After Board investigation, which included consultation with the Women's Club, this item was CLOSED based on the following. Per Marian Young (Women's Club Board) we will not be able to have Bingo at SEPO because we are a 55+ community, which prohibits us from having Bingo, selling cards or paying out money. It would be considered gambling if we did it. We could only get a one-time license for $25 for a one-time event, but not ongoing. If we were 60+ we would be exempt. The resident has been informed of this. The Board thanks the resident for the suggestion of a potential SEPO Activity. To see details concerning this Suggestion click HERE .

Marian had just come to stay with JoAnne and ultimately make a trip here. Marian laid down for a nap, JoAnne went to check later and she had gone peacefully with the Angels. Marian was special - she was the SCCE Choir Director several years ago for many years and assisted putting on many wonderful shows here, especially at the holidays. She also had her Choir group sing occasionally with the Sunday Night Sunshine Jammers and was a presence in many of Lassey's productions. And she made some great dishes for our Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners. We will miss you but remember the "Good Old Days". God Bless American and God bless you and your family.

A roll call was taken, and the following Board members were in attendance: John Chajec, President, Mecca Henry, Treasurer, Jerry Utterback, Lyn Swonger, Frank Tewell and Tony Tramel. Others present included Jim Kennedy, Jean and Ron Lawrence, Kim and Kirby Schmitz, Sue Swidryk, Vickie Jones, Janice McFee, Jim Kennedy and Kathleen Sunders. John Chajec asked Ron Lawrence if he would like to start off the meeting about his requested item on the agenda. Ron indicated several years ago the “swamp area” generally north of the central entry gate, had been cleared and was being mowed. He identified about 2 years ago a water relief valve was moved from the frontage road to a location north of Texas avenue, with the expectation this action would help maintain the wetland area north of Texas Ave. This water valve has since been moved back to the frontage road, thereby drying out the area in question. Ron felt this area could again be an asset, if the area could be mowed as it once was, and after it was initially cleared again. President Chajec indicated a Board member would meet on site with Ron to help identify the area and determine what action, if any, might be considered by the Board at a later meeting. President Chajec also indicated the Board is no longer considering any proposal to modify the pool level that was listed on today’s Agenda. (Kirby and Kim Schmitz indicated they were pleased with this conclusion). Jim Kennedy, chairman of the Architecture Review Committee indicated all projects submitted had been approved. Jim indicated he had a need to discuss one related issue with John Chajec, to be resolved after the meeting. Discussion related to “Orientation” for new residents was discussed. Currently a “New Resident Package” is provided by the Office when new owners become SEPO residents. This is a legal package where the new owners are provided copies of Covenants, Policy and Procedures, and By Laws that they must abide by as part of a contract between them and SEPO. Janice McFee indicated as part of the Womens club, they want to have a follow up visit with these new residents, perhaps a week or two after they receive the SEPO package. This would be more like a traditional “Welcome Wagon” personal approach, letting them know about the social activities that are available. This two-phase approach for new residents would help to simplify the orientation process. There was some discussion by Lyn Swonger about this issue, and he wanted to clarify there is a need for two separate packages / approaches, the first should only be SEPO information, and the 2nd meeting with appropriate material would add to or supplement the first SEPO new resident packages. Vicki Jones submitted a proposed list of activities scheduled for next year by the Women’s Club. She also noted the presence of Sue Swidryk, who would be the activity director for next year’s Women’s Club. The proposed schedule was approved unanimously, and a copy is attached. Mecca Henry presented a copy of the audit report and replies she prepared in response to the audit report. She also presented adjustments and journal entries were made for the 2019 budget year, and she further recommended the Office issue a single invoice for each property in January. As each person pays against their respective invoice, the invoice amount less respective payments will be recognized, with any discounts applied for early payment. This action will reduce paperwork and reduce the opportunity for errors. Mecca Henry also indicated she will be providing monthly / annual budget reports to each Board Member and on the SEPO Residents Web Page. She further indicated a need to resolve an issue involving the Good Neighbor Golf Tournament financials for 2019. John Chajec indicated SEPO’s electrical supplier contract will expire soon. He indicated we have 11 different metered locations. New agreements need to be executed and / or extended before May 2020. Jean Lawrence, former President of SEPO added that Bob Wall previously had researched in detail and negotiated great KWh rates. Unfortunately, the companies failed to identify their “passed through charges” in their rate proposal, therefore the real costs were never properly identified. Director's Reports: Frank Tewell indicated the hot tub is working. The primary villain was the blower motor and parts could not be obtained locally, therefore causing delays. Tony Tramel indicated that he initiated actions to develop a set of plans, specifications, engineers estimate of probable construction costs, and contract documents for Indiana reconstruction / rehabilitation project. In review of the approved budget, it appears on the surface, there is no specific funding for Indiana repairs. He recommends funding for Indiana repairs be included in next year budget, so that once January 1st occurs, we can be prepared to execute a competitive bid contract pending funding in order to implement this project, assuming funding is provided in 2021 annual budget. Tony further indicated there appears to be a need to have a 5-year capital plan for other relative big ticket items, such as a “pavement management plan”, (in order to prevent another Indiana type project), replacing / repairing the banks of the golf course ponds which are sluffing into the ponds in many locations, or replacing older irrigation system components, or pump house motors, etc. Without such a plan, we will always be playing catch up or be reactive rather than proactive in protecting our investment. Both Tony and Mecca advocated the development of a 5-year capital improvement financial plan for the budget making process in the immediate future. Jerry Utterback indicated concrete was installed adjacent to existing sidewalks of the shuffleboard courts, where landscape gravel was removed. This was done in order to eliminate small rocks being accidently being cast into the hot tub by walking in this area. A new tennis net was recently installed and two pickleball nets have been ordered. Jerry received a bid on repairing the entrance / exit area near the gate of the storage lot. This proposal was for $12,500 for concrete pavement with steel reinforced section. Action is pending a review of this cost and related budget. Lyn Swonger indicated his effort had been primarily directed towards maintenance over the existing facilities of the golf course. New sod and drainage were installed on hole number 6. John Chajec indicated we were missing one board member because of the submitted resignation of Mark Owen, who held the position of Treasurer last year. The position of Secretary remains open. Tony Tramel, after reviewing this situation, decided to “take one for the team” and accepted the Secretary position in order to move forward. Tony indicated he still wants to be directly involved with Texas Ave, and Indiana Avenue as well as Streets in general. This volunteer action was necessitated in order to keep the financials moving, as both a Secretary and Treasurer names must be registered for SEPO to act in various ways. John Chajec indicated there was a need to fill one more position and he had asked several people to consider a potential appointment by the Board to fill this open position of Texas Avenue, Streets and other Common areas. He indicated Neil Morehead was willing to accept the position. Frank Tewell moved to appoint Neil Morehead, and it was seconded by Lyn Swonger, the motion was passed unanimously.. Discussion then moved towards allowing and / or amending the definition of immediate family, which is primarily associated with persons playing golf and a requirement for paying for golf if you are not within the immediate family. There was consensus that adding the words “brothers and sisters” to the definition of immediate family was acceptable. Jerry Utterback moved, and Mecca Henry seconded a proposed amendment to add those words to the Policies and Procedures of the Board. In order to clarify the language, the definition of immediate family would be stricken. The attached Resolution 2020-01 reflects the changes approved, see attached document. The Board indicated it will also consider at the next board meeting adding a more modern definition of immediate family, which may be living within the same household, which might include, but not limited, to words such as “partner”, or “persons living in the owner residence” to the immediate family definition. The following Board and Information meeting dates were identified in a discussion: Board Meeting Dates Residents Informational Meeting Dates October 12, 2020 October 20, 2020 November 9, 2020 November 17, 2020 December 7, 2020 December 14, 2020 January 4, 2021 Nominations February 16, 2021 Annual Meeting March 8, 2021 John Chajec then reviewed received suggestion letters, which included subjects related to excessive speeding of vehicles on the perimeter streets, identification of golf activities at various times of day, which occupy the course, thereby preventing other residents from playing during specified time periods, and others. Suggestion letters should be signed, so the Board may be able to provide direct contact to address received suggestions. Lyn Swonger indicated unsigned suggestions letters should not be addressed. No resolutions and solutions were identified after reviewing the received suggestion in the suggestion box. The meeting was adjourned at 2:05 PM.

Tony Tramel SEPO Board Secretary ​ The Agenda for the meeting was provided and follows. Jim Kennedy called the Board meeting to order at 3:00 PM, July 20, 2020, and asked for a roll call. Those present at the meeting included, Jim Kennedy, Lyn Swonger, Frank Tewell, Mecca Henry, Neil Morehead and Tony Tramel. Mecca Henry moved to dispense with the reading of the prepared minutes and to accept them as submitted. Tony Tramel seconded the motion and it was accepted unanimously. The minutes of June 5, 2020 were approved and are below for reference and noted as being approved on July 20, 2020. Jim Kennedy indicated the purpose of this meeting was related to requests made by Treasurer, Mecca Henry, regarding “re-designating” the Executives named on our Wells Fargo Bank Account. Secondly, Mecca Henry requested the Board to review financial information regarding SEPO Accounts and to evaluate the need to modify if the Board deemed it appropriate. Our current Wells Fargo account lists existing Executives on file for the account as John Chajec, former President, and Pat Harvey, former Board member. Mecca felt it is most appropriate to remove these two persons’ names who are no longer Board members, and to designate two current Board members to replace them. Resolution 2020-02, a copy of which can be found HERE for ease of reference, was offered up for introduction to the Board by Tony Tramel and indicated the two Executives to be listed on file as Jim Kennedy and Mecca Henry. There was no second to this motion. Therefore, the motion died for lack of second. After more discussion by Lyn Swonger, where he indicated Mecca Henry should not be one of the listed Executives and instead the persons should be Jim Kennedy and Frank Tewell, a motion was made by Lyn Swonger and seconded by Tony Tramel, with this provision. Those voting in favor were Jim Kennedy, Lyn Swonger, Frank Tewell, Neil Morehead and Tony Tramel. Mecca Henry did not vote in the affirmative on this motion. The motion therefore was adopted by the Board. The Board then individually signed Resolution 2020-02 and it was to be notarized by Valerie Basaldua, Office Manager, who witnessed the signatures. A draft of this Resolution had been presented to Wells Fargo representatives, who indicated this document, once executed, would suffice to modify the Executives on file for our Wells Fargo bank account. At the last Board meeting discussion was opened about the interest rates we are receiving for three accounts held by SEPO. Mecca Henry pointed out we are receiving interest on all our accounts, except the Wells Fargo account. She further indicated the Wells Fargo account requires a minimum of $25,000 to be maintained to minimize fees that are typically assessed to non-personal bank accounts. This Wells Fargo account is used primarily as our operating account. Mecca Henry then followed up on her indication she would report back to the Board concerning the amounts and related interest for each account. ​ Mecca Henry then presented a summary of the bank accounts which are currently under the control of SEPO, which are HERE . ​ The current accounts noted above represent our “Cash Account Balances”, as noted earlier. SEPO also has a Wells Fargo Account which is used to pay for recurring expenses and our budgeted items. Funds are moved periodically throughout the year, when needed, from one of the three accounts noted above to our Wells Fargo operating account. Mecca expressed her concern about our ability to interface with First Internet Bank, because there is no staff locally, and it is almost impossible to speak to someone on the telephone. The CD for First Internet is scheduled to mature on August 3, 2020. So, if SEPO were going to change banks, we need to do it at maturity for this CD, because it would automatically roll over on this date. After a discussion regarding the interest rates and other related advantages by Mecca Henry, a motion was made by Mecca Henry and seconded by Lyn Swonger, that action should be initiated to move funds as follows . The motion was passed unanimously by those present at the meeting. Mecca was requested by Jim Kennedy to set up any required meeting with Banking staff related to either of the issues approved by the Board on this date. A motion was made and accepted to adjourn the meeting at 3:30 PM.

