· Snowbirds and visitors were reminded to remove all loose items from their patios or around their units in preparation for the approaching Hurricane Season which begins June 1^st

Barry Prince discussed the Spa Renovations and that we have received three bids from contractors ranging from a high of $140,000.00 to a low of $122,000.00. The low bid came from the contractor that was recommended by the Architect. Barry asked the contractors to go back and try to come up with some alternatives to the renovations so as to bring the amount lower to the cost we were anticipating. It is hopeful that this will be accomplished shortly and that we might still be able to begin early in July and complete the renovations by Labor Day. Once an agreement is reached, we will invite the contractor to participate in a meeting for questions and answers.

(Coalition of Boynton West Residential Associations). meeting.

Owner, Howard Weinberg mentioned that there is a currently a Bill in the Florida State Legislature which relates to the Privacy Act and the publishing of Phone Directories and inclusion of email addresses.
