Glenda Wetherbee Sent 2022-01-25: Board Executive Mtgs: Notes from mtgs to Community - It was brought to my attention by a resident that I, as Board Secretary, had not published the results from some of the Executive Board meetings that the 2021 SEPO Board has held between Feb 25, 2021 and Dec 14, 2021. In reviewing, I did find that I inadvertently forgot to do that for the Executive meetings on Mar 8, 2021 - Aug 26, 2021 - Nov 4, 2021 and Dec 14, 2021. I had published them for the Feb 25, 2021 meeting. To correct this, I have spent some hours today and yesterday creating those documents, sending them for Board approval and ultimately posting them to the Sunshine Web site HERE . Both the 'notices' and the 'notes' from all Executive meetings can be found at the appropriate links on this page. You can also view the 'notes only' from these links: Feb 25, 2021 - Mar 8, 2021 - Aug 26, 2021 - Nov 4, 2021 - Dec 14, 2021 Beth Parrish SEPO Board Secretary & Governing Documents E-Mail: sepoboardbeth@gmail.com 314-960-6710 Sent 2022-01-25: OPEN FORUM: Concerning Proposed Amendments to the SEPO Governing Rules - On Thursday, Jan 27, at 1 pm, in Retzlaff Hall only, there will be an Open Forum in order to answer questions the community may have concerning the proposed amendments to the Bylaws & Covenants, that are included in this year's voting ballot.

Dick & Joyce Smith Sent 2022-01-22: MARKET: For Sale Household+ (new Name & Guidelines) - I have come to a pretty obvious conclusion that it is taking me longer to post FREE items on the Web site in the MARKET and then send out the e-mail about those items, than it does for your neighbor to come to your house/lawn and get them. And then, after residents notify me their items(s) have been given away, I go the Web site and remove them from the MARKET. Therefore, as of today (Jan 22, 2022) I will only be posting 'For Sale' Household+ items HERE . Anything currently listed on this page ‘other than For Sale’ items will be removed on January 31, 2022. The link above has changed, and I believe I have updated everything on the Web site correctly. If you find something that doesn't direct you to the right place anymore, please let me know ASAP. I have also updated the Guidelines for selling Household+ Items. So now you might be asking yourself - how do I let the community know if I have ‘For Free’, ‘For Loan’ etc Household+ items. Prior to the Sunshine Web site being available, the bulletin board across from the restrooms in the Office/Library building is where those items were posted. Posting here is your responsibility and you are requested to date your items and remove them after 90 days (see picture below). Or just set your items in your yard with a 'FREE' sign on them. That normally works very quickly too. Thank you for your understanding with this matter.

Beth Parrish SEPO Web site Admin Sent 2022-01-16: INFO/WHERE TO FIND Proposed Amendments to SEPO Bylaws & Covenants for 2022 Vote - The Governing Rules documents you are being asked to vote on in the 2022 election, which contain proposed amendments to the Bylaws and Covenants, have been posted on the Sunshine Web site HERE . The ballots for voting on these amendments, along with voting instructions, were mailed to the entire community via US Postal Service on Friday, January 14, 2022. Between the asterisks below is one of the pages you will be receiving in your ballot envelope. Here is a bit more comprehensive explanation of how the voting percentages works: Amendments to our existing Bylaws can only be made if 51% of the "total" votes cast are yes. Amendments to our existing Covenants can only be made with at least 66% yes votes from the owners (202 yes of the 306 owners). ******************************** CONCERNING PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO SEPO Bylaws and Covenants The SEPO Board appointed a Review Committee of knowledgeable Owners in March 2021 to review our SEPO Bylaws, Covenants and Policies & Procedures. This Committee consisted of Share Nelson, Pat Harvey, Jerry Wetherbee, Earl Weir and Steve Fransene. After intense review, the committee provided a report to the Board. The Board accepted this report and proceeded to undertake significant effort to review their recommendations, ultimately forwarding them to our Attorney. The Attorney provided input to the Review Committee recommendations and also provided updates to our Bylaws and Covenants pertaining to current Texas Property Code. After another intense Board review and consideration of Owners’ comments, the Board approved to ‘move forward for a vote’ documents containing proposed amendments to our Bylaws and Covenants. The proposed amendments in both documents are classified as: Necessary to follow the current Texas Property Code, or Corrective, editorial, and / or changed for clarity (without changing the intent). Amendments to our existing Bylaws can be made with at least 51% positive votes from our Owners. Amendments to our existing Covenants can be made with at least 66% positive votes from our Owners. PLEASE NOTE: Although the Owners had previously been provided access to documents containing all amendments being considered by the Board, not all of those amendments ended up being included in what you are being asked to vote on. The final proposed Bylaws and Covenants amendments, although not included in this ballot envelope mailed to you, are available for viewing by three different methods, the Sunshine Web site (link provided via SEPO Enews Email) posted outside the SEPO Office available to each SEPO street address if you wish to request the SEPO office (956-425-1420) to print a copy for you. The Board also plans to hold a series of Open Forums to enable Owners to inquire / become knowledgeable about the final proposed amendments to the SEPO Bylaws and Covenants 'prior to’ you voting. Watch for details to be communicated concerning these forums. ******************************** Please note: The Board has been working over the weekend concerning the printing option listed above. We have been advised the "printed packets of the proposed amendments" should be available to each SEPO street address, starting on Tuesday, January 18, 2022, if you wish to request a printed copy from the SEPO office (956-425-1420). Please call with question / issues / concerns. SEPO BOARD Sent 2022-01-15: CORRECTION: Guys and Dolls - CORRECTION!!!

