We have had several service calls, thinking each time they have resolved the issues. However, it now appears that the gate has totally failed to respond to the time clock commands. They are now going to upgrade the clock, hopefully this week. Will keep you posted. Larry Keller SEPO Board Sent 2022-02-27: ACTION REQUIRED BY SOME RESIDENTS by End of Day Feb 28: Age Survey - If you have not yet provided the information requested on this form to the SEPO Office, please go to the Office on Monday, Feb 28, at the latest to fill out the form. Or if you can/prefer you can print the form and take it to the Office. As previously stated in one or more Board meetings last year, gathering this Age information is 'Required for HUD exemption of 55+ communities'. The Fair Housing Act prohibits discrimination of various things, including age. In 1995 there was an amendment to a section of this Act allowing exemptions for communities that are age 55+. However, we need documentation that shows the number and percentage of people living here who are 55+. We have started collecting age information during 'New Homeowners’ Orientation, but still lack this data from around 100 owners (at last count). By collecting this data from all Homeowners, if we are challenged by the Federal government, we have the information. Thank you for your cooperation in helping us gather this required information.

Pam Davis Sent 2022-02-23: WANTED: Sunshine Resident Technology Consultant - There are residents in our community who at times needs assistance with issues concerning their computers, pads and phones. I, and a couple other residents, help out when we can. However, I’m pretty much swamped and don’t feel I can continue this on an ongoing basis. Plus, there are some things I'm not much help with. Is there anyone who would be willing to volunteer to help out? If you want to help out, you can reply to sepoenews@gmail.com and I will also be putting a signup sheet in the Library Thu morning. We could probably use 2-3 or more volunteers for assisting with apple versus android, computers, pads, phones and hardware versus software. A few years ago, there was a Computer Club that met every week where you could go to talk about your issues, and hopefully get help with a fix, concerning technology. That might be something someone would be interested in starting up again. Please consider helping out with any or all of the above.

Marian Young Thanks to the other committee members: Eileen Anderson, Sue Swidryk, Lehua Keller, and Pam Lacy Sent 2021-02-02: Mardi Gras: Let's Have a "Follow the Leader" event - MARDI GRAS: FOLLOW THE LEADER 16 FEBRUARY 2021 Mardi – is French for “Tuesday” and Gras means “Fat”. Carnival is another common name for Pre-Lenten festivities because in Latin carnelevarium means to take away or remove meat. Dear Friends, Mark your calendars for Tuesday - 16 February 2021. Our Women’s Club is the sponsor and Eileen Anderson and Marian Young are points of contact. Looking for lots of volunteers and great ideas – contact Eileen at 507 317 0296 and or Marian 719 468 4556. Eileen and Marian can plan a meeting. * This is an initial announcement for this Mardi Gras event – so start forming your ideas and Krewes - do your colors. Prizes will be awarded. Here’s a little history to get you in the spirit. Mardi Gras, is traditionally celebrated as “Fat Tuesday” before Ash Wednesday and is the start of Lent. It is a tradition dating back thousands of years to pagan spring and fertility rights. The first Mardi Gras took place in March 1699 when French explorers landed in New Orleans where they held a small celebration dubbed Port du Mardi Gras. In the decades that followed, New Orleans and other French settlements began marking the holiday with street parties, masked balls and lavish dinners. In 1857, a secret society of New Orleans businessmen called the Mistick Krewe of Comus organized a torch-lit Mardi Gras procession with marching bands and rolling floats setting the tone for future public celebrations. These iconic colors have meaning – Purple is for justice, gold is power and green stands for faith. Since then, these krewes have remained a fixture of the Carnival scene including throwing beads, wearing masks, decorating floats and eating King cake. Let’s add Sunshine to the map!

Karren Amos Sent 2022-04-12: ROCK PAINTING at Sunshine! - TO all: I am trying to see if there's any interest in ROCK PAINTING at Sunshine! It would be a good hobby during very hot periods of time. You do not have to have any previous rock painting, or any painting talent at all. Have you noticed painted rocks by the mailbox entry? I left them for anyone that would want them. They are always gone the next time I go check our mail, and leave another rock. I've received feedback for a couple of the rocks I left there. One is on its' way to WI by a Sunshine resident. If you are interested, please let me know by contacting me per my information below. Depending on interest, or not, I will be providing further details on how this would work. Best days, times, etc. Those that are interested could go to FB Harlingen Rocks to get a glimpse of "painted rocks"! Anyone could enjoy this activity with no previous painting or art experience.

