Enhancement Committee Meeting

Crystal called the meeting to order.

• Crystal thanked Hal and Joni for beautifying the plants at the front.
• Iris gave a treasurer’s report – We now have 21,719.00 in our account. We switched
  the account to First Citizens. We are required to keep at least 5,000.00 in the
  account.
• Louis gave a report on commercial grade umbrellas that he found out about. They
  cost 443.00/umbrella. Jeff Booth asked if we could speak to someone that has
  bought one of the umbrellas and how they hold up or look at reviews. Lynn is going
  to check out prices at other companies before we make a decision. We will vote
  using email after Lynn gets prices.
• Tracy got prices on palm trees at Coastal Mulch. They are 374.00 each and 200.00 to
  install. Do we want to replace the palm tree at the pool? Tracy is going to find out if
  they will take down and remove the old one then we will decide what to do by voting
  through email.
• Ginnie – She gave a report about lattice at the front around the electrical box. She is
  suggesting build a frame around it and then adding lattice to the frame. Mark is going
  to check on things and we will discuss again. Then she talked about lighting at the
  front at the palm trees. She suggested spot lights instead of lights wrapped around
  the tree trunks. She is going to check out prices and get back with us. Next she
  talked about purchasing a picnic table for the front. The cost of a table at Seacoast
  in Morehead would be 1,049.62. Louis made a motion to purchase the table. (Ginnie
  gave 2 more quotes that were over 1,500.) Marty asked would we want to get 2
  tables for that price. Louis changed his motion to purchase 2 tables. It was voted on
  and passed. We will purchase 2 tables. Marty and Ginnie will take care of getting
  these 2 tables.
• Tracy talked about the mulch at the playground. Do we want to add border around
  the mulch and/or mats for under the swings? We will no add mats. We will
  periodically rake to make sure that the mulch is under the swings. Tracy is going to
  get a quote for adding border to this area. (The man was not interested in adding our
  border.) Crystal is going to check with Gene Stancil to see if he wants to do the
  border project. She also talked about boards at horseshoe area. Jeff Booth and
  Mark will tear up boards and get sand to add to the area?
• Mark gave a report about speakers and microphone for shelter area. He has
  researched online to get ideas and prices. All of the prices were around 1,000.
  dollars for 4 to 6 speakers. Louis said that this is an enhancement and HOA project.
  We need to make sure that we get something that will last in the coastal weather.
  Louis made a motion that we spend 2,000. total on this project and to have it in
  place by June 7th. (1,000./account) This motion was approved.
