Dear Association Member,

Welcome to the 2nd quarter edition of “From the Sands”. In general, the goal of this association newsletter is to keep association members better apprised of decisions that have been made by the board, decisions the board is considering, and provide information that the board and our management believe may be useful. Your questions and suggestions for content are always welcome. Please contact Cunningham Property Management with topics you’d like included.

Thank you, Mark Suchter Board President Railing Replacement The replacement of the railing systems on the property has begun. The beach front or condo building has been completed. The time share building is scheduled next and should be completed mid July. Painting Painting is almost completed on the condo building. The prep work before painting took a while and was needed to ensure the integrity of the building. All condo owners have also been notified about sealing balcony membranes to protect their investment in the building. More info on topcoat surfaces will be communicated shortly to the condo owners. We are now working on painting the exterior of the doors and walkway surfaces in the condo building.

Repairs and painting for the time share building are thru the planning stage and should be addressed in the mid to late July timeframe following the railing install.

Here are a couple pictures of the progress!!

Internet Hardware The internet hardware infrastructure has been upgraded with high speed access points in every unit on the property and around the bamboo room and both pools. The internet speed and connectivity has seen the strongest feedback from both owners and guests staying at the resort for the last two years. In our testing, simultaneous connections are 10 times the older system. This means we can support hundreds of devices at the same time. The speed tests have shown an improvement of over 14 times faster. We control the hardware now and now you will not have to log in several times a day. We can also update the passwords when we want or need to from our end.

Future Projects The board and management are in the process of planning and pricing multiple new improvement projects for our Siesta Sands Resort. Several have been approved at the last meeting.

- Replacement of the beach walk and extending it further towards the dunes has been approved. It will be designed with concrete 2’ X 2’ stepping stones similar to the ones already at the end of the walkway. This project is in the scheduling stage now.

- The internet hardware improvement was approved and will be scheduled shortly. The internet speed and connectivity has seen the strongest feedback from both owners and guests staying at the resort for the last two years.

- We are pricing out the engineering estimates as the next step for a possible lift for the timeshare building. The lift will require a surrounding structure and construction costs.

- The landscaping coming into the resort will be updated this year. We are also looking at softening up the entrance to the resort offices with a landscape and hard-scape project.

- The board approved keeping the front gate closed 24/7. The access code has been changed. This should help keep out unwanted visitors. A new keypad with a speaker will be installed so the office staff can allow access for vendors and service vehicles during business hours. Please call for the new code prior to your next visit.

As with all projects, more details will follow as we progress thru the cost estimating and scheduling process.

Thank You, Siesta Sands Beach Resort
