Frequently Asked Questions Regarding Our New Accounting Firm

The transition to our new Board of Directors approved accounting firm, Sharma & Associates in Broward County is going very well.

The quarterly statement for the 4th quarter is normally due October 1, however, the new firm required time to input the 1234 residents' information and prepare the statements. Due to the delay in sending out the statements your 4th quarter's payment will not be due until November 1st, 2021.

Below are the most frequently asked questions and answers about this change.
When will the 4th quarter bills be sent to the owners?

Ans- The data for every one of the 1234 owner’s accounts had to be transferred into the Data Base. The statements are now ready and are being mailed out.

Where do I send my Payment?

Ans- If you are an owner who normally sends in a check for your quarterly statement, or your financial institution mails it for you, please update your records and notify your bank to mail payment to:

J.L. POA
c/o Valley Bank
PO Box 166306
Miami, Florida 33116.  
Please update this information with your bank if they
Please make sure your JL address is on the check.

How do I change my address where the bill is mailed to?

Ans-You should have received an email from ComWeb giving you instruction as to how you can check your balance, see if payments have been applied to your account, manage your address, and make a one- time bill pay. You must sign up for this service.


What do I do if my lending institution or bank has already sent in a payment for the 4th quarter? 

Ans-The POA did not change Banks, only the accounting firm. We still bank with Valley Bank. The accounting firm will pull those monies up and then credit your account. 
 

CONTACTING SECURITY VS SHERIFF

The residents of Jonathan’s Landing are fortunate to have a well-trained and highly motivated security staff 24 hours per day 7 days per week providing added safety and security to our community.

JL Security handles gate access and does frequent perimeter and internal patrols. JL Security also deals with issues related to the quality of life in JL and makes every effort to enforce JL rules.

With very few exceptions, JL Security achieves voluntary compliance with the rules. JL Security can only bring a problem to the attention of those involved and attempt to gain compliance. 

There could be times when JL Security will not be able to obtain compliance and would then report the issue to the POA Board, respective Village Board or Palm Beach Sheriff’s Department.
 
If you need assistance from JL Security, call 561-747-1141 option 3.
 
JL Security is not a policing agency and is not authorized to enforce county, state, or federal laws. Policing of state and county laws in JL is done by the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office (PBSO).

It is customary practice throughout private communities that security officers do not call the police on residents unless there is a suspected violation of Florida law. Domestic violence, elder abuse, serious auto accidents with injuries or property damage, and assault and battery are examples of when JL Security would call the Sheriff’s office.
 
If a resident sees a violation of Florida law or has an emergency, they should call the PBSO by dialing 911. In most cases it is not necessary for the caller to give their name, meet with the Deputy or to confront the offending party.
 
JL IRRIGATION PUMP REPLACEMENT PROJECT

One of the more recent projects being undertaken now is the work you will be seeing all around JL involving open trenches, according to Lucas Jones, our new JL Operations Manager.

Replacing old irrigation water pumps that had been broken and/or in poor repair with new, highly efficient ones is the ultimate goal.

These pumps serve to remove the collected water from our JL Lake and send that water through the pipes all around JL leading to the sprinkler system and helping to keep our grass and plants alive and lush looking.

The small flags you might be seeing around the worksites are markers for various public utility lines like electricity, water, sewer and cable. The work must be done carefully in order to ensure that no existing lines serving JL are broken.

Due to current supply shortages, there is no firm timeframe for completion.
WE HOPE TO SEE YOU THERE!!!
