BOARD OF DIRECTORS MEETING 
8 March 2018 Minutes 
1. Call to Order/Roll Call:
The meeting was called to order by President Marcel Turner at 6:00 P.M., 8 March 2018,
in the Driftwood Sands Multipurpose Recreation Room located at 2618 Gulf Boulevard, 
Indian Rocks Beach, Florida.
Board members in attendance: Marcel Turner, President; Jack Berlin, Vice President;
Rod Brenton, Treasurer; Bruce Kula, Secretary; and Jeff Tomes, Director.  Also in 
attendance were Denise Fischer (Resource Property Management), Joan Duffy (205), 
Patti Godstedt (504), George Lind (302), and Barb Ulrich (109)
2. Proof of Notice of the Meeting: 
Marcel attested that notice for this meeting was posted on the condominium premises 
by order of the Board of Directors in compliance with Florida Statutes. 
3. Approval of Minutes for previous Board Meeting: 
The Minutes of the 18 January 2018 Board of Directors meeting were approved by Jack, 
seconded by Bruce, and passed 50.
4. Officers' Reports: 
Report from President Marcel Turner:
 The Bank of the Ozarks CD will be due soon and options to keep in place or 
move will be discussed.
 The Association's financials are looking solid and again, no delinguencies.  With 
our website up and running our communication efforts are improving and once  
the web conference can be established, we can hold meetings from anywhere.  
 Marcel is thankful for the support of the Board and all residents as everyone 
pitches in to help.
5. Committee Reports: None
6. Unfinished Business
6A - Security 
 Setup of security cameras proceeds. The camera at the west end of the building 
and most distant from the router is not functional at this time.  Both Jack and 
Arnie will look at options to get it up and running
 Accurate Electronics cannot find the electric door strike needed to repair the 
front lobby entry door. The Board and RPM will research an alternative system.
 Entry keys (for lobbies and stairwells) will no longer be reproducible. Unit 
owners who require more than two keys must purchase them. A letter explaining
the process and reason for the change will be mailed three months before the 
door locks are changed. A motion by Jack, seconded by Rod, passed 50
6B - Shared Fencing
A check for $615 was received from our neighbor Anglers Paradise Condo Association 
for repairs to a joint section of our south fence.
6C - Fire Protection Upgrades
SimplexGrinnell submitted a bid for a replacement fire system. Rod will review it when 
he returns in late March.  Director Tomes suggested obtaining competitive bids.  Board 
concurred and RPM will do so.
6D - Maintenance
 Maintenance Manager Arnie Kraemer has two bids for rolling steel sheet doors 
to replace those on the trash rooms.  DG Doors was the lowest price and Marcel 
moved to accept the bid of $1.898.00.  Rod seconded.  All in favor, motion 
passed.
 Many repairs prompted by Hurricane Irma are completed. In progress is the 
gazebo soffit; next is the west fence.

It isn't practical for Arnie to install entry doors single-handedly. Jack moved that 
entry doors (installed as required) and unit doors (installed at a rate of three per 
year) be installed by CR Doors. CR Doors is Arnie's preference and the low 
bidder. This was seconded by Bruce and passed 50.
 Repairs to the four balconies deemed by the engineer we hired to be most in 
need of them (407, 506, 302, 209) will be made before the rainy season, which the 
Board deems to mean mid-April.
6E - Elevator Modernization
Marcel moved that we get three bids for elevator modernization, including a new fire 
system, with the fire system to be installed first. This was seconded by Jeff and passed 
50.
6F - Sliding Glass Doors
Sliders have been ordered for the 08 stack. There is a six week backlog, subject to 
weather. Owners will have the option of paying in a lump sum or in three equal 
installments: before installation commencement; upon installation commencement; and 
upon job completion.
New Business
1 - Association Website
Discussion of this subject was tabled as improvements continue.
The next meeting of the Board of Directors is scheduled for April 26, 2018, at 6:00 P.M.
Adjournment
A motion by Bruce for adjournment at 8:15 P.M., seconded by Marcel, carried 50.
