Weir Project behind Foxwood has finally been completed. The total expense of this repair was $78,000. There is currently a collapse of another weir, but that one is not very large, about 8-10’ and it is on Trinity Blvd. Due to the excessive water level, the repair cannot be accurately evaluated until the water level recedes. This will be monitored and an estimate for the repair will be forthcoming. There are approximately 30 weirs within the TCMA, and they are all monitored by Southwest Florida Water Management (SWFWMD).

Trinity community park – metal trash cans will be purchased and some minor stucco and paint repair will be done. The board has been requested to research some options to provide areas of shade.

 

The landscape contract for the entire TCMA was put out to bid by the consulting firm, OLM. Four (4) bids were obtained. The companies that were considered were: Redtree Landscaping, Nature’s Coast Landscape Services, Fieldstone Landscape Services and Yellowstone Landscape. After a complete review, the board of directors selected Nature’s Coast Landscape Services as the new landscape vendor providing the contract is reviewed by legal counsel and satisfies all requirements. Therefore, a start date has not yet been determined, but as soon as that date becomes available, it will be posted on the website.

 

The quality of Gardaworld security services was discussed. The board members were notified of a change in a few services that had been offered by the previous company, Critical Intervention Services (CIS), which was acquired by Gardaworld. The board members have now been informed that their guards will not respond to a “call for services,” engage with an intruder, or parking violations. The company also has insisted that all neighborhood associations must have the same set of rules to enforce, an “all or nothing” principle. The general consensus of the board was that these changes render Gardaworld’s service as inferior. The board will be reviewing services by other companies and will revisit this topic after the research has been done. Parking on the street is prohibited in the TCMA community in accordance with county regulations. Several communities have instituted a ‘tow policy’ in an effort to handle homeowners who abuse parking restrictions. This is an option for all communities. The streets need to remain clear for all emergency vehicles and service vehicles.
