HOA Meeting Scheduled For August 26th
The third of four HOA Board meeting for 2008 is scheduled for Tuesday, August 26th, 2008, 6:30 PM at the Fruitville branch of the Sarasota Public Library. HOA President Gary Walsh urges all residents to attend as there are some important matters to be discussed. An agenda for this up-coming meeting will be posted here when it becomes available.
Palmer Blvd. Wall Restoration Project Completed
The ongoing MW wall restoration project along Palmer Blvd. is now complete. Jim McDonnell, our painting contractor as well as one of Meadow Walk’s newest residents put the finishing touches on the wall over the Memorial Day weekend. The project itself proved much more challenging and labor intensive then originally conceived. Thousands of cracks in various sizes were discovered, repaired and sealed during the process with the entire wall then sealed using an approved Benjamin Moore sealant product before the final coat of paint was applied. The use of the Benjamin Moore sealer brings with it a 7 year warranty.
The new two-tone paint scheme mirrors the original look and feel of the wall circa 2001. The board would like to thank Jim McDonnell for all the attention and care he put into the project. Nice job Jim, it looks great. Anyone wishing to contact Jim McDonnell about any painting projects either interior or exterior can reach him by phone at 941.894.5363 or by e-mail at jamesmcdonnellpainting@yahoo.com.
Second HOA meeting Of 2008 is in the books
Posted: May 23rd, 2008 – The second Meadow Walk HOA meeting of 08? held on Wednesday May 21st was a sparsely attended affair, usually a sign that things are, and have been, relatively quiet in the neighborhood. An agenda for that meeting is listed below. As soon as a minutes of that meeting become available they will be posted here on the Meadow Walk website. Dolly Fenix, the boards Secretary was out of town for the meeting and Margaret Morrison, our Treasure, did her best to fill in taking notes. Eddie Martin volunteered his services for the Modification Committee replacing Sue Wards vacated spot on that committee. A special thanks to Eddie Martin who as a former board member has a great knowledge of the community. The board would like to thank those who attended the meeting.
MW Wall Restoration Project Along Palmer Blvd
Work commenced on the cleaning, repair and restoration of the Meadow Walks outer wall along Palmer Blvd. the beginning of this month. The outside of the wall was cleaned and treated with a mold retardant by Frank Briandi of ‘Frankie B’ Power Washing. Frank did a fine job cleaning and removing the mold spores along the outer section of the wall. The project was then handed over to new Meadow Walk resident Jim McDonnell of ‘McDonnell Painting Contractors’, Jim has already completed the cleaning, mold removal and repairs on the entire inter surface of the wall and will begin repairs on the outer surface next week. The repairs on the outer wall are proving to be much more extensive than those required on the interior. After all the repair work is completed the wall will receive a sparking coat of new paint in it’s original two-tone color scheme of Cocoa Sand with an accent lighter color along the top of the wall. Jim did a marvelous job on that interior section of the wall and is doing the work at a substantially discounted price for the entire Meadow Walk community. As Jim said it’s his “way of saying hello to all his new neighbors.” Thanks Jim, we appreciate the quality, craftsmanship and great price you’ve given us. As a footnote Jim and his wife Martina moved into Kevin and Marina Diners former home at 7358 Deer Crossing just a few weeks ago and anyone wishing to contact Jim can call ‘McDonnell Painting Contractor’s’ at (941-894-5363).

Chaz Allen Resigns as Meadow Walk Treasurer
On Monday February 18th Chaz Allen informed HOA President Gary Walsh of his intention to resign due to medical reasons as Meadow Walk HOA Treasurer effective immediately. Chaz Allen had been appointed last February replacing Betsy Dane, Meadow Walks long standing Secretary and Treasurer. He was elected to a new full two year term this past December. While in office Chaz instituted an on-line open-book system of accounting which enabled any Meadow Walk resident to view all financial records on-line. Chaz also did a great job in bringing most HOA fee accounts in delinquency up to date… no easy task as you can imagine. Gary Walsh is handling everything until a replacement can be found. I urge the community to remember that those serving on the Board are volunteers and receive no compensation. We’d like to that Chaz for all the effort and hours he put in and with him God speed in any and all issues he’s facing.
Gary Walsh Elected New HOA President
Gary Walsh, who was elected at the year end annual meeting this past December 19th has been named the new President of the Meadow Walk HOA. This isn’t Mr. Walsh’s first stint on the HOA Board and his knowledge of the community and experience in such matters will serve the Meadow Walk community well.
Gary was elected President by his peers on the Board. Dolly Fenix, newly elected, will assume the duties of Secretary relieving Andrea DelSanto. Joe Stewart, starts his fourth consecutive year on the Board byl assume the Vice President’s position replacing Diane Treharne. Chaz Allen, whose done a great job as Treasurer since taking over last February will continue in that role.
