President’s Message




                                                  I
                                                    think most of us agree that the annual block party was a great success! We
                                                    switched it up a bit with the chili cook-off and the raffle this year. The fundraising
                                                    element not only added to the fun but enabled us to keep the party cost down
                                                   and provide a means to continue to maintain the annual dues at such a low rate.

                                                   The block party is such a fabulous kick-off to the winter season when most of our
                                                   part-time residents are back in town. 100+ residents attended this year and got a
                                                   chance to mingle and catch up with old neighbors and meet new ones as well.
                                                   As of this week we have received 116 memberships for 2023 and our goal is
                                                   to exceed last year’s membership base of 196 residents by year end. So please
                                                   send in your dues and application if you have not already done so! We welcome
               Helena Cooper                       anyone interested in serving on one of our committees!
                    President                      We are excited to get involved in the City’s Green Your Routine Program, in which
             helena@coopgroupllc.com
                                                   we can help do our share in recycling, while earning points towards cash payouts
                   OFFICERS                        to our Association. We have not been involved for a few years and would love
                                                   someone to chair that committee! If interested, please contact any Board member.
                 VICE PRESIDENT
                  Diane Dodich                     All of The Landings households benefit from the hard work and dedication this

                                                   board and committees put in on your behalf. We work closely with elected
                   TREASURER                       officials, city and county departments to maintain and improve our Landings

                                                   The LPR cameras installed in 2020 keep providing our police force with valuable

                  Dana Mullaney                    data in their investigative work both locally and nationally. As part of the planning
              danatmullaney@aol.com                and installation, people agreed to contribute $96.00 per year towards the annual
                                                   maintenance of these cameras. The first payment request will go out in January of
                                                   2023. Residents of The Landings, Lake Estates and Bay Colony benefit from these
              BOARD MEMBERS                        cameras and we urge you to join in with your contribution.

                  Scott Cooper                     Earlier this year, the Association purchased the two wall lights that now help to

                                                   illuminate the entrance by Federal Highway. The City assisted in the installation in
                  Ronnie Dennis                    July and has agreed to fund the purchase and installation of four more. The

                                                   installation of these additional lights is expected to be in January.
                Anne Maschmeyer
              annemasch@yahoo.com                  We are working with the City/County/FDOT to install a do-not-enter sign at the NE
                                                   55th Street and Federal Highway exit from The Landings. There have been
                Michael Maschmeyer
              mike@urbanrooftops.com               numerous close calls where cars take the wrong turn and enter in the through the
                                                   exit lane. Additionally, a new speed sign has been placed at the dangerous curve
                  Paul Renneisen                   where NE 55 Place turns into NE 31st Ave.

                                                   FPL will be changing all streetlights with LED lighting standards. This has been in
                   Sussy Rosen
              sussyta14@hotmail.com                the works with FPL since earlier this year and we are hoping the installation will
                                                   happen in 2023.

              shahina507@yahoo.com                 The flat bridge on Bayview Dr. north of NE 55th Place is scheduled to be replaced
                                                   in 2024. Community input will be solicited by the City and their consultants in
                                                   2023 during the engineering and design process. One of the requests will be for
                                                   the bridge to be slightly elevated and dredging to occur within the immediate
                                                   channel area, providing better access for sea life and kayakers to pass under.
                                                   We have pushed and continue to push for various road repairs and landscape
                                                   maintenance needed throughout The Landings. Some have been completed by
                                                   Public Works but others are still way overdue. The City continues to be understaffed