After a week of pumping, the water dropped down in saltiness but leveled out still too high for our use. We have since found a company that uses a type of ground penetrating sonar to find water, and can differentiate between fresh and saline. It can also measure quantity. The plan is to have them start the soundings in the area around the current well, around the end of the September early October. This is relatively new technology for finding fresh water, that has been developed from older technology that locates oil reserves. The intent is to try and locate fresh/less salty water in the area of the current well, to utilize the infrastructure that is already in place.

Change the battery in your remote if its been awhile. - Tom Perrier SEPO Board (Area 2) Sent 2025-09-13: UPDATE: TX Ave Gate - Last Saturday the front gate area appears to have been struck by lightning. It damaged the board in the gate opener, which was covered under warranty (yeah) and replaced. But Hurricane Fence didn’t reprogram the keypad and I didn’t find out that it wasn’t working till late Friday, after they closed. After my email from earlier today I’ve become aware that some people don’t have remotes or their homelink system is not paired with the gate anymore. So I will be leaving the gate open till Monday when I hope to get Hurricane Fence back to fix that issue Also if you have a homelink in your car I can program it to the gate.

The people have been so welcoming and friendly, and we look forward to getting to know “all y’all” better! Your previous Editor for the Newsletter, Beth Parish, has been a Godsend! She has been so helpful and patient with me trying to figure all of this out! Her encouragement has meant the world to me, a person who knows just enough about computer technology to be dangerous.

SEPO Board Nominating & Election Committees For 2022 SEPO Board Election Sunshine Estates Property Owners, Inc., (SEPO) governs Sunshine Country Club Estates (SCCE). (The following information is presented in chronological order within EACH Committee.) Election Committee Activity for 2022 Election Nominating & Election Committees Index Nominating Committee Activity for 2022 Election (In Process) ELECTION COMMITTEE ACTIVITY MMM DD,2022: ?? This section needs to be updated. Election Committee Activity for 2022 Election Nominating Committee Activity for 2022 Election (In Process) NOMINATING COMMITTEE ACTIVITY Sent via SEPO E-News 2021-12-27: SEPO Board Nomination Committee Candidate Announcement - The SEPO Board Nomination Committee, consisting of Cathy Richmond (Chairperson), Jerry Drost, Share Nelson, Kathleen Sunders and Nancy Steele, are pleased to submit the following Candidate names in alphabetic order for the 2022 election of the SEPO Board of Directors. All of the Candidates have been interviewed by one or more Nominating Committee members and were considered by this Committee for nomination based upon their responses to the questions asked of them. We are pleased to announce the SEPO Residents who met the requirements and are in good standing in the Sunshine Estates Community. We encourage the current Board of Directors to include their names in the 2022ballot. The Nominating Committee will make that motion during the January 2022 Board of Directors Nominations meeting. Randy Davis David Fleiner Mark Owen Tony Tramel This list of candidates is currently posted outside the SEPO Office. Please contact Cathy Richmond (Chairperson) with any questions (303)990-2730 Nov 15, 2021: SEPO Board Nominating Committee Roster - The members of the SEPO Board Nominating Committee are made up of: Cathy Richmond (Chair) Jerry Drost Share Nelson Nancy Steele Kathleen Sunders The purpose of this committee is to identify and recommend SEPO Residents who would like to serve on the SEPO Board of Directors. There are three (3) positions to fill for the forthcoming SEPO Board election in February 2022. If you would like consideration and possibly be recommended by the Nominating Committee as a SEPO Board Candidate, please contact any member to set up an interview. Cathy Richmond SEPO Nominating Committee Chairperson Nov 15, 2021: Why Become an HOA Board Member - If you are undetermined as to whether you would like to serve on the SEPO Board, please ask yourself the following: Do you have great ideas about how your community can be managed more efficiently? Would you like to become more involved in your HOA’s daily operations? Do you have the time, dedication, and enthusiasm to regularly volunteer your skills for the benefit of your community? If so, then you’re a perfect Candidate to run for a seat on the SEPO Board of Directors. If you’re still on the fence about whether or not to run, here are three reasons you should take the leap and “Become a SEPO Board member”. You’ll help to protect your investment. Board members are tasked with making important decisions on behalf of the homeowners’ association. These decisions have a major impact on the future of the community. You’ll make your community a nicer place to live. In addition to administrative and operational tasks board members can act to enrich community life through events and activities offered to the residents. You’ll bring valuable skills to the table. Your life skills and interests may be a good fit for the Board. Social skills, hobbies and training you have received all may be used in your role as a Board member to benefit the community. Running for a seat on your Board of Directors is a major decision. Before making a commitment, attend a few Board meetings to get a sense of how they operate. Reach out to current or past Board members and ask about their experiences and what they have learned. Also from them you can get a run-down of what would be expected of you in your new role. If occupying a seat on the SEPO Board of Directors sounds like a fun and challenging opportunity, please reach out to the Nominating Committee and they will assist you with the steps to take to get started.

