MAIN CLUBHOUSE SWITCHGEAR PROJECT - PHOTOGRAPHS
We have received many questions about the progress of the electrical work in the main clubhouse. The project is proceeding well and for those interested, we have obtained 121 photographs from WPRF.
These Photographs start on August 8 and continue day by day to August 23, 2011. We have scanned the pictures and uploaded them to GOOGLE Docs. They may be viewed at the following URL:
http://goo.gl/uHlTl
This is a big file; 252Mbyte, so please be patient in downloading it. The time required to download the file will depend on your ISP subscription, EG. if you still use Dial-up, don't bother, DSL will work but, be patient. Your best bet is Comcast High Speed INTERNET or faster.
If you intend to view the photos more than once, I would suggest that after the first download, that you save the file to your hard drive or to a flash drive or CD.
Enjoy.

FRAUD AVOIDANCE - FBI BULLETIN

Hurricane Preparedness
Please take a few minutes to review the checklist below. Unfortunately, several potentially life-saving steps have been missed by communities in the past. Now is the time to:
Identify residents of your community who have special medical needs and who will require special procedures for evacuation. Failure to identify these individuals before the storm approaches places their lives at risk, as well as the safety of emergency personnel;
Photograph and document the condition of your property so that you can demonstrate to an insurer the condition of your property prior to any damage;
Make sure that your communities’ critical documents are copied and electronically stored in a safe, hurricane-proof location;
Make multiple copies of your insurance carrier's contact information and store in a readily available location for easy access after the storm;
Identify any residences in your community with absentee owners, and secure outdoor belongings that could become projectiles during the storm.
If you do not have a written hurricane preparedness plan, one should be developed specifically for your condominium, which includes:
- Important phone numbers at Century Village, at your condominium and in the community;
- Pre-Hurricane Season checklist;
- Evacuation Procedures;
- Information and check list of steps to be taken during a Hurricane Watch and Hurricane Warning;
- Unit owner responsibilities before evacuating;
- Post Hurricane Damage Assessment checklist
Irene was a close call for our area. However, with proper advance planning your condominium and its residents can be prepared to survive the storm.

PBIA sees Power of the People
Good meeting! Commissioner Paulette Burdick and her aide Payton McArthur were there. Faced with 35 citizens, many presidents of entire developments, mayors, and commissioners, County Airports Director Bruce Pelly took away his suggestion to shut down the Citizens Committee on Airport Noise (CCAN) and removal of noise monitor equipment. CCAN is the only established forum which provides citizens with an opportunity to be advised of activities at PBIA and allow them to voice concerns. Two speakers reminded Mr Pelly that CCAN was put in place after a law suit by order of court judge, it cannot be tossed aside without further recourse to the law.
CCAN does need more communication, publicity, and to fill empty seats. I will get more info later for people who may wish to join. 9a.m. meeting!
CV is on the flight line and we do have noise monitors in our NW corner. Nighttime flights have been reduced over our space but we should be complacent.

Trouble at Hastings Again
Saturday, August 13, 2011
Can we get ac in card room at Hastings
Can we get ac in the card room at Hastings? I was there last night at 6 pm and it was fine. Then it went off around 8 pm and did not come back on. I went down stairs and told them about the problem, they came up stairs and said it was on which was total B.S. They had it on very nicely for themselves down stairs. The same thing was happening at the main club house, so now I believe that this is total B.S. It happens in both club houses? Come on give us a break !! I like to use the club houses as much as everyone but this is to much to sit there an sweat your brains out, while the people that are the guards and other workers down stairs have it very nice and cool for themselves. I hope something can be done about this problem by the powers that be. Please take care of this.

REFLECTION BAY DRO HEARING - VIDEO NOW LIVE IN CYBERSPACE
Hi all,
For those who could not attend the DRO hearing, follow the link to view the proceedings.
mms://pbcvideo.co.palm-beach.fl.us/pzb/DRO_081011.wmv
Remember, Reflection Bay is item number 20, also note the related item 21 "Southampton PUD". You may fast forward to 31 minutes and 10 seconds to item 20. The relevant cut ends circa 38:05.
Of some concern is the offhand comment circa 35:45 that "in perpetuity is off the table"! This definitely needs to be explored.

Property Tax Appeal
Noooo, they carefully explained to me that the reduction is only good for one year, then you must appeal again, What a waste of their and my time, and not logical or fair value either, but $$ for the county.
After Storm Recovery Evaluation
I have the CERT (Community Emergency Response Team) pink/red form for my Association review after a storm. What are the 6 phone numbers? I see UCO and the Reporter phones, but we do not usually have 6 options to call??
Thanks Jackie and CERT