Tony Tramel SEPO Board Secretary ​ SEPO BOARD MEETING MINUTES 3:00 PM, Retzlaff Hall, Friday, June 5 , 2020 (Approved July 20, 2020) Jim Kennedy called the Board meeting to order at 3:00 PM, June 5, 2020, and asked for a roll call. Those present at the meeting included, Jim Kennedy, Lyn Swonger, Frank Tewell, Mecca Henry, Neil Morehead, and Tony Tramel. Jim Kennedy indicated the primary purpose of this meeting was to review and approve the minutes of April 29, 2020, as well as those of May 5, 2020. Documented approval by the Board was needed by Mecca Henry, Treasurer to provide an official / documentation of the Boards actions on those dates for the financial institutions SEPO uses. Specifically, Mecca Henry wanted confirmation the 2020 Budget had been approved by the 2019 Board, which is reflected in the April 29, 2020 Minutes. Secondly, documentation was also needed regarding the appointment of Jim Kennedy, as President, to clearly document the change in our SEPO officers on May 5, 2020. Mecca Henry moved to dispense with the reading of the prepared / published minutes and to accept them as submitted. Lyn Swonger seconded the motion and it was accepted unanimously. A secondary issue of documenting a virtual meeting concerning replacement of the fountain hardware in the pond between fairway eight and nine was also acknowledged. Jim Kennedy indicated on June 4, 2020, he had discussed with all Board members the attached report prepared by Tony Tramel, concerning this issue, and each member indicated their approval. Jim Kennedy further indicated Frank Tewell moved to approve the report, to authorize the unplanned expenditure of $3,300 to the Pond Guy in accordance with their written quotation, and that all Directors should attempt to minimize future expenditures to offset this unplanned expense. Jim Kennedy indicated, Neil Moorehead seconded this motion, and that a majority of the Board approved this motion. A copy of the subject report is attached to these minutes. Discussion was opened about the interest rates we are receiving for three accounts held by SEPO. Mecca Henry pointed out that we are receiving interest on all our accounts, except the Wells Fargo account. She further indicated the Wells Fargo account requires minimum of $25,000 to be maintained in order to minimize fees that are typically assessed to non-personal bank accounts. This Wells Fargo account is used primarily as our operating account. Mecca Henry indicated she would report back to the Board concerning the amounts, and related interest each account has accumulated in the near future. Jim Kennedy is interested in this matter and will be researching options that may be available to the Board. Mecca is prepared to assist in this matter with Jim Kennedy. The last discussion of the meeting centered on modifying the list of authorized signature / names for all of SEPO bank accounts Mecca Henry indicated she felt there was no need to add additional names. However with the change in the President position, with the resignation of John Chajec, and the appointment of Jim Kennedy as President, it was apparent this needed to occur. There were several Board members in 2019 that were not full-time residents, which lead to a condition where there was only a single member who was in Harlingen from the list of authorized signatures last summer. That is not the case with the 2020 SEPO Board. Five of the seven Board members are full time residents. Notwithstanding these facts, Frank Tewell moved to add a third person to our financial authority names and have all Board members who “full-time residents“ as signers on the Wells Fargo account. Frank Tewell moved to delete John Chajec name from the list of authorized representatives regarding our bank accounts, add Jim Kennedy as his replacement, and to also add Lyn Swonger, first vice-president to this financial approval listing. Neil Moorehead seconded the motion. The motion was approved with the Treasure, Mecca Henry, indicating she did not vote for this motion. The meeting was adjourned at 3:15PM Tony Tramel SEPO Secretary Pond Fountain Funding Background There are two water fountains within the ponds of Sunshine Estates golf course. There is one on the fairway of hole number 1, and the other is located within the pond between number 8 and number 9 fairways. The equipment used for these two fountains is combination of older fountain nozzles, floats, and most recently Home Depot sump pumps. The sediment laden pond water often causes the pumps and spray nozzles to not function as designed. Each of these locations has until recently had not been functional. Effort by Lyn Swonger and staff to rebuild these two fountains was recently completed. This effort has resulted in varying degrees of success. The hole number 1 appears to be the most functional of the two units. Consideration of replacing the fountain between hole 8 and 9 however, is being explored, because the fountain operates in only a marginal manner even after rebuilding. Residents have expressed their desire to get this fountain repaired/fixed. Analysis Review of Alternatives President Jim Kennedy researched potential commercial equipment that might be used to replace our existing fountain between holes 8 and 9. He contacted “The Pond Guy” via their website and obtained a proposal which would provide a 1/2 HP motor/pump, with 3 fountain patterns, LED light which can display red, green, blue, and white lights, a mooring kit, and necessary wiring. Also included in this proposal is a “Complete Care Program 5 year The Pond Guy AquaStream extended warranty. A copy of the Quote dated 6/2/202 is attached for reference. It would appear securing equipment designed for the specific purposes of providing fountains for ponds, would be more appropriate than to continue attempting to repair / replace parts from our existing fountain at this location. The material cost shown in the attached quote is $3,279. Fiscal Analysis Equipment within the pond is part of the Golf Course. One might argue the ponds are “common ground” and might fall within Neil Morehead area, however, it felt this is an unreasonable position to make this argument. When the pond project was undertaken, the funding for this effort was under the Golf Course budget. Sand traps, cart paths, and our ponds are integrated in what we call a golf course. A request was made to fund this fountain using money appropriated for Streets and Common Areas, (Neil Morehead area), since it was argued “funding is more available in this area”. This would, however, be inconsistent with the intent and standard accounting practices associated with budgeting and it reporting requirements. Expenditures need to be accounted for within the designated line items with our Budget for 2020. This new fountain equipment can be purchased, assuming funding can be made available by reducing other line items in the Golf Course, and / or recognizing this proposed unexpected $3,279 expenditure will not cause SEPO total budget to be exceeded by $20,000, at the end of the fiscal/calendar year. If authorized by the Board, the expenditure must be placed in the Golf Course section of our 2020 Budget, as recommended by the Treasure of SEPO. Recommendation/ Conclusion The SEPO Board can authorize expenditures to replace the existing fountain between holes 8 and 9 by passing a motion to do so. The Treasure will identify this expenditure under the Golf Course. The Board must also recognize this unplanned expenditure will have a negative impact on the requirement in our Bylaws that the Board cannot exceed our total SEPO budget by more than $20,000 in total. Savings in other Areas of Responsibilities may well cover this issue, and each Director should try to reduce their anticipated expenditures to accommodate this $3,279 unplanned expense.