- 2025-03 Emails | Sunshine Estates
S EPO Community Emails: March 2025 Sent 2025-03-31: MARKET: Homes For Sale or Rent (Weekly Update) - With everything going on last Friday with the Flooding I forgot to send this email. This past week, the following updates were made to Homes for Sale / Rent on the Sunshine MARKET . For Sale On Mar 27, 2025: The asking price for the home owned by Suzzane Gustafson, 2008 W Iowa Ave, has been reduced. - Beth Parrish, Sunshine Website Admin Email: sunshinecountryclubweb@gmail.com 314-960-6710 Sent 2025-03-31: CANCELED Wood Shop Orientation Class Thursday April 3rd 5 pm - CANCELED Woodshop Orientation Class Thursday April 3rd 5 pm in the wood shop. This class is a requirement for using the wood shop. A one time attendance is required. The shop will be closed during the class. - Call John Chajec 708-280-8940 with any questions. Sent 2025-03-31: UPDATE: Water Damaged Items Pickup - Harlingen is going to start picking up any water damaged items in the city as early as tomorrow, as long as they are on your curb and not in your cart . They couldn't tell me when they will be coming to Sunshine - just sometime this week. But be prepared tomorrow just in case. I'm trying to find out if Combs will be doing something similar. Stay Tuned. - Tom Perrier (SEPO Board) Sent 2025-03-31: Trash Pickup - Hey, Just had a conversation with Lenore about a conversation she had with the trash guy. If you put carpeting in your trash container they won’t pick it up. But if you pile it by the end of your driveway they will be sending a truck around to pick it up. I don’t know when that is, but I’m making calls to find out. Will post when I know more. - Tom Perrier (SEPO Board) Sent 2025-03-31: Investigate before scheduling flood aftermath repairs - It’s possible there are ‘ambulance chasers’ (or whatever you might call someone who may be preying on flood victims) hovering around Sunshine, even soliciting for business by posting signs throughout. We would like to WARN people about not jumping right away to schedule work to be done by these folks – especially not before you do a thorough investigation into their work ethic / background. Apparently, this same thing happened during the last flood a few years ago and also after hurricane dolly – with nightmare stories after the work was done. So please be careful. - SEPO Board Sent 2025-03-29: Volunteer Luncheon Monday 3/31/25 - Hello, neighbors! What a whirlwind the last few days have been! We’re incredibly grateful that everyone is safe and sound. The strength and determination of our community truly inspire us! On a brighter note, we’re excited to share that our Hall is in great condition, and our volunteer luncheon is still happening! If you’ve registered, we’re all set for you! Come take a breather from the recent weather challenges and enjoy a delicious lunch, entertainment by Brett Marshall and Roy Garcia, and, of course, some unforgettable stories from the storm of 2025! Please feel free to call or email us with any questions or concerns. Sincerely, - Randy Davis, SEPO President & Pam Davis, Women’s Club President Sent 2025-03-29: Roads Update - Right now it’s 12” at Texas Ave. The shallowest way out is Missouri to Montana. Please drive slowly so you don’t make waves and stay in the middle of the road.

If you didn't see them or don't remember the circumstances they are on the Sunshine Web site here (www.sunshinecountryclub.com/sepo-e-mails-2019-05 ) for you to review. As it turns out Lupe is going to be off work for medical reasons longer than anticipated, and that extra time off will unfortunately be without pay. Therefore, if you would like to help with her situation, here's how you can do it.

