He went on to explain that often the ven- dors TCG uses can give the best price and that they have a list of preferred ven- dors and their application to be a preferred vendor is very strict. “We also don’t markup invoices,” said Gormley. “The price to the association from the ven- dor is the price.” Ramsey also asked what the bid process would be. “We have a scope of work and sealed bids that are opened at the board meetings.There is no catch as catch can – it is a process,”said Gormley. “Holley by the Sea can be more than where someone lives.

Board member BrookeGoldberg asked what wouldhappen to the accountingdata if HBTS decided to notcontinue with TCG after ayear or so. The associationwas assured that the datacould be easily transferredto another accounting sys-tem.

Board President PetePeterzen clarified the rela-tionship of TCG and the exist-ing HBTS employees.

“So basically – our employ-ees become your employees,correct?” he asked.

Gormley agreed and saidHBTS employees wouldreceive the same if not bet-ter benefits than they havenow, and when there is a jobopening available, TCG wouldassist in recruiting newemployees and train themat no additional cost to theassociation.

Peterzen then noted thatthe only board candidatespresent were Jean Tashlik andTim Stephens.

“The covenants perpetu-ate our problems and wehave had a difficult timeamending our covenants so

that we can, for example, havea board that sits longer. Wecan’t get enough people tovote to do anything aboutthat. It is hard to amend ourcovenants and a lot of it ispoorly written, and then peo-

ple don’t vote. Do you havea solution?” asked Goldberg.

The question was referredto TCG employee and Com-munity Association Manag-er Don Alley. Alley assuredthat TCG had a lot of resources

and past experience to getthings done. “Have youthought about a drawing fora $100 Walmart card andenter everyone that turns ina ballot?”

Goldberg made a motion

to begin the contract nego-tiations process with Conti-nental and it was secondedby board member WilliamStuart. The motion passedwith a vote of the three boardmembers present, Goldberg,Stuart and Peterzen.

The Continental Group isa subsidiary of FirstServiceCorporation, which man-ages more than 1.3 millionresidential units in 4,100 com-munity associations nation-

wide. FirstService is publiclytraded on the NASDAQunder FSRV and as of June27 had a market share valueof more than $740 million.

The Continental Grouphas an office in MiramarBeach and manages severalcondo and homeowner asso-ciations in the area, includ-ing two of the three Sum-merwind Resort buildingsand Caribbean Isle onNavarre Beach.

A: Board member candidate, Tim StephensOut of all of the discussion I have had aboutwhat would improve the association and therelationship between the board and thehomeowners/landowners are communica-tion, structure, and a plan that defines thepath forward for our future. I kept all of thisin mind as I watched this presentation and tosay the least I was impressed. They hit all ofthe high points for best practices for an up-to-date business model, I have been lookingfor this. I believe that they have all of the

pieces to the puzzle necessary to complete the needs of our or-ganization. In short, they went over their organizational struc-ture and the pool of knowledge that they have to draw from intimes of uncertainty. They covered the maintenance plan, thetraining plan to keep the employees up to date on their skillsand to form new skills. They also went over the enhancements tothe website and how they could enhance communication by usingthat tool. They covered many other things all of which seem to en-hance the overall functionality of our organization. The only con-cern I have is can they meet our price point, If so they will bring agreat deal of talent and knowledge to our table.

A: Board member candidate, Jean TashlikYes. This should answer all questions resi-dents have about our bookkeeping. Profes-sional management will get us out of the“mom and pop” mentality and become amore professional association. I also thinkthey will be able to save us money in thelong run by helping with maintenance, in-surance, ordering supplies, fiscal manage-ment and oversight.

A: William Stuart, HBTS Treasurer Yes, I think it would be a good idea to hireContinental if we can negotiate a reasonablecontract with them. I asked Terry Gormley ina preliminary interview six basic questionsany HOA would deal with. 1) How would you help reduce violations atHBTS? 2) How would you improve delin-quency collections? 3) How would reducelegal cost? 4) How would you qualify outsidevendors and contractors? 5) Often times wehave members that challenge the G.M., staff

and BOD on legalities and procedures taking up a lot of staff time.How would you address this and respect the members’ rights atthe same time? 6) The idea of bringing on consultants from an ex-perienced company like yours is to improve services to our mem-bers, improve property values and the bottom line. How wouldyou go about doing this without raising the current assessments? He answered all six questions in a satisfactory manner which youwill learn more about as the negotiations continue. Another reasonI think it would be a good idea to have them on board is theycould help successfully change the covenants and take the lead incontinuity for a two, three or five year program.