Cathy Richmond Sent 2022-01-05: How to turn a dog into the Humane Society Harlingen, HSH - The stray pup that Lynne Reed found has been safely turned over to Humane Society Harlingen. We hope a Rescue group that works with them will take her out of state and find her a deserving home. The process to get a dog into the shelter is very different than in the past. HSH is now a no kill shelter but they will no longer accept turn-ins at their building. They want you to foster for them and they will provide the medical care food etc. Sometimes that is not possible, so this is what needs to happen. Harlingen Animal Control needs to pick up the animal and bring them to the shelter. They will only pick up at a Harlingen address. Many of us live in Combes. If Combes is contacted they will keep for 3 days then euthanize. Find a neighbor in Harlingen here to work with you. The phone number for Animal Control is the best kept secret in Harlingen. I kept getting sent back to the Shelter so I contacted Harlingen Police and THEY called Animal Control. I gave my phone number and animal control called me 10 minutes before they arrived. They double checked that they were coming to a Harlingen address. It shouldn't have to be so difficult but having the info fresh in my brain, I thought I would share because we know that wasn't our last stray! Hope this helps and thank you Lynne and Larry.

As many of you know, the Board established a Review Committee in March 2021 to review our governing documents; Covenants, Bylaws, and Policies & Procedures. This Committee made several recommendations for changes. The Board reviewed these potential changes and forwarded them to our attorney, Matthew Thigpen. A great deal of time has been dedicated to this effort. The results of these reviews were a set of formatted legislative documents. The following link shows the Review Committee recommendations that were implemented during the Nov 9, 2021 Board meeting: Policies & Procedures - https://b8c8b5e2-b04d-420e-80cf-df148ee412c3.filesusr.com/ugd/2851bf_e3e261b433314868b7b240e0c2d35a63.pdf Here are the links to the documents I am referring to regarding “potential” changes in our governing documents: SEPO Covenants - https://2851bf60-6e92-4440-b098-0166b6640e11.usrfiles.com/ugd/2851bf_62a2252072854d2b8a5a3499cb02f77f.pdf SEPO Bylaws - https://2851bf60-6e92-4440-b098-0166b6640e11.usrfiles.com/ugd/2851bf_680fb0c98ccf4e6386261702d3002e08.pdf SEPO Rules and Regulations Pertaining to Leasing and Occupancy of Units - https://2851bf60-6e92-4440-b098-0166b6640e11.usrfiles.com/ugd/2851bf_bae0f751ed06497897af6b20d4b9007f.pdf The Board has not yet reviewed these last three documents in a Board meeting. They are draft proposed Amendments. Since publishing these same links last week the Board has received several comments from Owners expressing concerns about potential proposed changes. I want to make it known that our Board and the Review Committee, plan to vet any possible changes to our Owners before moving forward. Any change within our Covenants and Bylaws requires our Owners to approve by ballot in an election. Therefore, it is paramount that our Owners agree to a listing of final recommended amendments. How we do that has not yet been determined. I have called special Board meetings next week at 2:30 PM on both Tuesday and Thursday during which the Board will address the issues of concern we have received along with the other items described below. The primary purpose of these special Board meetings is for the Board to examine each of the proposed changes to our governing documents and arrive at a consensus that each change is appropriate or not. In every case there are specific reasons for the suggested changes. I believe it is important to hear each of the reasons or rational for the modifications and determine if it is an appropriate amendment. I would also like the Board to address how best to both educate and provide a method for Owners to comment on any proposed amendments. Owners have asked how this is going to be handled? The answer is we do not know yet. The Board has not addressed this issue. It is my hope we can establish a process during our special Board meetings which will be inclusive and would engage members of the original Review Committee, to arrive at any proposed amendments to our governing documents. We also have a chicken and egg issue. The Board needs to identify proposed final amendments documents first. After that determination, I anticipate the community would have an opportunity to comment on each proposed Board change. As of today, the Board has not accepted any proposed amendments that could be put before the Owners’ for review, comment, for an eventual vote. Providing an educational component to this process is essential if any of the Board proposed changes are to be considered and / or approved by our Owners. The Board anticipates we might want to have a series of meetings where the Community is invited to comment on specific changes. The Board, at the conclusion of these meetings, would then meet again to modify the Board proposed final changes or not. The Board wants to hear Owners’ concerns before the Board decides on any final proposed Amendments. It is the Board’s hope that at the special meeting next week we can finalize the processes to both educate the Owner’s and determine how to receive comments. Tony Tramel SEPO Board President Sent 2022-01-02: Sunshine Web site: Resident PW has been Updated - I did it a little earlier than I said I would, but I just now updated the password that provides access to the 'Residents' section of the Sunshine Web site.

