Hi fellow Bull River
Bluffians,
I would like to welcome
you to the Bull River Bluff Website ! It has been my pleasure to serve as resident
manager for the past year & along with the Bd. of Directors, make some much
needed improvements to our beautiful property . Let me mention of a few!
THE LOOKS
·
The
pool renovation could not have turned out better! I have never seen so much use
of the pool by
OUR (BLUFF)residents.
The conversion to a Saline (Salt-Water) System has gotten rave reviews along w/
the landscaping around the area. The pool tags have been very successful in deterring
unauthorized users from our pool. If you still have not contacted me to get your
tag, please do so.
·
We
have also made big gains in our approach to upkeep & improvements of our grounds.
Manker Landscaping has been excellent & the landscape committee has done a great
job with new designs for sprucing up some tired areas. I’m sure you have noticed
the difference. Much of this has been done w/ largely volunteer labor allowing us
to do more with less expense. This will continue as we conquer more landscape projects.
·
Another
huge potential plus for us is explained in the Dock Proposal under the “News, Coming
Events” link. Please view it &
fill out the information page to drop in my box @ the mail-kiosk.
THE BOOKS
·
Tackling
the job of large scale building maintenance along w/ a complete reserve plan to
budget for that work is next on the horizon.
I’m working w/ the Bd. to establish a plan that is funded, on a schedule & proactive
rather than reactive towards our maintenance issues. We have several major decisions
facing us in that regard.
·
With
major help from Jennifer Ramsey, we have also streamlined our collections policy
for late amenities. It has been very effective & we have seen a big improvement
in the Associations ability to collect from those in arrears. Please realize that
when you are late w/ your payment, you affect everyone in the Association by causing
budget issues & potential problems from mortgage lenders because non-payment
under minds the financial integrity of our Association.
I’m hearing that
all of these improvements have generated a positive buzz in the real estate community
about our future, something that had been missing. Let’s be proud of the Bluff !
It is a very unique property & has much to offer its residents. With a lagoon
in the middle, beautiful grounds, endless views towards the Bull River & a wooded
tidal creek area bordering the North side of our property, it’s like being in a
nature preserve . I hope you have had a chance to see the Bald Eagle pair soaring
around here lately.
As
you surf through the site you will find it is full of helpful information for residents
of Bull River Bluff. My link ( Managers
Page) will serve as an informational tool. The “Around The Bluff” button will give
a brief update keeping you informed
of happenings w/ in our community. The “Tell the Manager” button allows residents
to print & submit various forms or requests to me.
The “Resident Learning
“ button will allow me to provide information &
explain important procedures every
unit owner must know. A drop down menu
will be there allowing you to just choose the appropriate subject. If you have any
questions, please call (912) 667-3126) or email me
d.scoggin@comcast.net .
Sincerely,
David Scoggin
