrances, guard houses and island curbs. The bids were $1065 from No-Pressure and $665 from Hartzell. We will also ask that the bridge curbs be cleaned. Mitch Atkins motion to accept bid from Hartzell, second by Janine Grimaldi, all approved. We asked that Hartzell quote for pressure cleaning the sidewalks at the front entrance from the gates out to the street and just wanted to know the price, but we are good with their quote otherwise

Community Improvements
Posted 4/18/07

The board has initiated a series of major improvements to the community and we want to bring everyone up to date with these items.

TERNBRIDGE ENTRY WALLS
When the walls along Hillsboro were painted last year the color of the marble clashed with the new paint scheme. The board voted to replace the gray marble with a new surface of Travertine Marble to compliment the paint color. New lettering was also ordered and permits were issued by the City.

During this process a discussion about the wall at the East end of Ternbridge was concluded with the City passing title to Ternbridge for the wall near the walking trail which now bears the lettering Terramar.

Instead of rebuilding one wall we are now doing both walls at the same time. A contract has been placed and we expect the work to be completed in a few weeks and both walls will identify Ternbridge.

As you have noticed new lighting has been added to the wall at the outbound lane of the Hillsboro gate and when the Travertine is added a completely new look will be established.

PARKSIDE GATE UPGRADE
This project has several facets and is designed to better control traffic entry into Ternbridge through the "back" gates.

Lift arm gates will be added to the outbound side of the existing gates and will work in conjunction with the existing gates. The tandem gates will stop tailgating as only one car can entry at a time and only cars with clickers will be able to gain entry to Ternbridge.

A lift gate will also be installed on the outbound gate to prevent cars from entering into this gate as has been seen often by residents.

A push button call box will be added to the guard house so that visitors can dial a resident at any time and through the phone system a resident can open the gates for a guest 24/7

When this work is complete the guard will be retired from this gate.

We are in the process of applying for permits, a contractor has been selected and a deposit has been paid.. Work will start as soon as the City issues the permit to build.

We will keep you informed as to the progress of this improvement.

Important Announcement
Posted April 14, 2006

Having made the decision not to seek a 5th term as a Board member I was looking forward to encouraging residents to run for a Board seat at our April 11th Board meeting.  

Unfortunately only two residences were represented and one of those is a hard working member of a committee leaving only ONE resident from 197 homes who showed for our meeting.

At our last annual meeting we did not have enough proxies or residents present to hold an election and fortunately the existing Board agreed to accept another term.

Things will be different this year as one and possibly more Board members will not seek re-election for another term.  

For your information if we fail to elect a new Board of Directors the State of Florida can step in and run the Ternbridge Homeowners Association which would be a disaster.

I encourage residents to keep in mind the Annual meeting which is tentatively set for June 14th and we ask you to consider the following:

This is a critical election and I urge ALL residents to take a serious interest in running the affairs of Ternbridge. This is your community, PLEASE GET INVOLVED and don’t leave it to others

Announcements will be in the mail shortly, please do not discard and at a minimum return the proxy.

Thanks

 

Cecil Lander
President, Ternbridge HOA

News Form the Board
Posted May 15, 2005

The following will give all residents a look at what has been a very busy few months for your board of directors.
Landscape: For the first time since Ternbridge was built by various developers we have been working to give a fresh look to the landscaping. Many meetings were held with different bidders and we have now awarded a contract to Robert Mainguy for a major renovation of our landscaping.

This work will include upgrading all of the islands, renovating the front gate area and a major redevelopment at the Parkside gate. The area from the tennis courts to the Parkside gate will be cleaned up and planting will take place in this area for the first time.

We think that you will be pleased with the appearance of Ternbridge when we get finished. Work should start in a week or so.

We thank Andrea Morgan for her work in heading up this effort and she is now in charge of scheduling and approving the installation.

Mail Boxes: Work has now been completed and we hope that you are pleased with the appearance. The house numbers are clearly visible both day and night. For best results we recommend that you apply a good quality car wax to the boxes to help them keep their luster.

Street Signs: This work has also been completed and there is no question that this has been a huge success. They complement the mailboxes and the street address are now clearly visible.

Tree Trimming: We have placed a contract with a certified arborist to trim all 367 swale trees in Ternbridge. This will involve clipping the bottom branches to meet federal ADA regulations and also to raise the bottom canopy to promote better growth and make street signs more visible. All work will be done in accordance with Broward County regulations. Work should start on this contract very shortly.

Bridge Touch Up: The railing and light fixtures at the Hillsboro gate were in great need of touch up paint. Now that we have added the mailboxes and street signs we used this opportunity to repaint the bridge fixtures to match these installations.

Security Cameras: Within the next week or so you should see some construction activity at the Parkside Gate. This will be for the installation of video cameras which will run 24 hours per day to photograph activity at these gates. Images will be stored and will be available for police review when damage incidents occur. 

We have experienced a lot of damage to the operators and gate systems at these gates caused by people pushing the gates open with cars and trucks. A number of people, suspected of pushing the gates have been interviewed by the Sheriff's department and the installation of these cameras will aid in identifying cars and trucks involved in these incidents.

After a trial period we will install live feed to the Hillsboro gate so that the guard on duty can observe action at the Parkside gate 24 hours per day and call for police action if any suspicious activity is spotted.

Please inform all of your service contractors and visitors to refrain from pushing open these gates with their vehicles. The police will prosecute anyone found breaking into Ternbridge.

The re-scheduled board meeting will be held on Tuesday, September 28th. at 7 PM at the Old City Hall. This is the replacement date for the meeting that was canceled due to torrential rain.

At this meeting the board will appoint persons who have volunteered to fill vacant seats and will expand the board from 3 to 5 persons.

