a message from the president Good Afternoon to all our CAI Central Florida Members and Friends! We are half way through 2019 and there is so much to do. We survived the National Conference and a fun Chapter Party. I was also very excited that the Chapter and its Board Members took some time out of their busy schedules to take part in a strategic planning session that was administered by CAI National. There were four very strong elements below that came out of that session that your Board felt would make a huge impact on our Chapter and how we move forward to support communities, members and Business Partners throughout Central Florida. 1. Policies and a Business Plan. As we all have a duty to assist our communities in running their business, so does the Board of Directors for the CAI Central Florida Chapter. We must strive to work on creating and putting into use policies and procedures to ensure that the CAI Central Florida Chapter is well run, future boards and volunteers know the roles and responsibilities they have to the organization, and our members know that the Chapter has a business plan that is well thought out and executed for a successful future. 2. Update Website and Social Media for All Members. As we all assist our communities with communication through the use of websites and other social media platforms, CAI Central Florida should also strive to have a web presence that is easy to use and find relevant information. We also need to develop a social media presence that can be used by all of our members. CAI Central Florida needs to update its website and utilize social media in an enhanced method that includes the use of mobile devices. 3. Three Prong Approach to Membership and Education. Our Chapter needs to review and create a calendar of events and educational opportunities that is three pronged. Programming that is relevant to each of our different membership groups - homeowners, Community Association Managers, and of course our Business Partners. Education is the key that will make everyone’s life easier. Understanding and knowledge make for a well run business regardless of that being at a community level, at a manager’s level or at a Business Partner’s level. 4. Sponsorship Opportunity Enhancements. As our membership grows in all categories, our Business Partners are being asked to do more. CAI Central Florida needs to be able to assist our Business Partners in providing additional opportunities in marketing that touches on all levels of membership more often. We need to identify more opportunities to keep our Business Partners engaged and all levels of membership learning from each other. As you can see, just these four initiatives are huge in scope and nature. However, I can assure you that the current Board of Directors, the Chapter Committees and our CED
President’s message continued on next page 2
President’s message continued are capable of making these four elements come together. I look forward to hearing from you on your thoughts about creating a Chapter that can offer more and continue to grow, all while maintaining a well-run and sustainable business plan that our membership will be proud of. Education will be the foundation at all levels of membership and we will enhance networking that is effective for all. I am not aware of any other membership organization that can offer this level of opportunity like CAI can. Thank you again to all our members and sponsors for continuing to have the dedication and commitment that make what CAI Central Florida is today! Enjoy the summer! Sincerely,
Ken Zook Ken Zook, CMCA, AMS, PCAM 2019 President, CAI Central Florida Chapter

a message from the CED We’re Growing!
REINI MARSH Central Florida Chapter Executive Director
On May 6, 2019, Ken and I received a letter from Crystal Wallace, the Vice President of Membership & Chapter Relations at CAI National, congratulating us on our Chapter’s growth. We have grown from a medium size chapter to a large size chapter! The following came directly from Ms. Wallace’s letter: CAI categorizes chapter sizes based on the metrics (shown right) and chapter growth is a direct reflection of the hard work and dedication of the chapter leadership, membership and staff put forth every day. Without your commitment to the organization and the industry, CAI would not be where it is today. With more than 40,000 members and 64 chapters including
partnerships overseas, we continue to see growth in membership, education programming, and increases in the number of designees. The Chapter should be very proud of this accomplishment and we look forward to working with you to continue the Chapter and CAI’s growth! Chapter Sizes • Small Chapters = 50 to 250 members • Medium Chapters = 251 to 500 members • Large Chapters = 501 to 750 members • Very Large Chapters = 751+ members

board governance BY JOSEPH F. SMITH, III, ESQ., BURG SIMPSON ELDREDGE HERSH JARDINE
What Does It Take to Excel?
G
enerally, the purpose of a community association is described as to “preserve, protect and enhance.” Then the purpose of the board of directors is to govern the association in such a way as to fulfill this purpose. But, how do boards do this exactly? And, how do you know if your board is excelling?
• Allows owners to attend and participate in board meetings
In the Foundation for Community Association Research Best Practices #2 Report on Governance (click here for the link to the document), the authors suggest that a board that excels when it does all of the following in conformity with applicable laws, governing documents and best practices:
• Conducts, and produces minutes of, owner meetings
• Provides for due process (the opportunity to be heard) in association-related matters
• Encourages the use of alternative dispute resolution
• Establishes election procedures • Timely responds to owners’ requests for maintenance and for other association-related matters
• Meets regularly and carries out its duties and responsibilities • Regularly inspects and monitors the community to ensure • Fulfills disclosure requirements to owners • Makes books and records open to inspection by owners 8

