Unfinished Business
Road Repairs-Pelletier
Dir. Pelletier said the roads are in good shape. $9320 will finish off the rest of the road patchwork and does not include Sun Dial Circle which followed with considerable discussion.
Welcome Center needs half the Parking lot overlaid. The Rec. Hall parking lot needs a complete do over. Dir. Pelletier received four bids from $18,500 to $236,403f for the Rec. Hall roof. An idea to have a rain recycle tank was brought up. Dir. Guerra showed concerned about an phone cable installation company cutting through the street without permission.
Rule Book-Pelletier
Revisions to be approved were Unit’s front parking area, measurement spot for measuring the roof height, minimum and maximum floor heights, total masonry construction to homes, dock extension wording, boat lift requirements, and the 3’ from the road rule to which he was criticized by Dir. Montalvo for singling out a builder to whom he had a confrontation with.
Dredging Survey Bids-Gagan
Dir. Gagan received four lower bids than the CRA survey. Dir. Montalvo said he believes if we do any survey it will open up a can of worms that will be used against our Village. He said we know we have a few trouble spots, why not use the survey money and focus on them. The response was the survey is information for the owners. When Dir. Gagan said they were going to survey the intercoastal but not canal H, it drew the attention of owner SC 48 who asked why not both? A good answer fell short but during the discussion the Board showed that they did not know the answer to dredging canal H owned by Mr. Cowan who who is currently suing our Village. Dir. Gagan asked ex-President Pat Burke and she said she had nothing to do with it, but still gave a lengthy opinion. This ended with having next Friday as the date the Board will vote for a survey and have the survey done and dredging bids soon enough to send with the Owner’s Packets.
The owner from SC 121 claimed that at one time the Village owned canal H because she would have not bought her place otherwise.
New Business

Motion was passed to have in the Owner’s packets a letter to petition the newly elected Congressman to react to our intercoastal problems.

Allied Waste Bid-Horner

Other
A motion was approved to join the Rio Grande Valley Chapter of Texas Recreational Vehicles Association for $250 annually.
Motion passed to send a proposal letter to the city of Port Isabel/SPI to request the WAVE to route stopping at our swing bridge. She wanted the Board to approve a motion for a way to avoid the fees charged by the banks for cashing Canadian checks used to pay condo fees. Motioned passed but I’m not sure for what way exactly.
Dir. Montalvo wanted to remind the Board that a yes or no vote will be in the Owner’s Packets for revisions on Director Absenteeism and term limits. It will be reviewed these revions at the Special Friday meeting.

Best damn reading I read in a long time! I could cry! Great job in getting better pricing and more bids! Thanks for cutting back on the Major Improvments! I know our new BOD will follow the same path..It will take all of the investors to help in our furture.
Scary reading. If Dir.Pelletier believes our roads are in good shape he hasn't been to E. Scallop in a while. Every heavy rain brings more deterioration. Dir. Gagen in charge of dredging doesn't inspire a lot of confidance. He never has the answers.
Dir Gagen is learning from Bergsma mistakes. He needs a chance. As far as Dir Pelletier, he is one that has been here to long and doesnt know how to chance his ways. Thats why we need new people. Dir P.can be a teacher to a point. They really all need to be respected. Some just cant be forgiven.
WELL IAM GOING TO ASK ONE MORE TIME WE ARE NEW IN THE PARK what is this shrimp boil who is having it.also if dir. Pelletier thinks these road's are OK he needs to go to a eye doctor.
To achieve better relations, this is a Port Isabel Chamber of Commerce event to be held at our Rec. Hall for two hours. Last heard was to stop by the C.O.C for tickets, price ?
Pelletier believes Village roads sub-structure are good but there is still 10K patchwork left along with all of Sun Dial Circle that Pelletier recently wasted Village money on putting in a hundred mini speed bumps.
