D&EIt’s that “Mixed Emotions” time of year – Excited about seeing our family and friends back in our Summer Homes (especially those grandkids!), yet hating the thought of leaving our dear winter friends here in LIV. And, of course, we’re already thinking about coming back again next year. You know that old saying “You can’t have everything”? It’s wrong. We do.

It’s been another wonderful season thanks to some very devoted hardworking fun-lov-ing people known as your Winter Texan D & E Committee. Please hold your applause till I have named them all.

Barbara Armstrong, Dotty Arntzen, Darlene Collins, Pat Diebold, Lily Givan, Flora Gunderson, Karen Pelletier, and Wanda Robertson. Would you ladies please stand and take a bow?

Next is our oh-so-important support group who we could not do without:

Larry Armstrong, Joe Givan, Gundy Gunderson, Don Pelletier, Dick Olson, John & Judy Agar, Marty and Jackie Pauken, Jim & Helen Brunard, Bud & Maryann Kruszka, and Mary Ellen Koehler. Our hats are off to all of you (especially those crazy ladder climbing guys)!

Two ladies that deserve huge hugs are our co-chairs. We have had a lot of good feed-back on the entertainment this year thanks to Annita White. She is always on the look out for some new fun entertainers, so if you have any good tips, please let her know. Great job, Annita! (Annita is also putting together a fun Summer D & E schedule, so watch for it!)

And then there’s Joan Olson. Joanie, Joanie, Joanie – What would we do without you? She is like the energizer bunny who keeps us all on our toes so we get the job done. And she does it with a never-ending smile. Who can say “no” to a smiling bunny????? Terrific job, Joan, as always!

For you “”Full Timers”, have a wonderful summer in paradise. For you Winter Texans, have safe travels and enjoy your family and friends. It won’t be long before we’re all back together again. Time flies when you’re having fun!

Pat Diebold Winter Texas D & E Committee

MANAGERS REPORT – by Rick Horner GM Horner presented his monthly reports and updates.• Work Orders- 103 issued; 21 pending. GM Horner stated that the delay in completing all of the work orders was due to emergency repair projects. He assured owners that all their work orders would be addressed.• Building Permits - 4 issued; 2 con-crete; 1 re-roof; 1 boatlift• Past Due Condo Fees – (4) 16-30 days late ($801.00); (8) 31- 60 days late ($2,380.00); (2) 61-90 days late – Going to legal ($1,105.00); (8) 90 days late – in legal ($24,799.00). GM Horner reported that it was a pretty good month for condo fee collections. GM Horner informed the audience that three of the eight properties that are included in the 90 day group have been foreclosed on and are coming back to LIVOA, therefore the dollar amount is a little skewed as at least $10,000 of the $24,799 are for the three prop-erties. Past due condo fees last month totaled $41,761.00. Current past due condo fees total $29,085.00. Past due Condo fees reduced by -$12,676 .00. • Dredging Report – GM Horner re-ported that the USACE has reviewed LIVOA’s application and stated that everything looks good. He went on to state that he is waiting on Chris Freeland to get back with him on a specific site to dump the silt. GM Horner informed the audience that the Corp. had initially requested an aerial map with 4 pos-sible sites to dump the silt which was sent in. They have now come back and said that a specific site must be selected and a new map detailing the site as well as a letter from Chris Freeland authorizing LIVOA to put the silt on their property is needed. GM Horner also mentioned that he will request that the main-tenance permit include both hydraulic and mechanical dredging. He then announced that he had met with Rodriguez Brothers Dredg-ing for the third time and is meeting again with them today to get a better estimate of the project cost. GM Horner explained to the audience that Rodriguez Brothers does me-chanical dredging which is significantly lower in cost than hydraulic dredging and since they are currently working on SPI there will also be significant savings on the transporta-tion of equipment. The length of the project is estimated to take about 1 week. GM Horner added that if any owner wanted to dredge un-der their boat slips, Rodriguez Brothers would offer the service but the owner would have to contract with them directly.