Limitations set levels of care and boundaries on those individuals (partners) who are responsible for achieving the Ends Policies and might include things like budgetary or time limits. 3.

information concerning the association and to get feedback
• Utilizes management, if applicable, that is licensed, certified
4. Defining the Governance Process. The Governance Process clarifies the board’s own job and rules, including how it connects to owners to whom the board is ultimately accountable. According to Dr. Carver, “governance is a ‘downward’ extension of ownership, not an ’upward’ extension of management.” Therefore, it is essential that board members engage with owners in order to be able to excel in their positions.
or holds appropriate credentials
• Secures appropriate insurance—such as CGL, property damage, D&O, workers’ compensation and fidelity insurance
• Administers property damage and personal injury claims • Budgets for education of board members While this list is not comprehensive, the scope and depth of it can be overwhelming and result in many board members throwing up their hands and giving up with the amount of things to be done. However, there is a tool that can help boards excel – the Policy Governance Model Developed by Dr. John Carver.
The Policy Governance Model is not for every community and will most often take a paradigm shift as it requires board members to fully understand and embrace servant leadership and let go of much of the day-to-day decisions that are made in a community association. However, with discipline, hard work and flexibility use of the Policy Governance Model can take some of the pressure off of board members and make the job more fulfilling. One of the best ways to get started with implementing the Policy Governance Model is to develop a Policy Governance Book of Governance which contains a vision statement, the association’s mission and all of its policies.
THE POLICY GOVERNANCE MODEL The Policy Governance model allows board members to feel comfortable about delegating the day-to-day operations to others (committees or management or staff ) so they can focus on the big picture and the long term needs of the association. Under Policy Governance, a board will spend most of its time on these 4 basic areas:

Three Technologies to Enhance Community Association Efficiency and Productivity
N
o one can accuse community association managers or their accounting teams of being lazy. Managing requests from thousands of homeowners in the communities they serve can leave these employees drained and searching for more hours in a day. No computer program or mobile app can actually increase the number of hours in a day. But, three types of technology can significantly increase productivity and decrease stress for community associations managers.
property. What is the magical cure to answering the most common homeowner questions? Live community websites. Websites can provide more than just notification that there will be a community yard sale on Saturday. They can allow owners to view their personal accounts in real time, check the status of work orders they have requested, and view violation letters, including pictures of the violation to be corrected. They can also be used to push information out to owners such as, “The west parking lot will be closed for resurfacing,” or, “Hurricane Irma is expected to impact your community.”
1. COMMUNITY WEBSITE Dealing with homeowner questions is the most time-consuming issue for employees of property management companies. Allowing an owner to self-serve some of the more common questions not only decreases the number of phone calls to the management company but also empowers the owner and instills confidence in the company they have chosen to manage their 14
CE N TRAL F L O R I D A T I M ES | 2 ND Q UARTER 2 0 1 9
Board members can also view financial packages, check account balances, and even approve invoices for their community, no matter what state they are in. Websites can provide a wealth of knowledge to homeowners and board members without them ever having to pick up the phone to call the management company.

technology continued 2. MOBILE-FRIENDLY, CLOUD-BASED APPS Community association managers, especially portfolio managers, spend a great deal of time at the properties they manage. Without software that’s easy to use on tablets and smartphones, many must make lists of work to complete, then head back to the office for hours of computer time to address them. By utilizing cloud-based technology, many of these tasks can be completed on the spot at the property. The right software apps can give managers the ability to work in the software while in the field. Pictures of violations can be put directly into the app, prompting the violation letter to be sent. Work orders can be closed, sending pictures and confirmation to the owner that the work has been completed. Managers inspecting completed projects, such as landscaping, painting or pressure washing, can approve vendor invoices and close out projects from the app. Mobile-friendly cloud-based apps can save community managers significant time and headaches.
accounting team. This integration is not only a powerful fraud prevention tool but also saves significant time by reconciling every bank account every day. When accounts are reconciled daily, accountants can catch and correct errors or potential fraud long before they receive the monthly bank statements. Integrated software can also push bank statements directly into the software. This gives accountants the ability to start on the monthly financial reports the first business day of the month rather than waiting for paper or e-statements to arrive. And since the accounts are already reconciled, there are no surprises to slow down the monthly process. The right technology can lead to happier community association clients and staff. There are many software applications with a wide range of tools such as those listed above. At American Momentum Bank, we are proud to partner with Cinc Systems to offer management companies state-of the-art, cost-effective, cloud-based technology.

