7) New Business

  • Address providing a secure website for Lake Winterwood (Resident to present concern):  Tony A. has experience as an IT Manager and voiced his concern with lakewinterwood.org site not being secure.  Typically, the industry standard for all sites to be HTTPS. a secure (SSL) certificate is in place.  This keeps intruders from potentially exploiting the site.  It should not be hard to fix as a single certificate is not expensive.  Michael L. and Chris Mc. have IT experience as well.  Board proposed coordinating a Zoom call with Michael Leighty, MyHOAWebsite Administrator, to discuss possible solutions.  Amanda M. to schedule Zoom call with Eydie and Michael Leighty.
  • Address concerns RV storage rules (Resident to present concern): Dwight M. presented his concern with enforcement of RV storage and storage period rules as stated in the Restricted Covenants and Supplement to Protective Covenants and Architectural Guidelines Handbook.  He requested that the Board review and consider rewording the storage period from seven days before and after to a maximum of three calendar days.  Dwight stated he based his recommendation on conversation with former Real Estate Agent who shared view that the typical HOA restricts storage period to two to 3 days.
  • Review/update Supplement to the Protective Covenants and Architectural Guidelines Handbook (last update September 2004) Board members to review and give input by next meeting in July.  Amanda M. suggested we add the latest guidelines on flag poles.
