The HOA will be looking at options for next steps. Please attend the monthly board meetings for updates.

Your help is needed to support the passage or important legislation awaiting the governor’s signature or veto. We are requesting that owners get involved by writing letters to the Governer now urging him to sign the bill.  Please read this letter from the board, and consider a letter (a sample letter is included) or email to [email protected] and clicking this link http://www.flgov.com/contact-gov-scott/email%20the%20governor and asking Governor Scott to sign Bill 653.

While the attached letter has more details, Bill 653 http://www.flsenate.gov/Session/Bill/2017/653 would allow condo associations in the state to opt out of making expensive retrofits for sprinklers and ELSS (engineered Life Safety Systems).

Please read the letter and get your message out now!