A: Pete Peterzen, HBTS Board PresidentYes, I think brining in Continental would bea significant benefit to HBTS. It would tap alarge number of dedicated HOA manage-ment experts with many years of experi-ence and a track record of success in allareas of HOA management, give access toefficient and economical processes thathave been developed and proven at otherHOAs, and offer the possibility of a man-

agement team that would give continuity as board members andstaff constantly change.

A: Brooke Goldberg, Board SecretaryYes, I think it will benefit the association nearlyimmediately. We have had a good deal ofturnover in some important staff positions overthe last 12 months and with Board of Director po-sitions only lasting two years, that lack of conti-nuity has created some hiccups that really slow usdown. Continental brings a vast bank of knowl-edge and experience in best practices for HOAsthat can help our current staff members reachthe top of their game in the industry, and bringthe entire association up to date on technologies

that increase efficiency and communication, thus allowing us tofocus on planning endeavors that have been forgotten through var-ious staff and board transitions, help us cut costs and I hope, pro-vide a more satisfying HOA experience for our membership.

A: Jennifer Barrett, Interim General Manager,HBTSI honestly think it would be a great thing for theassociation. It would be nice to have someonewith experience to show us the best way to han-dle things. They have invaluable knowledge because of allthe associations they currently work with.

“I believe our No. 1 priority is to increaseyour property value. Because at the end ofthe day you are in competition with all ofthe neighborhoods up and down the street– east and west of us. If we can turn youup a notch – If your house should sell for$190,000 - but because of our good infrastructure and a solid neighborhood youcan ask for - $225,000. That should be thecommon goal - with a common effort withthe resourses we have.”

–Don Alley, regional director of The Continental Group

Demetrius Brown’s story is not just one offootball. It is one of faith and family, and thestrength and love found in both.

During the summer between his sopho-more and junior year, he had to make thechoice between attending football camp anda church youth camp.

“Instead of going to football camp, I wentto church camp,” said Brown. “I lost my start-ing spot and everyone was like ‘that was stu-pid’ and I said ‘I didn’t think it was.’”

Chad Lashley, the former head footballcoach for Navarre High School, remembersthat summer. Lashley said that Brown cameinto his office and explained his decision toattend the youth camp instead of the foot-ball camp.

“He explained to me his relationship withChrist and how important it was to him, andhow attending that camp was important tohim,” said Lashley. He added that it spoke vol-umes about Brown’s witness and character.

“It’s not very often that happens becauseeveryone gets caught up in the game and itbecomes the No. 1 thing, and that was a greatreminder that faith should be the No. 1 pri-ority overall,” explained Lashley. “I’m proudof him, that he had the courage to do that.”

Brown’s football playing began in thethird grade when he lived in PompanoBeach. When his family transferred toOklahoma, he continued playing andupon his family’s move to Holley by theSea he went out for the high school teamafter completing the eighth grade.

His on-the-field skills would eventuallyget him noticed by Dewayne Alexander, headfootball coach for Cumberland Universityin Tennessee. Alexander said that he had got-ten to know Brown during his visits to thearea and he noticed his playing skill duringthe Pensacola Sports Association All Stargame practices.

“In the all-star practices he was very phys-ical,” he described. “You find a lot of guys thatcan run and jump, but can’t always find phys-ical guys.”

But more important than Brown’s play-ing ability, he was a leader in school, whichwas important to Alexander.

“We find a lot of guys that play good foot-ball or are good students, but not a lot of guysthat can do both,” he said.

However, Brown’s academic career did-n’t start off with great grades.

“When he was in elementary school, hisfocus was way off,” said Ken Brown, Demetrius’father. “I’m talking D, D+, C- student, butaround fifth, sixth grade there was a changeand maturity, and his grades got a lot bet-ter.”

To ensure he continued academic excel-lence, Ken had him sign contracts that stip-ulated the grades he would need to earn andthe consequences of not earning good grades.

The main consequence was the inabilityto play football or any other sports until hisgrades were raised. The result of his hardwork was a 3.0 grade point average.

And the result of his grades and footballplaying ability is a four-year scholarship withCumberland University where he will playas a free safety and wide receiver.

Demetrius completed his high school play-ing days by being awarded the Captain Awardfor his leadership on and off the field. TheCaptain Award is given to the player whoreceives the most votes from peers and coach-es. He also received the Outstanding DefensePlayer Award, as well as 15 other awards forplaying football.

