PUBLIC COMMENT SESSION
A resident came in to speak with the Board and express his opinions regarding the Nord and Soud beach erosion issues. He feels the concrete drains were poorly constructed around five years ago when repaired but his was working properly before it was replaced. He said he was in the construction field and has now maintained his concrete drain as well as his neighbors and they are working great. He said the rest of the beach you can see major issues of erosion and feels as though he can help assist with the erosion issue. Leslie thanked him for the information presented and asked that he work together with the LICA management team to come up with efficient ways control the erosion issues on the Island. Another resident came in to speak with the Board regarding a letter she received from LICA management stating she has two wet boat spaces currently being rented. The letter states a household on Lido is only allowed to rent one wet boat space at a time. She attended the meeting to ask the Board to make an exception and allow her to continue renting both wet boat spaces. This resident explained to the Board that her father who lives with her has lived on the Island for over 50 years and needs the onshore mooring they rent to get to his offshore mooring. They currently rent spaces at the Antibes boat garden and an onshore mooring. The Board listened to her request and stated they would take it all into consideration and will inform her of their decision soon.
MINUTES
Marion made a motion to approve the November 14, 2018 Board minutes as written. The motion was seconded by Mike and passed.
Manager’s Report

Escrow Report:
There have been 41 escrows opened in 2018 with 31 closed. For the same period in 2017, there were 46 escrows opened with 45 closed and 0 canceled.
Park & Beach Sand Leveling- Sand Erosion:
Dave Cousyn smoothed and leveled sand at the Genoa/Nord playground area as well as the LICA beach. We will have him out Wednesday, December 12th (Board meeting day) to smooth out large areas of sand erosion and concern along the Via Lido Nord and Via Lido Soud beach areas. The beaches were heavily eroded after this last storm and we will also have him remove all exposed drains along the beach areas. LICA staff is currently sweeping the Island looking for damaged concrete drains and areas that could pose an immediate danger to residents. LICA staff will be sending out a Constant Contact informing the residents of the erosion issues and when they can expect Cousyn out to smooth out the deeply affected areas. LICA staff will be placing cones and caution tape in any dangerous areas to help alleviate any tripping or falling hazards.
Red Curb – All Island Survey:
The survey has been finalized and will be mailed out to the entire Island by Tuesday, December 11th, 2018. The residents have been given a timeframe to submit their completed surveys to the LICA office by Monday, January 7th by close of business.

COMMITTEE REPORTS
LANDSCAPE:
Marion informed the Board the Landscape committee has spoken with the city in regards to the median projects and have been informed there are two types of permits when the city designates a property for improvment. There is leased land like the street end parks but on the median at Antibes, only the monument sign area on Soud and the palm tree area on the Nord side have encroachment permits. The middle area of the median would require a separate encroachment permit to allow LICA to renovate the landscape. Marion informed the Board that each median on the city streets would require an encroachment permit to do separately but they can also request a master encroachment permit at the Boards direction. The Board directed the Landscape committee to request the master encroachment permit from the city. Marion informed the Board the Landscape committee will bring their ideas for the street end parks renovation to them for conceptual approval at a future meeting.
EROSION:
Mike expressed his concern over the erosion at Via Lido Soud and Firenze street end park. Mike informed the Board the bench at the end of the street end park continues to have major erosion below it. Mike believes this could cause a serious safety concern and would like to see something done about it immediately. The Board discussed it and has directed LICA management to immediately remove the bench as an emergency item. LICA would then replace the bench at a later date when the renovation of the street end park begins.
MARINE FACILITIES:
Scott brought some examples of waterproof LICA stickers that could be placed on Lido residents boats for easy identification purposes. This would act as something like a permit that could be tracked and include an app. The waterproof sticker would have a number on it which LICA staff or the Security Patrol officers could easily identify with their address as well as a phone number to contact them. Scott will work with Steve to put together a presentation to the Board for possible implementation at a future meeting.
WEBSITE:
Shana informed the Board the website host will draft a letter that will be sent out to inform the members of the Island on how best to utilize the website.
