Goals

Improve aesthetics and functional deficiencies around the property.
Set a higher standard for the community to increase property values and to maintain them.
Encourage active participation and community leadership
Bring back our former community newsletter – both online and in print (for individuals who are not on the internet).
Improve the community website to make it more interactive with better content and full information to communicate with all owners and residents. Institute transparency and accessibility by introducing a community web application (app) for cell phone compatibility.
Maximize technology, guidance, and resources, checks and balances, to help organize board member activities and maintenance into an empowered proactive role vs. reactive role.
Enlist the return of organized and functional committees – we need community participation and it will help the board accomplish more
Hold meetings throughout the year and not just seasonally. Utilize technology, such as Zoom for our offsite owners to participate and for today’s Covid-19 concerns. We know that business cannot be accomplished without properly noticed and held meetings. Why are we only holding meetings during the winter months when this is a full time community?
Enlist a committee to review and present our documents for needed updates, changes in the law, reciprocated accountability, and clarity. A lot has changed in 40 + years and our documents and procedures are limited to lifestyles and needs from in the 1970s.
Research and introduce electronic voting. This is now legal and is covered in Florida Statute 718.128.
By way of majority membership vote, draft, introduce, and enforce a board member code of ethics – checks and balances. Include all board members in all decisions and empower them to actively participate in the oversight and upkeep of the community.
Organize and enlist online / Covid-19 compliant in-person community workshops, classes, and development.
Help promote or organize communication and a community watch that can work together with the town homes and the rest of Bay Crest. Provide viewing access to the surveillance cameras that we pay for.
Find ways to cut costs without sacrificing the upkeep of the community. Seek out untapped resources for us to make improvements.
Implement project management tools for maintenance, board members, and committee members to track progress and to have organization, accountability, and transparency.
Have fun and enjoy ourselves. Organize some fun events and activities (online or Covid compliant in-person) Life and work can be hard. Where you live, shouldn’t be!