We know that board meetings do not interest many people but we again call for you to take an interest in running the affairs of Ternbridge.


Ternbridge Annual Meeting
June 29, 2004
Posted: July 5, 2004

This years meeting was a far cry from last year when we had 92 votes on hand. This year we had a total of 16, including a few proxies. The turnout was so low that we did not have a quorum therefore we did not have a meeting. The existing board will remain in place as provided for in our bylaws.

Equally disappointing was the fact that we had no candidates for the two new seats created by the board to provide more interest in running the affairs of our community.

The next meeting of the board will be on Wednesday, September 8th at which time we hope to have a few volunteers for the two new seats and the board will appoint two residents from those applying.


May Board Meeting
Posted May 5, 2004

The next meeting of the board of directors will be held on Thursday May 13th @ 7:00 PM at the Library on the City Hall Campus. There are some very interesting topics to be discussed and you are encouraged to attend. The agenda follows.

The first meeting of the new Board of Directors was held on Thursday, September 19, 2002 at the Old City Hall on Parkside Drive.

Here are a few notes from that meeting, but please remember that they are unofficial until the minutes are approved at the next meeting.

The board heard reports from the four standing committees and from the management company.

The Security Committee has lost its chairman due to relocation and this committee is looking for new members. If you have any interest in serving, please let me know and I will pass your name onto the board.

The finance committee chair, Barbara Hastings reported that a review of the current year finances is underway and they are working on a budget for the next fiscal year.

The Compliance Committee will hold its next meeting on September 26th to discuss our next walk through of the community.

The Communication Committee could use a few new members. We missed our quarterly flyer due to the lack of articles. Please contact us if you want to serve on this committee but please also send us articles for the flyer.

Management talked about bids it is received for holiday lights at gate houses, tree trimming, sidewalk cleaning, and flower planting. The board gave their OK and set a schedule for their implementation

Our police representative, Sergeant Ferrara spoke about illegal stop violations, bad cornering habits and speeding in our community. The board authorized the continuation of police patrols to curb these problems.

Please avoid tickets and accidents in Ternbridge. Slow down, stop at stop signs and don't cut corners. If residents don't follow these rules we might be forced to use speed and guide bums, which none of us want to see used in Ternbridge.

Mayor Sal Pagliara spoke at the meeting about his service to Parkland and his effort to be re-elected on March, 11, 2003

The meeting was attended by ten residents and was adjourned at about 9 PM.

There is an established protocol for this and by clicking on you will be at a web site that describes the correct way to fly the Stars and Stripes.

Please treat the Flag with the dignity it deserves

Traffic Regulations
Posted May 15, 2002

Recognizing that our residents, our families and our children are our most precious resources, the Board of Directors has authorized the Parkland Police department to enforce traffic regulations within Ternbridge.

We have had a number of incidents, prompting this action, involving speeding, failure to stop at stop signs and cutting corners when making turns that have caused near accidents.

The intersection of 64th Terrace and 72nd Place, which handles a lot of traffic, to and from the front gate, is a particularly dangerous corner and we ask all residents to take special care at this location.

Please be aware of all traffic rules when driving in Ternbridge and avoid being cited by the Parkland Police who will soon be on duty in our neighborhood

Please: Watch your speed
Please: Don't cut corners
Please: Stop at stop signs
Please: Keep Ternbridge safe

Board Meeting Notes
Feb 21, 2002

The following are notes from the board meeting, which was attended by 7 homeowners, 4 of whom work on sub committees.

Guard Update: The owner of the guard company was in attendance and it was made very clear to him that the rules of entry into our community must be fully enforced. Watch for improvement in the guard performance and if you have ANY complaints about entry violations please bring these immediately to the attention of Haag Management.

Gate Clickers: We have all received notification about the upgrade of the gate computer systems. This is needed to improve the performance of the entry control system at both gates and to make sure that all clickers are being used, only by Ternbridge Homeowners. ALL CLICKERS WILL HAVE TO BE REGISTERED so that their I/D number can be programmed into the new control computer. If you don't register your clicker you will not be able to open the gates after the upgrade. CALL THE GUARDHOUSE 344-7359 AND REGISTER YOUR AUTO-KEY CLICKER NUMBER.

Entry Wall Letters: As you have seen the letters have been restored to their original condition on the front wall. We thank the Parkland Police for their diligent pursuit of the person responsible for the vandalism. The cost to replace the letters has been reimbursed to our HOA.

Gate Damage: The operating arms have been damaged on a number of occasions and it is important that all residents report incidents of damage to Haag management. Recently a garbage truck collided with the gates causing almost $2,500.00 in damage, which was reimbursed by the garbage company. Please be observant and report incidents.

Speeding: There is concern that cars speeding through our streets are a danger to our kids. We ask anyone who sees speeding report the offenders to Haag management. Letters will be sent to offenders and if this does not solve the problem we will ask the Parkland Police to set up radar traps.

Dog Violations: Owners allowing their dogs to defecate without using pick up methods is offensive to all residents. There have been many incidents of this happening and owners are asked to be considerate of all neighbors' property. Our Ternbridge documents are very specific on this subject (see web site and your documents). Letters will be sent to violators and everyone is asked to report incidents to Haag management.

Notes by Cecil Lander

Guard Services

This brief report is a service to keep you informed about the guard services.

The back gate is now manned for only one shift, from 7 AM to 5 PM. At all times residents are still able to enter the back gate by using our clickers but guests musts be directed to the front gate at all other times. Exiting the rear gate works for everyone, at all times.

The Board is continuing their negotiations with the guard company to implement a new contract, which will include most of the issues discussed in previous meetings. As soon as this new contract is signed we will bring you the details of the new regulations regarding entry into Ternbridge.
