Board Update #
150 [2006/08/24]
The SCHH Board of Directors held their September Board workshop on September 14, 2006. In addition to the Board members Mark Taylor, Division President and the senior Pulte executive at Sun City Hilton Head, was present.
Al Reuben was asked to begin negotiations with Hargray Communications regarding possible incentives that Hargray could offer the residents of Sun City to compete for the Sun City Hilton Head cable TV business. He will have a similar conversation with Davidson Cable. Pulte will send out an RFP to Davidson Cable and Hargray Communications for “Marketing Rights.” This would effectively create a preferred vendor status for the successful bidder, yet allow both companies to operate within the community.
It was decided to proceed with preparing a contract for Thomas & Hutton Engineering Company to assist in the preparation of a storm water refund application. This will be an October Board meeting agenda item.
A bid was received for Millennium Bridge flood insurance. A UWC will be prepared to obtain this coverage.
The current 25% limit on additions to current homes prohibits residents from building pools with adequate decking. The Modification Committee will be asked to prepare a recommendation that would allow a reasonable sized pool with decking.
The Association’s attorney will be requested to draft a policy for applying a transfer fee of 1/3 of 1% to all resales not included in the current policy. Those not included in the existing policy will be grandfathered so as to avoid the fee upon the next sale of the property. Over time this will place all resales in the community on an equal footing.
The proposed changes to violation fees were discussed. They will be presented to the community as part of the next revision to the Community Rules.
The Resident Board Members continue to work with the developer to resolve the parking and traffic issues at Hidden Cyprus. Hopefully, both issues will be resolved shortly.
It was announced that Jon Cherry would remain on the Board temporarily and that Mark Taylor would fill the vacancy caused by Richard Espinoza leaving Pulte.
It was agreed that Pulte would no longer rent homes for contractors in violation of community policy.
The removal of portions of the Riverbend perimeter fence was discussed. It was decided additional information was required before any determination as to responsibility could be taken.
The SCHH Strategic Plan developed by the Strategic Planning Committee was reviewed and its acceptance will be an agenda item at the October Board meeting. The Board acknowledged the Committee’s excellent work.
A discussion of the quality of service and food at the Sun City restaurants was held. Additional information will be sought and restaurant management will be advised of the dissatisfaction of some residents.
A preliminary agenda for the 2006 Town Meeting was established. Current plans for the agenda include: Voting by the Neighborhood Representatives on tax treatment of the annual surplus, budget approval, an update of the developer’s plans by a Pulte executive, an update of the amenity plan and a Q & A session. This agenda will be revisited during the October Board workshop.
The Modifications Committee has been asked to write a policy regarding tree replacement on resident’s property.
The developer was asked to prepare a recommendation regarding advertisements at the new ball field.
A discussion of the feral pig problem took place. It was determined a wild life professional would be contacted to help the Board determine the Community Association’s liability regarding hunting the pigs and other options that might be available.
The Board will seek a legal opinion regarding the community association’s requirement to allow school busses in the community. The Board will then take action as appropriate.
The next Board meeting will take place October 26, 2006.
