• Website Update

As mentioned in the last newsletter, our exit gate was severely damaged by a delivery person in the early morning hours of early March. An effort was ongoing to recover damages from this person. However, the effort was unsuccessful so the Association will have to absorb a repair cost of nearly $8,000. During the latter part of June several thunderstorms and lightning strikes on

and around the Key Royal grounds caused damage to the entry gate keypad. The Board moved forward with repairs in late August and the exit gate was removed to begin repair work and the gate is expected to be reinstalled prior to Oct 3rd if all goes according to the gate company plans. The new exit gate configuration will open in two

parts and should reduce the amount of stress on the gate motors. This should result in an overall reduction on the number of gate repairs that have occurred in the past. The entry gate keypad is expected to be repaired when the exit gate is returned and reinstalled.

Membership Vote to increase Board size On June 25, 2008 the Board of Directors passed a motion proceeding with an effort to increase the size of the Board from the current three members to a new size totaling five members. The Association Attorney

has drafted the necessary amendment to bring the matter before the owners to vote on the issue. The voting materials, including the suggested amendment language, will be mailed out to owners in the coming months.

Since this is amending the underlying Declaration of Condominium, it takes votes of 66⅔% or greater in favor to pass (180 votes). If adopted, the new Board size will take effect at the next Annual Meeting in March 2009.
