Palm
Island Estates
Homeowners Association
Board Meeting
February 2, 2009
Firehouse
Attending: Board
Members Don Milroy, Pat
Gordon, Pat Bieneman,
Rose Malone, Ken Conner,
Kim Peacock, Jackie
York, Robin Madden, and
Jack MacArthur.
Don called the meeting
to order at 5:02 pm.
January minutes for the
annual meeting were
accepted after 3
spelling corrections
were noted, and minutes
for the January board
meeting were accepted.
There was no Treasurer’s
report.
Old Business. Don
reviewed the status of
the 4 carryover projects
from 2008.
-
House
numbering. Don will
ask Carol to continue
with this project.
-
Water
Outage Notification.
Don will again try to
connect with Craig
Noden.
-
Community Bulletin
Board. Don asked Ken
Conner to coordinate
with Joe DeYulio and
Bob Madden to put up a
community bulletin
board. Motion was
made and passed to put
both the PIE and
community bulletin
boards in their former
locations between the
bridges.
-
Beach
Dune Walkovers. Don
said we have a
stumbling block to
deal with due to the
Fire Station 10’s
request that the
walkovers be wide
enough for their new
vehicle. The DEP can
issue a field permit
if the width is less
than 4 foot. If
wider, our request for
a permit will need to
go to Tallahassee.
Don will get back in
touch with Jenny
Cowart, DEP Regional
Coordinator in Ft
Myers, and discuss the
Fire Department’s
request with her.
New Business. Don
reviewed the new
business items that were
brought up by PIE
members at the annual
meeting.
-
Mail
Delivery Service on
the island. Don will
find out why USPS
won’t provide delivery
service.
-
County
Landscaping by bridge
not being maintained.
Ken will call Dawn
Harrison at the
county.
-
It was
suggested that we
check into the
possibility and cost
involved of Florida
Power & Light/Embarq
burying the overhead
lines. Ken will find
out who to talk to.
There were a couple of
new business items
brought up at tonight’s
meeting.
-
Speeding on Gulf
Boulevard. Jackie
will contact the
county to find out
what can be done other
than issuing tickets
to violators. Don
will talk to Jim
Cooper from the GIBA (Gasparilla
Bridge Authority) and
get information on
what was involved in
what they put in place
at the bridge.
-
Website being kept up
to date. Kim has
found it necessary to
focus more on her
business recently.
She requested that
someone take over the
Art in the Palms
liaison work, which
Rose agreed to do.
That, plus no longer
having the Secretary’s
position should allow
her more time to work
on the website.
Don asked board members
to come to the next
meeting with their
suggestions, issues, and
project ideas for the
coming year prioritized
by importance.
The 2009 calendar was
set for the following
events:

Don asked board members
to bring ideas for the
spring fling (such as a
casino night),
suggested price of
admission, and date (in
April or May) to the
next meeting. Robin
noted that Tropical
Nights is scheduled for
April 25.
Don adjourned the
meeting at 5:55 p.m.
Respectfully submitted,
Pat Bieneman
Secretary
