S EPO Community Emails: April 2026 Sent 2026-04-29: Cinco De Mayo Fiesta. Tacos and Karaoke. Tuesday - (From Facebook 2026-04-29: Randy Davis) Doors open at 4pm. Karaoke starts at 4:30. Taco Truck will be outside the Hall. They accept cash and credit. They will have a great assortment of food. All orders come in to-go containers. The vendor will be at Jackson Street Market Days this weekend, as well. If you want to skip karaoke and just get food, that’s cool. Vice-versa is also cool. If you’ve never been to karaoke, remember that no one will force you to sing. You can just come and hang out, dance, and watch your neighbors belt out some tunes. Great for line dancers. Hope to see you there!

Note - If you simply reply to this email, that reply will go directly to your SEPO Board President, Lisa Seiser, and noone else. - Beth Parrish ************************************* Sunshine Residents It has come to my attention that, twice in the past several months, scammers have used the names and information of Sunshine residents to claim that money is needed to pay a bill. These scams involve using actual residents' email addresses and names. The scam reads that a named resident is having trouble paying a bill or invoice through Cash App or PayPal and asks if you can help pay it for them. Please make sure that if you receive one of these emails, let me know , and also reach out to the people named in the scam. This scam is convincing because it includes our neighbors' names, so be careful with any request for money. - Lisa Seiser, Board President SEPO 956-238-0082 ************************************* PLEASE NOTE: A scam is going around the community where you receive an email that appears to be from the president of one of our clubs (their name is listed as sender). The correct president appears to be the sender and the correct treasurer’s name is in the body of the email. The sender is asking you to send money to pay an invoice via electronic means. The email states the treasurer doesn’t have an app, or can’t do this themselves. Please call the supposed sender and confirm this is a scam. The monetary amount varies in each instance.

The changes approved are as follows: Elimination of the advance sign-up. Members will show up to play at either the 8:30 am launch or the 10:15 am launch. Fifteen (15) minutes before each tee time, a ball with the player’s name will be drawn for hole assignment. Golfers arriving less than 15 minutes before tee time will not be assigned to a team for that tee time. Early players who arrive late can return to play at 10:15 am. Second shift players who arrive late will need to wait until the following week to play. The fee structure has also changed. Gone is the requirement to pay $1.00 per week and a $20 membership fee. It has been replaced with a membership fee of $40.00 which covers weekly play, tournament costs and administrative costs (ink, paper, etc). Cash only will be accepted for payment. In order to have your golf ball (supplied by Matt Lyne) placed in the case for player eligibility each golfer must pay his $40.00 membership fee before playing. The first date for 2024-2025 season is November 5, 2024. In order to accommodate players who wish to play on November 5, Matt Lyne and Jerry Wetherbee will be available to collect membership fees from 7:30 am to 8:00 am, and from 9:30 am to 10:00 am.

It’s been a while since we have made rocks for veterans so how about we paint some for our Sunshine veterans? Just bring yourself and we have everything you need to paint patriotic and thank you for serving rocks. See Examples Below. - Cathy Richmond Newsletter 2025-10: The idea of spreading kindness through distributing painted rocks has spread worldwide. Over three years ago Karren Amos brought the idea to Sunshine Country Club Estates when she and her husband became new residents and the Rock Club was born. All residents are invited to attend our meetings. There is a charge of $5 per meeting which covers rocks and a ton of available supplies including several types of paints, brushes, ink pens, stencils, and more. FOR A LIMITED TIME, THERE WILL BE NO CHARGE AS WE HAVE LOTS OF ROCKS AND SUPPLIES TO START THE SEASON. We are not artists, but you would never know when you see some of the rocks we have painted! We have several notebooks with sample pictures anyone is welcome to use, and we even have carbon paper to trace ideas onto rocks. We meet in the hall the First and Fourth Monday of each month from 1-3 PM unless there is a conflict. In that case, we reserve a different Monday to meet. If you have never painted a rock before, don’t worry as we have several members who can coach you. We don’t always just paint rocks; we have painted palm fronds and tile and have a donation from our founder of some wood shapes to paint this year! We have provided patriotic Veteran’s Day rocks to the Harlingen Veterans Administration for several occasions as well as for our own Sunshine Veterans. We have also shared our kindness rocks with: Sunny Glen Children Home in San Benito. Harlingen Children Home.

