(Historian’s Notes)

This year continued with a Board and Management company focused on Moving Forward with best operation and management practices. The new philosophy established of openness and transparency, welcoming owner input, has resulted in a well maintained community with blossoming social activities and happy residents.  

   THE MOST SIGNIFICANT CHANGE IN 2023 was a State Governing Policy now requiring employees that control ingress and egress must be licensed by the Private Investigators Licensing Board (PILB). 

FDL Management and Legal Counsel disagreed and challenged this directive, to no avail.  

Workshops held to review options and bids for hiring outsourced Licensed Vendor or cease staffing the gatehouse with an electronic keypad system controlling entry.  

With an annual cost (today) for outsourcing running $80-90,000 compared to under $10,000 to upgrade the gatehouse entry keypad system, it was determined the latter was most prudent.

 

CCRs only require  HOA general meetings of members to be held once a year.  FDL has historically held monthly meetings except for July and December.

CCRs require Meeting Agenda with recommended format be issued before each meeting.

Meetings are to use Parliamentary Procedures rules.

Meeting Minutes  Previous month Minutes routinely approved most years. 

Meetings are recorded and then transcribed by Management Company. 

Presidents since 8/2021, focused on transparency, have directed current Management to  issue a Meeting packet at least 10 days before the monthly HOA meeting. Pack is comprehensive with Agenda, Minutes of last meeting, budgets, reserves, management and operations reports. 

Annual Election: Significant again this year to have five capable Directors interested in Moving Forward with better operation and management practices.  Directors are focused on total transparency, quality maintenance and smooth operation.