Cathy Chajec Sent 2022-01-01: Sunshine Web site: Resident PW Update - As a reminder here is what I stated in the Jan 2022 Sunshine Newsletter: SEPO Communications Sunshine Web site: As in January of previous years the Sunshine Web site password will be changing to help keep current resident/renter information as private as possible. This change will be made sometime during the hours of 6 PM & 8 PM the evening of Sunday, January 2, 2022. It will take 30-45 minutes to complete this process. If you are attempting to access the Residents’ section of the Web site during this timeframe some pages may require the old Password while others may require the new Password. I will be sending an e-mail to the community on Saturday, Jan 1, 2022 with the new Password so you are prepared when the update is made. Thanks in advance for your patience with this process. This e-mail is being sent to only current OWNERS of property in Sunshine Country Club Estates. If you have a renter in your property it will be your responsibility to inform them of this password change and ask them not to share it with anyone outside of those renting your home.

Therefore, I will be relying on both the Office and "all of you" to keep me informed of what activities and events are being planned and taking place over the summer. I am already hearing about some things in the works, but have not received anything to send to the community so that everyone knows about it. So lets promote, promote, promote. And as a final note - Don't forget to complete an 'Activity Request' form so that your event gets added to the Events Calendar by the Office. Please call with any questions.

Mike Bricker Sent 2022-04-03: Dog Rescue Fundraiser - On Saturday March 26, the community of SCCE came together for a fundraising event to support Lost Ball Rescue who has helped us in the past with stray dogs that have wandered into our community. So many residents helped with this event from Woodshop donations, handmade quilts, Dog themed baskets, to cashiers, kitchen help, set up and clean up and more. Special shout out to Wade Prater and his band Whisky Dent who donated their talents and tips to the event. Tiffany Prater who created all the posters for the the silent auction, each individualized for each item. The Harlingen community gave generously and big thanks to Sally Hardy who obtained all the South Padre boat trips. Each contribution was large and necessary for the success of our event. Many have been asked how much we raised. We raised $4,993, rounded out to $5,000. We did have to cover the cost of the food which was $672.21 so our total donation to Lost Ball was $4347.79. They are very appreciative, thank you to each and every one of you who helped.

People have left the pool area because the music interfered with their enjoyment of the area. People go to the pool to swim, sunbathe, read, relax, etc. If you are alone at the pool, feel free to play your music. When another person enters the area, please, be considerate and ask that person if he/she objects to your music or the volume level of your music. If it bothers him/her, please, turn your music off or use earbuds. The reverse is true as well. If there is someone in the pool or lounging in the area, the "music lover" should request permission before turning on his/her music. I regret having to address a situation that should simply be a matter of consideration of others' peaceful enjoyment.