There will be varieties of homemade Ice Cream and Cookies (YUM) . You can make your contribution at that time. OR if you don't want to attend or are not at Sunshine right now you can follow Step 2 below. You may contribute to Lupe's situation by sending a check - Make the check out to Lupe Garza (but DO NOT send it to her) Instead - send your check to: SEPO office 1957 W Michigan Dr. Harlingen TX, 78550-3108 You all know how much Lupe means to us and what a fantastic person and employee she is. So please be generous at this time. Also - If you know of anyone not on this e-mail list, please let them know about all of this. Thanks Sherri Gardner / Beth Parrish Sent 06-01-2019: Do you have a house in Sunshine for Rent - I've received inquiries this summer from people in various parts of the US wanting to know if there were any houses for rent in Sunshine. So I've decided it might be a good idea to list available rentals on our Web site - just as long as those wanting to rent their home keep me informed when they do get rented and also when they open up for rental again . This will also help Valerie to keep the 'Renters Directory', which is posted on the Web site under the Residents/Password Required tab, up-to-date. The current 'Renters Directory' on the Web site is OUT OF DATE. If you currently have changes to this information, please notify both Valerie and myself. So if anyone wants me to post their available Rentals on the Web site please send me the information you would like a potential renter to see i.e., your contact info, months house is available, price, pictures of your house etc. That information will be located here (www.sunshinecountryclub.com/for-rent ). You will notice we already have one available rental listed there. Questions? Contact Beth Parrish.

Dana Weise, Nominating Committee Chairman Nov 5, 2020 (via SEPO E-Mail E-News): SEPO Board Nominating Committee (2021) - Update and Request - Hi Everyone – My name is Dana Weise and I am Chairing the 2021 SEPO Board Nominating Committee. Dan Danks and Bill Peterson are working with me on this committee. I know this e-mail is lengthy. However, I hope it gives everyone a better idea of our current situation. Please read through to the end and help us out, if at all possible. To refresh everyone on how this committee works here is an excerpt from the Sunshine Country Club Estates (SCCE) By-Laws (located on the Web site HERE ) . The following is from the - BYLAWS OF SUNSHINE ESTATES PROPERTY OWNERS, INC. A PROPERTY OWNERS ASSOCIATION A NON-PROFIT CORPORATION 1957 West Michigan Drive Harlingen, TX 78550 ARTICLE VI-COMMITTEES Nominations and Ballots 6.01 The Board of Directors shall, at least sixty (60) days before the election, appoint a Nominating Committee of three (3) to five (5) members to submit a slate of nominees for Directors to be placed on a ballot for hand delivery or mailing to members. The nominating committee shall post its selection of Nominees at least ten (10) days prior to the January Meeting of Residents and Directors. The Committee shall submit its nominations to the members at the January meeting of Residents and Directors and nominations from the floor will be accepted. The Board shall thereupon validate the status of members, as defined under Article II herein, and cause the committee report to be posted on the Club House bulletin board for a ten (10) day period. At or about noon of the tenth day the report will be removed from the bulletin board. A paper ballot shall be prepared, under the direction of the Board of Directors, to include the nominations of Directors and other items authorized to appear on the ballot. See this Web page ongoing for additional information and next steps. To update you on our progress in getting possible Board nominees, our committee has been speaking to many residents about the upcoming ‘four’ positions that will be available on the Board. While attempting to recruit potential candidates, the responses have been less than favorable to take on this position/duty, at least in the number of residents I have personally spoken to. I have gotten some good assistance and advise from residents who have lived here in Sunshine CCE for many years, who have either been previous Board members or have run for the Board in the past. The comments and advice I have received have been enlightening and have helped me better understand how the Board’s (volunteer positions) can be somewhat demanding and time consuming for many of them wanting or accepting to take the time they feel is required. This is something I had expected when I was asked to head-up the committee. I graciously accepted the challenge and recruited a couple other residents to assist me with the search for (committed and reliable) residents who: Would have some true and sincere interest in accepting a nomination. Are willing to work together as a Team Player with the other Board Members. Would put forth their best efforts to help and keep this fantastic community that we are all partnered with (as residents). Would continue making this Development, in all aspects, the same beautiful and appealing community we all like and enjoy. Would be Proud to be a part of the highly successful environment it is today. A VERY IMPORTANT MESSAGE OF THIS E-MAIL FOLLOWS. PLEASE READ COMPLETELY. I and the rest of the committee are asking ALL RESIDENTS if any of you have any interest at all in partaking in becoming a Board Member? I would like to make it a Private and Confidential sit-down/meet in person with me and the other committee members to discuss and answer each of your questions, concerns and responsibilities of the Position of becoming a Board Member. Hopefully, this may provide a more comfortable atmosphere for both those of you who have resided in Sunshine for some time, as well as the newer residents. Confidentiality, I believe, is the key ingredient so that no one will know who the nominees are until it is deemed necessary to announce them prior to election voting. An isolated/private location will be determined at a later date. I am also willing to sit down with any resident (in Private) to listen to everyone’s advice and/or opinions to HELP make this a successful process. Thank you for your assistance in helping our committee finalize the best possible Candidates for Sunshine Country Club Estates!

