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.

Mitch Atkins, Treasurer, Stuart Goldberg, and Tony Mangione- Secretary
Merie Mangan, Property Manager of Haag Management was also present.

gave a brief update prior to the start of the meeting.
Motion to accept the minutes by Mitch Atkins, second by Tony Mangione, all approve.
Finance Report- By Mitch Atkins
Due to the year end financials not received by Mitch yet, the report was brief. We will be adding in another bad debt line item of $10K for 2010.
ARB/Maintenance Committee- By Tom Kolack
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 now 10 homes in for collection at this time. 2 placed at the end of December with the new
law firm of Kaye & Bender. These 2 homes should be going directly to lien and not have a second
demand letter sent to them. The amount of money owned to the community from these 10 homes is:
$22,585.
Merie will get new prices on the tree trimming. No complaints received regarding the new company
that did the holiday lighting so if you are happy with them we can use them again next year.
Merie emailed Leigh Katzman when he billed for a retainer for 2010. Merie asked him to remove as
per the original contract this should not be charged. He did not respond back. All else is quiet. The
guards are doing a very good job there are no complaints.
New Entry Update- Permitting – Update by Sue Dobson
The bar codes are now working. There are still many people who have not received the bar codes and a
notice is being mailed with additional dates. Clickers will be cut off as of February 1. Homeowners
with specific questions and problems were addressed, and the bar code committee is doing all possible to
make this a smooth and easy transition for all.
New Attorney-
Kaye & Bender has been hired to be an additional attorney. A resolution for deposit for Kaye & Bender
was signed by all board members.
Resealing/ Paving of Community Streets- Reported by Cecil Lander
Cecil shared a written report (Number 5) and verbally gave an update as to the proposals for the paving
and gutter repairs. He also told all about a new product called E-Krete that has a 10 year warranty. Cecil
needs to see who the new contact will be at the City as Horacio Danovich is no longer there. Cecil will
need to see what permits are required. He will have final prices wrapped up in a couple of weeks.
Bar Code Policy-
Discussion as to whether to turn off bar codes when owners are 75 days delinquent. Motion by Sue
Dobson, second by Stuart Goldberg to do this. After discussion this motion was tabled for further
discussion at a later date. People needing a bar code after the scheduled dates can contact Merie who
will notify Sue Dobson who will make arrangements to put the bar code in place.
Signage Violations by Vendors Working in the Community-
The policy was reviewed for homeowners to be notified when their vendor puts a sign on the lawn or in
the window. The compliance committee will be contacted to verify and at their direction, Merie will
send a letter to remove the sign. The reminder of "No Signs" will be added to the ARB form.
Annual Tree Trimming for April 2010-
Merie will get proposals to trim the common area palms and other common area trees. After receiving
a count for the swale trees, Merie will get proposals to trim them as well. This will then be discussed at
the next meeting as to whether the association will trim these trees that belong to the homeowners.
New Signage at Parkside due to no Guard-
Three new signs have been ordered to let people know of no visitor /vendor entrance at Parkside as well
as the gate closing after each vehicle.
Janine Grimaldi asked about another vendor to remove bees at the tennis court area. Merie let her know
we are waiting on the vendor she recommended to take a look. Janine asked about flowers at the entrances, and Sue told her we would do that in the spring. Janine also said the Sue may be taking on too much and should let Haag Mgmt. do more. Sue Dobson asked Merie to find out from Attorney Katzman why lot #9 is so far behind and what is being done with this file? Cecil Lander commented that there is very little web site activity. Cecil asked what should be done if he sees someone working from their home and was told to call the City.

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

ANNUAL BUDGET MEETING FOR 2010 BUDGET &
BOARD OF DIRECTORS MEETING
Wednesday October 14th, 2009 7:00 PM
The meeting was called to order at 7:10 p.m. by Sue Dobson, President.
Board Members present are: Sue Dobson , Janine Grimaldi- Vice President, Mitch Atkins, Treasurer, and Stuart Goldberg. Excused: Tony Mangione- Secretary.
*** Sheriff Chief O’Connell gave a brief update prior to the start of the meeting.
Motion to accept the minutes by Janine Grimaldi, second by Mitch Atkins, all approve.
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.
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.
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
Estimated repaving costs (Front section): $170,000 plus $58,000 for Gutters and culdesacs
Estimated repaving costs (Estate Section): $57,000 plus $29,000 for Gutters and culdesacs
Reserve withholding increased to $30,000 for 2010, estimated $32,500 for 2011 and $35,000 for 2012.
Then est. $25,000 / year for 2013 – 2021. The quarterly maintenance assessment for 2010 will remain
at $550.00. Motioned by Stuart Goldberg, second by Sue Dobson, all approve.

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.

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.

Given by Mitch Atkins. Mitch said we are in very unusual times right now. We have a healthy reserve account. It is with Van Guard and Van Guard has signed up for the money guarantee program so our money is protected.
Account Receivables
Given by Mitch Atkins. Mitch reported that there are homeowners who are in collections with the Attorney who have made payments to the Attorney. Due to the amount of money not collected from homeowners in 2008 he has increased the bad debt line item and the legal fee line item in the 2009 budget.
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. A letter to the homeowners in those areas will be sent letting them know that the brightness will be increased. We now have keys to lock the security booth at Hillsboro should a storm approach and the guard needs to leave the booth. A letter was requested by Merie from the board to let homeowners know about the entry changes as they have been requesting gate clickers. 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 is mulch in the areas on Hillsboro where the trees have been removed. This is a temporary fix until the redesign project decides what to put in this area. Sue Dobson is now on the redesign project as well as the sidewalk repair project. She has been very helpful with all association matters.
ARB/Maintenance Committee
Given by Ron Gross. The ARB committee has been sending violators to the Grievance Committee and when most homeowner’s get the notice of the Grievance Committee hearing and fining they are curing the violations. 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.

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

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.

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.

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.
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.
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 Annual Meeting of the Ternbridge Homeowner's Association was called to order by current Board Member Bret Ribotsky at 7:15 P.M. on July 23, 2002 at the Coconut Creek Recreation Center.
Bret Ribotsky explained that the purpose of the meeting was to elect two (2) new members to the Board of Directors and that a quorum had been obtained as 111 out of 197 lots were represented, either in person or by proxy at the meeting, so the business of the meeting could be conducted.
The candidates (Richard Landreth, Bret Ribotsky, and Eddie Rodriquez) were introduced and each gave a brief summary of their reasons for wanting to serve on the board.
The Board appointed homeowner Dennis LaVigne to oversee the collection and counting of the ballots.
The two (2) directors elected were Richard Landreth and Bret Ribotsky. Each will serve a one-year term in accordance with the Ternbridge documents. Rob Gordon will remain on the board as the developer representative as Gordon Homes still owns lots in Ternbridge.
The meeting was adjourned at 7:45 P.M.
Immediately following the Annual Homeowners Meeting at 7:45 P.M., the newly elected board proceeded to elect officers. Rob Gordon made a motion to elect: Bret Ribotsky as President and Richard Landreth as Treasurer and Secretary. Bret Ribotsky seconded the motion and it unanimously carried. Rob Gordon will serve as a director.
The next Board meeting will be September 24, 2002 at 7:00 PM at a location to be determined.
The Board of Directors recognizes that it is the right of all residents to display the U.S. Flag. The Board however requests that any resident who chooses to fly the Flag will do so with respect.
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
![]()
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
![]()
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
![]()
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.
