The Herons Glen HOA 2nd Quarter Assessment fees are due on January 1, 2023. Payments must be received by January 15 to avoid late fees.

Paying Your HOA Assessment Fees
Residents who are not on Automatic Payments should consider signing up for auto pay or set up bill pay through your bank. This is the most secure way to make assessment payments.
Remember that bill pay through your bank takes extra time to arrive so please set the payment date early to avoid late fees.

If you receive electronic statements through email and do not find that you have received a statement prior to January 1st you are still responsible to pay the assessment fee on time.

The Finance Committee had a productive year. Our committee members: Bill Beadle, Pat Colucci, Bill Dawes, Dennis Deluca, James Ingersoll, Tapan Kikani, Cathy Styles and John Trimble deserve a big thank you from the entire community for their dedication and hard work. Welcome John Trimble to the Finance Committee. Thanks to Bill Beadle for taking minutes at all our meetings.

The committee oversaw and completed several projects in 2022:

The security service by Securitas was not up to their previous standards and they were replaced by the Platinum Security Group.
Blue Stream continues to provide very good tv and internet service.

Bids to repave Herons Glen Blvd were recently solicited. Work is anticipated to begin early next year.

The Cindy Farley Memorial was begun and is nearing completion. Memorial pavers can be purchased to memorialize loved ones.

Currently Hurricane Ian costs are $144,000. Additional costs are estimated to be approximately $200,000. Joyce Gillespie, the HOA manager, early on, applied with Lee County for FEMA assistance to pick up agricultural storm debris caused by Ian. This probably saved in the order of $200,000 for pickup and disposal fees.

The damage and length of the electrical outage at Herons Glen was unprecedented. We are investigating installing a propane gas fed generator at the guardhouse. Wi-Fi for the guardhouse will then be available. A repeater for the security walkie talkies will allow communication between security personnel. Security for Herons Glen will be improved.

Substantial amounts of our liquid capital continue to be placed into CD and Money Market accounts from banks giving the best returns.

The HOA manager recently found a new technology telephone service for the HOA office and Guard house. Replacing Century Link for this telephone service will result in improved service with an annual savings of $6,500/year.

The committee members propose an Operating Budget as well as a revised Long Range Plan to the Board. Both were approved and our 2022/2023 assessments were increased by 5.8%. The HOA Board was able to keep assessments to a reasonable amount because of ongoing good fiscal planning. The committee budgets conservatively, and carefully, bearing in mind the realities of maintaining Herons Glen in the condition expected by its residents.

By the way, the Finance Committee only recommends projects to the HOA Board, which has the final decision.

Delinquencies continue to be minimal, thanks to the effort of our committee and our manager. We will continue to work with our attorney investigating all avenues available to us in the coming year to keep delinquencies to a minimum.

In addition to the issues, I have addressed above, the committee members make a complete review of the financials each month. The members review all delinquencies and determine if any additional actions may be warranted.

In closing, we have had a very successful year. These accomplishments could not have happened without the dedication of the committee members, our Manager, Joyce Gillespie, Kim Rambo, our assistant Manager and Lori our office assistant. They all have made my responsibilities much easier. Thank you all so much.

Respectively submitted,
Ed Huetteman, HOA Treasurer

Presented at the HOA Annual Membership Meeting

Annual Report 2022

For all residents a reminder of the purpose of the Compliance Committee. This committee's purpose is to determine whether to affirm or reject any fine or suspension levied by the HOA Board using the governing documents as its guidance. Those governing documents include Florida Statute 702.305, the appropriate sections of Herons Glen Articles of Incorporation, Bylaws, and the Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions and any HOA Board approved Guidelines.

The Compliance Committee serving from Oct 1, 2021, to Sept 30, 2022, held two hearings on fines approved by the HOA Board. The Compliance Committee serving from Oct 1, 2022, to September 30, 2023, have held no hearings to date.

This committee's minimal workload is the direct result of the Herons Glen residents who follow the requirements of the Articles of Incorporation, Bylaws, and Declaration and Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions, and the Guidelines approved by the HOA Board with the diligent volunteer committee members who when a violation is identified worked with the individual residents to understand and correct the violation before the issue requires escalation to the HOA Board for consideration of a fine or suspension. We thank you!

Annual Report 2022

(A sub-committee of the Herons Glen HOA Communications Committee)

For our resident’s information, in our 17 years of publication we have not missed publishing an issue. That is 204 months of work that have resulted in a newspaper to your home each month. The newspaper committee consists of two groups. The newspaper production team and the newspaper delivery team.

