HIGHLIGHTS FROM
THE LAST MASTER BOARD MEETING
Abacus has been hired as the new
guard company for the front gates. Expect some delays as
they institute the new procedures for admitting
vehicles.
Fences along Goodlette Rd. and Orange Blossom Dr. will
be repaired where necessary. Damaged posts and top rails
will be replaced. The fences have been power washed in
preparation for the repairs.
A contact was approved with Any Town Tree for trimming
all trees in common areas. Homeowners are required to
trim trees on their property which extend over the
sidewalks.
The board has decided to wait on purchasing a jockey
pump for the new south pump station until we can
determine if one is necessary.
We will have a survey of the flow meters at all the
bermads to determine if any need to be replaced or if a
portable system can be implemented.
The members meeting will be Tuesday, February 7th.
Please attend.
At the present time no changes will be made regarding
the dog stations. It is vital that all homeowners clean
up after their pets and use the stations. Please see the
information below.
Beware of Dog (Poop)
Dog lovers beware...
Woof-woof waste does not a good fertilizer make. It is
actually toxic to your lawn, causing burns and unsightly
discoloring. More importantly, it has been estimated
that a single gram of dog feces can contain 23 million
fecal coliform bacteria, which are known to cause
cramps, diarrhea, intestinal illness, and serious kidney
disorders in humans.
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) even estimates
that two or three days worth of droppings from a
population of about 100 dogs would contribute enough
bacteria to temporarily close a bay, and all watershed
areas within 20 miles of it, to swimming and shell
fishing.
Dog feces are one of the most common carriers of the
following diseases:
·
Heartworms
·
Whipworms
· Hookworms
· Roundworms
· Tapeworms
·
Parvo Virus
· Corona
·
Giardiasis
· Salmonellosis
· Cryptosporidiosis
· Campylobacteriosis
Children, puppies, and kittens are most susceptible to
pet-borne illnesses because they have weaker immune
systems than adults do.