disaster preparedness for pets BY LYNNE SADOWSKI, SERVPRO OF SW ORLANDO
Don’t Let Fluffy Get Caught in the Storm!
I
will never forget when I first began my career in emergency water damage restoration. I went into a house that had been severely affected by water damage from a bathroom pipe bursting on the second floor of the home. Puddles of water were bursting through the ceiling of the first floor. Paint was literally melting off of the wall due to drywall being saturated. Floors were buckling and the house was in ruins. It was horrific. There was three inches of standing water in most every room in the house. Electricity had to be turned off to reduce chances of electric shock. Needless to say, with no electricity there was no A/C. It was the middle of July in Florida and the house was ridiculously hot and extremely humid. As I investigated the situation more closely, I put on my rubber boots and worked my way upstairs. I explored the bedrooms first, and then found my way into a small hallway bathroom where I heard a faint, “meow.” There was a tiny cat hiding in the corner of the bathroom, just beside of the toilet, terrified. I held her closely and pet her to calm her down. I immediately addressed my concerns with the owner and through our conversations, discovered that she had planned to leave the cat inside the house over the weekend while she went to a friend’s house. After further discussions, and explanations of the dangers of leaving the cat in the home, I was able to convince her to take the cat with her until she was able to move back into her home. Honestly, had she not taken the cat with her, I would have probably taken her 20
CE N TRAL F L O R I D A T I M ES | 2 ND Q UARTER 2 0 1 9
home with me. The thought of leaving this poor kitty in this home in dangerous conditions was more than I could handle. I was relieved to know that she would be leaving the home with her owner. Sometimes the disaster isn’t just a flooded home due to a pipe breaking upstairs. Natural disasters, such as hurricanes can be devastating for both humans and their pets. We’ve all seen the heartbreaking visuals in the news of a cat clinging to a log floating down a river after a hurricane, or a dog sitting on a roof top in a flooded town. In the case of Hurricane Katrina, where evacuation was mandatory, an estimated 100,000 pets were left behind. Many people were fleeing the area via buses and were not allowed to take their pets. Louisiana SPCA reported that Katrina was responsible for an estimated 70,000 pet deaths throughout the Gulf Coast region. After that devastating storm, thankfully, volunteers from the SPCA and other organizations formed search and rescue teams to help locate missing pets and reunite them with their owners. These search efforts went on for months. Katrina opened our eyes and was a turning point in the history of storms in the United States. Because of this massive, category 5 hurricane that broke levies and left behind a broken city, federal and state laws have changed how they do things. Since Katrina, thirty states have implemented laws which address disaster planning and preparedness for service animals and pets. Several states have policies in place for transportation and accommodations for pets during disaster. Knowing what your local and state government

disaster preparedness cont. has in place to assist pets during a natural disaster should be part of your hurricane preparedness planning. Just like we have to do our pre-planning and preparation for the people in our family, we must do the same for our pets. Below are two steps you can take to prepare an emergency game plan for your pets in the event of disaster.
#1. PREPARE IN ADVANCE! If your home is not safe for people, it’s not safe for pets either. Pre arrangement of a safe place for your pets is crucial. Do your due diligence prior to the disaster so you are ready at a moment’s notice. If you must evacuate, either before or during the disaster, by having a pre established place to take your furry (or feathered) loved ones will give you peace of mind and make what is already a stressful time, much easier to endure. Create your “pet” list with important addresses, contact names, and phone numbers of people and services that might come in handy during disaster:
• Have a list of family members and friends who could offer a safe haven for your animals before or after the storm.
do and how to do it will help enable you to respond more quickly in any situation. In addition to a first aid kit, you’ll also need your emergency supplies. Just like you have to put together your emergency supplies for the people in your home, you must have your emergency supply kit for little Fluffy and Sparky! Remember to have all of these items ready before disaster strikes. Make sure that in the event of evacuation, you are ready to travel with your pets and all of their supplies. If your pets are horses, birds, or reptiles, they will need extra consideration. As a responsible pet-owner, consider all of your pet’s needs. Here are some basic essentials for most pets. However, be sure to adjust this list to meet the needs of your specific type of pet:
• One gallon of bottled water per pet/per day to last for at least • • • •
• Identify local emergency shelters that allow owners to bring their pets. • Check with your veterinarian to see if they board animals or can recommend a good boarding kennel. • Call around to local motels and hotels and determine what their pet policy is. Have you ever considered taking a course in Pet First Aid? The American Red Cross has an online course and a digital app to teach you things that could help save your furry loved one’s life one day. Identification is crucial at all times for your pet, especially during a disaster. Make sure that your pet has a collar with an ID tag with your name and phone number on it. Having your pet microchipped is a very important step you can take in advance. If for any reason you and your pet get separated, having the microchip makes it easier for your pet to be identified so that the two of you can soon be reunited. Clearly mark your pets name, your name, your phone number, and your address on your pet carrier. Get a rescue alert sticker from the ASPCA to place on your door. If you do end up evacuating the home, and you have the time, be sure to write “evacuated” on the sticker to alert rescue teams that you have removed the pets from the premises.