They cannot grow crops without irrigating. You may have noticed when you drive down our streets that there is standing water in them due to residents over-watering. Anyone who is watering their lawn should limit it to twice a week. Watering more often than that saturates the ground, and it will not be able to soak up water when it rains. This adds to our flooding situation.

After some research, it was decided to start adding all of the SEPO activities, meetings etc that were requested (see request process HERE ) to the SEPO G-Mail Office Calendar. I do believe Valerie has been posting that calendar (by month) in the library all summer. Although I had never gotten around to putting it on the Web site - low and behold - both August & September are out there as of yesterday. (see this page ) When you look at it for the first time you will probably say - I can't read that!! Simply enlarge the document on your computer or other smart device to view the details. I have also included the 'color legend' of where the activities take place on page one of each month's calendar. Please review the calendar carefully to ensure the activites, etc you have previously requested are listed correctly - days, dates, times, descriptions etc. Please let the office know if something needs added, deleted or changed. I know things are pretty much status quo for the next couple of months, so I probably won't be updating these two documents on the Web site. However, with the winter season rapidly approaching, I need to figure out a 'not so labor intensive' method of keeping the updated monthly calendars on the Web site.

Media System Use Guidelines - Retzlaff Hall (Revised January 26, 2020) If you are going to use Retzlaff Hall for an event, it must be reserved ahead of time through the SEPO Office Manager so as to avoid event conflicts. Any event utilizing the Retzlaff Media System must be open to the community to attend. No personal or private party use allowed. Information about events must be: Sent to the community via SEPO E-News ( sepoenews@sunshinecountryclub.com ). Posted on the Web site HERE . If you wish to do so, posted in the Library/Lounge. The Media system consists of: 2 TVs A DVD player Surround Sound (a sound bar and a floor speaker) An antenna for local TV stations Remotes: The two TVs run off the same remote. Sound (via the sound bar) has its own remote. The DVD player has its own remote. You need to make sure you are close enough to the piece of equipment you are wanting to turn on or off. The remotes will be on the shelf along with the Sound Bar. They will be stored there, but if they are abused, we will look at a "sign-out system" for future users. To help you get acquainted with the system, a very simple guide has been created and is posted in Retzlaff Hall by the Media System and can be found on the Web site HERE . The Media committee members (Deb Robins, Roy Robins and Wade Prater) have also volunteered to go over it with any resident if needed. There should be no need for the equipment manuals. However, they will be stored in the office. If you would like to print a copy of these Use Guidelines, click on the icon below. Media System Guidelines (01-26-2020) Back to Top

Combs, Coordinator 956 245 1276 LJCombs44@gmail.com A few words: We will NOT have a June NW-CERT meeting this month but hope to resume in July. My plan is to have a brief meet ‘n greet open house in Retzlaff Hall for an introduction, fellowship and dessert. We can also plan some classes. I will invite the Harlingen PD, Combes PD, the local EMS and the Harlingen Fire Department. The McGruffmobile: The “driver side” door came in and Charlie Gardner will put it on. The “passenger” side will be taken off and a new vinyl window replaced. May need some addition help with reassemble. The McGruffmobile - The Black Case has current resident info. We will have two (2) new Fire Extinguishers. The First Aid Box is current. The JULY schedule should be out soon, and Linda will send it to me. Lesson for the day: This season is forecasted to be wetter and warmer so Hurricane preparation may become a familiar part of our vocabulary. A word about our pets – Make sure you have a plan for Fluffy and Fido and other critters. If sudden emergencies arise there will be less stress if you include a plan for your pets. If evacuation is quick, having some extra supplies on hand is a good idea. Also, talking to your Veterinarian for other advice; being aware some public shelters may not be equipped to handle pets; some hotels do not allow pets etc. Is your pet microchipped? Maybe consider planning with neighbors, friends or relatives for availability to care or evacuate your pets if you are unable to do so. You can contact your local animal shelter if you are unsure how to care for your pet during an emergency. How ‘bout an Emergency Kit for your pet? Think about the basics for survival – food, water, meds. Maybe have 2 kits – one if you are sheltering in place and a lightweight version if you are evacuating. Remember to ensure contents stay fresh. Here’s a suggested list – several days of food, water, bowls, meds, collar w ID – harness, leash, crate or carrier, grooming needs, sanitations stuff- litter box, litter, newspapers, paper towels, trash bags etc. Don’t forget a picture of you and your pet together for ID purposes. And don’t forget their favorite toys. One more thing….. John and I are up to specs with COVID-19 instruction guidelines and are offering several classes free in a COVID-safe environment for all NW-CERT volunteers. We can review Hands-Only CPR and review the AED. First Aid and STOP-THE-BLEED are an option If we have a chance and maybe we can cover Near-drowning. Can’t say THANKS loud or long enough for all your volunteer efforts to make Sunshine a safer place to live and play.

