MAINTENANCE

From the 1st May we now have a Maintenance Technician, JIM HAMPSON, employed on Bay Pointe Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 0900 thru 1400.

In the next few weeks we should see improvements in several areas as we work on the back log caused by the cancellation of the Clean Freaks contract at the end of 2011.

Maintenance requests are to be submitted via our Community Manager at Argus who will be responsible for scheduling the maintenance workload.

We continue to seek all our Residents help in keeping your Community in good order

.................................................

Derek Foxwell, Board Treasurer, resigned from the Board with effect 30th April 2012. Derek joined the Board at the begining of 2011 at which time the Association was on the verge of being bankrupt due to mis-management by the previous, 2010, Board. During his 16 months as Treasurer Derek has brought the Associations finances back on track with necessary controls on spending and the setting of the 2012 budget at a level that is sustainable.

Our thanks go out to Derek who can now get back to enoying his retirement with his wife Ann.

NEW COMMUNITY MANAGEMENT COMPANY

Argus Property Management Inc. have replaced Sentry as our Community Management company.

Argus was chosen after a lengthy application process, identifying numerous possible companies, reviewing proposals, and interviewing several of those which applied.

Argus appear to have all the abilities that we need, and an attitude far different from that of our previous company.

All owners will have/should have received an information letter from Argus, giving you all the information you will need for reaching them with any issues you may have in the future.

We believe that you will find Argus to be a good company to work with.

For the Board of Directors,
Charlie Fauroat,
President

Welcome to Argus Property Management.

Argus Property Management is dedicated to the ideal that your community is not just a property it's a home. We are committed to delivering unparalleled property management services to all of our clients and handling the business of the Association with professionalism and integrity.

We expect all members of our staff to treat your community as though we live there, and your owners as though they were our neighbors.

Argus’ ONLY business is community association management. Focusing our entire effort on association management eliminates potential conflicts and distractions, allowing us to provide the superior service your association deserves. Customers who choose Argus for their property management service are assigned both a licensed Community Association Manager to look after the property needs, as well as a dedicated accounting staff member to look after the financial side of your business. We take great pride in the strength of our accounting and financial support staff. We believe your association deserves the highest quality of financial and management services to protect the interests of its members.

Argus and its Community Association Managers are licensed by the State of Florida and are members of the Community Association Institute (CAI). We adhere to high standards of professional conduct and continuing education.

Our hands-on approach to customer service is buoyed by a technology infrastructure that allows each property manager to focus on the delivery of great service. Argus utilizes advanced computer software designed specifically for the unique requirements of community associations to process collections, disbursements and financial reports. The software electronically downloads cash receipt data on assessments that are deposited directly into the association's lockbox bank account. Our software also provides an advanced covenant violation tracking and reporting system.

Our Managers are always on call for any emergency that might occur in your community. Our phones are answered 24 hours per day by a live person. The result is 24/7 access to a wealth of knowledge and expertise and, ultimately, the peace of mind of knowing that you're partnered with the best.

Argus has been providing full management services to all types of properties in the Sarasota/ Manatee county areas for over 21 years. We manage associations with hundreds of homes or condominiums, as well as smaller neighborhoods or multi-unit buildings with less than 50 units. Argus has grown to be the largest management company in this area because of our dedication to giving the same professional service and attention to each community that we manage.

We are experienced in facilitating recent developer turnovers, as well as strengthening and improving established associations. We develop relationships with the Board of Directors, unit owners, and Association employees and regular contractors. We pride ourselves in being more hands-on than other management companies and believe that this is the key that makes Argus stand out as different and superior.