While putting together your first aid and supplies kits, keep in mind the daily needs of your pet. Be sure that you have at least a twoweek supply of all the items you would normally need to take care of that pet, as well as a safe way to transport them if necessary. If you have exotic pets or horses, there are special procedures to follow for them as well. Speak with your veterinarian about your particular type of pet, and make sure you have the essentials you need, as well as an evacuation plan in place for those pets, long before the disaster strikes. Preventative measures and a plan of action can save lives of people and animals, alike. Don’t let Fluffy get caught in the storm. Prepare now!
#2. GET AN EMERGENCY SUPPLY KIT! Putting together a first aid kit for your pet is as important as putting together your own first aid kit. Ask your vet what type of supplies that they recommend, and see if they offer an instruction booklet to keep in your pet’s first aid kit as well. Knowing what to 22

bat season BY BENJAMIN ISIP, CMCA, AMS, PRESIDENT, TOWERS PROPERTY MANAGEMENT, INC.
Bats
in the Belfry
D
id you know that there is a “bat season” in Florida? It’s not a hunting season, where you’ll see hunters roaming around at twilight looking for them. It’s a maternity season, where they look for safe places to nest and raise their young. In an urban environment, they will roost inside buildings, find holes in stucco, invade attics, or even fly through open windows. Sometimes, bat nests in a building may not cause any real problems and may be small enough to go unnoticed for years. Other times, they will breed tremendous numbers and become quite a nuisance. Homeowners should not attempt to poison or otherwise exterminate bats themselves. To begin with, bats are considered a threatened species in Florida, whose numbers are dwindling due to urban development of natural habitats where they once lived and consumed many harmful insects. It’s illegal to willfully kill bats in Florida. Also, remember that just like any other animal, a bat may bite to protect itself if threatened. If anyone is bitten by a bat, they need to seek medical attention immediately because the most common way for people to get rabies in the United States is through contact with a bat. Finally, “self help” remedies like extermination or just plugging entry holes are not effective. These cause bats to flee into inaccessible areas, where they may die, and causing further problems in the home. 26
CE N TRAL F L O R I D A T I M ES | 2 ND Q UARTER 2 0 1 9
Each species poses its own bat removal challenge, so trained professionals should be contracted with to handle the issue. Bats are relentless, which is why it can be helpful to hire a professional to not only humanely remove the bats but to examine and repair entry points of your home to eliminate the chance of future bat infestation. A trained specialist will be able to install one-way exclusion devices to allow the bats to safely leave your home before permanent repairs are made to keep them out for good. Because baby bats cannot fly to leave their nest, exclusions cannot be performed during maternity season, which is from April 15th to August 15th. Homeowners should take action right away if they think that they have a bat infestation. The longer that bats roost in a home, the more likely that there will be an odor and accumulation of bat guano. Though there have been no cases of illness due to this in Florida, removing the smell can be costly if bats are left to breed for years.

