A Recap of the Board Meeting
Below are highlights from the board of directors meeting held on February 27, 2026. The approved minutes and financials from the January meeting can be found on this website.
Financial Update
January closed on a positive note. While aged receivables remain elevated at $118,000, overall financial performance was favorable. Capital Contribution Fund—designated for new asset acquisitions—is currently at $352,000. The Emergency Contingency Reserve is funded at $340,000. To maximize returns, funds are being transferred into the Enterprise Money Market account.
The Board also approved renewing three CDs for one year, increasing one to $80,000 and two to $90,000.
Committee Reports
Architectural Control
Vicar’s Landing provided the ACC committee with an update on their parking garage construction; it is expected to be completed by the summer. The committee continues to seek an independent arborist who can review tree removal requests when the health of the tree is not visibly in decline.
Communications
During the past month, the committee has:
- Updated the Communications Charter
- Developed a homeowner survey to run March 25–April 25 in order to better understand how residents receive and prefer to receive information.
- Drafted a Standard Operating Procedure outlining committee responsibilities.
The committee is increasing monthly e-communications to a minimum of four. Work is underway on the spring issue of Players Journal. Article deadline is March 20.
The board approved adding Christina Loddo and Julie Heineman to the committee.
Controlled Access
First Coast Security (FCS) will relocate the previously installed camera and install the remaining two at their expense. A cloud-based camera software platform will integrate with SJSO. This initiative aims to enhance community safety, including concerns related to e-bike activity.
The board approved adding Alan Barker, Security Director for Vicar’s Landing, and David Kelly to the committee.
Landscape
Community clean-up efforts are underway in preparation for TPC week. The board confirmed that when subassociation covenants assign responsibility for lake bank maintenance to homeowners, that obligation rests with the individual homeowner—not the master association.
Operations, Maintenance & Waterways
Annual pump and fuel inspections were competed. Pump repairs, sidewalk grindings, communitywide pressure washing and an inspection of master-owned lake banks is in progress.
Repaving of TPC Boulevard, Hammock Cove Drive to Players Pool, and Players Club Villas Drive to the bridge is scheduled for this summer.
Recreation
Upcoming events include music night, March 27, featuring the Con Men. With respect to park improvements:
- Two new lights were installed at Players Park using capital contribution funds. These lights remain locked except for evening recreation events to improve visibility and safety.
- The committee will seek bids for basketball court resurfacing.
- Construction of a sports wall is targeted for this summer.