- Bd Mtgs: 2026 (Summer) | Sunshine Estates
SEPO Board Meetings (Summer 2026: Apr 1 thru Sep 30) (Regular - Special - Executive Sessions) (Agendas - Recordings - Minutes) Bd Mtg (Reg): 2026-06-09 Bd Mtg (Reg): 2026-04-13 BOARD MEETING (Regular): Tue, Jun 9, 2026 @ 1 PM SUMMARY OF KEY POINTS FROM 2026-06-09 BOARD MEETING Sent 2026-06-15: June 9, 2026 HOA Board Meeting — What residents need to know - June 9, 2026 HOA Board Meeting — What residents need to know The June 9, 2026 HOA Board meeting focused heavily on two major issues: approved road work and the Association’s financial position going into 2027 . Road Work Approved The Board approved moving forward with the Five-Year Planning Committee’s road recommendations. The approved road work is expected to cost approximately $145,000 . This work includes: Reclamite pavement preservation treatment. Asphalt patching in the most deteriorated areas. Work on the Grace Avenue access road/intersection. Reclamite was recommended because it helps preserve existing asphalt and may extend the useful life of the roads. The Board discussed that traditional road reconstruction is becoming extremely expensive. Initial estimates for some road work were much lower than the bids received. What was originally expected to cost approximately $42,000 came back closer to $100,000. Because of these rising costs, the Board chose a preservation-and-patching approach now rather than waiting until the roads require more extensive reconstruction. The Grace Avenue access road is included in the approved project, but the Board plans to contact Encore to discuss possible cost-sharing because that road may also benefit Encore residents. Why This Road Work Matters Roads are one of the Association’s largest long-term infrastructure expenses. The Board discussed that future road reconstruction could cost hundreds of thousands of dollars. The current road project is intended to protect the roads now, extend their life, and delay more expensive reconstruction. The Board emphasized that delaying necessary maintenance can make future repairs much more costly. Current Financial Situation The Association is facing serious financial pressure. The Board stated clearly that the Association does not have the large reserve balance some residents may believe it has. After the road project, roof work, likely air conditioning replacement, and other capital needs, the reserve fund is expected to drop to approximately $75,000 . We should have a reserve fund of at least $500,000 . Current HOA fees do not fully cover the Association’s annual operating budget. The Association has been relying on other income sources, such as storage lot revenue and interest income, to help cover annual operating expenses. The Board also discussed that costs have increased significantly over the past several years, while the Association’s ability to raise revenue is limited. Budgeting Limitations Under current rules, the annual HOA fee increase is limited to $45 per home per year . That increase generates only about $14,000 in additional annual revenue. The Board explained that this amount is not enough to cover rising costs, rebuild reserves, or prepare for future major road expenses. In addition, Association policy requires a portion of HOA revenue to be placed into the reserve contingency fund. The reserve contingency fund is intended for major needs such as: Roads. Irrigation. Emergency building expenses. Because of this, the HOA fee increase cannot simply be used to cover regular operating expenses. How the Board Plans to Approach the 2027 Budget The Treasurer will work on the 2027 budget over the summer. The Board expects to review and discuss the proposed 2027 budget at the October Board meeting . One budgeting approach discussed was to use HOA fees only for regular operating expenses. We will have to cut our budget to $455,000 for the next year and likely future years. This will have to look at all expenses, including employees and seasonal adjustments. Under that approach, other revenue sources would be directed toward rebuilding reserves and funding future capital needs. Possible reserve-building revenue sources discussed included: Storage lot fee increases. Golf cart or golf course-related fees. Green fees or golf memberships. Other amenity or user fees. Sponsorships, such as benches or golf hole sponsorships. A possible buy-in fee for new home buyers. The Board also discussed the need to review expenses carefully and not rely only on asking residents to pay more. The goal for 2027 budgeting is to identify both: Reasonable cost-saving measures. Responsible ways to increase revenue and rebuild reserves. Special Assessment Discussion A special assessment was discussed as a last resort, not the first option. A special assessment would require approval from 51% of all homeowners . That means 157 yes votes would be needed. The Board recognized that this would be difficult and that residents do not want a special assessment unless absolutely necessary. Bottom Line The Board approved approximately $145,000 in road preservation and repair work because road conditions and future road costs are a major concern. The Association’s reserves are expected to drop to approximately $75,000 after major capital projects. Current HOA fees do not fully cover annual operating expenses, and the allowed annual increase of $45 per home generates only about $14,000 . The 2027 budget process will focus on controlling expenses, identifying new revenue sources, and rebuilding reserves for future road, irrigation, and emergency building needs. Residents should expect continued discussion this fall about the 2027 budget, reserve planning, and possible revenue or fee changes. If anyone has any suggestions or ideas they have observed work in other HOAs, please let us know. We are open to anything at this point. We just want to ensure this community is in a good financial position moving forward. Thank you for your attention. - Lisa Seiser Board President SEPO BOARD MEETING (Regular): Mon, Apr 13, 2026 @ 1 PM Video (Bef Employee Portion) Video (Employee Portion) Back to Top