Tony Tramel SEPO Board Secretary ​ SEPO BOARD MEETING MINUTES 2:30 PM, Retzlaff Hall, Wednesday, May 5, 2020 (Approved June 5, 2020) ​ Lyn Swonger called the Board meeting to order at 2:30 PM, May 5, 2020, and asked for a roll call. Those present at the meeting included, Lyn Swonger, Frank Tewell, Mecca Henry, Neil Morehead, Jerry Drost, and Tony Tramel. The purpose of this meeting was to provide an official / documented process of nominating / appointing a person to the Board to fill a vacancy in accordance with the Board’s Bylaws. Lyn Swonger indicated he had contacted Jim Kennedy asking him if he would take the position of President on the Board. He then discussed it with another Board Member, and he initiated action and had Valerie issue a release to SEPO News, announcing Jim Kennedy had been appointed to the Board on May 2, 2020, without formal Board Action. Lyn indicated, this process is what had been done in the past, and even he, had not always been contacted for Board appointments since serving on the Board. Both Mecca Henry and Tony Tramel, indicated our Bylaws clearly provide language of how vacancies on the Board are to be filled in Section 5.03, page 5 of 11, of our SEPO Bylaws: Vacancies 5.03 A vacancy in any office because of death, resignation, disqualification, or otherwise, may be filled by an appointment by the Board of Directors to serve for the unexpired portion of the term. Mecca pointed out in dealing with our banks / financial issues we must be able to show official Board actions when appointing officers of the Board. Minutes of the meeting are needed to substantiate / document these changes on the Board for our officer positions. In an offer to resolve this situation, Tony Tramel offered the following motion: “I move to nominate and appoint Jim Kennedy to the SEPO Board in accordance with our Bylaws; contingent upon his acceptance of this nomination, and acceptance of the position of Board President, with the understanding Lyn Swonger would relinquish his current position of President, and would return to his prior position as 1st Vice President of the SEPO Board, if Jim Kennedy accepts todays Board action.” The motion was seconded by Mecca Henry. The motion passed unanimously. Jim Kennedy was then contacted via cell phone by Lyn Swonger, and wherein he asked Jim to come to the Board’s meeting place. Jim Kennedy arrived within five minutes of the phone call and was informed of the motion noted above, which had been approved by the Board. Two questions were then posed to him, asking if he would accept being on the Board, first, and second would he also accept the position of Board President? He provided a verbal “Yes” response to each of these two questions posed to him. Jim Kennedy by his responses and the Board’s action, became (1) an official Board Member, and (2) was appointed as President of the SEPO Board, effective May 5, 2020. Each Board member then formally Introduced themselves to Jim Kennedy. Jerry Drost indicated there was a water supply issue with the Woodshop, and discussion about how to resolve it. Apparently, the copper water supply line was covered with concrete, after the line was originally installed, and the chemical reaction of the copper with the lime in the concrete mix caused the copper pipe to deteriorate and created a major water leak. Action was initiated to resolve this maintenance matter. Openings / closings of SEPO buildings was discussed because of Covid19. It was decided a formal statement would be prepared and reviewed with Board Members and then provided to Beth Parrish to publish in a SEPO Community E-mail to residents. Tony Tramel agreed to prepare a draft and review with Frank Tewell. Discussion about the need to keep SEPO Board meetings open to the public was initiated by Tony Tramel. Section 4.03, page 4 of 11, of our Bylaws which is noted below: mandates our meeting to be open to the public: Open Meetings 4.03 All meetings of the corporation’s Board of Directors shall be open to the public. Additionally, it is his understanding SEPO Board meetings fall under the rules of the State of Texas and Texas Non-Profit Corporation Act, which can and does change by Texas Legislative actions, as noted in our Bylaws, page 10 of 11 under Articles XVII -Compliance which is restated as follows: ARTICLE XVII-COMPLIANCE 17.01 These Bylaws are set forth to comply with the requirements of the Texas Non-Profit Corporation Act and the Protective Covenants of Sunshine Country Club Estates. In case these Bylaws conflict with provisions of said Act or said Protective Covenants, it is agreed and accepted the provisions of the Texas Non-Profit Act and the Protective Covenants of Sunshine Country Club Estates shall govern. Both controlling documents indicated SEPO / the Board falls within complying with Open Meeting laws. Each meeting should follow a published agenda, and the public should be informed of same. Additionally, To comply with Opening Meeting laws of Texas, we also need to provide sufficient notice of a pending meeting, i.e. one to be called, in the future. We need to “Provide Notice” to the public at least 24 hours in advance of the meeting. This typically would be as a minimum, a notice posted on the Office Door and the location where the meeting will take place. The Board might also consider providing this information via a SEPO Email blast. The public, and in our case, residents of SEPO, may have interests in observing Board meetings and actions they make take and / or consider. Tony Tramel pointed out typically a Public Comment item should be included in any typical SEPO Meeting Agenda. Persons would be able to provide their comment to the Board. Specific rules can be developed and approved by the Board for such public comment periods on the Proposed Agenda for Board meetings. Examples of such potential rules might be: (1)public comments should be direct, (2) not involve personal attacks, (3) no inflammatory language is permitted during the public comment period, (4) specific time limits could also to be developed, like 1-2 minutes, etc., to ensure a smooth process might exist for both residents and the SEPO Board. Follow -up discussion about this issue was initiated, which alluded to perceived requirements related to this subject by the Boards’ Policy and Procedures. Lyn Swonger indicated if someone wished to speak at a Board Meeting, the person had to submit their request in writing and describe the subject of the issue, all of which had to happen several days prior to the Board meeting, and be approved by the Board President. What Lyn described does not appear in the Board’s adopted Policy and Procedures but may have been a personal procedural request at one time by a sitting Board President, with the consent of the then sitting Board members and appears to be inconsistent with the Open Meetings laws. The Board reviews the forms received in the suggestion box. Several Board members indicated if a complaint is received anonymously, they discounted the concern expressed. For this process to be effective, the Board members request the suggestion form be signed, to legitimize the concern. Using this approach, the Board might be able to directly contact the person to get more details relating to same. The specific name of the person submitting the suggestion should not be openly discussed at the Board meeting. Mecca noted that she had received a suggestion form which indicated the golf Trail Fees may not have been continuously in effect since 2003. The identification and use of these annual Trail Fees are contained in the Board’s Policy and Procedures document. This document can and has been changed by sitting and former Boards multiple times in efforts to address and clarify language contained in this document. (The last change to this document occurred on March 5, 2020, where the siting board expanded “immediate family” definition to include siblings of SEPO residents.) It is alleged in one of the received suggestion forms, in at least one document copy of the Board Policy and Procedures, which had a 2015 date, the current language, which dedicates the Trail Fees to concrete pathway construction and maintenance were excluded from the published Board Policies. Mecca indicated she would be researching that matter, and her findings could have an impact on her report made at the last Board meeting about this subject. Frank Tewell indicated interior renovation had been completed in the exercise room during the closure of that facility. This work included new paint on walls and baseboard, carpet cleaning and re-stretching of same in the room. Meeting adjourned at 2:52 PM. Tony Tramel Board Secretary ********************************************************************************** SEPO Board Meeting Minutes April 29, 2020 (Approved May 5, 2020) ​ The following minutes for the April 29, 2020 SEPO Board Meeting were approved by the Board on May 5, 2020. Tony Tramel SEPO Board Secretary ​ Minutes of the April 29, 2020 Board Meeting ​ President Lyn Swonger called the meeting to order at 11:00AM, April 29, 2020. All Board members were acknowledged as being present, which included, Lyn Swonger, Mecca Henry, Frank Tewell, Neil Morehead, Jerry Drost and Tony Tramel. Larry Keller was also present as an observer. No amendments to the proposed Agenda were considered by president Lyn Swonger. Lyn requested the minutes of April 22, 2020 be read by Tony Tramel. After the minutes were read aloud, a motion to approve them as read was made by Mecca Henry and seconded by Tony Tramel, the motion passed unanimously. A second motion by Mecca Henry to approve the February 18, 2020 meeting was made, this meeting had two segments; the 2020 Annual Board Meeting, where the results of the election were announced, and the first Board meeting of the newly elected members for 2020. The Board took some time to read the provided minutes for the February 18, 2020 Board meeting, and the Board approved the Minutes as submitted. Copies of the approved minutes for each of the meeting dates are attached and made part of the minutes for the April 29, 2020 meeting. Tony Tramel inquired if Jerry Drost and Neil Morehead had taken the Board members Oath of Office, and completed the required statement with their signature pledging they would, (as identified in Section 4.02 of SEPO’s Bylaws, page 3 of 11); ​ “I, ____________________ will faithfully discharge the duties of the Board of Directors of Sunshine Estates Property Owners, Inc., and will to the best of my ability uphold and follow the Covenants, By-Laws, Conditions, and Restrictions of Sunshine Country Club Estates, so help me God.” ​ “This executed Oath of Office, shall be keep on file at our office, for a period of 2 year past the end of service as a Director.” Both Neil Morehead and Jerry Drost indicated in the affirmative they each had executed the required pledge and provided the original to SEPO’s office prior to the Board meeting. Discussions Mecca reported on her research regarding golf cart trail fees. A summary of her findings was presented to the Board and is shown in the summary table which follows, showing the amount of funding collected for Golf Cart Trail Fees, and expenses associated with concrete Golf Cart paths, from 2003-2020: ​ Summary of Collected Trail Fees and Expenses for 2003-2020 ​ Currently the total Trail Fees collected from 2003 through the date of this report is almost $47,000. It should be noted this fee could be considered a “User” type of fee. If you do not drive your golf cart on the golf course, no Trail Fee is needed or collected. Only if you “use” the golf cart trails, do we require a Trail Fee payment. Approximately $10,800, has not yet been used for the purpose intended. The Golf Trail segments where no concrete pathways existing include: Number 1 fairway, from tee box to existing pond bridge Number 3 fairway, from tee box to number 4 tee box, and Number 4 fairway, from tee box to the existing cart path, leading to Indiana Circle Mecca Henry indicated it took some time to verify the expenses, because in at least one prior budget year, the expenses for this effort were not clearly identified. Lyn Swonger stated he has consistently marked / annotated the related expenses for golf trails and he will continue this practice. Funds that remain in this account should be carried forward in each budget year for construction and maintenance of the concrete pathways pursuant to current Board Policy and Procedures. Neil Morehead asked if the trail fee would be eliminated once the concrete paths are completed. Lyn indicated maintenance will still be needed. Since this issue is part of the Board Policy and Procedures, the Board can set any new and / or revised policies to address this matter in the future. Mecca indicated our current budget document did not identify the revenue for trail fees to be carried forward as currently described in the Board’s Policy and Procedures. Mecca intends to consult with our CPA firm to identify these Trail Fee revenues and related expenses and account for them in accordance with accepted accounting principles and practices. She indicated a journal entry most likely will need to be made, in order to provide documentation regarding this oversight in carrying the Trail fees forward when the 2020 Budget was prepared, and also to continue this practice in accordance with the Board’s adopted Policy and Procedures. Tony Tramel moved to accept Mecca Henry’s report on Trail Fees and authorize her in consultation with SEPO’s CPA firm to make the necessary budgetary adjustments consistent with accepted accounting practices. Motion was seconded and approved unanimously. Mecca Henry also reported the budget sheets provided to her, and which she has published, and the 2020 Budget document presented by Mark Owen, do not match. There were two expense line items lines that were not put into QuickBooks, which is our accounting bible. Two project type expenditures; concrete trail construction of $6,000, and $2,400 for LED lighting type improvements for the buildings within Michigan Circle, needs to be included under QuickBooks line item as “Other”, in our 2020 Budget. Each Director has the funding, it is just split a little differently, when the April financials were posted at the end of the month. Mecca Henry will notate those two lines in the budget and provide the documentation concerning these two projects. The Budget is not changed, the entry of all the 2020-line items was not verified before Mecca assumed her position as Treasurer. Mecca also asked if someone could report on when or if the Board approved the 2020 Budget, as she could not find anything in the minutes approving same. She voiced her concern that nothing official was in the 2019 Minutes of the Board, regarding approval of the 2020 Budget. Both Lyn Swonger and Frank Tewell verbally reported the 2020 Budget document had been approved by the prior Board in a meeting, and it must have been an oversight in not reporting the approval of the 2020 Budget in the minutes. Based upon those statements, which Mecca Henry is relying upon, she indicates she would provide monthly financial reports as noted per her discussions and presentation. Mecca Henry presented the following Treasurers report to the Board. ​ Board Review of Potential LED Lighting for Texas Avenue ​ Tony Tramel presented material related to potential options for street lighting for Board discussion for Texas Avenue. He explained that before taking the position of Secretary he had been assigned the Directorship which included streets, common ground, and Texas Avenue. While in this first week of assignment, he inventoried several potential improvements that might be considered for projects. One of them was to determine if the Board might consider changing the daytime, and more importantly the nighttime appearance of Texas Avenue. Obviously, this central entrance sets the tone for Sunshine Estates Country Club impression for visitors and our residents. He indicated, this hopefully open discussion, was in no way a criticism of how we got here, regarding street lighting on Texas Ave. Tony Tramel felt the look of Texas Avenue at night could be called the Lowes or Home Depot of lights. Adequate but not modern, or attractive to the eye. He indicated he had found a LED downward facing light fixture, that appealed to him and was seeking feedback about the potential use of these type fixtures. There are total of 24 fixtures on Texas Avenue, with 4 of these fixtures located outside our gates. A copy of the product information sheets was provided to each of the Board, and follows: ​ Potential LED Lighting for Texas Avenue - Submitted to Board These 60-watt fixtures would replace, the 150-watt bulbs used in the 24 existing lights, which represents a significant cost saving, (estimated to be approximately $1,200 per year for all 24 lights based on an assumed rate of $.12 / kWh). Additionally, Tony Tramel proposed we could “try out four of these fixtures” outside the gate so we could see what they look like and evaluate them. If this Board decided they did not like them, or if the Community did not like them, we could easily remove the light fixtures and send them back, as these light are listed on Amazon, and they allow free returns. By using this technique, we have little or no risk in trying something Tony felt would be enhancement to the quality of life and environment of SEPO. Lyn Swonger, said, “I think the existing light is a good light”. He indicated the Memorial Committee had paid for those lights and they were installed in June 2015, and he already had one person indicate they did not want to see any change. This led to discussion where, Tony Tramel continued to advocate, this project, or for that matter all capital- intensive projects should be determined by a positive consensus of the Board during budget preparation and or when presented to the Board. Currently the Director responsible for Texas Ave, Neil Morehead, has complete and total authority to decide, what if anything, using budgeted SEPO funds can be expended on Texas Ave. Tony Tramel maintains there is a need for the entire Board to discuss projects and build consensus regarding this proposal. When others asked Neil what he thought, and also saying, “it is Neil Morehead’s decision” it became apparent, there would be no Board consensus on this proposal. Neil Morehead indicated he thought the light was a good light but was not a $130 worth light. He indicated he is only here until the end of the year and he does not want to get involved in any project that has to be left for someone else. Neil Morehead noted each of the 24 light fixtures are being repainted and re- connected to the vertical pole to provide a better appearance, and LED light bulbs will replace the current incandescent bulbs as time allows by our SEPO employees. He indicated that he thought 4 of the lights had new LED lightbulbs. Tony Tramel indicated he was aware of this effort, however, if one were to move towards the LED streetlights, we would not be using staff time to repair our existing lights fixtures, if we choose new equipment. Tony Tramel indicated he was amazed at how the Board reacted to this proposal to try 4 fixtures outside the gate considering: There is no financial risk. The fixtures look modern and clean. The light generated by the fixtures is aimed at the ground where it is needed, rather than 360 degrees. We get a trial period, to try them out, before deciding on their suitability, and acceptance. The change from 150 to 60 watts for each fixture saves significant money in power cost, estimated to be enough such that this saving in 2-3 years would pay for the cost of the proposed LED fixtures. The lights have a 5-year warranty. SEPO residents could be surveyed and / or they could provide comments during the trial period. If the Board or Community does not like the new look and light color, one can return to our existing fixtures, and The initial proposed project would only include 4 fixtures, with a maximum financial cost of $500 or less. There was not a single positive feedback / discussion by the Board regarding this proposal. Tony Tramel indicated to the Board he had strong feeling regarding this matter, and he offered the Board another proposal. He offered to personally pay for the 4 lights outside the gate, have them installed, and the Board and the Community could decide within 2-3 weeks of their installation if they liked them or hated them. If it was determined the Board did not like them, then he would replace the existing Home Depot type fixtures to the 4 lights outside the gate, and we would remain as we are today. He asked for the Board to consider this request. Jerry Drost indicated he thought the LED light fixtures would provide a very crisp light and the light would be directed where it needs to be onto the ground rather into space. Jerry Drost thought the light was a great design for Texas Avenue. Tony Tramel then inquired, if someone on the Board in general, could identify what specific items are programed to be used in the 2020 budget for the $5,500 identified for Texas Avenue. Frank Tewell responded, “that is an extraordinarily strong question!” Tony Tramel responded he thought it was in fact a very fair one, as he did not know what was planned or programmed for the $5,500 identified for Texas Avenue. The Board failed to respond in any positive way to either of the proposals provided concerning potential change in lighting for Texas Avenue, and Tony Tramel dropped the discussions other than he would like to continue the pursuit of this request. He asked the Board members to work together in building better communications and consideration of other ideas to provide what is best for our SEPO community. ​ Unfinished Business ​ Tony Tramel indicated for the record; Lenore Combs had withdrawn her request for $1,000 from SEPO to purchase a replacement golf cart for Neighborhood Watch services. It appears she was able to define an alternate means of securing sufficient funding without SEPO assistance, through outreach and private donations. Therefore, no further discussion for this item is needed under Agenda item Unfinished Business. Under other Unfinished Business it was indicated we would have more discussions about use of Lyn Swonger’s personal golf cart while acting as the Director responsible for the golf course. Lyn indicated the point Mecca noted at last meeting, that Lyn Swonger could use one of the maintenance golf carts when providing duties supervising the golf course. Lyn Swonger indicated this is the course of action he is now using. Discussion about how SEPO should respond to the Covid-19, the Texas governor’s and Cameron County’s restrictions would be implemented. The consensus was to take a wait and see approach, use good judgement and social distancing, and to also protect our own employees as well. There were no recommended changes to our current restrictions that were in place on the date of the meeting, other than opening the Woodshop. It was decided later that restrictions in the Woodshop would include social distancing, masks and a maximum occupancy of 7 persons. We agreed a review of our current and future changes would be addressed in future Board meetings. Frank Tewell indicated the Library was open on weekends so persons could gain access there for library resources, board games and puzzles, which have become popular r. It was decided Tony Tramel would prepare a draft Board release for Frank Tewell and others to review, and/or comment, and once it was in writing we would publish SEPO restrictions out via an Email blast and post signing, and we also agreed we would adjust as needed in the future. Jerry Drost then inquired about what expenses he should, or might anticipate, in the storage shed area. It was indicated Mecca would provide him a condensed version of the prior year budget to see what was historically spent in this area. Weed poison was identified as a major cost for this large graveled area. Other related discussion included there were about four times a year 120,000 lb. heavy trucks delivering golf course sand, and some discussion about paving a portion of the storage area, even though it most likely is not very practical or economical to consider. ​ Filling of Vacant Board Position ​ Mecca Henry asked Lyn Swonger if he was going to discuss the above referenced agenda item he had requested about the filling of the Board President position. He indicated it would not be discussed as it was not the right time, therefore no discussion took place. A motion to adjourn the meeting was made and approved at 11:58 AM.

The discussion revolved around the current condition of the cart and options which might be available to repair / replace Neighborhood Watch cart. It was determined there were too many unanswered questions before the Board could act on the request. The board asked that Lenore obtain written proposals for a new golf cart, and have Frank obtain information regarding prior maintenance. A tentative Board meeting was scheduled for next Wednesday, April 29, 2020 to resolve this matter. ​ Lyn Swonger requested consideration for naming Jerry Drost to the Board, who would responsible for Area 3, Storage & Shop Area, Shuffleboard, & Tennis Court. Neil Morehead moved to nominate / accept Jerry Drost for that position on the Board and was seconded by Tony Tramel. Said motion passed unanimously. Jerry was welcomed to the Board. A formal swearing in will occur at the next Board Meeting, noted above as being scheduled for next Wednesday, April 29, 2020. ​ Lyn Swonger noted Golf Cart Trails / pathways have been recently completed from tee box 5 to number 9 green. Funding for these improvements comes from the annual $25 per cart fee. Researching this matter after the meeting, it was determined that on page 5 of 8, Item 8 of the adopted Boards Policy and Procedures, the following is provided: ​ “18. All Trail Fees collected will be placed in a designated fund for golf trails (concrete paths) and not be placed in the general funds. Such funds will be strictly used for maintenance or installation of new golf trails.” ​ There was significant discussion about how this funding has been handled in SEPO budgets over the years. Mecca indicated she would review the historical records and provide a report at the next meeting and provide recommendations for Board action, if needed. ​ Jerry Drost asked if the storage lot fees should be limited to improvement in the storage area. It would appear those fees are not restricted to that use; these fees would be general fund revenues. ​ Motion by Tony Tramel to approve the minutes as provided at the meeting; to approve and accept the minutes provided / submitted to the Board as published on SEPO Web site for Board Meeting of March 9, 2020, which is provided HERE . ​ Board voted to approve the minutes unanimously. ​ New Business ​ Neil Morehead asked consideration for SEPO to provide a golf cart for the Director in charge of the Golf Course for his use in carrying out his SEPO duties. This was prompted because Lyn has used his “new” golf cart for significant hours in conducting his duties. Options considered, was some form of “mileage compensation”, maintenance paid for personal cart, etc., however, there cannot be any compensation to Board members. SEPO has an extra golf cart, and therefore, could be used by Lyn rather than his personal golf cart. It was decided to place this item in unfinished business to be discussed at next Board meeting, again scheduled for Wednesday, April 29, 2020. ​ Mecca briefed members that once a monthly financial report has been provided, one cannot change those reports after they are published. Apparently, a request was made to change an expense line item more than a month after the monthly financials had been closed. Expense items assigned to an incorrect expense items are legitimate adjustment; however, it must be made in the following month(s) report. A journal entry will be needed to acknowledge these types of changes. No adjustments / reassignment of expenses or revenues can be made retroactively. Mecca will document these type of journal entries when needed. Frank Tewell indicated he could not find a line item that he had submitted for the current year project to do LED lighting in Retzlaff Hall. Mecca indicated she would look at this matter and report at the next meeting. Jerry Drost requested that the shop area be improved to make it look more professional. Lyn responded that several residents have decided to “drop off” miscellaneous items, which occurs two or more times a week. It was pointed out that Harlingen residents can dispose of up to 500 lbs. of trash at the Harlingen Landfill each month, if they bring proof that they pay Harlingen utilities, (i.e. a copy of their water bill). Other solutions offered were locking the gate, video surveillance, signs, emails, etc. This issue will be followed up in next meeting, to see if it is a real problem and / or options under unfinished business. Tony Tramel requested that descriptions of “projects” for next year’s budget be developed so every Board member can see the requests. Once compiled each project can be presented by the responsible Director, so that they can be discussed, reviewed, receive comments and the Board will be aware of each project so it can be prioritized for inclusion in next year’s 2021 Budget year. Tony Tramel also volunteered to help in this effort by leading this financial programming / planning request. Meeting was adjourned 11:25AM.

