A Recap of the Board Meeting
Below are highlights from the board of directors meeting held on March 26, 2026. The approved minutes and financials from the February meeting can be found on this website.
Financial Update
February continued a positive financial trend. The capital contribution fund, which supports investment in new community assets, stands at $339,000, while the emergency contingency account is fully funded at $339,600.
Aged receivables continue to decline. Effective April 1, the board approved suspending RFIDs for delinquent accounts that have received notification in accordance with Florida statutes.
The board also approved updates to the association’s insurance program. Coverage will transition to Westchester Insurance (a Chubb company) for general policies and Scottsdale Insurance (a Nationwide company) for umbrella coverage. Enhancements include increasing Directors & Officers (D&O) coverage to $3 million and adding cyber protection, flood insurance and gap coverage. The total annual premium of $238,800 represents a significant savings compared to the 2025 renewal cost of $308,000. The Finance Committee has requested a re-evaluation of property coverage limits for pump stations and gatehouses.
Based on recommendations from LBW CPAs and Associates, the 2025 year-end surplus of $150,000 will be allocated evenly between the general reserve and stormwater reserve funds.
Additionally, two certificates of deposit (CDs) maturing in April in the amounts of $100,000 and $80,000 will be renewed for one-year terms.
Committee Reports
Architectural Control
The committee has received 98 applications year-to-date. Currently, there is one pending bulkhead application and one pending appeal.
Communications
The communications survey has launched, with residents receiving postcards containing a QR code linking to the online survey. The committee continues to expand monthly communications, including board recaps, meeting notices, event announcements and community updates. Upcoming priorities include enhancements to the website and the quarterly Players Journal.
Controlled Access
First Coast Security is finalizing adjustments to the initially installed radar camera and preparing to install two additional cameras. All electrical work and adjustments are being completed at their expense. Once operational, the cameras will integrate with the FUSUS platform, enabling connectivity with the St. Johns Sheriff’s Office (SJSO) The cameras are part of an association initiative to enhance community safety.
Vehicular damage at the Green Gate in Oakbridge is part of a broader incident currently under investigation by SJSO. At the April meeting, the committee will evaluate the addition of a solar-powered camera at the Green Gate and review proposals to improve surveillance at the pool, park and pump stations based on an onsite visit by SJSO.
Landscape
Landscape improvements were completed ahead of TPC week. While irrigation repair costs were elevated earlier in the year, savings were realized in tree removal. Some plant loss due to winter freeze conditions has been observed, and replacements will be evaluated as needed.
Operations, Maintenance & Waterways
The Salt Creek #2 pump station is currently being rebuilt, and exterior renovations to the Salt Creek pump house have been completed. Floor coatings at both pump stations are scheduled for early April. The committee will review diesel servicing proposals and asphalt project bids at the next meeting. Sidewalk grinding and repairs continue throughout the community, and potential drainage projects have been identified. Additionally, OM&W has finalized a lake inspection form, and assessments of master-owned lake banks are ongoing.
Recreation
The next Food Truck Tuesday event is scheduled for April 7. Music Night on March 27 will feature The Conmen, and the May 22 event will feature Morelli and the Groove. The committee has ordered AED devices for the pool and park, along with two new benches for Players Pool to enhance seating during events. New lighting was added at Players Park, a revised sports wall design was approved, and the parking lot expansion is in queue for county review on April 15. These projects are funded through the capital contribution fund.
