The board has heard from the engineers at Coast and Harbor Engineering about our breakwater and channel problems. At this point they recommend reinforcing the area between the concrete jetties and the shoreguard. They also recommend increasing the height of the concrete jetties. This should reduce the amount of sedimentation in the channel. The board will consult with Phase II and Sea Shell Shores to determine the next step to take.
We have been dealing with a rash of plumbing leaks in remodeled units. The leaks I know of have been in condos 701, 707, 210, 306, and 308. All leaks of this type are an owner expense. Just a few months ago units 206 and 705 had plumbing problems too. Thursday evening the HOA had our own plumbing problem as we had a bad sewer backup between 108 and 201. This seems to be the location of most blockages. Larry Rabe came and out and got it open in about an hour.
Our board will meet by teleconference next week to select our insurance carrier for next year. Owners will be billed as soon as the premium is determined.
This is my twentieth summer here and the crowds have never been bigger, but this year has had more than its share of craziness. Last weekend there was a fire in Phase II 321. Last night security called me at 11pm to say a guest in the pool area was out of control. Law enforcement was called, but when they arrived the person had retreated to the condo and without a search warrant, the officer could not get him to come out. This morning I went out to check my perch trap just in time to see a kid walking off with it. He said he found it on the bottom. Like where else would you find a perch trap. Three times this week I have had my bait bucket emptied. So far tonight all has been quiet.
The first weekend of August my family rented a condo at Port A for a getaway. We will probably not rent another place managed by Starkey Rentals. They charged $64 for insurance for broken things and it was not optional. They charged us $150 for a cleaning fee. They charged $144 for travel insurance since they require full payment 30 days before the reservation and there is no refund. Should an evacuation be required because of a storm this insurance will cover the refund. The place was not in good shape because they said the owner was trying to sell it and did not want to do any repairs. We didn't see any vectors, but we saw their droppings.
Scott had a pretty good day today at Jaybird Reef. They caught ten keeper trout on DOA lures.
