- Grading for new sidewalk will begin tomorrow.
-
- Date for installation of irrigation will be determined tomorrow, after onsite meeting with GC.
-
- FPL has confirmed installation of additional LED streetlights to be completed by 11/18.
-
- Platinum Security reports that CV residents continue to move traffic barriers to open up entrance to Borden Street, and they are also driving on the grass swales to access Century Boulevard. Tomorrow, I will ask our General Contractor to order additional temporary fence panels to block off this entrance. Fence panels will extend onto grass swales on either side of Borden Street entrance to deter these dingbats from creating unsafe work site conditions.

From today's (10/26/19) UCO Reporter (November 2019 issue)
Petition on Term Limits
“Proponents believe term limits will make it easier for new candidates to run.
Opponents do not want to keep experienced officers from running.”

On three counts – election slates, CV Bylaws, the Delegate Assembly - the first sentence is a questionable, if not mistaken, rationale for term limits.

First: Election Slates. Term limits or no term limits, elections for President and Vice-President have always been a game of musical chairs: more candidates than seats. The Delegates rescinded term limits in March, 2013. Our Village Blog has a search box allowing access to past UCO Reporters. In 2010 and 2012, elections with term limits had three candidates for President. Our last election, in 2018, without term limits, had, guess what, three candidates for President.

For the two Vice-President positions, term limits, 2010 and 2012, 5 and 3 candidates, respectively; 2016 and 2018, no term limits, 6 and 4. Ironically, without term limits, more Veep candidates ran than with! And there have been multiple candidates for corresponding secretary, recording secretary, and treasurer. Conclusion: the absence of term limits has not stopped multiple new candidates from contesting for positions.

Second, CV Bylaws already make candidacy easy. All a resident owner need do is say five words to the Election Committee: “I am running for office”. That's it. This brief declaration guarantees, along with all the other candidates – challenger or incumbent - your mug shot and resume in the Reporter, a seat at the Candidates' Forum, and your name on the ballot, alphabetically listed – not by seniority or service.

Third, UCO already has an efficient term limiter – or term lengthener: the Delegate Assembly. This group interacts with incumbents and challengers before, during, and after Assemblies, at forums and Town Halls, committee meetings, and office hours – twenty a week. Consequently, the delegates are able to assess, and vote for, the most competent contestant, be that person challenger or incumbent.

In summary, then, for Century Village, term limits are not only detrimental – keeping experienced members from running – but unnecessary: new members are always saying the five magic words that make them candidates.

Hello All- This morning, there was a weekly project progress meeting at UCO. Attendees were UCO VP Dom Guarnagia, UCO Property Manager Donald Foster, General Contractor Mark Trudell, Project Manager David Biggs, and Irrigation Manager Tony Giordano. 
-
- Project is proceeding ahead of schedule. Rough grading and material removal continued today.
-
- Whidden Surveyors will stake out new sidewalk on Monday.
-
- Seacrest will be cleared to begin installation of irrigation system some day next week. Irrigation installation plan was submitted to DKK Consulting for review. DKK submitted additional requirements to Seacrest, regarding installation of additional sleeves, backfill, and compaction. I will contact two underground boring vendors who worked on the Atlantic Broadband install, to see if directional boring will be a financially viable option for crossing under Century Boulevard in at least two spots. 
-
- There were traffic backups at West Drive today. Apparently, PBC Traffic will need to be contacted whenever these backups happen, and adjustments to traffic light will be made remotely.

Hello All- Here is daily update on Century Boulevard construction project:
-
- PBC Traffic Department made on-site observation of our Okeechobee Boulevard entrance. Five additional seconds were added to the green light interval at West Drive/Okee Blvd. This should alleviate the intermittent traffic backups at West Drive. PBC Traffic will continue to monitor this intersection and make adjustments as needed.
-
- DKK Consulting Project Manager David Biggs made inspection of construction site.
-
- General Contractor Mark Trudell, RKC Land Development, made inspection of construction site.
-
- All original sidewalk, from East Drive to Haverhill Road, has been removed. All trees were also removed. Remainder of this material will be removed from property tomorrow.
-
- Soil grading and sod removal is in progress.
-
- Additional directional signage and traffic barriers were added to construction area.
-
- Hinges and wheel were added to the gate at the temporary pedestrian entrance- this will make closing/opening of gate easier for Security.
