Following is a summary of the meeting, written by resident and Webmaster Diane Tomasik.

New committees

A Welcoming Committee was formed, to be led by resident Cherie Legein. Appointments to the Design Review Development Committee, led by resident Phil Jacobus, were made.

No Outlet sign

The Board is going to look into how much it would cost to put a "no outlet" sign up on Captiva Court. A resident requested the sign be placed at the street entrance to discourage traffic that thinks the road is a short-cut.

Garage sale signs 

A question was raised about whether residents can place garage sale signs on the easement on 714. The Board ruled that because the Homeowners Association maintains that area, garage sale signs -- or any kind of sign -- cannot be placed there. HOA restrictions bar any kind of sign on HOA common property. (Please see the Rules and Regulations section for more information.)

New property manager sought 

Connie Robinson noted that she will no longer be the property manager for Islesworth, effective Dec. 31. The Board said it is interviewing replacements. Connie has handled Islesworth matters since June 15, 2002, when Applied Concepts of Martin County took over management of the HOA.

The Board reminded attendees that the next meeting -- Jan. 27, 2003 -- would be the annual organizational meeting during which residents will elect the Board members for the coming year.
