MANAGER’S REPORT
Lesley Studholme of Space Coast Management submitted the manager’s reports for August.  This report consists of tracking non compliance issues in Copperfield.  The list of non compliance letters was substantially lower in August.  Many owners have responded and the properties are either being worked on, or completed.   The one remaining property that was turned over to the attorney has responded that they will lay new sod in October.  Only 3 delinquent maintenance fees are seriously outstanding which 2 are currently under bank foreclosure.  

The new owner of 2025 Worchester sent a prorated portion of their dues since they did not take ownership until mid quarter.  Lesley asked the BOD for the status on  collecting the previous outstanding portion from the seller who is a lending institution.  The BOD replied that it is the new owner’s responsibility to pay all delinquencies since the maintenance fees run with the property and not the owner.  The new owner can contact the organization she purchased the property from for reimbursement.  Lesley will contact the new owner with the Board of Directors determination.
