14 to identify existing drywall damage, stains, etc. prior to starting work.

This is a safety issue for workers and owners as well as to prevent damage to vehicles. Additionally, it will avoid vehicles being blocked in by construction equipment and personnel. • It is suggested owners move their vehicles to another area of the property until the work
on their building is completed. Consequently, parking restrictions will be relaxed during the construction period and parking on the street will be allowed in these instances. • The pool will be closed during tear off and replacement of the clubhouse roof.

BLUEWATER COACH HOMES BUILDING & GROUNDS UPDATE
Several residents have voiced concerns about the status of the buildings and grounds in our
community. The Board of Directors is working diligently with our vendors and contractors
to complete the needed repairs, but many of these items are dependent on the completion
of other work.
As you are aware, the board was successful at winning our lawsuit against our insurance
company and we now have the funds needed to complete the repairs. The board has chosen
a roofing company, selected tiles, and has sent the roofing contract for a legal review.
We anticipate the roof replacements to start this fall. The gutters and fascia will be
addressed as part of the roof replacement, but as previously communicated if you have open
fascia areas that need to be closed, please complete the attached work request form.

The board is currently working to secure limited power washing for the community. The focus
of the work will be on areas that are slick and are a safety concern, community wide power
washing will be scheduled after the roofs have been completed as we expect the construction
vehicles to make quite a mess.

Solutions to the staining at the bottom of the pool are being investigated. These solutions
include chemical treatments as well as the draining and resurfacing of the pool bottom.
Resurfacing work cannot be done this time of year when the water table is high. It has
been shared that the patio furniture is in need of cleaning, the board is contacting our
clubhouse janitorial services and our handyman to resolve this issue and to get this work
scheduled on a regular basis.

Recently it was shared that the entry door from the pool to the restrooms was not functioning.
A board member investigated the issue and determined that a new battery was needed in the
lock. The door is now functional.

The gym equipment maintenance contract has been reestablished; this is one of the many
vendors that was impacted by the unsatisfactory performance of our current property
management company. Repairs to the equipment have been made and at this time the board is
not aware of any required repairs. If you find that a repair is needed, please complete
/ submit the attached work request form.
The board appreciates the community’s patience as we work through these issues. We ask you
to recognize that we are all volunteers doing our best to serve our community. There are
challenges beyond the board’s control including vendors who will not bid on work in a small
community such as ours, our responsibility to work within our budget, and the required
sequence of the scheduling of the required work.
We have included a Work Request Form and request that you use this to communicate with the
board to ensure that we capture the information correctly.
Bluewater Coach Homes Board of Directors.

Blue Water Coach Homes Condominium Association Board of Directors Minutes July 25, 2024

