A New Lake Management Contractor
 
Our 62 acre winding freshwater lake is an important asset to our JL Community. The JL Lake Committee and the JL POA have made great progress in the past years. Jointly they have decided that the next step would be to hire a new company to manage our lake.
 
As of November 1, 2021, the JL Board of Directors has done just that. They have hired a new lake management company. Solitude Lake Management is a nation-wide company that specializes in the development and execution of customized lake, pond, wetland, and fisheries management programs that include water quality testing and restoration, nutrient remediation, algae, and aquatic weed control, installation and maintenance of fountains and aeration systems, bathymetry, mechanical harvesting and hydro-raking, lake vegetation studies, biological assessments, habitat evaluations, and invasive species management.
 
In addition to lake management, Solitude offers extensive educational programs for residents of the communities it serves. They will be working with our own JL Water Quality Subcommittee to produce an informative Town Hall meeting in the near future.

Introducing Vendor ID
 
The JLPOA will be Beta testing the Vendor ID program starting November 1, 2021.

The Vendor program will facilitate entry and speed up the process at the Central and North gates. 
Vendor ID is integrated with the GateAccess program that is used to call in and register guests and vendors. This Vendor ID program has been successfully used at other nearby communities, and our vendors are familiar with its operation.
 
The JLPOA and Security Committee request that you encourage your vendors to use this program.
Vendors can register at the North Gate by presenting a Driver’s License and current vehicle Insurance Card. They must also complete and sign the VID application agreeing to abide by JL rules and regulations.

Vendors are then provided an entry photo ID card that can be used at the Central and North gates. The resident can opt for a text or email notification via the GateAccess program when the vendor arrives. The result is convenient access for vendors and increased security for Jonathan’s Landing.

Electronic Voting in 2022

The JL POA Board of Directors has approved a contract with Vote Now LLC for the implementation of electronic voting.

Electronic voting will be used for our board member elections and for any amendments to the POA documents.  This process will not only make our elections more secure and convenient but will save us money.

As required by Florida statute, homeowners must opt-in to the electronic system. Our plan is to begin the opt in process in December so that we have several months for homeowners to enroll in this new system. Detailed information on the opt-in process will be sent out in late November.

Paper ballots will remain an option for those who are not comfortable with the electronic process, but we hope a majority of our owners will make the move to electronic voting.