Minutes of the Meeting of the Board of Directors March 18, 2019 President Richard Shelton convened the Board Meeting at 1:00 PM. You may lose the Facebook video feed in a few minutes because of a problem with routers. We are working with a computer specialist to correct this situation. ​ Members of the Board present: Richard Shelton, Lyn Swonger, Frank Tewell, Mark Owen, John Chajec, Clint Wunderlich. ​ Minutes of the Last Meeting: Richard Shelton moved that we dispense with the reading of the minutes from the last annual meeting, as they have been posted in the office. Seconded and approved. ​ Treasurers Report: Mark Owen - Mark stated he was working on reformatting the financial statements to make it easier for future board members to understand, changing the expense statements to a monthly vs. a yearly format and making adjustments to the financials per audit committee suggestions. ​ No financial statement available until the accountant completes the 2018 income taxes. Committee Reports: Architectural Committee: Jim Kennedy was questioned at the Architectural meeting about the impact, if any, the failed covenant change had on fences. Dick Shelton explained that the covenant ballot was a clarification of the existing covenant. The covenants remain the same as before the vote. ​ Dick Shelton assured the committee that the procedure for Architectural request remains the same as in the past. If the ACC refuses to approve a request, it may then be taken to the board by the homeowner and becomes the board responsibility. ​ Neighborhood watch: Lenore Combs – Front gate code change is still a problem because Alamo Door had not responded to their request for assistance. ​ A new light and camera was installed at the entrance to Encore. Per agreement SCCE will reimburse some expenses, no dollar amount was given at this time. ​ Note will be sent to HFD and EMT’s, as requested, notifying them we have an AED. Lenore requested reimbursement of $90 for red envelopes and printing to replace the Vial of Life. Board approved reimbursement. ​ Vendor tags – It is the homeowners responsibility, not SEPO, to make sure the contractors have proper insurance and qualification. Homeowner will then give Lenore the necessary information to obtain Vendor tags from her. Director’s Reports: Common Grounds I – Frank Tewel - TV’s have been installed in Retzlaff Hall. Some exercise equipment is not working and parts have been ordered. AC in Reztlaff Hall is still having problems due to bad breakers and they will be changed. Painting in central area will begin in about a month. ​ Common Grounds II – Clint Wunderlich - Clint is investigating Indiana Circle and other street repairs and has not gone out for bids yet. Common Grounds III – Jerry Utterback - In Jerry’s absence, Lyn Swonger presented Jerry’s plan to improve the shuffleboard area by adding a brick and mortar fence 70’ length and 24” high with a bid coming in at $3150, or vinyl fence 70’ in length x 36” high at $3320. Mark and Lyn did not think we needed it. John disagreed stating we have a $6000 budget for improving the existing shuffleboard court area. It was decided but no action will be taken without his presence. ​ It was also determined that while the shuffle board court can be renovated with the existing budget of $6000, its usage cannot be changed. This is due to the board failing to get resident approval per our bylaws. ​ Golf Course – Lynn Swonger - Golf course equipment is in good shape. This summer, Lyn plans redoing the 4 remaining tee boxes and making a few of the sand traps smaller. He is going to replace the concrete trails that need repair on hole #2 and extend on #7 from the existing path to meet up with the one by the green. ​ New Business: ​ Pickup truck. It was decided to purchase a pickup truck vs. leasing. $1 million liability policy for a year is $1038, included in that amount is $111 for adding the pick up to our $2 million umbrella policy. Thus we have $3 million liability coverage. ​ Suggestion Box: #1 – no more information meetings. Per our covenants, we are required to have 2. It was decided that January and February, due to the election, will be the only info meetings next year. ​ #2 – It was suggested we have a person oversee the use of Retzlaff Hall involving a signed, written agreement in place to prevent theft, damage and condition of the hall and its belongings. ​ #3 – The Hopfner’s speed bump request was denied by the board, and they submitted a letter stating any bills they incur to their property due to flooding and traffic will be submitted to SEPO board for full refund. Dick Shelton responded that SEPO is not responsible for damages and will not be refunding any costs incurred due to this situation. Adjourn: The meeting was adjourned at 1:55 P.M. ​ Respectfully submitted, John Chajec SEPO Secretary ​ ​ ​ ​ ***************************************************************************** Sunshine Estates Property Owners, Inc Minutes of the Annual Meeting February 19, 2019 At 1:00 today Jean Lawrence convened the annual meeting. The residents gathered to form a quorum, and Mr. McEvoy declared that we indeed had a quorum. We reconvened at 3:00pm for our meeting and the results of our election that will fill three positions. Debbie Robins moved that we dispense with the reading of the minutes from the last annual meeting, as they have been posted in the office for the last year. Seconded and approved. Our directors gave us a break down of all that they accomplished in the last year. Common Grounds I-Pat Harvey What got done: 1.) Front gate mechanics and wiring. We replaced the Breaker Boxes and most of the wiring in the area. We also replaced the mechanics which move the gate back and forth. We installed a new wireless keypad, a new sensor in the street and siren operated opener for emergency vehicles. 2.) Traffic Study- In response to the request for speed bumps a radar traffic study was performed. The results, and readings were analyzed by a fully licensed professional and those recommendations were followed. There is more that could have been done in marking the intersection but I leave that to my successor. In addition we now have 3 “NO WAKE” signs to be deployed during the next 16 inch rain event. What did not get done: Indiana Circle. Estimates became more than what was budgeted to do the job well-Rather than spend money on a half hearted job- nothing was spent in 2018 but the budget in 2019 should be adequate to do the job right. There had been 2 half hearted attempts earlier with poor results. My Real accomplishment: It was in early April that the board made a change in employee assignments. The golf course went from three down to two male employees and the third male employee was assigned to groundskeeper duties. That freed the golf course employees from the distractions of day to day odds and ends. Lalo was assigned as grounds keeper and I was his new boss even though he serviced two other board members as well. Most of you have noticed ho much better the grounds have looked this season. This was the subject of discussion of the most recent Birding and Nature club meeting. A envelope was given to Lalo as recognition of a job well done! Common Grounds II Dick Shelton 1.) New AC unit in Retzlaff Hall 2.) New pool pump; cleaned and repaired pool 3.) New gate between pavilion and pickle ball court 4.) sealed pavilion area Common grounds III Clint Wunderlich 1.) Put two drains in for flooding, made sure weeds were sprayed with Lalos help. 2.) Kept track of lots with Valerie 3.) Irene did the work on the memorial garden; I helped as needed. 4.) Set up appointments with Alamo for repairs of the storage gate. Date to be determined. 5.) Still available in the storage lot: 1 lot with shed, 2 small pull thru lots and 1 trailer lot. 6.) Working on ideas for re-vamping part of the shuffle board courts.

Motion carried. ​ Terry Lacy from the Architectural Committee has requested that Kathleen Sumner; a year-round resident, be appointed to the committee. Motion approved and carried. ​ Neighborhood Watch meeting will be on the 19th of February. ​ Special request to speak at the board meeting: 1.) Mr. Lawrence brought up the problems regarding the memorial committee. As it stands, the only way a resident would get into the memorial book would be to have someone donate in their memory. We think that everyone who passes away should appear in it. It was left that Jean Lawrence would speak with Eileen Anderson, President of women’s club. ​ 2.) Debbie Robins has asked for approval to install two TVs in the Hall. The units will be used for our enjoyment! It will not be used for personal use. It will be used for group functions where everyone is invited. ​ 3.) Lenore Combs She spoke about the gate code change. (You can find the new code in the 'Resident's Only' section of the Web site. She educated us about the envelopes that can be purchased where you can record all your vital info for both human and pets. She will fill us in with more details at the women’s club meeting. Lenore also brought up the topic of communication in regards to the donated benches. ​ 4.) Bob Salmon of 4304 Montana brought up the problem of the stop signs. He would like them all removed at the corner of Montana/Texas/Minnesota. He also said that he can not see past the trees on that corner, but it was measured and the tree in question is 14 feet from the corner and 8 feet from the curb. ​ COMMON GROUNDS I - PAT HARVEY: 1.) Replaced rusted Stop sign post on the corner of Minnesota and Texas Ave. 2.) Constructed 3 'No Wake' signs, and came in under budget. ​ COMMON GROUNDS II - DICK SHELTON: 1.)

The project on #4 came in under budget. 2.) Lyn will produce a rental agreement for the board regarding the truck. ​ President Jean Lawrence has asked our employees to be at the 3:00 Annual meeting on February 19th for recognition. We have decided that it would be in Valerie’s best interest that she attend the board meetings. This will help her in her everyday decision making and communication with all residents and board members. ​ A motion was brought to the floor regarding Donations to SEPO… ​ Donations to SEPO: When an individual, committee or organization purchases “something” for SEPO, then ownership becomes SEPO’s unless explicitly noted otherwise. Once accepted by SEPO (either explicitly of implicitly), future maintenance, usage, replacement or removal will be SEPO’s responsibility and expense. If SEPO has ownership, the board will have sole discretion for it's usage and whether replacement or removal is in SEPO interest at that time. There is no guarantee of replacement. If ownership remains with the donor, then future maintenance, usage, replacement and removal will be the owner’s responsibility and expense, however, SEPO may request its removal at any time for any reason or no reason. ​ This motion was approved and passed. FROM THE SUGGESTION BOX: 1.) It was suggested that the library needs a little sprucing up! The office area is so bright and cheery, and we would like to see the same brightness added to the walls in the library. ​ 2.) It was asked to have a larger cork board installed for the “homes for sale”. ​ 3.) There was a comment regarding the C.A.R.E program, and that question will be answered at the next meeting when we all vote on it. ​ 4.) There was a suggestion that Michigan Ave become a one way circle. ​ Meeting was adjourned at 2:30 ​ Respectively submitted, Debbie Robins SEPO Board Secretary Back to Top ***************************************************************************** Sunshine Estates Property Owners, Inc Minutes of the Meeting of the Board of Directors January 7, 2019 ​ President Jean Lawrence convened the Board Meeting at 1:00 pm. ​ All members of the Board were present. ​ The minutes of the December 10th meeting were presented they were moved and seconded as approved. Motion carried. ​ John Chajec shared the financial reports and they were moved and seconded as approved. Motion carried. Clint Wunderlich motioned to have our “CD fund” of $254,917.34 to be labelled as a “Reserve Fund”. The motion was moved and seconded by Pat Harvey. Motion carried. Meaning that the monies in the reserve fund can only be used for replacing a building, fixing roads or any major repair. It can not be dipped into for regular operating expenses. Please visit www.sunshinecountryclub.com/residents-only for total financial reports for 2018 bank totals as of 12-31-2018 and the SEPO over budgeted accounts. ​ John Chajec was complemented on a job well done with transparency and all his hard work. ​ Committee Reports nothing to report. Special requests to speak at the board meeting: Myra Boykin spoke again about her problem with her fence being built on the easement. Pat made it perfectly clear that the fences that are on the golf course now will be taken down when they decide to sell their home. Myra was told if she lived in her home for the next twenty years she could keep her fence, BUT, because she is selling her home now, the fence will need to be taken down. Jean reminded Myra that the board is standing on our decision. We have taken an oath to uphold the Bylaws and covenants. ​ Hal Hophner presented the info on the gate. A sticker in the windshield will be read and the gate will open. We will not need a new gate, just the computerized system and a cell box. Maintenance is done by computer. Everyone will have their own number assigned to their home so that people can look you up in the directory. There will be a gentleman come to the information meeting on the 8th of January to answer any questions we may have. ​ DIRECTORS REPORTS By Laws and Covenants: Pat Harvey has put forth an amendment to clean up the wording so that there will not be any more problems with the “FENCE” issue. The amendment to the ACC section B of the covenants will state…”No fence will be constructed or maintained within the rear yard or side yard setback or easement for any lot whose rear yard abuts the golf course”. Remember that this is only for homes that abut the golf course. Motion moved and seconded to amend the wording to ACC section B of the covenants. Motion carried. ​ Treasurer - John Chajec: Please see www.sunshinecountryclub.com/residents-only for up to date financial reports and 2018 over budget accounts. ​ Common Grounds 1 - Pat Harvey: Pat spoke about the speed bumps and stop signs. He mentioned that golf carts are the culprits. Generally speaking we all need to slow down. The board has approved a three way stop at Minnesota/Texas Ave/ Montana. Debbie Robins believes the speed/and stopping problem comes from Minnesota, and would like a three way stop on both sides of Minnesota where Michigan joins. There will also be three “NO WAKE” signs (Texas Ave, Montana and Minnesota) that will be put out in the middle of three streets during times of heavy rain. A full time resident will be responsible for putting the signs in place in the middle of the street. The cost would be aprox 200-300 dollars. Jean will be contacting the irrigation people regarding the south side drainage. If there were a box culvert in there the water would drain away faster. We can not be restricting the water. ​ Common Grounds II - Dick Shelton: Dick is looking into getting an extended warranty for the new air system. ​ Common Grounds III - Clint Wunderlich: Clint still has a couple of spots open in the back area for those of you needing space. ​ Golf Course - Lyn Swonger: The ball washers are painted and repaired; new flags and towels are now being used. ​ From the Suggestion Box There was a question regarding Resaca water. Just to let everyone know that we are charged by the acreage and by how many spigots we have, not by the usage. Who’s responsibility is it to open Library on the weekends? Usually one door is open, feel free to call a board member if the library is locked. There has been another request for a wall of honour to honour our veterans of war and other service members. Jean will be contacting you to get that going. ​ We will have a busy day at our Annual meeting. As you all know we have three positions to be filled on the board this year. The nominating committee, Buzz Sawyer, Mari Tennant and Vince Smith have fulfilled their duties and have brought three candidates to the floor. Grace Clark Sandy Gades Mark Owen ​ During the meeting we had 7 nominations from the floor, they are as follows. 1.