He is very involved with his church, work-ing with younger children in a mentor pro-gram twice a month.

While attending Navarre High School, hewas a part of the Fellowship Christian Ath-lete organization. Demetrius said that beinga part of FCA helped him and taught him to“not follow the crowd” he said.

One of the players he admires is Tim Tebow,now with the New York Jets. He was excit-ed when he had the opportunity to meetTebow a few years ago when he visited FortWalton Beach.

For both son and father, Demetrius’success can be attributed to his faith.

“By the grace of God, giving glo-ry to God first,” said Ken, “and a lotof prayers, and a good church baseleadership under Midway Bap-tist.”

For Demetrius, he is gratefulfor the love and support of hismother and father and looks for-ward to playing with Cumber-land in the fall.

He said that his goal is to earna degree in sports managementand become a trainer for a pro-fessional or college team. In theend though, Demetrius’ story is

the American story said his father.It’s the story of faith, family, hard work and

challenges met head on that equal success.

Fun Factory rates willincrease by $1 effective July 1.Jennifer Barrett, HBTS inter-im general manager, report-ed during a June 19 HBTSboard of directors meetingsthat the revenue the Fun Fac-tory generated was not enoughto support the program.

“I was asked to look at allthe departments to see if theyare self-supporting,” said Bar-rett. “And the Fun Factory isfalling behind. It cost moreto run than the income itbrings in.”

At the present time, theaverage monthly revenue forthe Fun Factory is about $523a month; whereas the month-ly expenditures, includingpayroll, is $1,500 a month.Barrett recommended increasethe hourly rate to $3 from thecurrent $2, and to create a testprogram of a flat monthlyfamily pass of $45.

The Fun Factory is openseven days a week during thehigh recreational facility usagetimes.

“The monthly pass will justbe run as a test program tosee how it works out,” saidBarrett.

“I am not in favor of amonthly fee because the wayit is written now, it covers thewhole family,” Goldberg said.The reasoning was that oneperson with four kids could

call first thing in the morn-ing and take the four slots forthe whole day, impeding oth-er residents from using theFun Factory.

There was also the disparitybetween what a pass holderwould pay compared to whatan hourly payer would pay.

Board President PetePeterzen said that if a personpays $45 for 136 hours, theparent is essentially paying70 cents; whereas other par-ents using the facility on anhourly rate are paying $3 anhour.

“I don’t like that,” Peterzensaid.

Goldberg stated that shewanted to be cautious aboutpushing the price up to thepoint where is it cheaper togo to the YMCA or to makethe subdivision unattractivefor home purchasers.

Resident Pat Traynor dis-cussed the true cost.

“It all cost somebody mon-ey and it shouldn’t cost theother home owners moneythat don’t have children,” hesaid. “The few members shouldsupport themselves. If it’s toomuch money, don’t go.”

The final vote was toapprove the increase for thehourly rate only from $2 to$3 an hour. The new ratewill take effect July 1. TheFun Factory can be used byHBTS members using thefacilities or participating inexercise classes.

A request for an all terrainvehicle was greeted withskepticism from a few Hol-ley by the Sea members dur-ing a June 19 board of direc-tors meeting.

“I think you need to tableit until I’ve had a chance tolook at it,” said resident DanRamsey.

The request was to approvethe expenditure for an all-terrain Husqvarna utility vehi-cle that would be used by theHBTS maintenance crew.Jackie Goebel, the HBTSmaintenance manager,explained that in order to getto the lower 40 (40 acres ofHBTS recreational grounds)and spray for weeds or pullheavy items like the pooldome tarp a heavy-duty vehi-cle is needed.

Goebel also reported thatthe Husqvarna would act asa replacement for the old golfcarts that continually breakdown as a result of being usedfor purposes they were notdesigned for.

Board secretary BrookeGoldberg responded to alle-gations from residents PatTraynor and Ramsey that theboard is not sufficientlyreviewing the staff’s research.

“We have some very

responsible staff membersand they know a heck of alot more about their jobs thanI do. Rather than micro-manage everything they do,I believe they do the very bestthat they can by the home-owners in spending yourmoney.”

“I would challenge thatstatement,” said Traynor.

He proceeded to mentiona few instances that he feltthe staff did not do sufficientresearch when requestingfunds to be spent, but Gold-berg responded that in thosecases, the money was notspent.

“We did a good job ofcatching that,” Goldberg said.

The Husqvarna cost about$11,700 after a 10-percentdiscount and will be pur-chased from the Tool Shack,

located in Gulf Breeze.The Husqvarna has an

integrated dump bed, andan aluminum frame. All vehi-cle maintenance service willbe provided by the Tool Shackand includes a windshieldand roof canopy at no charge.The vehicle will be used tofertilize, seed and maintainmore than 40 acres of main-ly sand; haul the pool dometarp, trailers and other attach-ments, such as the 50 gallonsprayer and fertilizer spread-er; maintain the softball fieldthat is currently being upgrad-ed; haul the tennis court clay;tow other equipment thatgets stuck; and numerousdaily tasks related to the gen-eral maintenance of the com-mon properties.

Other quotes Goebelreceived were from Stokes,

out of Pensacola, for $13,913and from John Deere, out ofMilton, for $12,211.

Goldberg stressed that thefunds approved are from therepair and replacementreserve and have already beenallocated.

“None of this money isgoing to raise your assess-ments next year,” she said.

“Under reserve andreplacement, you’re notreplacing the same thing,you’re buying somethingnew,” Traynor replied.

“That’s still a replacement,”said board President PetePeterzen.

The board approved theexpenditures for the newequipment.

“Big mistake,” said Ram-sey after the vote, “you’re justthrowing money away.”

YARD OF THE MONTHJuly 2012

7

By Yvonne C. HarperHBTSnews.com

Donkey ears, night blooming iris, crown ofthorns, sweet potato vines, Moses in the bul-rushes, the hidden lily, hyacinth bean vine,honey suckles, Mexican petunia and crepemyrtles are just a few of the plants that can beseen at the home of Brian and Yvonne Berg.

“It’s a work in progress and we’re gettingthere,” said both Brian and Yvonne.

The work in progress began in earnest inSeptember when the couple moved back intothe home on the corner of Waters Street andSunrise Drive. Their home is one of the firsthomes residents and visitors see upon enter-ing the main entrance of Holley by the Sea.

The Bergs purchased the home in 2004 andlived in it for a short while before relocatingto California and renting it out.

“The previous tenants really let the yardgo,” said Brian.

One of the first things they did upon return-ing was to build a wooden trellis walkway inthe backyard and plant hyacinth bean vinepods they had gotten from an agriculturalfarm in Mississippi.

“They took straight away,” said Yvonne.“Leave it alone and it will keep going.”

The goal is for the vine with the small pur-ple flowers to cover the entire walkway andprovide shade for the plants along the path.The Bergs also built vegetable and fruit gar-den beds in the backyard and will soon beenjoying zucchinis, okra, beans, tomatoes,peppers and strawberries.

Yvonne’s love of gardening started as a youngchild in the northern part of England whereshe is from. She learned how to garden fromher father who worked as the parks and recre-

ation director in their hometown of Blackpool. “He was a big man in our town,” she said.

“He was the parks and recreation director anddesigned a zoo. He saw it to fruition.”

He passed away when he was still a youngman, but not before passing along his love ofnature and live plants she said.

“He would be proud if he was here. I knowI can say that quite easily because he hatedanything artificial,” said Yvonne. And nothingartificial can be found in the Bergs’ garden.

On the patio, there are the night bloomingiris that Yvonne refers to using personal pro-nouns such as “she” and “babies.”

From the “mother plant” she has grown fourseparate night blooming iris but she describesthe mother plant as aging.

“She getting old now,” she said with herEnglish lilt, “but look there are three babies,”referring to the small flowers that if they sur-vive will grow to about six inches, bloom onenight only and then drop off.

The Moses in the bulrushes plant has podsthat resemble a basket in weeds, hence thename.

The Bergs have lived in England, Canada,Africa, Nigeria, California and Mississippi, butthey have found that Florida is their favorite.

“We should have done this years ago,” saidYvonne referring to relocating permanentlyto Florida.

Yvonne said the she likes the HBTS asso-ciation and participates in the exercise class-es offered such as aerobics, and that she and

Brian love the beach. As for their home, yard and garden, Yvonne

and Brian will continue to make it the placeof their dreams and will do the work them-selves.

And do it with a sense of humor as Briantells the story of how some Americans willask him about the Fourth of July in England.

“Do you have a July 4 in England?” he saidhe’s been asked.

“No we go right by it; we go from the thirdto the fifth,” he replies with a laugh.

A garden full of love and nature

Many people avoidgoing to the doctor, evenfor minor concerns, untilthe problem becomes toobig to ignore. Fear, confu-sion and a lack of personalconnection to their med-ical provider can oftenlead people to ignore theirhealth.

But at First Class M.D.,Dr. Wayne Burnett and hisstaff have built a medicalpractice that is unlike anyother. Dr. Burnett brings aunique philosophy ofcomprehensive medicalcare to First Class M.D., adifferent kind of primarycare clinic.

Concierge medical serv-ice is a concept that blendsstate-of-the-art medicalcare and cutting-edgetechnology with a caringphysician healer whoworks with his clients toensure all the aspects ofwellness and medical careare tailored to the indi-vidual’s needs.

First Class M.D. is apatient-centered medicalhome, where clients areencouraged to think ofthemselves as fractionalowners.

“Medicine is a teamsport,” said Dr. Burnett.

Typically, conciergemedical service can costup to $1,800 per individ-ual. But at First Class M.D.,clients can buy into thepractice for a low $600yearly fee, which can bebilled monthly.

This translates into acost of only $1.66 per day.The concierge model givesclients access to theirmedical team 24 hours a

day and ensures same dayappointments.

“Concierge medicalservice allows for a quickerresponse time to patientinquiries, results in fewerco-pays and deductiblesand improved continuityof care,” Dr. Burnett said.“We can save our clientstime and money.”

It also means that whena client needs to see Dr.Burnett, they aren’t goingto spend more time wait-ing than they do with thedoctor. Dr. Burnett strivesto ensure that each client’stime is respected and thatthey never feel rushed.He’s there to listen.

Practicing medicine inthis creative manner givesDr. Burnett the flexibilityto spend time with eachindividual client, getting toknow their needs andconcerns through a yearly

executive wellness exam. The hour-long appoint-

ment allows clients to notonly learn about their cur-rent medical health, but tolearn more about the risksthey may face as they age.

“It’s comprehensive,”said Dr. Burnett. “We useadvanced testing to detectdisease before it is diag-nosed and to provideexcellent preventive care.”

Wellness, pursuinglongevity and quality oflife are hallmarks of FirstClass M.D. Dr. Burnett isfocused on his clients, pre-ferring to build relation-ships and take his time toget to know each of hisclient’s needs instead offocusing on having asmany patients as possible.

“I’m never going tocompromise quality forquantity,” Dr. Burnett said.

Clients of First ClassM.D. also will have access

to their medical recordsthrough a secure onlinesystem set up and main-tained by Dr. Burnett’sdedicated informationtechnology staff. A quar-terly newsletter will helpto keep clients abreast ofcurrent trends in medicineand includes a patient sur-vey.

Clients who needimmediate assistance canalways contact theconcierge coordinator, anurse who is trained toanswer questions andassist clients in stayingwell.

First Class M.D. isalways striving to achievethe best results possiblefor each and every client.Dr. Burnett’s approach tomedicine is distinctive,and the concierge medicalservice lets his innate abil-ity to comfort and healshine through.

“It enables me to pro-vide the kind of care peo-ple are looking for at anaffordable price,” Dr. Bur-nett said.

“It’s a privilege being aphysician.”

New clients are encour-aged to schedule an

appointment to reservetheir space with theFirst Class M.D.Concierge Programby calling 939-4150.

The Holley by the Sea ArchitecturalControl Committee and the Social Com-mittee are in need of volunteers.

The Social Committee needs a chair-person to oversee the planning of socialevents. The committee has planned pastsocial events such as the Christmas andEaster events, two very popular eventswith HBTS members according to BobGeller, present chairperson. Any HBTSresident that is interested in serving onthe HBTS Social Committee can con-tact Bob Geller [email protected].

The Architectural Control Commit-tee also needs volunteers. The respon-sibility of the ACC is to address andresolve minor violations of the covenantsthrough a process involving commu-nication. The intent of the process is toresolve violations in the most expedi-ent manner possible, with the least costand conflict to the resident. Any HBTSmember that is interested in serving onthe HBTS Architectural Control Com-mittee can contact the architectural officeat [email protected].

I Believe:• We must get our economic development arm in order and

re-earn the public trust.• Elected officials must guard and pursue our fair share of

the BP fine money. We need a plan on how it will be spent.• We need to maintain open communication throughout

Santa Rosa county and must remove the north/south bias. We must work together and trust each other.

Core Governing Beliefs:• Government needs to be as small and efficient as possible.• Government needs to be a good steward of the public’s money.• We need to live within the bounds of our constitution.
