1. Call to order and adoption of the Agenda having occurred the President then asked for approval and waiving the reading of the minutes of April 24, 2008. Sara Clark moved the minutes be accepted as written and that the reading of them be waived. Michelle Austin 2^nd the motion. Motion passed.

Each month after January 31, of each year a $10.00 late fee is charged. If no response to the third notice within two weeks after receipt of notice legal action is implemented.

3. Operations Report:

a. Walkover: Review estimates for replacement. The President in exploring this acquired an informal proposal of replacement. The walkover is eighteen years in existence and was expected to last fifteen years. The informal bid for 108 linear feet by five- foot width new walkover, including removal of the present one is $12,895.00. (the removal is $2,500.00). From the floor Harold Clark pointed out the product called Trex and that it is very expensive but, it would be wise to use Trex for posts. Paul Zacharias mentioned that seventy old boards were removed and replaced with new ones. The President advised that he will do further inquiry.

b. Dry Pond Status: Michelle Austin informed that bringing the dry pond into compliance is a complex issue, in that, we need a contractor to dig it, a surveyor to survey it, a builder to build in-lets and out lets, and a coordinator with the county to be sure we are doing things right. She recommends that we contact & hire a civil engineer to coordinate and oversee the project. Many questions and comments were made both from board members and association members in attendance. The President determined that the Dry Pond committee has the discretion to act as necessary on the matter and the board anticipates their full report.

4. C & R COMPLIANCE

a. Sara advised that, of the three non-compliances to the covenants reports that she received, two are now in compliance. The third is being pursued. She also made clear about going on someone’s property to cut the grass or other matter in violation of the covenants. The Association has the right to go on a property; however, at the same time the owner can sue the person coming on the property, but not the association. Thus, a catch 22 situation.

b. Sara also brought up that there is only one person presently on the Fining Committee, and that is Frank Carelli. The President asked for volunteers, seeking two more members. None were forthcoming. He will seek to recruit from other members of the Association.

5. 2009 Budget Items: The President discussed the Dry Pond Situation and the Walkover costs. These two matters to be addressed at the next meeting after research produces more on costs for achieving these goals.

6. OLD BUSINESS

a. In regards to the $42,000.00 Bond for road repair. Bob Hamby learned that the money is custody of the Clerk of Court. The major problem is how to get it released and to whom. Further research is being conducted.

b. He announced that, Thursday the 14^th of August the Hammock Communities will be meeting with the ombudsman of St. John’s County Water District to discuss drainage in the Hammock. The meeting will begin at 7:00PM at the Hammock Community Center on Malacompra Rd.

7. ADJOURNMENT: Sara Clark moved that the meeting be adjourned. Michelle Austin 2^nd. Meeting adjourned at 5:45PM
