UNFINISHED BUSINESS:
President Schnelwar gave a summary of where we currently are at. First news is that the first bank would not lend us the money. The second bank is asking for a down payment instead of funding the whole amount. We may be required to provide some form of a down payment in addition to funding the rest. The original amount we were requesting is about two million dollars and the bank would like to fund maybe a million and at best one and one half million which would require homeowners to come up with a down payment. President reported that Letter from homeowner Marie Cuillerier was correct that the roofing amendments required that Board hire a roofing consultant to inspect the roofs. President Schnelwar stated that he has engaged a roofing consultant, and they will be here on Monday, and we should have results on Tuesday. Everything is now on hold until we get a report from the consultant. We have completed interviews with the roofing companies. We have received bids of roughly $9,525 per homeowner. If we get financing, it could be $110 per month per homeowner. The President asked everyone to wait till he was finished before they ask any questions. There are 22 homes with skylights. They will need to be replaced at homeowners’ expense at a cost of $1,000 each. Leaders and gutters are not included in the bid. The number of plywood sheets is included in the bids. Bids have been narrowed down to 3 companies. Two of the companies have been in business for 5 years and the third in business for 10 plus years. All companies guarantee installation for 10 years. All bidding companies have good references. We Probably will need another special meeting on Dec 30th or at the regular meeting in January. Question from 14556 Candy Way on size of roofs. Residents feel we should get more bids. Residents were asked to give their names and address when asking a question. Therefore, their questions are not in these minutes. President Schnelwar stated that all bidders received the same set of specifications, so they all were bidding on the same installation. Question from resident at 5796 Doris Ct. Looking for more information in order to respond to the letter sent to all residents. All houses will be done by the same contractor. President Alan stated that we have a commitment that the project will be completed within 3 months. The letter that was sent was only a survey to get an approximation of how many residents were going to pay in full and how many residents were going to finance the payment. Can a copy of the roofing specifications be given to each homeowner. The answer was yes. Question from resident David Schaffer at 14530 Lucy Dr. Can the sending of the specifications be delayed due to the holidays. Response was the letter can be amended to delay the time of response to the letter.

Question from resident at 14615 Candy Way. Shouldn’t all the roofs be inspected by the consultant and not just a few. The President responded that if we get every roof inspected the cost would be $13,000. Are the roofing company’s local? Yes, they are within south Florida. Residential discussions followed as to various roof life per residents. Conflict with the same insurance carrier giving different times of estimated roof life. Further discussion was terminated due to shouting among the residents.
Marie Cuillerier 14710 Lucy Dr. reported that insurance companies will only take advice from a state licensed inspector. Who are we getting as a state licensed inspector? Plat 3 has hired Jack Brown and Associates to conduct the inspections. Marie’s partner who has been licensed since 2006 explained the process of roof inspections.
New Item under Unfinished Business Landscaping. Director Barbara Quinto reported that she has met with Norgen Landscape regarding missed cuts and Norgen has agreed to give us credit for missed cuts for things that we need such as entry flowers, possibly an additional fertilization and sod which is $425 a pallet. As far as the road buttons on Connie Blvd. and Edna Way are concerned, those funds could be used elsewhere. There were no board objections to not painting the road buttons.
Linda Marmor spoke on obtaining bids for Landscaping. Linda said that only one vendor has responded. Landscaping Companies are having staffing problems. Barbara Quinto reported on negotiations with Norgen that moving forward we will have $ 6,000 credit with Norgen Landscape.
Back to roofs question asked as to amount of $110 each homeowner will pay monthly to the HOA on a quarterly basis. A resident asked how are we going to get this to happen. This would be done by assessment. The resident questioned the amendments.
Election of Officers. Secretary Bob Albertson reported that this is the Annual HOA Meeting and according to our HOA documents a quorum of residents is required to conduct elections. Secretary Albertson stated that our legal counsel has advised that if the necessary quorum is not in attendance those nominated candidates will remain in place. Accordingly, there was a motion by Director Barry Schwartz and second by Director Barbara Quinto that one ballot be cast electing Robert Albertson, Paula Beberman and Richard Chrzan to the Delray Villas Plat 3 HOA Board and Joann Albertson is elected a the Plat 3 representative to the Delray Villas Recreation Association. All terms will expire on December 31, 2027.

2025 Plat 3 Budget
President Schnelwar went over the proposed Budget line by line. With all being said, the quarterly maintenance payment will be $680 per quarter per homeowner. A copy of the proposed budget is attached to these minutes.
Each home will receive the maintenance invoice by email. Currently we have 3 residents who don’t have email, and they will be mailed the invoice. ACH payments should also continue.
NEW BUISINESS: Resident Marie Cuillerier asked a question having to do with amendments. The amendments of June 2022 that were passed cannot be found on the Plat 3 website. The results of the passing of the amendments were announced at the Jan 9, 2023, meeting. These results should be published on the website. The January 20, 2023, amendments are on the website. Marie claims she never got notice of the meeting. Where are the minutes of the meeting where a meeting was scheduled. President Alan asked Marie what minutes are being requested. Marie was asked to look at the 2022 minutes and then come back with your question. President Alan stated that we have never done amendments without homeowner approval. Marie stated that the minutes will verify if the board did publicly announce a meeting. President Schnelwar asked Marie what she thinks we should do. President Schnelwar said he would look into it.
