Transition of Association Control

Michael Fleshman LCAM, CMCA, AMS Community Manager mfleshman@ evergreen-LM.com 772-800-2506

I wanted to share some important information with you all that I keep getting questions on, which involves the Transition (Turnover) of the Association Control in Vitalia. This is what the Florida Statute states: Florida Statute 720.307 (a) Three months after 90 percent of the parcels in all phases of the community that will ultimately be operated by the homeowners’ association have been conveyed to members. The community, when all homes are built and conveyed to the members, will total 1,244 homes. The 90 percent mark is 1,120 homes. When we hit this 90 percent mark the three month (90-day) counter starts. That does not mean we have to wait until then to start the process that is involved in the transition process/timeline. We are already starting this process with discussions we are having in committee and resident meetings. We will continue to pass along information to the residents about the process/timeline through town hall and committee meetings. The Transition is a very important time for Vitalia because it’s when the community takes

control of their community and elects their first homeowner Board of Directors. The Board of Directors will be made up of three to seven homeowners and will make the decisions on behalf of all Vitalia residents. Below are some of the responsibilities of your elected Board of Directors as found in your By-Laws in Section 5 (Please refer to your governing documents for additional information): 5. Powers and Duties: The Board of Directors shall have the powers and duties necessary for the management and administration of the affairs of the Association and may take all acts, through the proper officers of the Association, in executing such powers, except such acts which by law, the Declaration, the Articles or these By-Laws may not be delegated to the Board of Directors by the Members. Such powers and duties of the Board of Directors shall include those powers provided in the Declaration and Articles as well as include, without limitation (except as limited elsewhere herein) … Please stay tuned for more information provided in my weekly eblasts and on the Vitalia website (VitaliaAtTraditionHOA.com).

Have a Heart for Literacy Tree Submitted by Cathy Powers, Vitalia Event Planning Committee Once again this year we will be collecting books to provide literacy experiences to young children in Port St Lucie. There will be a tree in the Captiva Club lobby with book suggestions for your selection. Please feel free to take a book card from the tree and replace it with a book of your choice. The tree will be in the lobby from February 4th to February 14th. This is a wonderful way to share your favorite books with young children in our community. They will love your donated books! February 2019 | Vitalia Voice 3

This month we’ll be discussing The Pearl That Broke Its Shell by Nadia Hashimi. Afghan-American Nadia Hashimi’s literary debut novel, The Pearl that Broke Its Shell is a searing tale of powerlessness, fate, and the freedom to control one’s own fate that combines the cultural flavor and emotional resonance of the works of Khaled Hosseini, Jhumpa Lahiri, and Lisa See.