Our production team currently has 7 members who write, edit and coordinate everything prior to submitting the newspaper to Seabreeze Publications for publishing the hard copy of the paper at no cost to our residents. The production team meets once a month to plan the upcoming newspaper. During this meeting we discuss potential articles including profiles of individual residents. Numerous residents submit articles and photos which we include in The Heron. During the Covid shutdown of Seabreeze, our production team produced our first soft copy of The Heron.

Rick and Pat Scharf have been leading the Delivery Team for four years and with their 45+ dedicated volunteers deliver the paper to the 1300 homes in Herons Glen. There are many steps in this delivery process that won't be listed here but have to be completed to get the newspaper to our residents. Not always an easy task but always done professionally and successfully. Rick and Pat have retired beginning this month and have been replaced with our newest volunteer, Dominic Polidoro. Dominic is excited to meet all our residents and work with his delivery team to provide The Heron to each resident.

The online copy of The Heron is available to all residents. It can be found on the HOA website.

Challenges overcome this year included illness, injury, retirement and loss of volunteers. The dedication of all our members and the enthusiasm they show each month is amazing! If anyone would like to join us in working on The Heron, our contact information is printed in each issue.

We thank the HOA Board of Directors for their support and the many Herons Glen residents who have worked with our teams to assure enjoyable and informative articles are included in each issue of The Heron.

Respectfully submitted, Anita Sharninghouse, Chairperson of the Newspaper Committee

Report for 2022

The Communications Committee is sad to announced that Rick and Pat Scharf are retiring from their position as Delivery Coordinators. We are pleased to announce that Dominic Polidoro has volunteered to serve as our new Delivery Coordinator. The newspaper can now continue to be delivered directly to residents.

We do want to let residents know that we researched how to better communicate that residents have an option to stop delivery to their homes and to use the online copy of The Heron. The online copy has been available for several years and will continue to be posted on the HOA website and a link provided on each weekly HOA bulletin. To stop home delivery, residents should send an email to HGnewspaper@gmail.com providing their name and address and deliveries will stop.

The Committee spent 2022 drafting new guidance which was approved by the HOA Board in October. The new Communications Committee will be working to that guidance. The committee will now be working to fill vacancies on our committee. We wish to welcome our newest member, John Stropes. Our Communications Committee Organizational meeting will be held in January 2023.

Respectfully submitted by your 2021-2022 Communications Committee:

The Architectural Review Committee reviewed 368 applications from January to November this year. Many Roof and Cage replacements have been submitted since Hurricane Ian.

The committee reviewed and updated the ARC Application for clarity with the inclusion of Solar for electric and water heating including Solar tubes.

I would like to thank our previous and new members of the committee for their endless hours of contributions to the board. While Hurricane Ian closed many of our facilities, the Architectural Review Committee continue to review the applications for emergency repairs. We feel our neighborhood could not be as beautiful as it is without our volunteers.

I am Kathleen Petrillo and have been a member of the Welcoming Committee since January 2018. I was acting chairperson from 4/1 to 9/30/22 and now chairperson from 10/1/22 to 9/30/23

We currently have 7 members comprising the Welcome Committee

There has been a total of 97 house closings from January 1 to December 1, 2022. About 10 of these were Heron’s Glen residents who purchased new homes on the Mystic Way extension or another second home.

Our goal is to have a one on one with each new homeowner. When a new resident registers in the HOA office, a form is given, which in turn invites a member of the committee to greet them and share some highlights about our community, such as communications, various activities available, and a tour of the clubhouse and common areas, if desired.

As in the past year, we plan to have a gathering of the new homeowners every other month so they can meet each other and learn more about our community. These have been very well received and many new friendships have been formed.

Presented at the HOA Annual Membership Meeting
Of December 14, 2022

Thank you to the HOA Board, to Joyce Gillespie and the staff in the HOA Office. With their support and counsel, we were able to present to the residents many events hosted by this Activities Committee. Thank you again.

Our first meeting was held on January 22, 2022.

Members of the Activities Committee for this new year from October 1, 2022, through September 30, 2023, include Pat Stuchly, Chair; Bernadette Schirra, Secretary; Debbie Baker, Treasurer; Theresa McGarry, Jean Lambeseder and Debbie DeFazio and Donna Piascik; alternates are Sandy Mamer and Peggy Lindquist; and HOA Board liaison Denise Fell.

