President's Message

Dear Harbor Beach Neighbor,

he Fall Season has arrived and before we experience the upcoming flurry
of activity the Boat Show brings, Harbor Beach wishes to welcome back our
Tresidents who have been on summer hiatus.

In your Florida mailbox, some of you may find a reminder notice from the Harbor
Beach Property Homeowners Association, Inc. of $895.00 for the year 2024
Maintenance Dues. Those monies collected by the HBPHOA are separate from
HBI Security Patrol and are responsible for insurance, guardhouse maintenance
and lighting, gates and gate actuators, radar speed limit signs, seasonal planting,
painting, iguana control, bi-annual coconut removal, holiday decor, and other newly
HBPHOA Board Officers identified special projects, such as entry signs in need of freshening.

President Where are these projects in the queue?
Annette Ross
As of this writing. we remain in storm season and October is historically a very active
month. Many of you remember Hurricane Wilma in 2005. Her wrath of destruction
Vice Presidents arrived on OCTOBER 24th. HBPHOA has been mindful of that horrific day ever since
Barry Somerstein pushing maintenance, clean-up and seasonal planting as close to the Boat Show
barrys@harborbeach.org opening day as possible. The recent occurrence of Hurricane Helene to our northern
Kurt Holstein
kurth@harborbeach.org neighbors is a fierce and terrifying reminder. Add in Hurricane Milton, barreling
Michael Rinzler toward Tampa as we go to press, and it's another trying time of year for all of us.
michaelr@harborbeach.org You might want to make note of the City's Hurricane Hotline as posted below.

Treasurer District 4 Commissioner Warren Sturman takes on noise,
Ann Cadwalader traffic and water pollution in Harbor Beach and beyond.

Noise. Too frequent and at odd hours Fire Alarm testing at Pier 66's construction site
has been testing our residents’ patience and interrupting sleep. Commissioner
Secretary Sturman along with Fort Lauderdale Fire Chief Stephen Gollan met with the Pier's
Trish Bailey-Entin
trishbe@harborbeach.org representatives and negotiated a significant reduction and implemented restricted
hours in testing. Uninterrupted peaceful sleep has returned and gratitude abounds
Board Members throughout our neighborhood.
Mike Byrne Cut-through traffic. South Ocean Boulevard's residents experience a daily influx of
mikeb@harborbeach.org unnecessary cut-through traffic on their very narrow street. Without sidewalks, the
Tim Stocksdale possibility of a tragic accident is very real. Commissioner Sturman met with residents
tims@harborbeach.org and the HBPHOA and tasked City of Fort Lauderdale Transportation and Mobility to
Jake Wurzak
jakew@harborbeach.org offer solutions to the problem. A special meeting to discuss is being scheduled in the
month of October.
