OLD BUSINESS
Barbara read the minutes and updates from March’s meeting. Items that were discussed were as follows:
BACKFLOW PREVENTERS – Barbara stated that 5 systems and covers have been installed. This month 3 more, Cluster 5, 6 and 7 will be completed. Parts are on backorder due to the demand of systems in various communities around the area. We will send an email out to these villas clusters as soon as the installation is officially scheduled.
CANAL/SPRINKLER ISSUE – The flow of water to our pump has been resolved to assure good pressure to our sprinkler system with the installation of a new line that was put into the deeper part of the canal on the other side of the bridge. However, more problems have been discovered. Joe was asked to address these issues, he informed the Board of the major leak in the main line pipe on Lemon Tree. (By the plaza wall.) The pipe cracked. due to the roots of a large tree uplifting the aging PVC pipe under the ground. Unfortunately, due to the age of our community and the neglect for years, we are experiencing many more problems with the pipes from the roots of large trees. The repair has been completed and prayerfully we will have our sprinklers system back on this week. For more information on this issues, Joe wrote an article with photos that can be viewed and read on our website at: https://gardenpatiovillas.com/gpv-news/community-in-focus
HOA FEES – As a reminder, due to the high cost of expenses each year, HOA fees will be increased to $510. as of January 1, 2022.
KEEP MARGATE GREEN – Presently there are no updates or changes. No news is good news!