Not present was John Chajec. The Minutes of the last Meeting of November 12,2018 were approved and all were in favor of this approval. A conversation took place regarding the replacement of three Board openings. Buzz Sawyer is head of the Nomination Committee and will be contacting you! Please lend him and ear and take this opportunity to apply. We need new people. Jean made sure that people knew that just because a position is up for grabs doesn’t mean that you will fill it. There will be a meeting of all the Board members to decide who will take on what position, and that could mean that the duties may change. Chuck McEvoy has accepted the position on the Election Committee. SPECIAL REQUESTS TO SPEAK AT MEETING 1. Myra Boykin has requested to have her letters to be posted on SunshineCountryClub.com web site, under the owners info tab. She feels that all property owners names should be listed too. 2. Hal Hophner would like to see speed bumps placed on Texas Ave and Minnesota St. His water damage was caused by waves of water, people driving to fast through the water. A three way stop was talked about too. Three sets of speed bumps were requested, Hal is going to gather all info and forward it to Jean so that we can make a sound decision. 3. Hal Hophner and Mel Wendel spoke about the front gate. The Question was asked, Why do we have a closed gate to protect the sheds and motor homes where the work shop is, while we have three hundred homes that are not gated. Hal and Mel have three different gate systems. They educated us on the options. Hal and Mel will narrow it down to one option; present it to the board and come up with a game plan to educate SSCC home owners. DIRECTORS REPORTS COMMON GROUNDS 1 -Pat Harvey The Carved Log on Texas Ave has been removed, a committee of the Bird and Nature Club is considering what to put in it’s place. A sump pump for Minnesota ditch has been replaced this past month. Please take the time to see if your sprinklers are over watering, this would be so helpful. We purchased a normal walk behind mower for use in places that the larger mowers can’t. Lastly, the visible water along Texas Ave has disappeared!!!!!!! COMMON GROUNDS II -Dick Shelton The New air unit in Retzlaf hall is up and working. COMMON GROUNDS III -Clint Wunderlich He is looking for two spots for sheds. Myra Boykin has volunteered her spot and is willing to move their motor home to another spot. GOLF COURSE -Lyn Swonger We purchased a box blade for $600. Found the problem on #2, and put in a drain. TREASURE -John Chajec John sent out his financial report and it was approved and carried. He also sent out a covenant change to be approved by the board and placed on a ballot for the Feb 2019 meeting. The change is as follows: When this covenant was created, $45 was a 15% increase in the $300 maintenance fees. All covenant changes require a 2/3 majority vote of all lots, one vote per owner to pass. A non-vote is a “NO” vote. Covenant SECTION 4.3 ANNUAL ASSESSMENT ​ Proposed covenant changed: The annual assessment may be increased each year by not more than 5% of annual maintenance fees per year. Any such possible increases in assessments shall be non-cumulative. In any year following a year when there has been no increase, the assessment may not be increased by more than 5%. The annual assessment may be increased each year by not more than 5% per year. CURRENT COVENANT: Annual assessment shall be $300.00 payable $25.00 per month. The annual assessment may be increased each year by not more than $45.00 per year. Any such possible increases in assessments shall be non-cumulative. In any year following a year when there has been no increase, the assessment may not be increased by more than $45.00 that year. John has also submitted the C.A.R.E. fee covenant for approval by the board and placed on a ballot for the Feb 2019 election. It is a charge for NEW Purchasers at closing; equal to a year assessment fee, to be put into a capital equipment fund for improvements to the community. The assessment proposal will hopefully pass, we can only go for so long increasing our assessments by 45$ the next boards coming in will run out of money soon. This is one way of getting ahead of inflation and gain ground on funds for future improvement. OLD BUSINESS Each property owner who has a fence on the golf course that isn’t compliant has been sent a letter. Each letter was the same, explaining that if the fence is on the easement it had to be removed. A letter of apology was going to be hand delivered to the Burneys because their fence IS compliant. They also had an approved plan in their file that is in the office. ​ NEW BUSINESS We wish to have Valerie be a Notary Republic, we will purchase the package and pay the monthly fee. SUGGESTION BOX Two suggestions 1) of “new towels” on the ball washers. Lyn mentioned that they will be repairing some of the ball washers and painting them and that new towels are on that list. 2) People would like to see lights in the fountains on 8/9 pond… They do have lights in them, Lyn is looking into the problem. ​ ​ ​ ​ ***************************************************************************** ​ Sunshine Estates Property Owners, Inc.

Not present was Pat Harvey. The minutes from October 22, 2018 were approved. Architectural Control Committee: On behalf of Ina Hillman, Jim Kennedy spoke about how important it is to contact the architectural committee when doing any improvements to the OUTSIDE of your property.

Motion to adjourn John Chajec, seconded by Dick Shelton ​ ​ ​ ***************************************************************************** ​ Sunshine Estates Property Owners, Inc. Minutes of the Meeting of the Board of Directors October 22, 2018 ​ President Jean Lawrence convened the Board Meeting at 1:00 PM. The Members of the Board present were Jean Lawrence, Clint Wunderlich, Dick Parrish, John Chajec, Lyn Swonger and Pat Harvey. Dick Shelton was not present. Purpose: This was the regularly scheduled monthly SEPO Board meeting. Minutes of the Last Meeting: The board had previously been sent the minutes of the following board meetings to review; March 12, 2018 and March 27, 2018 along with the minutes from the executive sessions that followed each of those board meetings. Pat Harvey motioned they be approved. John Chajec seconded the motion. All were in favor of approval. ​ New Business - SEPO Community E-mails : Stan Nelson had informed Jean that due to health issues he would like to turn over the responsibility of managing the SEPO news e-mails to someone else. John Chajec volunteered to take this over and will work with Stan on the transition. John anticipated that this will continue as sepoenews@gmail.com and will include everything currently done. UPDATE: Since the meeting Beth Parrish has volunteered to take over all of Stan’s current responsibilities: Community E-mails, Web site and Facebook. She has contacted Stan and will work him with on the transition during November. Retention Pond – Jim Schaub asked to speak to the board about his concerns relating to the retention pond. He called the area a mosquito ranch. He claimed the retention pond was overflowing in the west fenced area used by pet owners due to the city flushing the hydrants of 320,000 gallons of water a month. The board informed him the primary reason for the flooding was the large amount of rain this summer and that the flushing will be reduced as our residents return and begin using city water. A heated discussion followed with Mr. Schaub accusing the board of causing the problem and the board saying it was due to heavy rains. Concerning Mr. Schaub’s issue with mosquitos in that area – Lyn Swonger said we were putting pods in the retention pond to kill the mosquito larvae. The state of TX has also had traps in the area and have not found any mosquitoes that cause zika, malaria etc. Mr. Schaub was not pleased with the board’s responses. He then accused the board of being anti-pet and left the meeting. UPDATE: After the meeting Pat Harvey met with the "Operations Manager" for Harlingen Water. He said the valve has been closed since June 15th, which means there has been no city water put in the pond for the past 4½ months. Rights of residents who don’t own the home they are living in – The following needs to be reviewed by our lawyers for clarification. - We have a homeowner who doesn’t live in the house she owns but is letting her mother live there. The daughter wrote to the board asking to assign all rights to her mother regarding the property. Per the Covenants the mother already has right to all Estates amenities as if she were a renter. What the daughter is asking is that her mother have the right to make changes to the property via the Architectural Committee. The board does not believe, per our Covenants, that anyone other than the Owner of the property can vote or request changes to the property. The board will follow-up on this with our lawyer, Randy Freeble. This led to a discussion of the fence which the mother requested be put up this summer via the Architectural Committee and was rejected. She appealed the decision to the board. The board also rejected it and subsequently put a moratorium on any new fence requests until the board returned to the Estates this fall and could research the issue. However, the mother put up the fence anyway. The board agreed at the meeting to notify the property owner of their non-compliant property. And following a grace period to Dec. 1, 2018 the owner will be fined $5 per day until the property is brought into compliance. Any unpaid penalty balance at the end of each non-compliant month will be accrued at 18% per annum. As per our Covenants and By-Laws we have the right to put a lien on the property. Pat Harvey made a motion to proceed with the above and Clint Wunderlich seconded it. The motion was unanimously carried. Fences – There was a discussion of other properties that have fences in violation of the Covenants. 4165 N Missouri has a fence which was never submitted to the Architectural Committee for approval. There are two other fences in violation which were previously approved but should not have been. The board decided that in order to not propagate the non-compliant property to an unsuspecting purchaser, the owners must correct the non-compliancy before the property can be sold. We will send a letter to these residents who have non-compliant fences telling them they can keep the fences as long as they are here, but must remove them prior to selling to a new owner. We will not process the paperwork until the fence is removed. Fruit and Unkept Lawns – There were two instances this summer of either fruit on the ground or unkept lawns. Valerie notified Jean and the property owners were each given two weeks to remedy the situation. One was contracted out and the other was done by our employees and the residents were each billed $75. February Board Election – We need new board members in February. The terms of Jean Lawrence and Pat Harvey will be up and there will be an opening as the result of Dick Parrish’s resignation. Jean will see if Mel Wendel will chair the nominating committee again. If not, the board will need to find someone to chair it. Director’s Reports: a. John Chajec – Treasurer : Financial Report - The balances are as follows: Wells Fargo Checking - $58,049.50 (Bills are paid from here) California First National Bank - $30,606.12 (Transfers are made from this Money Market account to Checking) Heritage Bank of Minnesota - $101,989.92 (Jumbo Deposit) First Indiana Bank - $964.73 6 mo CD due in February - $253,668.5. Total Cash Balance - $442,278.78 It was noted that spending is very close to what was budgeted. John has sent out e-mails to all residents on how we are performing to budget on our various accounts. If anyone did not receive those e-mails or has questions they can contact John. The work John has done and continues to do has corrected many of the discrepancies in the accounting in order to help better manage the spending. Overall spending should be within budget for 2018. Clint Wunderlich made the motion to approve the Financial Report through the end of September. Lyn Swonger seconded the motion. It was approved unanimously. 2019 Budget – The board needs to have a budget planning session before the Nov. meeting. It was set for Monday, Oct. 29 at 1 PM in the multi-purpose meeting room. Prior to this meeting John needs to have in writing from each board director any changes in the budget or new equipment not in the 2018 budget. The following are some items the directors are currently aware of. Clint – He has been requested by homeowners to put additional benches in the Tennis/Pickleball courts area. Lyn said Clint could take a couple from the golf course as they have too many. Shuffleboard Courts – The board discussed converting part of the courts to a Bocce Ball court and/or Bean Bag Toss. The remaining shuffleboard court(s) and the sun shades are in need of repair. Clint will start investigating all of this. Lyn - He has a need for several tasks/equipment: Repair four tee boxes for around $5200. A backhoe attachment for the tractor for multi-purpose use. A new greens mower at about $12,000 - $13,000. A new zero-radius mower. (current one is 13 yrs old) Need to increase the electrical budget to reflect what we are actually being charged. Pat – There was discussion about the circular end of Indiana Circle and the need to either repair it correctly ($30,000) or just leave it alone as it will not get any worse. Past due Maintenance Fees - John has sent out notices to a few residents who are past due on their maintenance fees. Per our Covenants an 18% per annum penalty will be charged to homeowners not paying on time. Liens - Two homeowners have been notified of the following; (1) A lien has been placed on one property along with the 18% per annum penalty, (2) There is one additional property which we may place a lien on unless payment is made promptly. b. Dick Parrish – By-Laws & Covenants : Dick reported that everything is current and posted as of this meeting. He has received a couple of Covenant change suggestions for consideration for a vote at the next Annual Meeting. He will pass those questions/suggestions on to whomever takes over his board position. c. Pat Harvey – Common Grounds I: The front gate has a new Gate Operator from Alamo Door. We have a new breaker box and proximity sensor for opening the gate when ‘leaving’ the estates. The silent operator (yelper) is now installed to allow fire and medical vehicles to sound a siren and open the gate. The change to our employees’ work responsibilities has been working very well. The board decided at the end of March to; (1) terminate the contract for mowing ditches, (2) have one of our employees (Lalo) dedicated to common grounds and (3) have only two employees (Manny and Joe) primarily focused on the golf course. d. Dick Shelton – Common Grounds II: Dick was not at the meeting but it was reported that when the pool temperature was turned down slightly this summer from the 92 degree setting, residents complained so it was turned back up. Jean will contact Dick Shelton to see if he has any projects he is contemplating for next year. ​ e. Clint Wunderlich – Storage Lot & Common Grounds III: The flower beds in the Memorial Garden have been completed. One of the drains in the storage lot was repaired to help alleviate standing water. He needs to repair a couple more. Clint had been keeping up with weed control in the storage lot until the recent rains. He will get back to it after the rains stop. Several board members commented on the noticeable improvement. John Chajec asked if anything could be done to reduce the amount of mud drug out of the storage lot by vehicles after it rains. Clint had some ideas and will pursue this. f. Lyn Swonger – Golf Course: The course is in decent shape and four of the tee boxes have been repaired. Manny is studying to take a test in order to obtain a license required by TX to purchase and apply chemicals to kill crabgrass etc. The state has shut us off from purchasing chemicals other than Round-Up. Joe will also take this test. Lalo will need the same study materials in Spanish. The board approved that purchase at the meeting. Low-rise sprinklers have been installed on the north side of #4 fairway to alleviate the problem of the previous sprinkler over-spraying residents’ homes. The big sprinklers were moved in 60 feet from the property lines. The three affected property owners agreed to pay for half the cost, which was $100 per resident. The same thing was done on #6 and the resident split the cost. A walk-behind weed eater was purchased for $300. It is much faster for trimming around curbs, ditches etc. Some landscaping and sprinkler work was done around the putting greens. The stone wall was rebuilt and solar lights were added along the path to the #1 tee. g. Jean Lawrence – President: Jean conveyed to the residents via the Facebook livestream that the board had to let one of the employees go this summer due to job performance. All guidelines were followed with three separate letters for things not being done correctly. The board followed the Handbook. Subsequently Joe Castillo was hired in late July to work with Manny on the golf course. 3. Committee Reports: There were no Committee Reports. Architectural Committee - Jean expressed a desire for the Architectural Committee to report on activity from the summer. The board had decided over the summer to place a moratorium on any new fence approvals until it was decided how to proceed with certain requests. We still have some issues in this area. The Architectural Committee will be asked to attend the next board meeting. Neighborhood Watch – Lenore could not make the board meeting but will give her report at the Informational Meeting on Oct. 23. Adjourn: Pat Harvey moved to adjourn and go into executive session. Dick Parrish seconded the motion. The motion was unanimously approved. The meeting was adjourned at 2:50 pm. ​ Respectfully submitted, Dick Parrish SEPO Board Secretary ​ Back to Top Back to Top Back to Top

