​

On November 28, 2025, the Social Committee decorated the front gate and pool cabana.  It really looks spectacular.  Many thanks to those who participated today.  During this work it was discovered the electrical sockets in the median are not working.  We will have an electrician resolve this problem immediately.

​

On November 26, 2025, the streetlight adjacent to the exit gate and the one across from the pool cabana were replaced.  Also, the pool cabana overhead light bulbs were replaced, as well as the bulbs on the north side of the fireplace. 

​

​​The Board of Directors will hold its next meeting on December 17, 2025, starting at 6:00 p.m., via Zoom.  The agenda and meeting info will be posted at the pool cabana and in FSR's Connect Website.  Note, this meeting may be cancelled due to the holidays.

​

The emergency repairs to the pool cabana are complete.  The Florida Department of Health has completed their pool inspection and issued a Satisfactory grade to the Association.  Therefore, the pool is open again.  We are in the process of replacing the overhead lights and lights that illuminate the fireplace.

​​

​The Veterans Day celebration was very nice and Owner Judie Smith read the history of the National Anthem that was very informative.

​

The annual flower rotation has been completed by Bland Landscape in front of both marquees.

​

Gates and Middle fountain - The vehicle entrance gates have been set to open due to voltage to the BAI Scanner dropping below 12.5 volts.  IAS and an electrician verified the power to the pedestal as the problem.  A new power line will be bored from the entrance gate operator to the pedestal to resolve this issue.  The Board is reviewing the proposal.  Also, the middle lake fountain has been turned off due as the pump is shorted out is tripping the circuit breaker.  The light ring uses halogen bulbs and is 11 years old and will be replaced.  The new pump will be 3hp and have a three LED light ring.  The BOD approved the repairs and Lake Doctors has ordered the parts.
