NEWSLETTER
What’s been happening this summer? Street lights have been upgraded, speed bumps installed and road signs replaced. HOA Block Captains have been eliminated. HOA will communicate only the voting ballot and newsletter to your door. New Hazard communication system has been launched. See management for instruction on how it works and what you need to provide.

News from Management to HOA Outside electrical boxes have been inspected and those needing theirs replaced will be contacted. They must be made available to the electrician. Some have shrubs or items making it impossible for post and box to be replaced. Please keep shrubs and debris clear of post. Also, your mushroom cap (outside sewage clean out) must be made accessible to maintenance so keep that area clear. Please, do not park overnight in the street. If guest staying over sign them into the park and get a parking pass. Question contact office. HOA has been informed that the community center is not to be used as a hurricane shelter. Manatee County has designated shelters if you need to evacuate. Lawn Maintenance: Please follow the Manatee County watering schedule. You are only allowed to water on your scheduled days. ODD number lots Wednesday and Saturday EVEN number lots on Thursday and Sunday. Exception for new lawns or seeding your lawn notify Manatee County. Do not water on Mondays, Tuesdays or Fridays. Pets are required to have a county license and be up to date on shots. Please send updated information to management. If something happens on your property with a pet you are responsible.

All residents must have liability insurance and a copy of your yearly renewal given to management. Next page is suggested
insurance agents.
Need Homeowners Insurance? Are you looking for homeowner’s insurance? When I moved in, I was informed good luck finding insurance. Citizens Insurance was the only company available and what a pain it was signing up with them. Furthermore, they won’t insure your home for very much. After four years with Citizens I found an insurance agent, Ken Christy Insurance, who has many insurance companies from which to choose to insure your home. I was able to insure my home not only for its value but what I have invested in my home. I now have peace of mind if something major happens. I’m more than covered to replace it.

What’s been happening this summer? All community light poles have been upgraded to a brighter bulb and are more energy efficient. Huge thanks to Jeff and Sonya Wolfe for heading up the chair committee. Those who never sat on the community center chairs have no idea what a difference some padding makes. Thanks to all of the helpers who assisted them. HOA board approved a pizza party for the chair team. Many thanks for management supplying material. Management has trimmed the trees along Shady and West Lanes. Palm trees were trimmed in June to eliminate those annoying berries that clutter the streets and grounds. Community pool now has a rope with bobbers to separate the deep-end from the shallow. This was mandated by the county. Management has also added four more lounge chairs plus refurbished the old with new webbing. They look great. Community game room has been completed. Two poker tables, bumper pool table, exercise equipment and new cabinets were installed to store the HOA event material. What a nice clean look we now have. For those on diets we even have a scale. The Waves and HOA membership dues box are now located on the HOA bulletin board in the community center lobby. Thank you, Mo Daley. Outside sandwich board reminds us what’s happening and upcoming events. Remember, if you see something on the board check bulletin board in the community center for more details on that event. Sign up and get involved we have a blast.
Come learn, for free, how to access websites to research your ancestors
I have been playing around with some ancestry research for a couple of years and have had a lot of success. I would very much enjoy sharing a few things I've discovered with anyone interested in learning more about their ancestors. Also, I can direct you to some free websites that provide
really good information. When: Tuesday, December 3rd, 2019 at the Community Center (6:30 pm) Question contact: Sonya Harris J-2 Ivy Circle
Over the summer we had some water line breaks due to FPL doing work and management used the HAZARD system to notify us. It worked great. If you’re not getting results from management after submitting a service request form please contact our HOA Liaison, Mo Daley, G-02 Bamby La. 941-251-4295 or email: [email protected] before submitting a second request. Those who walk or ride their bikes early mornings or late evening need to have a light with them. Bikers, have a front and rear blinking light. Walkers a flash light that blinks on and off and a reflective item. If you open an umbrella in the pool area please close it. It’s not the responsibility of the pool cover people.
Christmas Golf Cart Light Parade All you golf cart racers get pumped up for our third annual Christmas Parade. Open to anyone in Swan Lake Village who would like to decorate their golf carts.

Joe Dimaggio found this 1998 WAVES
In the past few months I have received numerous complaints concerning violations of Park rules & Regulations. Swimming pool issues, guest must register, pet issues, nothing stored outside your home or shed, no overnight parking on streets, no parking on lawn, don’t water Monday, Tuesday or Friday and our biggest issue speed limit in the park 15 MPH. (Seems back in 1998 they had the same issues we have today)
