Annual Board Meeting Continuation

Residents,

The Board of Directors for Evergreen will continue its Annual Meeting on Thursday, April 24th, at 6 p.m. at Peter and Julie Cummings Library in Palm City. The agenda can be found here.

Please complete your proxy if you do not intend to attend the Annual Meeting. Completing the proxy will give us enough residents to hold the Annual Meeting so those in attendance can vote on the 2025-26 Budget.

Annual Meeting update

Residents,

On March 27th, Evergreen held its Annual Meeting for its Members. However, at the meeting, we did not meet the minimum quorum requirement. According to the Evergreen bylaws, we require a minimum of 90 property owners, either in person or by proxy. Our total was only 64.

This is important because the community cannot vote on the 2025-26 Annual Budget. For the residents in attendance, a poll was taken to determine whether to postpone the Annual Meeting to a future date or to use the 2024-25 budget. The vote on the floor was to push the meeting to a future date. That meeting will be our next monthly meeting, scheduled for Thursday, April 24th, at the Cummings Library in Palm City. Below is the letter that Coastal Management will send to property owners in the coming days.

If you are unable to attend, please complete and return the proxy form as soon as possible. If you have already submitted a proxy at the previous Annual Meeting, you do not need to submit another one. Please fill out the Proxy and return it in the envelope provided or fax it to Coastal Property Management at 772-266-9801 prior to the meeting.

 In order to hold this meeting, it is crucial that the association meets the quorum requirement of 90 members to approve the 2025-2026 Budget.

 Please make every effort to attend or submit your proxy to ensure we meet this quorum requirement.

If you have any questions, please contact Angelo at Coastal Property Management.

Immediate Security Update

Re: Immediate Security Update

March 23rd, 2025

Residents,

At the last POA Board of Directors Meeting on February 27, 2025, the Board immediately motioned to eliminate blanket openings at the Guard Gate for the overall security and safety of the community and its members.

So, what does a blanket opening mean? This is when residents tell the security staff not to call, and everyone is approved to enter the community. So, if a visitor comes up to the gate and there is a blanket opening allowed, the visitor can come straight into the community without anyone knowing. From now on, for any visitor not on your friends & family or vendors list, the security staff must call that property owner so that those individual(s) can enter Evergreen with a valid ID. If the security staff cannot reach the property owner, that visitor or vendor will be turned away.

Secondly, according to this change, G-Force Security will send out a letter and guest and vendor form to update your lists. We are asking all residents to update their guest and vendor lists. If property owners decide to update their lists before receiving communication from G-Force, please call the Guard House with those changes.

Third, we will work with Crane Watch Club to help provide scheduled tee times at the guardhouse. We understand Crane Watch Club has an average of 20% of its members enter and exit through the Evergreen gates, so we want to ensure our family-orientated community is safe at all times of the day and year.

Lastly, the Board of Directors is asking residents to stay diligent and keep their vehicles and houses locked, and garages closed when not outside monitoring them. The head of G-Force Security, Gary Ackerman, a resident in Evergreen, has passed this information along to the Board and community members for the open-door Martin County Sheriff Forum held every 3rd Thursday of the month.

The Board appreciates the community’s due diligence in this matter going forward. If there are any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to the Board of Directors, Coastal Property Management, or G-Force Security. Everyone is in line with this initiative.

 

Kind Regards,

Evergreen Board of Directors

Thursday and Future Board Meetings

Good afternoon, Evergreen Neighbors:
 
Happy Monday, and hope everyone is having a great day! The Board of Directors would like to take a minute to discuss the Annual Meeting for Thursday. There has been some discussion floating around about moving the meeting from Crane Watch Club to Peter and Julie Cumming Library in Palm City.
Unfortunately, we could not reserve the room in time, so we decided to keep the Annual meeting at Crane Watch Club for this Thursday. However, future meetings will be held at the library starting in April. We have room at the library reserved for the next 11 months.
If any resident has questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to contact one of the board members or Angelo from Coastal Property Management.
We hope to see you on Thursday. Please complete your proxies and send them in via email, fax, or drop-off on Thursday.

C-23 Tree Removal

If you have any questions, please contact Sherry McCorkle, Senior External Affairs Specialist for Martin and St. Lucie County in the Office of Communication and Public Engagement for the South Florida Water Management District.  Sherry can be reached at: smccorkl@nullsfwmd.gov

Annual Board Meeting Agenda Mar. 27th

Evergreen/Windstone Water Update

Residents,
As mentioned in the Board Meeting on February 27th and the letter from Martin County dated February 24th, the Evergreen/Windstone Water Project has officially started. Martin County has started the project on Bimini South. Please make sure the following:
· Please drive with caution throughout the community during the entire length of the project. Pipes and materials will be placed in different locations throughout the community.
· Follow and adhere to directions given by the flagman and construction workers to ensure a safe work environment.
· Please allow extra time to travel through the community.
· Seek alternative routes when necessary.
· Please continue to follow posted speed limits in the community.
· DO NOT remove or disturb any of the flags placed in your yard by the county. They are there to ensure that underground utility assets are not damaged.
· Please let the construction workers do their jobs. If something seems suspicious, please get in touch with the guard house.
The project will take roughly 270 calendar days to complete. If residents have questions, please feel free to contact Dave Duncan, Senior Project Management for Martin County Utilities and Solid Waste Department. You can reach Dave at 772.221.1303 or dduncan@nullmartin.fl.us.
Thank you for your patience and due diligence through this project.
 
Have a great day!
 
Evergreen Board of Directors

Coastal Property Management

Good evening, Residents,

As you may be aware, Evergreen has a new Property Management Company, Coastal Property Management, starting March 1st. Residents should have received a welcome email from Coastal with steps to access and set up the login and password through their portal.

The portal is now live, and we are encouraging residents to set up the information on the Coastal website before April 1st dues are due. Residents will receive the board-approved annual budget from the Feb. 27th meeting, which will be voted on by the community at the annual meeting on March 27th.

Lastly, the Board of Directors would like to welcome Coastal Property Management to Evergreen and look forward to working with Richard Krett, Coastal President, and our new property manager, Angelo Palmeri.

The Board of Directors would also like to thank Stephen Skakandy and Jupiter Management for their assistance over the years of our contract.
