Signup tonight or on April 11^th or 13^th. We plan to continue having monthly dinners throughout the summer if there is enough interest.
We are trying to change the date of the annual HOA Pool Party to April 26^th. Louise Muskas has graciously agreed to coordinate the event. Help will be needed, including some tall folks to help put up the canopies. If it rains, we’ll be inside.

The Flea Market coordinator, Kent, has just undergone emergency surgery. Sandi asked if anyone was willing to take it over, but no hands were raised. Twelve tables were already sold. Refunds will be given. As no one will assume responsibility, the Flea Market scheduled for 5/2 is officially cancelled. Kent said he would hopefully be able to coordinate one in the Fall.
There will be a Memorial Day program at the flagpole on May 25^th. We also plan to hold a program at the flagpole on July 4^th in honor of our nation’s 250^th anniversary.

Old Business/Board of Director’s Report

Inspection issues

Issues continue and we all need to keep fighting unfair practices. Still no progress with our outreach to various agencies and press

New Business

Jaime Ciarla announced that she has started a series of podcasts entitled “Silent Seniors No More.” Jaime explained that the podcasts are brief, 5 to 10 minutes, and can be viewed on Spotify. She is interviewing park residents and shining a light on situations as they occur. Louise noted that it is a good way to stay informed about things that are going on the park.
Pre-sale tickets for the PSL High School production of “Frozen” are available from Jaime.

Good of the Order

Pat Englebrake shared that inspections have started up once again. Jaime noted that if anyone comes on a resident’s property, the resident has the right to ask for ID – their name and job. Based on FL Statute 723.025, there are very limited reasons for coming on a leased property. If their reason isn’t valid, you have the right to ask them to leave. If they don’t comply, you should call the police. It was suggested that you record the interaction on your cell phone if possible.
Question asked regarding what the Wynne’s can evict you for. The reasons are non-payment of rent and “breaking park rules.” Bill researched litigation by Wynne to evict residents. He only found 2 reasons – #1 Living in the park without permission, and #2 Failure to pay rent. If you are in a conflict with them and they refuse to take your rent, you need to get an attorney, and they then back down.

Adjournment – Motion to adjourn made by Louise Muskas and seconded by Fran Neal. All were in favor, and meeting was adjourned at 7:33 PM.

Respectively submitted,

Susan George, HOA Secretary