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

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

The project on #4 came in under budget. 2.) Lyn will produce a rental agreement for the board regarding the truck. President Jean Lawrence has asked our employees to be at the 3:00 Annual meeting on February 19th for recognition. We have decided that it would be in Valerie’s best interest that she attend the board meetings. This will help her in her everyday decision making and communication with all residents and board members. A motion was brought to the floor regarding Donations to SEPO… Donations to SEPO: When an individual, committee or organization purchases “something” for SEPO, then ownership becomes SEPO’s unless explicitly noted otherwise. Once accepted by SEPO (either explicitly of implicitly), future maintenance, usage, replacement or removal will be SEPO’s responsibility and expense. If SEPO has ownership, the board will have sole discretion for it's usage and whether replacement or removal is in SEPO interest at that time. There is no guarantee of replacement. If ownership remains with the donor, then future maintenance, usage, replacement and removal will be the owner’s responsibility and expense, however, SEPO may request its removal at any time for any reason or no reason. This motion was approved and passed. FROM THE SUGGESTION BOX: 1.) It was suggested that the library needs a little sprucing up! The office area is so bright and cheery, and we would like to see the same brightness added to the walls in the library. 2.) It was asked to have a larger cork board installed for the “homes for sale”. 3.) There was a comment regarding the C.A.R.E program, and that question will be answered at the next meeting when we all vote on it. 4.) There was a suggestion that Michigan Ave become a one way circle. Meeting was adjourned at 2:30 Respectively submitted, Debbie Robins SEPO Board Secretary Back to Top Board Mtg (2019-01-07) ***************************************************************************** Sunshine Estates Property Owners, Inc Minutes of the Meeting of the Board of Directors January 7, 2019 President Jean Lawrence convened the Board Meeting at 1:00 pm. All members of the Board were present. The minutes of the December 10th meeting were presented they were moved and seconded as approved. Motion carried. John Chajec shared the financial reports and they were moved and seconded as approved. Motion carried. Clint Wunderlich motioned to have our “CD fund” of $254,917.34 to be labelled as a “Reserve Fund”. The motion was moved and seconded by Pat Harvey. Motion carried. Meaning that the monies in the reserve fund can only be used for replacing a building, fixing roads or any major repair. It can not be dipped into for regular operating expenses. Please visit www.sunshinecountryclub.com/residents-only for total financial reports for 2018 bank totals as of 12-31-2018 and the SEPO over budgeted accounts. John Chajec was complemented on a job well done with transparency and all his hard work. Committee Reports nothing to report. Special requests to speak at the board meeting: Myra Boykin spoke again about her problem with her fence being built on the easement. Pat made it perfectly clear that the fences that are on the golf course now will be taken down when they decide to sell their home. Myra was told if