And now with the wind, trimming of the residential palms is still pending. They are going to try to get through them by the end of this week. Thank you for your patience... Valerie Basaldua SEPO Office Sent 2020-06-08: VOLUNTEER NEEDED: Women's Club SEPO Newsletter Editor - Hi All. I hope everyone’s summer is going well. I’ve waited before sending this out to see what my time allocation between SEPO communications and being on the Board would turn out to be. What I anticipated was going to happen is happening. Between the Board and doing all SEPO communications I’m approaching overload. And knowing how much effort I will need to put forth to keep the Sunshine Web site up-to-date this coming winter season (now that the Covid-19 restrictions have been lifted within Sunshine) I am resigning as Women's Club Primary Newsletter Editor . Both I and Janis McFee (Women's Club President) are hoping that one of you kind, friendly and willing female Sunshine residents will volunteer to take over this position starting with the next Newsletter. What I’m proposing ongoing is that the Primary Newsletter Editor : Prepare the SEPO E-News e-mails they want sent out for – * the initial e-mail notice that Newsletter articles are due by the 24th of the Month. * the final e-mail notice that Newsletter articles are due by the 24th of the Month. These e-mails generally don’t change much, if any, from month to month. Ensure the sender of the article is notified that it was received (This is a canned response). Review the article (content and accuracy of data) and work with the requestor to get the article finalized (if any revisions to the original are needed). I’ll be honest - Sometimes that’s a smooth process and sometimes it’s not. Take all of the finalized articles and format/create the Newsletter. Send the ‘final’ document to me (Beth Parrish). The Primary Editor will also be responsible for maintaining the Newsletter Guidelines on the Web site HERE . The next steps I’m proposing is that I (as the Secondary Newsletter Editor & SEPO Communications): Review the final Newsletter sent to me by the Primary Editor. Add any applicable Web site links or anything else that may be applicable (i.e. attachments). Send out the Newsletter to the community via SEPO E-News e-mail prior to the first of the following month. Post it on the Sunshine Web site HERE . The Women's Club ByLaws state the Newsletter is published for the months of September thru March. Since I have been Editor, I have been sending them the end of September thru the end of March. I don’t believe I have ever published anything 'for' September. I will be requesting this change be made to the Women's Club ByLaws this coming winter season. With all of that said, I will be willing to work with the new Primary Editor for as long as it takes for that person to feel comfortable doing it on her own. The first e-mail that needs to be sent soliciting articles doesn’t need to go out until September 17. I would love to start working with a volunteer by September 1, 2021 at the latest . Please feel free to call me at any time with questions. I look forward to working with one of you ladies on this. Beth Parrish SEPO Newsletter Editor E-Mail: seponewsletter@gmail.com 314-960-6710 Sent 2020-06-08: 4 O'Clockers NEW NAME & Play Guidelines - The board had previously questioned whether the "4 O'Clockers Golf Scramble" 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 at the May 20 meeting. Due to the start time of this event varying depending on how long it stays light and how hot it is, the following occurred at the Board meeting. 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. Since then: 1) Beth updated the document accordingly 2) Tony distributed it to - * Those residents who run/guide this event (George Moore & Donna Myers) * the SEPO Office 3) Beth - * put it on Web site HERE . * is distributing it to the community via this e-mail SEPO Board Sent 2021-06-08: Name Tags Available in the SEPO Office - Sunshine Name Tags for those listed HERE have been received and are available for pickup in the SEPO Office.

Sincerely, Valerie Basaldua Office Manager Sunshine Country Club Estates sepo.office@gmail.com Sent 2021-06-08: CHECK THIS OUT: The Can Shed in the storage lot is no more - The Can Shed in the storage lot is no more, It's now the Can Cottage !! The old can shed in the storage lot has been replaced by the Can Cottage. Under the direction of Lenore Combs (SEPO Board member in charge of the storage lot) a committee was appointed by the Woodworker's club to consider the condition of the can shed. The committee (Vic Hillman, Tony Tramel and Pat Harvey) checked the old building and it was solid, even if it had been badly mistreated over time. The committee, working with Lenore decided to make it a “Fun” project and it just sort of happened from there. Vic offered the pickets, a new door handle, stepping stones and trim boards along the front. Sam Davis offered the porch (steps), Pat supplied the paint and Heidi Dill did the signs / art work. It's amazing what we can accomplish as we work together. As nice as it may look, it is still the place to bring your empty aluminum beverage cans for recycling. Regards Pat Harvey *************************** WOW WOW WOW What a great thing for SCCE - makes me proud to live here. As Director of Storage Lot - can't say THANKS enough Lenore Combs SEPO Board **************************** The next time you start to throw your cans in the Trash, take a minute and remember what your fellow Sunshiners did to spruce up what was previously called the 'Can Shed'. It's now the 'Can Cottage'. See the pictures below. Also see the Sunshine Web site for information pertaining to the Storage Lot .

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.

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.

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.

As the 2025-2026 Winter Season will be here more quickly than we think, I wanted to introduce myself to all of you as the new Editor of the SEPO Women’s Club Newsletter. My husband, Bryan, & I, moved into the Sunshine Country Club Estates Community in March of 2024. Coming from Northeastern Wisconsin, we appreciate the warmer weather that Southeast Texas offers. 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. I only hope that I can do justice to the amazing work she has done over the past six years for our community! Being new to this challenge, I ask for the SEPO Community’s patience while I get familiar with the process. I will be sending out reminders to you to submit articles for SEPO Events, as well as Club Activities and Announcements for the October SEPO Newsletter on both September 17 & 23. If possible, I would appreciate any information that you have ready be sent to me even before those dates. Feel free to contact me or send me information at the Email address below.

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!

I received a $125 donation which will cover about half. These are priced at $2.95 ea plus tax which is a fabulous price. They are on closeout so I plan to order. If you were at the last WC meeting, you heard me say that Jefferson is combining with another school (likely around 100 2nd graders), so this year I will need more help. Every little bit helps. Thank you in advance. I will give regular updates on what is needed, but this was too good to pass up. (BTW, this is NOT a WC project.)

Every time I'm out on our Sunshine website I see pages which say, "under construction" or "check back soon for more details". I'm sure folks have stopped going to those pages, because some of them have been like that for years. This page is a perfect example. However, I never seem to be able to find time to go around and take pictures of these areas. Of course, there are other pages needing work, but I would like to start with this one.

We need more tennis players during the summer. We would welcome any resident who is here to come and try it. We only play doubles and have limited skills. We don't care if your good or a new player. Our goal is to get some exercise and have fun. We do tease each other, so be warned. *************** Look at this great group of 'regulars' who play Tennis each week. Come join in on all the fun we have. Pic taken Feb 17, 2024. PICKLEBALL Contact: Just Show Up Plays: Every Tue & Thu from 8 AM to 11 AM Location: Tennis Court Details: Whoever arrives first usually starts the process of setting up the net. As more people arrive we assess the need for another net to go up. It appears there are lots of time slots open for play so if people want to gather up four (4) people to play and put the net up and take it down, we can do that. The court just needs to be reserved in the SEPO Office. Some of us like to play continuous and some like to take a rest between games. We have some windy days so, in the fall, we need volunteers to put up the “wind” screen that will help block a lot of that wind hazard. Many of us want to play more than twice a week, so are considering playing after the tennis group is done. It is a great time to have with fellow members and wonderful exercise. There are all levels of players (NO professionals allowed) HaHa! Come join us. *************** TABLE TENNIS Contact: Jan Kawecki, 719-334-6493 Plays: Every Sat during the Winter Seasons from 1 PM to 3 PM (unless there is another event schedule in the Hall) Location: Retzlaff Hall Details: We would like to announce the startup of table tennis in Retzlaff Hall on Saturday afternoons at 1 PM.

God Bless them. -- Lenore J Combs Sent 2022-03-03: SEPO Communications Changes - As some of you know I have been looking into ways to free up my time from all of my Volunteer efforts for this wonderful community. I need to get some of my life back. Anyway, I have been reviewing all of the 'communications' tasks I perform concerning the Newsletter, E-Mail and the Web site. The Newsletter came first. After several months of asking for help or turning it over to someone, Sue (Sue-Bob) Swidryk has graciously accepted the responsibility of preparing and distributing the Women's Club Newsletter to the community ongoing, starting with the Oct 2022 publication. E-Mail was next. I will continue to send SEPO E-Mails but will be changing the timing of when I send them. Instead of sending the e-mails out whenever I sit down at the computer and see them in my Inbox, I will be doing the following. When a SEPO e-mail arrives in my Inbox I will 'queue' it up to be sent overnight. By doing this you won't have to be checking your e-mail throughout the day (which most of you probably don't do anyway - HA). You will see everything the first time you log into your e-mail (at whatever time of day that may be). This new process will start next Monday, March 7 . I hear some of you asking yourself - what if I need something sent out right away? The solution to sending 'emergency' e-mails is for you to either 'call' or 'text' me and let me know of the urgency. I will send it as soon as I can. NOTE: I will continue to update the Web site with all e-mails sent HERE . I will do this as time permits within 24 hours of an e-mail being sent. Now for the Web site. MARKET - Homes for Sale or Rent : I will continue to list these the same as I do now. Looking For AND Household+ For Sale will be Going Away at 5PM on March 15. I know this may upset some people. Although it is not difficult to do, it does take time to put those listings out there, most of the time with pics and then follow that up with an e-mail informing the community the page(s) were updated. And on multiple occasions I just get the info out there and I get a notice that the items sold immediately. Hence, I have to go out and delete everything I just added. As Background - Both of these pages were created when Covid-19 hit. No one was allowed to enter the Library, which is previously where these types of items were posted. Now you are free to go to the library 24 hrs a day. I will be asking the Board President, the Board Director of the SEPO Buildings and Valerie to determine if a different and/or better spot can be set aside in the Office/Library for residents to physically post these types of items ongoing. The community will be notified of the outcome of this review. OTHER WEB PAGES - I plan to do a thorough review this summer of how the Web site is set up and what types of information is being posted. I would appreciate any and all constructive criticism/help with making the Web site a useful place for our Residents/Renters to obtain information. And I also want to make it as enticing as possible to attract new residents to our community. On a final note, I will be updating any affected Communications Guidelines as my time permits and notify everyone when the guidelines have been updated on the Web site. If anyone has any questions, comments etc. about any of the above, please feel free to contact me. Thx for your understanding with these changes.

Sent 2020-11-14: Sunshine Heroes Wall of Honor - Project Background - It was decided here at Sunshine that we would recognize our neighbors, not for a single act of heroism but their heroic service. We wanted to recognize the people from our community who made a commitment to give part of their lives for the benefit of others. This is what the SUNSHINE HEROES Wall of Honor represents. It is our way to recognize them and say thank you for your service. Last Spring in Retzlaff Hall, we unveiled our Sunshine Heroes Wall of Honor complete with their engraved names on an individual metal plate. There is also a Memory Book of photos of our heroes. This touching monument serves as a reminder that many of our residents sacrificed their lives for the freedom we enjoy today. (See picture below.) You may support this wall by completing an application and some brief information (form available at SEPO Office). We would like a photo in uniform. Jim Tennant is available for questions 616 866 9960. What is a Veteran? - whether retired, discharged, active duty or reserve – is someone who at one point in his or her life, wrote a blank check made payable to ”The United States of America” for an amount up to and including his or her life. (Author unknown) What Is A Hero? - Dictionary.com defines a hero as a person noted for courageous acts or nobility of character. A true hero is someone who gives of themselves for the benefit of others, sometimes at great personal risk. There are many in our community who have given parts of their lives in the service of our country regardless of the risk. There are those who have chosen a career of community service – Law enforcement, First Responders and Fire Fighters are examples. All these people have given freely of themselves for the benefit of others. These are a few examples of what we can all recognize as heroes, but we do not usually honor them for their service. If you save a person from a car accident or give CPR to someone you would be recognized for heroism. The person who donates blood to help others is a hero. A person who may donate an organ or bone marrow is a hero. Are these very special people any more heroic then the others who served us? Jim Tennant Sent 2020-03-21: SUNSHINE HEROES - As another winter season comes to a close, I just want to give you all a reminder about the SUNSHINE HEROES wall. In case you haven’t seen it, the wall is up in Retzlaff Hall and has 41 names on it. Those of you who have made a pledge for this project, I will be coming around this week to collect. I want to thank all those who have donated to this project both monetarily and with their time and labor. The applications are still available from Valerie in the SEPO office. When you complete your application return it to Valerie along with your picture. If you do not have a picture or prefer a current picture be sure to check the box on the form that you will need a picture taken. I will be contacting you upon my return in the fall to take a current picture for this book. Remember as we travel home to be safe and when you get there find your favorite picture of you or your spouse, in uniform or not, to be placed in the book that is placed with the display wall. I want to have this SUNSHINE HEROS display to represent all of the people who served.

Contact me if you have any questions etc. Thanks Lenore J Combs 956 245 1276 ___________________________________________________________________________________________ TOYS FOR TOTS - 2020 Hello Everyone here at Sunshine, Earlier today, the Harlingen Police Department dropped off a Toys For Tots box. It will be in the Sunshine Library for the next few weeks just waiting to overflow. If you can find it in your heart to donate a toy for this cause, it would be deeply appreciated. The mission is to provide a tangible sign of hope to economically disadvantaged children at Christmas. It is one of the top rated charities and our PD teams up with the local Marine Corps League. It is also a 501 C (3). A donated ~ ten dollar toy of your choice will make some child’s day. Just wrap it simply with a ribbon and place “BOY" or "GIRL" and the age visibly on the bottom. Ultimately, Harlingen PD, with its partners, has access for the distribution plan which is usually mid December. I have worked a bunch of these and they are breathtaking – to see the kid’s eyes light up for a gift – and to see them sit on Santa’s lap for a photo op – wow! Thanking you in advance for your marvelous generosity. Lenore J. Combs 956 245 1276 Harlingen Citizens Police Academy Alumni Member Newsletter 2021-01: Toys for Tots - Hello everyone here at Sunshine, December 2020 – Congrats - Thanks and Blessings to each and every one who participated in this year’s Toys For Tots initiative via the Harlingen Police Department. Mission accomplished! The goal is and has been to bring the joy of Christmas and send a message of hope to America’s less fortunate children, in particular for children in our area. HPD came to Sunshine with some toys to be wrapped. They took back the equivalent of at least four topped-off huge boxes stuffed with beautifully wrapped donated gifts. On behalf of Assistant Chief of Police Miryam Anderson and Sgt. Fechner, our HPD District Representative, they are most grateful. You all outdid yourselves with love and generosity – but that has always been the Sunshine way. Thanks again. I have a few photos that Beth Parrish (SEPO Communications Manager) has posted below.

These SEPO Residents have met the requirements and are in good standing in the Sunshine Estates Community. All Candidates have been interviewed by one or more Nominating Committee members and were considered by the Committee for nomination based upon their responses to the questions asked of them. The BIOs we receive from each Candidate will be sent via separate email in the next day or two. During the January 2024 SEPO Residents & Directors meeting the Nominating Committee will move that the SEPO Board place the names of these nominees on the 2024 ballot.

Experience and willingness to learn and grow is a plus for homeowners wishing to volunteer. Three of the current Board Directors’ terms are ending in the forthcoming SEPO Board election in February 2024. There are a total of seven positions that make up the SEPO Board and they are: Officers: President, Secretary and Treasurer Director Golf Course Director Common Area 1 (SEPO Buildings) Director Common Area 2 (Streets, Drainage & Irrigation Ditches and Texas Ave) Director Common Area 3 (Storage & Shop Area, Tennis/Shuffleboard). These positions are elected and appointed at the Organizational Meeting held immediately following the Annual Meeting in February each year. This means a Board member may hold a position this past year but may not necessarily retain that position during their second year. It’s up to the Board members to make this determination amongst themselves. Share Nelson, Mark Owen and Randy Davis are not planning to run again but are willing to mentor anyone taking the positions currently held by them. Please contact any of the above Nominating Committee if you'd like to learn more, volunteer, have interest or know homeowners who may have talent in any and /or all positions. Together we can achieve so much! Thanking you all in advance.

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.

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.