Call To Order - President Pam Austin called the meeting to order at 3:30PM and a quorum was established. Attendance Board Member in Attendance: President – Pam Austin, Vice President – Daniel Porter Secretary – Cathy Vache, Director – Linda Jordan Appointment of Treasurer Linda Jordan was appointed Treasurer as Susan Lewis resigned the position because they sold their unit. Board Vacancy President, Pam Austin announced there is a Board Vacancy and asked for owners wo are interested in serving to contact a board member. May Financials Sandcastle has not forwarded June financials. Treasurer, Linda Jordan noted that the association is over budget by $40,000 due to expenses associated with the new lift station, fire equipment repairs and cable expenses. She is looking into these areas. Insurance Settlement and Assessment Rebate President, Pam Austin reported that the Insurance settlement proceeds are in accounts recently established accounts with Wintrust Wealth Management based in Naples, Fl. The proceeds are deposited in 30, 60, 90 day, 6 month and 12month T-Bills, which allows the board the liquidity to move money as needed in the short term to cover hurricane damage expenses. Wintrust will be establishing an office in Cape Coral this fall. The accounts that were still open at Truist Bank from our previous property management company, American Condo, have been closed, and those funds have been moved new money market accounts at Barrington Bank and Trust (the banking side of Wintrust). Our banker also recommended moving all of our reserve funds and any overage in operating funds at Sandcastle to the new money market accounts to keep them under the association’s sole control. The association’s attorney advised the board to refund the hurricane assessment since we received enough money from the insurance proceeds and our reserves to cover the cost of new roofs and windows. Florida law dictates that insurance proceeds must be, payed to the owner of record; i.e. the current owner. If there is an owner of a unit with a pending sale, the seller is advised to with include an addendum to their closing agreement that if there is a refund of hurricane assessment it will be payable to the seller. Assessment Rebates will not occur until the new property management company takes over in September. ROOFS and WINDOWS Vice President, Daniel Porter reported that 3 Contractors were contacted and invited to send proposals to Blue Water to replace Hurricane damaged roofs, fascia, gutters and downspouts. The companies interviewed were Magna, Colonial Roofing and Elias Brothers. After reviewing the respective proposals, Elias Brothers was the first choice. They were the only company to present an alternative solution to the roof run off. They have been responsive in the interim, doing patches and roof repairs. They have committed to continuing to address any leaks that may arise prior to the start of the project. They were also the lowest bidder by $90,000. They have indicated that it will take two months to get our tile, which will be the same as what we have, and four to five months to complete the job. Cathy Vache made a motion to contract with Elias Brothers; Linda Jordan seconded and all were in favor. Window contractors will now be invited to submit proposals for replacement windows on all the buildings and the clubhouse. Interviews will take place following those submissions. We will be asking for bids on regular double pane tinted windows with argon gas and for hurricane impact windows in the event an owner wants to pay to upgrade. We will also ask for the replacement cost of the large slider windows anticipating better pricing if owners want to pay to replace them at the time the other windows are installed. Windows will begin after the roofs are finished. MULCH Mulching which is usually done in the fall was discussed. Use of rubber mulch and looking into the use of stones also discussed. Based on the onset of rainy season and the construction that will be taking place, a motion was made to defer mulching until after the roofs and windows are replaced. The motion was made by Cathy Vache, seconded by Daniel Porter and all were in favor. Compliance Committee Treasurer, Linda Jordan presented an outline for the committee structure and responsibilities. Linda Jordan made a motion to adopt the Compliance Committee resolution, Cathy Vache seconded and all were in favor. The committee will be made up of three residents who are not directors or employees of the association nor spouse, parent, child or relative of the same as previously noted. Management Company President, Pam Austin presented information in regards to the search for a new property management company. SAK and Associates Property Management and Paragon Financial Services of Florida were very responsive and most closely fit our association needs. SAK handles the property management side and Paragon Accounting handles all the financial duties. Both owners have CAM licenses and SAK also has a realtor’s license and will do our estoppels. Daniel Porter made a motion to contract with SAK and Paragon, Cathy Vache seconded and all were in favor. The change in companies will occur September 1st. Owners will receive additional information soon. Member Comments The 2024 Legislative changes affecting Florida Homeowner Associatons was mentioned. Welcome to New Owners: Alec Davis and Trudy – Unit 501 Denise & Mike Happer- Unit 1201

More good news, we have received our settlement check; This check represents our final payment after attorney, and adjuster's fees along with other related expenses. Also, a reminder that our next regular quarterly association meeting will be held on Thursday July 25th at 3:30 PM at the clubhouse or by joining the meeting via Zoom. The board will go over the details of the settlement and discuss estimated costs and timelines for the replacement of our roofs and windows. It's been a long road for all of us, with much frustration and tensions, but we can now look forward to returning Blue Water to its former stunning self with added improvements. Wishing all of you a happy 4th of July Holiday! Best Regards, Pam Austin, President for the Blue Water Board of Directors

Dear Owners, At our Annual meeting April 18th, we discussed grading and landscaping to our seawall to prevent further erosion of areas that are compromised by current run off from the buildings. This is not a repair for the damaged portion of seawall caused by Ian, although that area would be graded as well. Attached is an informational paper Tom Santelle, a mechanical engineer and owner of unit 603 prepared for the board's consideration. We said at the meeting that we would obtain an estimate and scope of work from our current landscaping company, which has already been requested, since we would like to move forward on this project before rainy season begins. Please feel free to share comments or questions with board member Daniel Porter Daniel Porter. Regards, Pam Austin, President for the board