Michael Brooks, NW HPD District Representative Dear NW-CERT Volunteers and Friends, The July Patrol is posted in the Library. I believe it is up to date reflecting a few changes for vacation etc. A special THANKS for a job well done under adverse conditions. Patrols are vital to our NW mission. However, you are number ONE. If you cannot perform a patrol, please, if possible, at least try to check and lock up the buildings. Having said that, the mosquitos are out in force - do not place your health at risk. Hopefully they will be a force to keep the Bad Guys at bay. Any concerns, call me. The treasure hunters will be enticed to check out our flooding situation. Please be on alert – they are trespassing and they are stealing. Mario did brakes and bushings on the McGruffmobile. There are new flashlights. Let me know what you think. If something is of concern, call me. Keep communication open. These next few months will be a clean-up area and there will be lots of imitation contractors. Don’t be sweet talked into a deal. Please check with your insurance and make sure you are arranging repairs safely, that are reimbursable by your insurance and that the vendor is covered. Some of these Bad Guys are well schooled in “nice”. By hook or by crook, all of you are responsible for the safety and security in Sunshine. If you see somethig g– say somethin!. Tell Valerie, a Board member or me – or the Cops. The Board, your NW – CERT Team, the Harlingen Police, the Combes Police all have our backs. Say a prayer of thanks for them. * Combes residents - Chief Quill wants you to register (flood damage etc.) at their City Hall today ! OK – something fun!

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. Submitted Tony Tramel Board Secretary Board Minutes (2020-07-20) ********************************************************************************** SEPO BOARD MEETING AGENDA 3:00 PM, Retzlaff Hall, Monday, July 20/ 2020 Proposed Agenda: Call to Order Roll Call Jim Kennedy Mecca Henry Lyn Swonger Frank Tewell Neil Morehead Jerry Drost Tony Tramel Adoption/Amendments to Agenda for meeting Review and approval of prior minutes of Board Meetings June 5, 2020 Board Meeting Discussions: Items to be discussed: Amendments to listing of Authorized Executives for Wells Fargo Account Bank Account (See Draft Form ) Report from Mecca concerning financial institutions.

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 Board Minutes (2020-05-05) ********************************************************************************** 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.

If it were not for about 10 to 12 residents - there would be NO COVERAGE. I am seriously considering cancelling Patrols because it is not fair to these few faithful volunteers who have stepped up each month. Several of you at the last meeting expressed interest. Please call me and we can do an orientation. Even if you were not at the meeting, please call me if you can help. Lenore 956 245 1276 If there are no volunteers enough to cover then Patrols will be cancelled. post haste Thank you PS The Harlingen Citizens Police Academy is beginning on Monday 11 July at 6pm at HPD.

Michigan Dr. Harlingen Tx 78550 - Valerie Basaldua Office Manager Sent 2022-06-24: Lounge & Pool - We are aware of the foul smell in the lounge. Be patient, we are working on finding the problem. Happy Fourth of July! On July 5th, the pool will close after the morning exercise classes. The pool will be partially drained. Our pool advisor has been advocating this for a couple of years. Immediately after the pool has finished draining, it will be refilled and chemicals added. The pool should be ready for use on the afternoon of July 6th. Please, note that the pool is closed the first Wednesday morning of each month for routine cleaning. Apparently, partially draining and refilling a pool allows the chemicals to work better. Since our pool hasn't been partially drained and refilled in years, we will see if it works. The hot tub will not be drained and will, only, be closed on Wednesday morning for its dose of monthly chemicals.
