MINUTES OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS MEETING OF WHITTIER OAKS HOMEOWNER’S ASSOCIATION HELD ON MONDAY, MARCH 23, 2009 AT THE NEW CITY HALL AT 7:00 P.M.

 

The minutes of the meeting of Whittier Oaks Homeowner’s Association held on Monday, March 23, 2009 at the New City Hall at 7:00 P. M.

 

Prior to beginning the meeting, Cpl. Khaleel of the Broward Sheriff’s Office gave a presentation on the message of the month and asked if there were any concerns from the residents.  He stated that the Whittier Oaks Community has been quiet.  A resident asked him about the speeding in the neighborhoods.  Cpl. Khaleel stated to try to contact the City for speed limit signs.  Most residential areas are 25 MPH and the officers cannot stop the speeders for one to five miles over the limit.  Therefore they do not get tickets until they are over 30 miles per hour.  The Board stated that there was one sign posted near the entrance at 15 MPH and there are two other ones in the community.  It was stated that the legal limit is 25 MPH.

In reference to pets, someone asked if the pet was not on a leash is there any legal action that can be taken.  Parkland has two ordinances one is pets must be on a leash if not within their property.  The Police can be called but they must see the violation.  If they are called out more than two times a citation can be issued.  Another ordinance is the animal noise statute meaning if an animal continues to bark the owner can get a citation.  The Police phone to call is 954-753-5050 a direct line or 954-765-4321 is the Dispatch number.

Carol stated that at the last meeting the illegal parking on Hillsboro and Terra Mar Park was discussed and that she has seen no difference since the last meeting.  It was stated that BSO would look into this situation and she feels that the community would like to see more involvement with correcting this problem.

Cpl. Khaleel stated that the message from the Chief is to be aware of the teenage abuse with prescription pills such as pain medication, kids get access to these pills or their parents prescription.  He advised that parents should be aware of their prescriptions.  He also stated that scams are still a growing problem such as the couple with the ring that was stolen.  He said to be aware of people coming to your door and to your surroundings.