lake management BY SHANNON JUNIOR, AQUATIC ECOLOGIST, SOLITUDE LAKE MANAGEMENT
New Innovative Solutions in Your Lake Manager’s “Toolbox”
H
erbicides and algaecides have traditionally been used to maintain balanced water quality in lakes and ponds— but wouldn’t it be exciting if there was a new technology or process that could totally revolutionize the way we approach environmental problems in our communities? Industry leaders have long understood that proactive, holistic management strategies are the key to achieve long-term balance in our aquatic environments; however, our toolbox of sustainable solutions has not always grown at the same pace as our knowledge. That’s why we are so excited about recent advances in water quality restoration. Let’s be clear: EPA-registered herbicides and algaecides are generally only used as a last resort solution—but sometimes they are necessary and valuable tools. Just as you might take an antibiotic to recover from an infection, pesticides help your waterbody recover from nuisance and sometimes harmful aquatic weed infestations. Now, new herbicide technologies are optimizing the safe eradication of undesirable plant species with very limited impact on native vegetation, wildlife or recreational activity. These highly-targeted herbicides combine the best features of traditional options to target the unique growth processes in undesirable aquatic weeds and achieve more selective and long-lasting vegetation control. Thanks to their favorable environmental profile, they require 100-1000x lower use rates than traditional herbicides and have been designated by the EPA as a “Reduced Risk” solution that is virtually non-toxic to humans, pets and wildlife. 30
CE N TRAL F L O R I D A T I M ES | 2 ND Q UARTER 2 0 1 9
Reduced Risk herbicides can be highly successful for the management of many species and may provide exceptional multi-season control when applied by specially certified professionals at the appropriate growth stage and dosing rate. Properties suffering from chronic milfoil species, hydrilla, crested floating heart, watershield, parrotfeather, creeping primrose, slender spike rush, yellow floating heart and similar species are excellent candidates for management with these highly-selective, low-impact herbicides.

After Selective Herbicides
For any new technology, it is important to evaluate its niche within our “toolbox” and to understand the best fit among the available water quality management strategies. There are many factors to consider when developing a comprehensive aquatic resource management plan, such as the target weed or algae species, the presence of beneficial native vegetation, and the goals and budget

lake management cont. of the stakeholders. While reduced risk herbicides offer a new and exciting option for our clients with severe nuisance or invasive aquatic weed issues, it’s important to establish long-term control by addressing the true root of the problem: unbalanced water quality. Water quality restoration is one of the most frequent and important challenges that we face as lake and pond managers, and should be a high priority for every waterbody. Poor water quality due to nutrient loading is a constant issue, as runoff containing fertilizers and other pollutants from agricultural farms, suburban lawns and gardens, and urban streets and parking lots drains into lakes, ponds, and stormwater management facilities. Even natural areas can contribute to water quality degradation through the deposition of sediment, leaf debris and other organic matter to our waterways. These pollutants are the ultimate source of nuisance lake and pond weeds, harmful cyanobacteria (blue-green algae) blooms and other complications that impair waterbodies for municipal and recreational uses, and may also make them less habitable for fish and other wildlife. As a property manager or member of a homeowners community, you may have already implemented numerous aquatic management tools such as aeration and nanobubble technology, biological augmentation, and innovative sediment management techniques such as bioengineered shorelines and hydro-raking. Another new technology for the sustainable removal of nutrients and other pollutants is generating excitement within our industry. Similar to activated charcoal, this new technology has highly adsorbent properties that allow it to remove impurities from water. These charcoal-like particles can be placed in large, porous bags in moving water, and the particles will attract and trap nutrients, metals and other pollutants. The bags are then removed from the water when they are full, resulting in the physical elimination of the trapped material from the waterbody. The contents of the bag can be discarded, or better yet, applied to lawns and gardens as a soil amendment for natural fertilization and as a substrate for beneficial microbes to enhance plant growth.
Nutrient Remediation Bags
the management of water resources easier and more sustainable than ever. When implementing any sort of aquatic weed or water quality solution for your waterbody, it’s extremely valuable to consult with an aquatic biologist or ecologist who is on the leading edge for innovative solutions to age-old challenges. Your community members—and your long-term budget—will thank you!

This new technology is most effective in flowing waterbodies so that there is constant circulation of water around the bags for nutrient adsorption. More stagnant basins would benefit from the installation of a fountain or aeration system to move the water and enhance the effectiveness of this method. The number and size of the bags required is also site-specific, and their longevity could be several weeks up to an entire season, depending on the severity of water quality impairment. The increasing problems of anthropogenic and climatological water quality degradation have brought us to a critical time in the aquatic management industry, but new technologies like these are making 32
