THE R/V INSIDER Rosemont/Vista Palms – Mile Run East Newsletter

MAY, JUNE 2014 ISSUE #2

President’s Remarks Robert Melvin

Hello neighbors. We had a nice response to the

last (first) newsletter and several people have

asked how often it will come out. Since this is a

good way of communicating information we

decided that after every board meeting would be a

good time. That way we can keep you up to date

with your community.

Several repairs have been made; a 16 foot section

of the pool deck that was lifting, repainted doors to

and around the clubhouse, had the plumbing

serviced in both of the restrooms, and the pool gate

repaired as well.

Our committees are coming together nicely. The

Social committee pulled off another successful

garage sale, while the Landscape committee is

hard at work on plans to beautify the

neighborhood. The Rules committee will be

having their second meeting this month and some

changes are in the works. Some of these changes

will require an owners meeting which is set for

July 8 at 6:00 pm. You are welcome to stay for the

regular board meeting scheduled immediately

after. There is no limit as to the number of people

serving on each committee however the Fine

committee is still vacant. Although I can

understand how this may be an unpopular

committee, this is the only committee that board

members are not allowed to serve on, thus

consisting only of homeowners.

Rosemont/Vista Palms is a great place to live.

Call or text me with your ideas on how we can

make it even better.

Respectfully, Robert

WHAT’S NEW

CENTER MEDIAN BEAUTIFICATION

The landscape committee is working on a plan to

remove the dying plants from the center median and

replace them with drought resistant, Florida friendly

ones. The idea is to beautify while lowering our

water bill. Please use extra caution while driving

around this area as this project is scheduled to begin

soon. If you would like to be part of this committee

and help with landscaping ideas, contact

[email protected].

2ND

USE CLUBHOUSE FEES

You asked and we listened. A member in our

community asked if we could lower the 2nd

use fee

for the clubhouse. The rules committee put forth a

suggestion to amend the policy and the board

approved lowering the fee from $90 to $40. This

takes place immediately. Remember, you always

have 1 free use per year. Contact Fran to reserve.

UPDATES:

TENNIS & BASKETBALL COURTS

Resurfacing of the tennis & basketball courts are taking longer

than anticipated, mainly due to weather, however, we apologize

for your inconvenience and they should be up and running very

soon. Skateboarders have been noticed scuffing up the new

surfaces; therefore in efforts to keep our facilities in good

condition, the gate to the basketball court will be reinstalled

along with signs that indicate no skateboards, bikes,

rollerblades or scooters.

SUBDIVISION WALL

A low pressure washing was performed and has been noted by

several homeowners that even though it doesn’t take care of the

problem at hand, it certainly looks much better. Plans are

being formed and bids are being taken for this rather extensive

project, so look for more to come.

WHAT’S OLD

DO YOU RECOGNIZE YOUR MODEL?

1993 Builders Sheet – Vista Palms Home

1993 Builders Sheet – Rosemont Home

SPRING HAS SPRUNG

Rosemont/Vista Palms homeowners, show off

your pride and your beautiful home. We are

tossing around the idea of featuring a beautiful

home of the quarter. Is this a title you might like?

Send us your thoughts on this and maybe your

home will be featured. Meanwhile here are some

yard tips: April is the time to weed and feed your

lawn. May is the time to fertilize annual and

perennial flowerbeds and watch for brown spots in

your lawn as this may be a sign of chinch bug or

web worm problems. In June you should fertilize

your palms and prune back the spring flowering

shrubs such as azaleas and camellias. For watering

tips go to:

KIDS CORNER Grab your water-wings, the baby pool is open

The holes in the surface of the playground mat

are being repaired with a patch kit purchased

over the internet at a savings to the association.

The board decided to renovate the old basketball

pad and have a 4-square and hopscotch drawn.

COMMUNITY SHOUT-OUT Thank you to all the homeowners who

participated in the Spring garage sale. You

helped make it a success!

The clubhouse now has a microwave oven

donated by the Johnsons. Thank you so much!

Thank you to Penny for working on the roses at

the first entrance. You are greatly appreciated!

OWNERS MEETING There will be an Owners Meeting to discuss

several changes to the bylaws on July 8th

at 6:00

pm in the Rosemont/Vista Palms Clubhouse.

The following will be voted on: 1) That since

ownership of a lot is considered membership

that only members may be allowed to serve as

board members. 2) That only 1 board member

from the same lot is able to serve on the board at

the same time. 3) To change the method of

communication to e-mail as this will

significantly cut down expenses and expedite

information to the homeowners.

MAINTENANCE ISSUES

Should you see something that needs attention

or repair, please call Fran or Robert. You can

also report a problem on our website

www.mileruninfo.com and select the report
