The Board contracts with vendors annually to provide garbage disposal and security services. The Board also addresses a variety of issues which may affect the property owners, such as the CBRA insurance concerns and beach re-nourishment.
The Board communicates periodically through newsletters and written messages from the Board president. This redesigned web site is an attempt to greatly improve communication.
The Property Owner’s Association contracts with local providers to supply you with the following services as part of your annual POA fees:
