SUPERVISORS’ REPORT
NOVEMBER 2025
The CDD held its regular meeting at 2 PM, November 11, 2025, at the Club House.
Field Manager Ortland updated us on the Pier, stating that the District Engineer and contractors, along with the Field Manager, were on the Pier this week, beginning the bidding process. The Board will review bids at December’s meeting.
The Gatehouse will be updating its main computer with new backup and processing equipment. Intechgrate, our computer technology company, which backs up our data and is our handles our computer security system, will be building and installing the computer and accessories.
Henry reported that earlier in the month, shortly before leaving the office, a truck knocked down the exit gate arm. Upon trying to reinstall it, he pulled his vehicle alongside the arm to block traffic for a short period of time, and a car raced between him and his vehicle to exit, and could have caused a serious accident had his arm been a few inches closer to the gate mechanisms. At that point, traffic was building, and people were impatient, and one gentleman actually confronted him and told him to do his job, causing further delays. Occasionally, the gate will need some work, and if Henry is by himself trying to fix it, residents need to be patient because there is no way he can replace the arm and direct traffic at the same time. It should not take that much of your time. Please be patient!!!
District Manager Ferguson reported the need for a discussion of Office Hours. Henry stated that he planned to retire sometime in the summer due to his wife’s health and the fact that he is having health issues as well. Coordination needs to be in place for someone to learn the responsibilities of working at the gatehouse. A special meeting will be held so that the Board may discuss the job description and processes. Filling Henry’s shoes will be very difficult.
There was further discussion regarding painting the outside of the gatehouse and repairing the ceiling on the inside. Since we understand we will be receiving some funds from FEMA, and we don’t know exactly how much it will cost to repair the pier, the Board has decided to wait until we have all the information we need to make an informed decision as to how to proceed with projects other than the
pier.
The next regular CDD meeting will be held on December 9 at 2 PM at the Clubhouse. Attend the meeting and get first-hand information about what is happening in your neighborhood. I hope to see you at the next meeting.
Judi O’Connor, Vice Chairman