ROLL CALL was taken. Tony Tramel, Mecca Henry, Lenore Combs, Jean Burgoine and Lyn Swonger were all present in Retzlaff Hall and introduced themselves to the audience. Tony then acknowledged that Beth Parrish and Larry Keller were present via Google Meet. ​ Tony informed everyone that the meeting was being recorded. The recording can be viewed by clicking HERE . AGENDA To meet the 72-hour pre-Board meeting requirement for posting, the ‘amended’ Agenda was sent via e-mail to the community and put on the Sunshine Web site on Sunday, June 6, 2021 @ 4:15 PM CT. It was also posted outside the SEPO office and on the poolside door into Retzlaff Hall on Monday, June 7, 2021 @ 8:40 AM CT. President Tony Tramel asked if there were any amendments or additions to the posted Agenda. MOTION: Mecca Henry moved two items be added and she would like them to be considered individually. 1. The purchase of sod, which has already occurred. 2. The sale of a ‘SEPO owned’ trailer. Beth Parrish seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. ​ PREVIOUS MEETING MINUTES President Tony Tramel asked the board if there were any items to discuss prior to approving the minutes from the May 20, 2021, Board meeting (Attachment 1 in Agenda) . MOTION: Mecca Henry motioned to approve the minutes as presented to the Board. Larry Keller seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. UNFINISHED BUSINESS Item #5 in the Agenda – Tony & Larry: Discussion & Board Approval/Rejection of contract with D&J Site Construction, in accordance with plans, specifications and contract documents noted as Ver11 and summarized in the Exhibit labeled “Sunshine Estate Country Club Summary of 2021 Road Project from D&J Site Construction dated 2021 05 27 (Attachment 2 in the Agenda) , which reflects a total estimated cost of $62,836. Tony reported there were extreme problems with trying to obtain competitive bids for the needed work on W Indiana Circle. Ten sets of plans were sent to various contractors with little to no response. Responses that were received stated the project was either too big or too small for them. Associated General Contractors (AGC) (who have access to 10s of contractors) were then contacted and sent the documents. Even with that exposure, we only received one bid (Rhyner Construction) and it was 50% more than we had allocated for the project. After doing a value engineering exercise to determine how we could reduce the cost of the project, we chose to reduce scope by only doing half of our original plan. We also reduced cost by indicating using ‘removed’ asphalt so it could be recycled into the finished pavement. After asking for bids on the reduced scope, the original bidder, Rhyner Construction, bid $58,312.32 and a new bidder, D&J Site Construction, bid $35.728.60. We then approached D&J and asked if they would consider doing the original scope of the project. They could do that for $49,536, and then also include needed miscellaneous spot repairs of approximately 250 square yards of pavement, primarily on W Michigan Ave, and asphalt crack sealing for a grand total of $62,836. At this point, rather than fielding questions from residents during the Board meeting, Tony indicated he would personally meet with any homeowner on W Indiana Circle and describe any details they wanted to know concerning what this project is about and how it will impact them during the construction timeframe. Larry Keller said there has been a LOT of time, work and consideration put into this effort to get us to this point. In meetings with both contractors, they felt this is being done right and professionally. Jean Burgoine noted the community was extremely fortunate to have Board members with the drive and the education/knowledge to get us here. There has been a great effort and a lot of time exerted and we have educated people working on this subject. We can rely on their guidance. MOTION: Based on what he has seen and in reviewing the contract Larry Keller motioned that the Board move to authorize President Tony Tramel to sign the contract with D&J Site Construction in accordance with the plans, specifications and contract documents. Jean seconded the motion. Board vote was unanimous to approve. Tony will work on getting all insurance and any other miscellaneous items addressed and get the contract signed, hopefully within the next week. ​ NEW BUSINESS A. Item #2 added to Agenda at start of meeting: Mecca Henry – The purchase of sod, which has already occurred. A check was written to an employee to pay for a service provided by that employee’s wife’s company. It was done this way because the wife is not a US citizen and has trouble cashing checks. This is in direct violation of IRS rules. An employee should not receive both a W2 form as an employee and a 1099 Misc form as a contractor for non-employee compensation. Mecca was given this information by our CPA last year and she had passed it on to the Board. If the TWC (TX Workforce Commission) finds out about this, we are going to have to pay taxes and fines on the money paid to the employee for the work done by his wife’s company because we paid it to an employee. The check has already been cashed. At this point we can’t stop it. Mecca’s point in bringing this up is that we can’t ever do this again . We may have to pay a little more upfront for work we need done, but we won’t want to have to pay at a later day for any inappropriate action. Larry didn’t think there was any intention of deception. We have now all been made aware and it should not be done again. Everyone agreed there was no need for any kind of motion. This item is appearing in the minutes as an acknowledgment that the Board has heard Mecca’s statements and that, as a Board, we will do the right thing ongoing. B. Item #3 added to Agenda at start of meeting: Mecca Henry – The sale of a ‘SEPO owned’ trailer. Mecca has been made aware that we have sold a trailer to an individual, Fabian Flores. As this is SEPO property the sale should have been discussed by the Board prior to the sale occurring. Because this has happened in the past does not make it right. MOTION: Mecca Henry motioned that all sales of SEPO assets, whatever their value, should be discussed by the board prior to the sale. Lenore seconded the motion. Discussion - Larry asked if we had an asset inventory. Mecca indicated we do but has no idea if it is accurate. This a project that needs to be undertaken – clean up the list. There was additional discussion on how asset depreciation was calculated and how Mecca goes through SEPO records and also talks with the CPA to determine an asset’s value. Vote - The motion was approved five (5) to one (1) with Lyn Swonger representing the ‘no’ vote. Beth Parrish asked if we needed to approve ‘after the fact’ the sale of this trailer. Lyn Swonger said a new trailer was purchased last year. The trailer being sold needs lots of repairs. However, Lyn thought it was worth more than $400, which is the most that has been offered for it in the past. We still have the trailer in our possession and have received $300 (of the $600 selling price) from Fabian. That money is in the SEPO office. MOTION: Larry Keller moved to approve the sale of the trailer for a sum of $600 and authorize Lyn Swonger to sell it. Jean seconded the motion. The motion was approved five (5) to one (1) with Lenore Combs representing the ‘no’ vote. ​ ADJOURNMENT Larry Keller made a motion to adjourn. The motion passed unanimously.

Roll Call Tony Tramel Jean Burgoine Beth Parrish Mecca Henry Larry Keller Lyn Swonger Lenore Combs Verify the Agenda for this meeting was sent to the community via e-mail, posted on the Sunshine Web site and physically posted in both the SEPO Office and on the door to Retzlaff Hall. ​ Consideration / Adoption of any Amendments to the Posted Agenda for this meeting by Board Members. Review and consideration of approving the May 20, 2021 Board Meeting Minutes (Attachment 1) Unfinished Business Larry & Tony – After seeking out competitive bids for W Indiana Circle and Miscellaneous Asphalt Repairs, we only received one bid from Rhyner Construction, which was approximately 50% over our budgeted amount of $65,000. A value engineering exercise caused us to reduce the scope of the project pertaining to curb replacement by 50% and also permitted the use of recycled material / asphalt to be incorporated into the specifications. A bid for this reduced scope was then solicited from both Rhyner Construction and D&J Site Construction. Rhyner Construction’s bid was $58,312.32 and D&J Site Construction’s was $35.728.60 for the reduced scope. With this knowledge it appeared SEPO could do the full project as originally designed for a cost of $49,536 for W Indiana Circle, provide needed miscellaneous spot repairs of approximately 250 square yards of pavement primarily on W Michigan Ave, and asphalt crack sealing for a grand total of $62,836. It is recommended SEPO enter a contract with D&J Site Construction, in accordance with plans, specifications and contract documents noted as Ver11, and summarized in the attached Exhibit (Attachment 2) labeled “Sunshine Estate Country Club Summary of 2021 Road Project from D&J Site Construction dated 2021 05 27, which reflects a total estimated cost of $62,836. This firm is celebrating its 50th Anniversary. They are qualified and competent contractors. A motion to Authorize the President to take this recommended action is requested. The project is estimated to take 60 days plus or minus. If the Board approves entering a contract for the 2021 Road Projects today and if everything goes well, one might expect construction to commence after the July 4th holiday and be completed within 90 calendar days, which would be the end of September.