Activities/events hosted by the Activities Committee for 2022 were:

1. Our first event hosted by this Committee was the Activities Fair held on January 20, 2022. Many sport clubs, organizations, and other activities available to residents were represented. This event was well received by all.
2. The annual Shredding event was held on February 21, 2022, in cooperation with the HOA SSEP Committee Firewise Day.
3. The Ice Cream Social was held April 10, 2022, in the Ballroom. Many dishes of ice cream embellished with hot fudge, nuts, whipped cream and topped with a cherry were served safely to the residents thanks to the Committee and additional volunteers. Music was provided by Paul Lowe and Bob Foster. Thanks to all who made this a wonderful event.
4. This November 15 and 16, 2022, members of the Committee, along with several residents, met at the entrance of Herons Glen to put up Christmas decorations. I would like to applaud these people and to thank them for helping light the way for Santa and his sleigh.
5. The 5th Christmas Golf Cart Parade was held on Sunday, December 4, 2022. The Marching Gator Band at Island Coast lead 21 decorated golf carts through the streets of Herons Glen. I received many positive comments from the residents stating this parade brought a Christmas spirit to our community, and, I must agree.

At the Herons Glen HOA Board Meeting on December 14th the board approved the proposed changes the ARC Design and Development Guidelines, Grounds Community Wide Landscape Standards, and the Grounds Approval Request Form.
The amended documents are available on the HOA website at www.heronsglenhoa.org or you can click on the links below:

ARC Design and Development Guidelines
Grounds Community Wide Landscape Standards
Grounds Approval Request Form

We are wrapping up our year with our Annual HOA meeting, held in the Ballroom, which will include annual reports from each of our committees. We also have arranged for speakers we feel will be of interest to our residents. As you are probably aware, various requests have been published asking for proxies for the annual meeting. Under Florida statues, HOAs are required to have an annual meeting each year with a minimum of 30% of the owners in attendance. We must verify the legitimacy of each owner and count only one per parcel. If we did this at the meeting it would require an inordinate amount of time to verify each owner’s identity and lot. Getting the proxies submitted in advance streamlines this process, assuming we get the required minimum, so we can proceed with an orderly annual meeting, that hopefully residents will find informative.

FEMA is planning pass through Herons Glen one more time to pick up storm debris (horticulture waste) properly placed by the curbside so it can be picked up by their contractors. It is important to clear all remaining storm debris. Ian had a significant affect on Herons Glen, to the resident properties as well as the HOA properties and common areas and to the Rec District. This required substantial expense on behalf of both the HOA and the HGRD. Hopefully, FEMA will eventually reimburse at least some of these expenses. As previously reported a generator with underground propane supply will be installed at the Guard House so operations and communications can continue in the event of a power interruption.

Some of the more significant HOA accomplishments this year include:
Memorial Park

Security switch to Platinum

Bulk purchase of house numbers (for lighted displays); $5 each for residents

First “in person” Volunteer Appreciation Reception in 2 years

Updates to ARC and Grounds
requirements; including Solar device standards
Our 2022-2023 operating budget was approved in September with a 5.8% increase, significantly less than inflation rates all of us have seen in other areas.

We mourn the passing of each of our owners and residents, but the Players of the Glen donated $500 to the Memorial Park in memory of Wayne Bryan.

Lastly, on behalf of the HOA Board and the HOA Staff, we would like to thank all the volunteers that have served our community and the HOA on the various committees and other volunteer activities for their tireless efforts throughout the year.

The Lee County FEMA contractors finished in Herons Glen a week ago. Debris that was not picked up at that time was not position in an area for them to pick up.

I just received confirmation from Lee County Solid Waste that there will be a second debris collection pass. They said to get remaining debris to the curb as quickly as possible to ensure collection. They cannot give us a time frame of when they are coming back. The HOA does not control when they come back or if they pick up your debris. The cost is paid for by Lee County and they are reimbursed by FEMA. Residents have the option to wait for the free pickup or haul away at their own expense. If you miss the FEMA pickup you will need to make arrangements at your expense to have hauled away.

Please do not put out normal trimmings in a debris pile. You should follow the normal disposal requirements for Waste pickup. Keep debris on the sidewalk not the street or valley gutters. Do not block mailboxes or make the pile high enough to block someone's the sight distance.

• Containerized yard waste collection resumed in all of Lee County’s franchised service areas on Monday, Nov. 14.
• Residents should use containers, paper lawn and leaf bags or clear plastic bags to set the material curbside on their regular collection day.
