The Board of Directors would like to let you know about some of the upcomming community issues that we are currently working on.

Holidays
We hope that everyone has a Very Safe and Happy Holiday Season. If you are leaving for an extended period of time you may wish to stop your mail, leave a key sealing in an envelope with a neighbor just in case of an emergency and inform the Association who to contact.

GYM
The Master Association has already placed an order to replace three pieces ( Bicycle, Elipitical, and Threadmill ) in the gym and waiting for delivery which should occur the last week of December or the first part of Janurary. Owners please advise your tenants that we are monitoring the gym and future damage caused by neglect which will be billed to the owner.

Parking Lot
We have already signed a contract to seal coat the parking lot within the Las Brisas Community and hope to start this in the next few weeks. This time we are going to allow the black top to dry for 48 hours instead of 24 which will give it a longer lasting appearance.
The Board is aware of the need for additional parking of Motorcycles/Scooters in the Condo 6 and 7 area. We will be relocating this almost straight accross from where it is currently located and due to the number of users will increase this to two parking spaces to as to not be blocking each other in.

Community Rules
We have been working with the Association Attorney to revise and clarify many of the rules of the community. This meeting will be taking place in the very near future. Owners it would benefit you to provide a new copy of the rules to your tenants as enforcement will go against the owner and the Owner will have to recoup loses from their tenants. Everyone is welcome to come to the meeting if you have questions. Most rules will be remaining the same other than clarification.

Entry System
During 2024 we have spent more money than previous years to repair and fix items at the entry gate. Most of these repairs have been to neglect by the visitors or delivery services entering the property. On average the cost to repair just one of the white arms runs about $600 and the Association has been monitoring the issue and when we can locate the person responsible give them the option to pay for the repair or submit it to their insurance. When we can not locate the person or company we contact the Doral Police Department and provide them with information and fill out a Hit and Run report with the vehicle information. About 85% of the time when you see the gate non-operational it is due to someone causing an issue and not the system itself.
Note that on certain days if you approach the gate and one side is open without the other side being blocked, we have to do this in order to make updates. We thank you for the emails and concerns about the issue. Also note that we ask that you do not prop open the walk in gates. The walk in gates are normaly left open Mon-Fri during time for children to go school (7am – 8:30am) then closed until time for them to return home (1pm – 3:30 pm) outside of these hours DO NOT leave the gate open. This will be considered a nuisances and we will be using video to determine who is leaving the gate open and provide the information to the compliance committee to determine if a fine should be assessed to the home.

Halloween Treat / Future Community Events
Thanks to Owner Soraya for helping to organize a small event during Halloween which the Community children really enjoyed themselves. We are looking forward to create additional Events as we have done in the past. During 2025 we hope to have a 4th ofJuly, Halloween and Holiday Event pending funding availability. If you have a company and would like to sponsor one of these events or another special occassion for the Community please reach out to the Master Board and lasbrisas@doralmanagement.com with your ideas.

Dumpster Area
The Board has been working deligently to get repairs done to several of the wooden fenses that surround the metal trash containers. Since we are doing this as one larger project as some have to be completely rebuilt due to poor construction in some cases it is taking a little longer than we hoped due to the need to get three quotes for the repairs. If you see a door left open please take the time to close it as it is your money being spent to repair items like this.
Please be advised those who are throwning away furniture, construction debree, large items and not breaking down large boxes thrown into the dumpster, the Association has no other option than to bill the Owner when this occurs as Waste Management will not remove these items. Minimum cost of removing items is $250.o0 and this does not go infront of the Compliance Committee and will be billed immediately to the home. If you see someone doing this and can provide a picture and address it will be welcomed. All Contractors are to remove any debree they create and are not allowed to use the Community Dumpsters.

Welcome to Becker’s 2024 Legislative Guidebook, a comprehensive resource designed to provide clarity and guidance on the new Florida laws impacting condominiums, cooperatives, and homeowners’ associations (HOAs). As a state with a substantial number of community associations, Florida’s legislative changes can significantly influence the management and governance of these communities. This guidebook aims to equip board members, community managers, and legal professionals with the knowledge they need to navigate these changes effectively.
The 2024 legislative session has introduced several key changes that address various aspects of community association governance. These changes aim to enhance transparency, accountability, and the overall oversight of community associations.

This year’s legislative updates cover a broad spectrum of issues, including financial management, board governance, and resident rights. Our 2024 Legislative Guidebook is structured to provide a detailed overview of each new law, its implications, and practical steps for compliance. Sections include:

• Summary of the Law: A concise explanation of the new statute or amendment.
• Impact Analysis: Insights into how the change will affect community associations.
• Compliance Guidelines: Step-by-step instructions on what associations need to do to comply with the new requirements.
• Best Practices: Recommendations for implementing changes smoothly and effectively.

It is crucial for community associations to stay informed and proactive in adapting to legislative changes. This guidebook serves as a valuable tool to help you understand and implement the new laws. However, this Guidebook does not constitute nor is it a substitute for the legal advice you need to ensure that your association operates in compliance with these legal changes. Please contact your Becker attorney at your earliest convenience to implement these changes in your community.

All owners should have received the complete package along with the Intent to to be a candidate via mail. This package can be found in the community Documents in owner only access area.