Tony then informed everyone who was on Google Meet that the meeting was being recorded. This recording can be viewed by clicking HERE . ROLL CALL was taken. Tony Tramel, Mecca Henry, Beth Parrish, Lenore Combs, Jean Burgoine, Larry Keller and Lyn Swonger were present. Note: Lyn Swonger joined just prior to discussing ‘New Business’. AGENDA To meet the 72-hour pre-Board meeting requirement for posting the Agenda, on May 17, 2021 between 11:45 & 11:55 AM CT the Agenda was 1) sent via e-mail to the community, 2) posted on the Sunshine Web site, 3) posted outside the SEPO office and 4) posted on the poolside door into Retzlaff Hall. President Tony Tramel asked if there were any amendments or additions to the posted Agenda. There were none. PREVIOUS MEETING MINUTES President Tony Tramel asked the board if there were any items to discuss prior to approving the minutes from the March 22, 2021 Board meeting (Attachment 1 in Agenda) . Beth Parrish moved the minutes from the March 22, 2021 meeting be approved. Mecca Henry seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously by all present. REPORTS OF OFFICERS Lyn Swonger - Golf Course Tony reported that Lyn had been inspecting the golf course this morning assessing if there had been any damage as a result of the recent rain. Jean Burgoine (Common Grounds/Maint. Area 1) SEPO Buildings The hot tub heater is down due to a leak. We are getting a new motor for the AC unit in Retzlaff Hall that will cost approximately $2000. The Pavilion area is going to be repainted to help keep people from slipping. This project has been moved up before redoing the showers because of the safety issue. There was a crack in the ceiling in the Billiards Room – Lalo has put spackling over the crack and is waiting for it to dry. Then he will paint it. Larry thought we might be having some ‘settling’ issues in those buildings. Tony indicated we probably want to incorporate this into the discussion of the Capital Improvements program. Larry Keller (Common Grounds/Maint. Area 2) Streets, Drainage & Irrigation Ditches, Texas Ave We have been cleaning up Michigan Ave, particularly burying/removing some of the inappropriate pipes and other items. The front entrance has been re-landscaped. We are trying to adjust the sprinklers around Retzlaff Hall to cut down on the amount of water that is accumulating on Michigan Ave. The Siren Sensor Board at the front gate was causing the gate to hesitate and not close. This board cost $500-$600 to replace. Tony reported that while testing the new board with the technician, it didn’t work properly either. Another new board has been ordered and Tony will test this new one with the technician – hopefully, next week. See Indiana Circle update below. Lenore Combs (Common Grounds/Maint. Area 3) Storage & Woodshop, Tennis/Pickleball & Shuffleboard She thanked Pat Harvey and Vic Hilman for the new can shed shutters and picket fence. She is looking to put a Roadbed in the storage lot – from the gate to the tree debris area. It will be a designated area of “where to drive in and out of the storage lot”. It will protect the individual lot rental areas and keep the lines/ropes designating each lot from needing to be constantly restriped. She is going to look into a product suggested by Larry Keller and work up a spec sheet to present to the board for review and vote. She thanked the SEPO staff for weeding and all the other work they do in the Lot. She is concerned about residents not taking care of their rental lots. There is lots of debris and loose items that need to be cleaned up. Larry asked if residents signed anything when they rented a lot. Beth confirmed there is a one-page Lot Rental Agreement that the residents sign at the beginning of each year. Lenore will get a copy of this form, rework it as needed and present it to the board for review and vote. Harlingen and Combes were upset over the tree debris being dumped in the Storage Lot due to the cost of removing it. It used to be that when a vendor trimmed the palm trees, they would haul the trimmings away. Now they are put in the storage lot. Lenore investigated having them recycled, but it was too costly. She will continue to monitor this situation. John Chajec donated a practice tee net. Lenore is looking for assistance to get it put up. She is still looking into a new Surveillance system(s). The current plan is to do one area at a time – Front first, then woodshop, then antennas, cameras and other areas. Tony has some info that may assist with this effort. Mecca Henry - Treasurer - Financial Status / Reports Mecca need to get Board approval of the Feb, Mar & Apr 2021 financial statements. Larry moved to approve them. Beth seconded the motion. All present approved. Mecca volunteered to provide background material to the directors supporting areas they may not be all that familiar with. She can gather that information at the same time she is creating the budget sheets. Tony hopes to have a special meeting on Budget preparation. Beth Parrish - Secretary Beth has created a OneDrive area where board-related items are being placed. Only those on the board with the link to this area can access these documents. She will be placing the results of the Rules Review Committee there and send everyone the link. Tony Tramel - President Tony is concentrating on resolving issues with residents who are guilty of SEPO Covenant violations. He is of the belief they have all been resolved except one that the Board is currently dealing with. Prior to this meeting the Board was polled (via Google Form) to determine where everyone stood on lifting SEPO Covid-19 restrictions. There were varied opinions. After investigating if the results from such a poll could constitute an official Board vote, it is now Tony’s belief that it does not. The use of this type of inquiry into Board matters will be discontinued. All items requiring a Board vote will be placed on a Board agenda and discussed/voted on at a Board meeting. NEW BUSINESS Board - SEPO & Covid-19 Restrictions (Attachment 2 in Agenda) Lyn Swonger joined the meeting at this point. Everyone who wanted to voiced their opinion on lifting SEPO Covid-19 restrictions. Beth Parrish & Larry Keller – Seeing how things have started opening up around the country they wanted to drop all restrictions. Lenore – People are going to get vaccinated or not. The responsibility is on each individual to take care of themselves. She wants to open everything. Lyn Swonger – Stated there were 11 new Covid-19 cases in Cameron Co today and a total of 128 in May. Although people need to be responsible for themselves, what about non-vaccinated people who may start coming into Sunshine? Jean – Wants to drop all restrictions. Larry made a motion to drop all current Covid-19 restrictions in SEPO previously initiated by SEPO boards. Lenore seconded the motion. Voice Vote was: Lyn Swonger and Mecca Henry – no, Jean Burgoine, Larry Keller, Lenore Combs and Beth Parrish – yes. The motion passed – four to two - effective immediately. Beth will compose an e-mail for Tony’s review that will be sent to the community documenting this decision. Mecca Henry – Reserve Fund Tony indicated we need to have an account designated for the Reserve Fund. Mecca stated the Frost Money Market has $104,000 in it that would accessible as soon as/if needed. Mecca Henry motioned that we designate the Frost MM as our Reserve Fund. Lenore seconded it. The vote was a unanimous yes by acclamation. Lenore Combs – Storage Lot Most of the items in the agenda has already been discussed in Lenore’s status report above. Storage Lot 504 - Women’s Club property: This lot contains two sheds. Lenore needs to get with Marian Young (Women's Club) and Lassey Dahlstrom (who is familiar with many items in the sheds on this lot) to discuss next steps for repairing these sheds to avoid damage and/or theft of items stored inside them. Can Shed (added during meeting): This is not a ‘garbage’ can shed. Residents need to be more diligent about cleaning out their cans (remove food etc) before putting them in this shed. Beth – 4 O’clock Golf Scramble (Attachment 3 in Agenda) The board had previously questioned whether this was a SEPO-sanctioned golf event. Tony found a document describing it – what, who, when etc - but wasn’t sure if it had been previously approved by a Board or if anyone, other than those who gave it to him, had ever seen it. Beth updated it and requested the Board approve it. Due to the start time of this event varying depending on how long it stays light and how hot it is, the following occurred. Jean moved we change the name to the “O’Clockers Golf Group”. Beth seconded it. It was approved unanimously by acclamation. Jean then moved to approve the document, with the name change. Larry seconded it. It was approved unanimously by acclamation. Beth will update the document accordingly and get it distributed to 1) those residents who run/guide this event, 2) the SEPO Office 3) to the community and 4) on the Web site. (See Attachment 1 - Updated document) Tony – Fair Housing Exemption and selection of an HOA knowledgeable attorney. The Rules Review Committee uncovered items related to Fair Housing Act that we currently aren’t conforming to. It appears we need a documented survey method occurring “every two years” or process for gathering certain information. Tony would like to move forward with developing something and getting the rest of the board more involved. We need to find a new attorney in the next month or two as our current one is retiring. He/She needs to at least be knowledgeable (even if not an expert) of HOA laws. How do people know this is a 55+ community? Tony and Larry are proposing we place the following text/numbers at the front entrance, so it reads “A Senior Community (55+)”. Tony and Valerie have come up with a procedure for new residents that are selling or reselling property in order to issue them a resale certificate (which is what occurs and is required by TX RE Law) to document and agree to our Covenants, By-Laws and Policy and Procedures, before they purchase a home in Sunshine Estates. UNFINISHED BUSINESS Lenore – All items had already been discussed. Beth – Employee Handbook Update Clarification (Attachment 4 in Agenda) Only the proposed updates were included in the Agenda. Lenore made a motion to approve the changes. Jean seconded it. Open discussion – Lyn had a problem with two 15-minute breaks, which was an item that had been approved previously during a meeting on March 8, which he had not been able to attend. He said for the past three years, the Golf Course employees had taken a break from 10-10:30 for breakfast and then from 12:30 to 1 for lunch. The discussion ended with Lenore rescinding her motion until this was resolved. The next step is to ensure, if we leave the current handbook as it is (stating two 15-minute breaks) but continue to let the Golf Course employees take them in a 30-minute bundle, as they currently do, that we are in compliance with Federal and State work requirements. Tony suggested 2-3 board members pursue this; put a draft together and send it to the entire board. All handbook updates will then be on the next Board meeting agenda for a vote. Tony – Committee review of Policies, Bylaws, and Covenants The Board will have a special meeting on June 24 (if that day works for everyone) to review the committee’s recommendations and develop an action plan on how/when changes, if there are any, ‘can’ be implemented. Larry & Tony – Current Status of W Indiana Circle bid process We have reached out to several general contractors. One attended a meeting to discuss our proposal. His estimate was much too costly. We then revised what we would like to have done and are still waiting on a new cost estimate. Larry has since found another general contractor that we hope can work with us. When we find someone to do this work, we will report to the board with the details and ask for approval. If not approved, it’s back to the drawing board. At some point during this process the proposal for work to be performed will be presented to those residents who live on W Indiana Circle for review/input. Tony - SEPO complaints and resolution of same Each Thursday, Tony reviews any Suggestion/Complaint forms submitted in the box in the Office and has addressed most of them himself. He agrees with Beth that a formal process for submitting Suggestion/Complaint forms needs to be developed and the community informed of said process. Tony - Committee to develop a 3–5-year capital improvement program. Tony hopes to put together a draft to use to start taking action on this item. Tony – Reinstatement of Golf Trail Fees and date of reinstatement, if approved. There has been some discussion about whether we should re-instate these fees and the corresponding language that would go with them. Jean and Lyn questioned what the fees would be used for. Tony indicated they would be used for trail maintenance and other amenities that would be directly associated with the golf course itself, i.e., landscaping, water pumps, fountains, major irrigation changes. Tony will prepare a report for Board review/vote at the next meeting. Tony & Mecca – Reserve Fund: Was previously discussed. Tony – What is status of ACC updating their process and revising the request form? Tony attended the last ACC mtg as a Board rep. They are in discussions about creating a new submission form that would include why a permit was denied. They are also looking into what the Board can legally do if a resident who has been denied a request continues with the work in spite of it being denied by the ACC. ADJOURNMENT Beth Parrish made a motion to adjourn. Mecca Henry seconded it. The meeting was adjourned at 2:45 PM CT.

The Four O'clock Golf Scramble is open to all Sunshine Country Club Estate residents and renters and their immediate family and guests. This is a shotgun start best ball scramble. Teams and start hole will be determined by a random draw. The number of start holes and team size will be determined by the number of players present. At no time shall any team exceed five players.