she lived in her home for the next twenty years she could keep her fence, BUT, because she is selling her home now, the fence will need to be taken down. Jean reminded Myra that the board is standing on our decision. We have taken an oath to uphold the Bylaws and covenants. Hal Hophner presented the info on the gate. A sticker in the windshield will be read and the gate will open. We will not need a new gate, just the computerized system and a cell box. Maintenance is done by computer. Everyone will have their own number assigned to their home so that people can look you up in the directory. There will be a gentleman come to the information meeting on the 8th of January to answer any questions we may have. DIRECTORS REPORTS By Laws and Covenants: Pat Harvey has put forth an amendment to clean up the wording so that there will not be any more problems with the “FENCE” issue. The amendment to the ACC section B of the covenants will state…”No fence will be constructed or maintained within the rear yard or side yard setback or easement for any lot whose rear yard abuts the golf course”. Remember that this is only for homes that abut the golf course. Motion moved and seconded to amend the wording to ACC section B of the covenants. Motion carried. Treasurer - John Chajec: Please see www.sunshinecountryclub.com/residents-only for up to date financial reports and 2018 over budget accounts. Common Grounds 1 - Pat Harvey: Pat spoke about the speed bumps and stop signs. He mentioned that golf carts are the culprits. Generally speaking we all need to slow down. The board has approved a three way stop at Minnesota/Texas Ave/ Montana. Debbie Robins believes the speed/and stopping problem comes from Minnesota, and would like a three way stop on both sides of Minnesota where Michigan joins. There will also be three “NO WAKE” signs (Texas Ave, Montana and Minnesota) that will be put out in the middle of three streets during times of heavy rain. A full time resident will be responsible for putting the signs in place in the middle of the street. The cost would be aprox 200-300 dollars. Jean will be contacting the irrigation people regarding the south side drainage. If there were a box culvert in there the water would drain away faster. We can not be restricting the water. Common Grounds II - Dick Shelton: Dick is looking into getting an extended warranty for the new air system. Common Grounds III - Clint Wunderlich: Clint still has a couple of spots open in the back area for those of you needing space. Golf Course - Lyn Swonger: The ball washers are painted and repaired; new flags and towels are now being used. From the Suggestion Box There was a question regarding Resaca water. Just to let everyone know that we are charged by the acreage and by how many spigots we have, not by the usage. Who’s responsibility is it to open Library on the weekends? Usually one door is open, feel free to call a board member if the library is locked. There has been another request for a wall of honour to honour our veterans of war and other service members. Jean will be contacting you to get that going. We will have a busy day at our Annual meeting. As you all know we have three positions to be filled on the board this year. The nominating committee, Buzz Sawyer, Mari Tennant and Vince Smith have fulfilled their duties and have brought three candidates to the floor.

Not present was John Chajec. The Minutes of the last Meeting of November 12,2018 were approved and all were in favor of this approval. A conversation took place regarding the replacement of three Board openings. Buzz Sawyer is head of the Nomination Committee and will be contacting you! Please lend him and ear and take this opportunity to apply. We need new people. Jean made sure that people knew that just because a position is up for grabs doesn’t mean that you will fill it. There will be a meeting of all the Board members to decide who will take on what position, and that could mean that the duties may change. Chuck McEvoy has accepted the position on the Election Committee. SPECIAL REQUESTS TO SPEAK AT MEETING 1. Myra Boykin has requested to have her letters to be posted on SunshineCountryClub.com web site, under the owners info tab. She feels that all property owners names should be listed too. 2. Hal Hophner would like to see speed bumps placed on Texas Ave and Minnesota St. His water damage was caused by waves of water, people driving to fast through the water. A three way stop was talked about too. Three sets of speed bumps were requested, Hal is going to gather all info and forward it to Jean so that we can make a sound decision. 3. Hal Hophner and Mel Wendel spoke about the front gate. The Question was asked, Why do we have a closed gate to protect the sheds and motor homes where the work shop is, while we have three hundred homes that are not gated. Hal and Mel have three different gate systems. They educated us on the options. Hal and Mel will narrow it down to one option; present it to the board and come up with a game plan to educate SSCC home owners. DIRECTORS REPORTS COMMON GROUNDS 1 -Pat Harvey The Carved Log on Texas Ave has been removed, a committee of the Bird and Nature Club is considering what to put in it’s place. A sump pump for Minnesota ditch has been replaced this past month. Please take the time to see if your sprinklers are over watering, this would be so helpful. We purchased a normal walk behind mower for use in places that the larger mowers can’t. Lastly, the visible water along Texas Ave has disappeared!!!!!!! COMMON GROUNDS II -Dick Shelton The New air unit in Retzlaf hall is up and working. COMMON GROUNDS III -Clint Wunderlich He is looking for two spots for sheds. Myra Boykin has volunteered her spot and is willing to move their motor home to another spot. GOLF COURSE -Lyn Swonger We purchased a box blade for $600. Found the problem on #2, and put in a drain. TREASURE -John Chajec John sent out his financial report and it was approved and carried. He also sent out a covenant change to be approved by the board and placed on a ballot for the Feb 2019 meeting. The change is as follows: When this covenant was created, $45 was a 15% increase in the $300 maintenance fees. All covenant changes require a 2/3 majority vote of all lots, one vote per owner to pass. A non-vote is a “NO” vote. Covenant SECTION 4.3 ANNUAL ASSESSMENT Proposed covenant changed: The annual assessment may be increased each year by not more than 5% of annual maintenance fees per year. Any such possible increases in assessments shall be non-cumulative. In any year following a year when there has been no increase, the assessment may not be increased by more than 5%. The annual assessment may be increased each year by not more than 5% per year. CURRENT COVENANT: Annual assessment shall be $300.00 payable $25.00 per month. The annual assessment may be increased each year by not more than $45.00 per year. Any such possible increases in assessments shall be non-cumulative. In any year following a year when there has been no increase, the assessment may not be increased by more than $45.00 that year. John has also submitted the C.A.R.E. fee covenant for approval by the board and placed on a ballot for the Feb 2019 election. It is a charge for NEW Purchasers at closing; equal to a year assessment fee, to be put into a capital equipment fund for improvements to the community. The assessment proposal will hopefully pass, we can only go for so long increasing our assessments by 45$ the next boards coming in will run out of money soon. This is one way of getting ahead of inflation and gain ground on funds for future improvement. OLD BUSINESS Each property owner who has a fence on the golf course that isn’t compliant has been sent a letter. Each letter was the same, explaining that if the fence is on the easement it had to be removed. A letter of apology was going to be hand delivered to the Burneys because their fence IS compliant. They also had an approved plan in their file that is in the office. NEW BUSINESS We wish to have Valerie be a Notary Republic, we will purchase the package and pay the monthly fee. SUGGESTION BOX Two suggestions 1) of “new towels” on the ball washers. Lyn mentioned that they will be repairing some of the ball washers and painting them and that new towels are on that list. 2) People would like to see lights in the fountains on 8/9 pond… They do have lights in them, Lyn is looking into the problem. ***************************************************************************** Sunshine Estates Property Owners, Inc. Minutes of the Meeting of the Board of Directors November 12, 2018 President Jean Lawrence convened the Board Meeting at 1:00 PM The Members of the Board present were Jean Lawrence, Clint Wunderlich, Dick Shelton, John Chajec, Lyn Swonger and Debbie Robins. Not present was Pat Harvey. The minutes from October 22, 2018 were approved. Architectural Control Committee: On behalf of Ina Hillman, Jim Kennedy spoke about how important it is to contact the architectural committee when doing any improvements to the OUTSIDE of your property.

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

The items in bold will be added to our Policy and Procedures: The following motion was brought to the floor regarding Donations to SEPO at the February 11th Board meeting and passed unanimously. Donations to SEPO: When an individual, committee or organization purchases “something” for SEPO, then ownership becomes SEPO’s unless explicitly noted otherwise. Once accepted by SEPO (either explicitly or implicitly), future maintenance, usage, replacement or removal will be SEPO’s responsibility and expense. If SEPO has ownership, the board will have sole discretion for its usage and whether replacement or removal is in SEPO interest at that time. There is no guarantee of replacement. If ownership remains with the donor, then future maintenance, usage, replacement and removal will be the owner’s responsibility and expense, however, SEPO may request its removal at any time for any reason or no reason. The following motion was brought to the floor regarding trail fees at the February 19th Board meeting and passed unanimously. Long term residents will probably point out this was the intention when the trail fess were established but has been lost over the years. All Trail Fees collected will be placed in a designated fund for golf trails (concrete paths) and not placed in the general funds such funds will be strictly used for maintenance or installation of new golf trails.

This is a BYOB and snack type of event . AND - You may think the committee isn't aware that this is the normal Thursday Pavilion Happy Hour event day. BUT - You would be mistaken. We'd very much like folks to come out before the dance and join in the fun of the Pavilion Happy Hour. You might even be able to snatch a sizzling hot dog or two off the grill.

Beth Parrish SEPO Newsletter Editor E-Mail: seponewsletter@gmail.com 314-960-6710 Sent 2022-09-19: Vacation Plans: SEPO E-News E-Mail & SEPO Newsletter Mgr - I will not be available to send SEPO E-News E-Mails all day this coming Wed (09-20) and Thu (09-21) and most of Fri (09-23). If you have something you had planned to send to the community during that timeframe, please get it to me now. Also, I still need someone to volunteer to send SEPO e-mails for me from Nov 11 thru Nov 20. Otherwise, no e-mails will get sent during that timeframe. Please continue to send in your Newsletter articles to seponewsletter@gmail.com . I will reply to you concerning my receipt of them next Sat or Sun. Thx.

If you are new to creating a Sunshine Newsletter article, there are four years of examples on the Sunshine Web site HERE . Probably steer clear of the 'covid' timeframe, as those articles were very sparse. If you still need some assistance, look who composed previous articles for the area you are wanting to report about and reach out to them. Hope this helps.

Please return to Lost and Found (in the Library) or to Mark Owen at 4224 N. Minnesota. Lost 3 Days ago... - Mark Owen Sent 2022-09-15: Policies & Procedures: Updates from September 12, 2022 Board Mtg - At the September 12, 2022 Regular Board Meeting, the Board approved two updates to the SEPO Policies & Procedures . A section entitled "Resale Certificates" was added on page 1 to comply with Texas Property Code 207: RESALE CERTIFICATES To comply with Texas Property Code, Sec. 207, any owner selling his residence must provide a resale certificate to the buyer prior to closing. This must be done whether by sale through a realtor, or a private sale between individuals. This will be provided by SEPO not later than ten days following a request for same at a cost of $250. The resale certificate will provide, in part, the following information: Financial condition of the association, any unpaid amounts due the association on the property, any known violations of noncompliance for the property of the rules (Covenants) of the association. The "Property and Yard Maintenance" section, Item 1, was updated concerning the 'attempt' to make an initial phone call: PROPERTY AND YARD MAINTENANCE It is the responsibility of all property owners to see that their property and yard are maintained, mowed, and trimmed AT ALL TIMES. If it becomes necessary for SEPO to care for an owner’s property at any time, a service fee of $50.00 for mowing and $75.00 for weed removal of non-grass yards will be made each time such services are performed. There will be a service fee of $75.00 per incident to pick up fruit that has fallen from your fruit tree onto any Owner’s property or the street. Initially the SEPO Office must attempt to notify the owner via phone call. This will immediately be followed by a written notice from the SEPO Office that references the attempted or actual phone call and states the issue that needs to be addressed. This written notice may be handed to the owner of the premises or sent via e-mail or regular mail, or by posting the notice on or near the front door of the resident’s home at the property location. Owners will be given seven (7) days from the date of said phone call (attempted or completed) and the written notice to bring the premises into compliance before the SEPO services are scheduled. All owners must furnish SEPO office personnel with up-to-date information as to who is responsible for their property during the owner’s absence. Additional details pertaining to these updates will be in the written minutes from this meeting, which are currently in process. As stated in an earlier e-mail the video for that meeting is available now: https://1drv.ms/v/s!ArA0fRIwdohilftpzOo4KPA2D4K2tw?e=vrKghL The updated P&P document is now on the Sunshine Web site HERE and can also be accessed directly from HERE . SEPO Board Sent 2022-09-14: Letter to SEPO residents - First off from Beth Parrish (SEPO Communications Mgr): Please note the below was actually supposed to be sent on Sep 7, but it fell into an email black hole. Thanks for resending it to me Larry. From Larry Keller (SEPO Board Director): update on Texas ave - The front entrance area continues to look fantastic. Lalo, the Garden Club and many other volunteers have made the Texas ave area look better than ever. When you see Lalo be sure to thank him for his dedication to our community. Lalo will be pressure washing the concrete block wall on the south side of Texas ave very soon. The drainage ditch behind Minnesota has been cleaned out from Texas ave to the northern boundary by the storage lots. This was achieved with help from Alan Moore district 5 mgr, Joy Cossins, Caroline Cochran, Lassie Dahlstrom, Randy Davis and our SEPO staff. We have begun to trim some trees along the Minnessota ave tree line to avoid contact with the power lines. The front gate mechanism has had nearly all of the internal components replaced. A new lock was also installed to avoid tampering. We have had success the last few weeks with the gate operating properly. Continued issues with the gate will require we purchase a new opener. Additionally, the front gate cameras are fully operational. Many thanks to Valerie (SEPO Office Mgr) for her help on this issue. Sent 2022-09-14: Sunshine Meetings schedule - As we are rapidly approaching the 2022-2023 Winter season at Sunshine, I wanted to remind and/or let everyone know that the schedule of meetings, that I know of , are posted on the Web site here .

We are now rolling full steam ahead to get back to normal – YAY. Let’s show everyone what’s available again. I’m thinking this first Newsletter would be a great opportunity for everyone who manages or participates in one of our clubs (like Women's Club or Rock Painting) or activities (like Golf) to ‘get the word out’ about them. I’m requesting that you provide the following types of information for this Newsletter: Club/Activity Name Contact Name(s) Is there a Board? Do you ‘meet’? If so, where and when? General Description. Some of this info has been provided for the Web site (but may be outdated) HERE & HERE . What else can be displayed on these pages? What additional pages do we need/want? This is a perfect opportunity: For you to review and become more familiar with the Web site For me to get the Web site updated with current and correct info. Remind the community of what a great place Sunshine is to live. As always: Please provide your articles to me – by September 24 at the latest the earlier the better When you have your article prepared, please submit it to seponewsletter@gmail.com . If you have any questions, issues, etc you can contact me at seponewsletter@gmail.com . Thank you all in advance for helping me get the word out and keeping the community informed.

COMPLETE ON THIS PAGE WALL OF HONOR (Started Jan 8, 2020) 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.

The service wall plans are moving along. The wall display is to recognize residents living and deceased where the surviving spouse or other relation resides within the estates. I will be available in the library on March 12, 2020 between 10:00 and 12:00 to take pictures and accept applications. If you have a picture I will be accepting them at these times. If residents want their picture or their spouse’s picture included on the wall they will need to fill out an application form. These forms are available in the office. Check with Valerie to get one, or see me. My information is below. She also has pledge forms available if you need one. The picture you provide for use will be copied and returned, please write on the application form so that I can return your picture. All name plates and pictures that are placed on the wall and in the book should remain there indefinitely. I want to inform our residents on the status of this project. The wall is installed and the name plates are ordered. Engraving is being done on 28 of the plates, as that is the amount of applicants we had when the order was placed. Additional plates will be engraved as we receive applications. The pledges that I asked for at the Annual Meeting are coming in with many neighbors preferring to make cash donations rather than a pledge. I am keeping an accounting of all donations and expenditures and will make it available for anyone to see upon request. It is hoped that the first name plates will be on the wall very soon. Thank you for your pledges and donations towards this project and for those still to come in.

They are well known for helping the disadvantaged during emergencies and for their Christmas programs (Angel Tree) and bell ringing for needy families and their kids. Sunshine has been blessed much over many years helping here in Harlingen with the Friday after Thanksgiving. A wonderful part of this is that all the funds raised locally are used locally . Bell ringing is a big part of raising the funds. We raised $1,007.66 this year, more than any other year during the single day effort. The figures were broken down as Pharmacy door $563.88 and $433.78 on the grocery side. That is a lot of single dollar and small coin donations. A little factoid from the SA literature (Loan Star Christmas edition) says that one-hour volunteering ringing bells helps put food on the table for 13 people. Sunshine had 38 (2 couples did two shifts) people volunteer one hour each this year and using this measure, would feed 572 people. We also had candy donations from some of our ringers and that was used to great effect. Big thanks from the Salvation Army and me too. It is heartening to see the effort and willingness of our residents. Now I’m asking for someone younger who is willing to take over my duties of organizing this? I just turned 87 and have done this for a long time. I am leaving this year and will turn it over to a willing person. Arv Russell 2019-11-20: Bell Ringers (Backups Needed) - Thanks to everyone who signed up to "Ring the Bells" for the Salvation at WalMart the day after Thanksgiving. We have all of the timeslots filled - BUT - would like to have some backups on call in case anyone on the sheet is not able to make it at their appointed time. If you haven't received the scheduling sheet so you know your time/door and who is before & after you, please contact either Lorraine Lewis or Arv Russell. Also contact either of them if you could be a backup on call. Thanks again. Lorraine Lewis/Arv Russell 2019-11-16: Bell Ringers needed - Sunshine has volunteered to Support the Salvation Army for many years in bringing hope and support to the disadvantaged in our community. And we are doing it again this year. We need some more volunteers to ring bells. We ring at the Walmart in Harlingen on November 29th (the Friday after Thanksgiving). We do one-hour shifts and need two people each at both the north and south doors. It is a time of joy as families and kids are in a holiday spirit. Please help if you can be a part of this worthwhile project by signing up on the Scheduling Sheet that is currently posted in the Library. Call Arv Russell 956 357 7302 or Lorraine Lewis 956 244 2094 if you have any questions. ***************************************************************** Back to Top

Currently they are Tom Perrier, Pat Heinerikson and Gay Paxton. We have openings for four positions. Nominations may be made from the floor at that meeting. The person being nominated must have agreed first to being nominated. On a personal note, I have served often on the Board and can tell you there is satisfaction in serving and having a voice in moving the community forward.

Experience and willingness to learn and grow is a plus for homeowners (or their spouses) wishing to volunteer. We need to fill four of the current Board members' positions whose terms are ending in February 2025. 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). Who ends up holding each of these positions is determined at the required Organizational Meeting held immediately following the Annual Meeting in February each year. This means a Board member may hold a position this 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. If you are undetermined as to whether you would like to serve on the SEPO Board, please ask yourself the following: Do you have ideas about how your community can be managed more efficiently? Would you like to become more involved in your HOA's daily operation? Do you have the time, dedication, and enthusiasm to regularly volunteer your skills for the benefit of your community? If you would like to be considered as a SEPO Board Candidate, please contact any Nominating Committee member to set up an interview. If you know a homeowner (or their spouse) who you think would make a valuable Board member, please contact the Nominating Committee. Thank you all in advance.
