  I.   Minutes from the last meeting held on January 11, 2001, were approved as corrected.

III.  OLD BUSINESS

    a.  Reserve Fund  Ann Nickerson made a motion that we deposit $5,000 from our general account into Fidelity Cash Reserves to fund our emergency reserve.  John Wood seconded, the motion was carried unanimously.

     b.  Ordinance to limit boat size in canals  Ann Nickerson advised that the Marine Advisory Board will meet March 28;  if this ordinance limiting both commercial and non-commercial boat size (to under 75’ length; and limiting width to 20’ in an 80’ wide canal; and to 25’ in 100’ wide canal) is approved, it will then go to the BOCC.

    c.  Federation of Homeowners  John Wood reported that Commissioner Murray Nelson spoke regarding downstairs enclosures and also the wastewater issue.  A decision will be made soon regarding the sunshine law violation.  If approved, we’re looking at $5400 connection fee (which could be less if Federal Funds share is increased) and approximately $22 per month (based on usage).

IV.  NEW BUSINESS

    a.  Speed control  Ann Nickerson advised she had many complaints regarding speeding cars on our Port Largo streets.  We discussed the possibility of speed bumps and lowering speed limit, with strict enforcement.  Mary Nelson made a motion that we lower the speed limit to 20 mph, strictly enforced.  Cara Smith seconded and the motion was carried unanimously.  Ann Nickerson will speak with Lou Caputo to ask his advice, to see if we can get a “double fine” area near our park, and to see if he will furnish a movable sign.

    b.  Code Enforcement  A Board Member reported on a complaint PLRPOA received on 256 St. Thomas, where fourteen cars with no tags and an old outboard engine were in the front yard.  Monroe County Code Enforcement responded, and when a Board Member went by to check that night, all the cars were gone.  A Board Member reported on a complaint PLRPOA received on a house on Laguna with three apartments on one septic tank.

    c.  Annual Meeting/Election of Officers  Ann Nickerson read the names from the Nominating Committee.  Our board elected; Marshall Walker - President;  John Wood - Vice President;  Mary Nelson - Secretary;  Frances Simmons - Treasurer.  Our directors for the new year are:  Ann Nickerson, Cara Smith, Karen Sebastian, Edwina Lindeman and Glenn Patton.

    d.    Community Park  Ann Nickerson read a letter from Commissioner Dixie Spehar regarding hours at the park.  With a consensus from our board, PLRPOA has proposed the park open at 7AM in the winter and 6:30 AM in summer and close at 9PM.  We discussed drug use in park and Smart Cop program, with the possibility of guards in afternoon and evening until closing.  Ocean Reef raised $30,000 for YMCA Tennis program.  YMCA is running $70,000 deficit in Monroe County.

    e.  Newsletter  John Wood would like to insert the questionnaire we had at our annual meeting in our newsletter in order to get a consensus for our delegates to give them direction with the Federation.  John Wood will give Mary Nelson information to be inserted.  Mary Nelson will print a draft of the March newsletter and give copies to the board for editing and/or input.  Frances would like a note included to request homeowners to call first before coming to her home for payment of dues and keys.  Mary Nelson will call Al Herum for Fishing Tournament information to include in this newsletter also.

    f.  Annual Fishing Tournament/Annual Picnic  We will discuss further at our next board meeting.  Karen Sebastian volunteered to be Food Coordinator and Cara Smith volunteered to pick up items at Costco.  Ann Nickerson will be out of town and will not be at our April meeting.  John Wood suggested we consider purchase or rental of a portable PA system.  Karen Sebastian will look into cost and advise us at our next meeting.  John Wood also advised we need repair work on the water line in our homeowners park.  Glenn Patton will look at the line and see if he can do the repair work.  John Wood advised he received a request from Mr. Fernandez, 61 Bahama, Chief of Rescue at our Fire Dept. that they would like us to furnish them with a key to our park.  A motion was made and carried.  Mary Nelson will write a letter to Sergio Garcia, KL Fire Chief with the date the lock is changed, advising them they will be responsible to request a new key on February 19, 2002.

    g.  Website  Glenn Patton volunteered to build a website for our association.  We will put the website address in our newsletter.
