Forms

 Is there a website I can download UCO forms? Apparently, the ones we have from the past are no longer acceptable. The form I need is the CERTIFICATE OF APPROVAL- PURCHASE WITH OCCUPANCY

THANKS TO THE VOLUNTEERS

-
I would like to thank all our volunteers who worked the Food Trucks a while ago. We only had one ice cream truck come but from the standpoint of our volunteers who helped organize and set up I think they did a great job and should be thanked. Too bad we only had one ice cream truck show up. Again thank you to all our volunteers. You did a great job.

Ten-digit-dialing Coming to Area Code561


From the Federal Communications Commission (https://www.fcc.gov/consumers/guides/ten-digit-dialing)


NPAs* REQUIRED TO TRANSITION TO 10-DIGIT DIALING The following 82 area codes currently permit 7-digit dialing and also use 988 as a central office code. Providers operating in these NPAs must implement 10-digit dialing. Transitioning to 10-digit dialing involves both the technical work needed to implement mandatory 10-digit dialing as well as educating consumers about the transition:


Florida 321 (Brevard County only), 352, 561, 941


*(Number Planning Area/Number Plan Area/Numbering Plan Area), also known simply as an Area Code, is the three-digit number that identifies the telephone service region


Upcoming Transitions to Ten-Digit Dialing: Where and When?

There are 82 area codes in 35 states and one U.S. territory that currently use "988" as their local exchange and allow seven-digit dialing. A local exchange, also known as a central office code, is the first three numbers of a seven-digit telephone number. To prepare for implementation of a quick way to dial the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline – using only "988" to connect callers to the Lifeline – these area codes must transition to ten-digit dialing for all calls, including local calls.

The North American Numbering Plan Administrator has a list of the states and area codes that will be affected. You can check the list to find out if your area code is one that will be transitioning: https://nationalnanpa.com/transition_to_10_digit_dialing_for_988/docs/NPAsRequiredtoTransitionto10DD.pdf

If you have one of these area codes, beginning on October 24, 2021, you must dial ten digits (area code + telephone number) for all local calls. On and after this date, local calls dialed with only seven digits may not connect, and a recording will inform you that your call cannot be completed as dialed. You must hang up and dial again using the area code and the seven-digit number.

Ten-digit dialing for local calls has been enabled in these area codes since April 24, 2021, and you can begin dialing ten digits anytime, though seven-digit local calls will still be completed prior to October 24, 2021.

ARBITRATION WITH MANAGEMENT REGARDING RENT

 

Century Village and Benenson Partners: A 57 (of 99) Year Financial Entanglement

Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow


Yesterday: From 1968 to 1974, Century Village, Inc., the builder of Century Village, sold its 309 association properties but retained ownership of the recreational properties. Each original condo owner had to commit to a 99-year Long term Lease (expiring on Dec. 31st, 2068), paying (a) rent for the exclusive use and (b) assessment for the operations and maintenance, of these recreational properties. In 1999, the Millennium Amendment set the rent schedule and the expenses process until January 1, 2022 (about three months from now).


Today: Currently, owners pay a monthly (approximate average) rent of $90 plus an assessment of $45 = $135 month x 12 = $1620/year x 7854 units $12.7 million/yr. , about $8.5 million for usage and $4.3 million for operations and maintenance.


The conflict: The Benenson properties are currently appraised at $32.6 million. Century Village, represented by UCO, objects to paying not only 25% of the recreational properties' value ($8m rent/$32massessment = 25%) but also $4.3m to maintain the landlord's properties.


Unable to negotiate a financial agreement for the next decade, Century Village and Benenson Capital have entered into binding arbitration, as stipulated in the Millennium Agreement. Three arbitrators have been appointed, and will proceed as shown in the timetable below: (dates in bold)


Tomorrow: The Timeline for current arbitration.:

1.The parties shall each file and serve a position statement of claim by no later than Thursday, September 30, 2021. (Already filed and served)

2. A pre-arbitration site inspection that will occur on Wednesday, October 20, 2021, beginning at 11:00 a.m.

3. This proceeding is set for a three (3) day final arbitration evidentiary hearing on Tuesday, November 2, 2021, through and including Thursday, November 4, 2021, commencing each day at 9:00 a.m. and continuing until 5:00 p.m. or some other time as

designated by the Arbitrators. The length of time currently estimated for the final hearing is three (3) full days 1 The final hearing shall take place at the offices of Jones Foster at 505 South Flagler Drive, Suite 1100, West Palm Beach, FL 33401.

3.At the conclusion of the final hearing, each party shall electronically serve a proposed final award in word format, after which the final hearing on the merits shall be deemed closed. This deadline may be extended by up to two (2) days at the discretion of the Arbitrators if requested.

4. The Arbitrators shall issue a reasoned award with regard to the merits of this proceeding.

5. The Lessor shall notify by mail each Condominium Association and publish in a newspaper of wide circulation the results of the arbitration within fifteen (15) days from receipt of the conclusions of the arbitration panel.


So by the end of November, the lessor (them) and lessee (us) should know the next decade's recreational lease arrangements. Each party can go to court, but absent outright chicanery, that decision would probably be both expensive and futile.
