  • Happy Holiday November 26, 2009 - The Fall 2009 Newsletter has hit the stands - just in time. As the ranks of Playa del Mar residents seasonally swell, our friends and neighbors are familiarizing themselves with the exciting improvements in staff, structure, amenities and ambiance - as well as a Management Office that exhibits a consistently high level of professionalism. PDM residents are benefitting from a unique synergism adapted to our difficult economic environment - a Board policy of squeezing extra milage out of every dime and Management talent capable of successfully implementing that policy! To experience a sense of the Board's commitment to frugally enhancing our home, read about what transpired at the Board Meeting. Board President Bob Boffa explains the benefit of staggered terms for those we elect to our Board in Message from the Board President. To help bring our snowbirds up to speed, we interviewed Management, maintenance and security personnel to better understand their current and upcoming challenges. The results are posted in the Building Report, which also contains helpful reminders for Residents, Lessees and Guests. To help returning snowbirds put names to some of the new faces that round out our staff, review Know your PDM Employees. Likewise, new neighbors and future friends are listed in Welcome New Residents And Owners. When the Galt Mile Reading Center was threatened with closure due to County Budget Politics, Galt Mile residents banded together to insure its survival - a campaign in which Playa del Mar was well represented. Read The Library & Recycling to learn how the Library was rescued and PDM's complicity with Fort Lauderdale's new one stream recycle system - as we continue to "Green our Routine." As always, Tidbits addresses a cross section of association issues, touching on the return of the snowbirds, appropriately thanking our employees and the seasonal installation of PDM Holiday Lighting.

  • Click to Playa del Mar Newsletter September 3, 2009 - Sorry about the delay! It behooved us to forestall publishing the Summer 2009 Newsletter to better encapsulate the many significant changes that Playa del Mar has recently experienced. After freeing Playa del Mar of Continental Management, the Board effectively filled the resulting management void with a blend of in house assets and new blood. To replace Continental's Sam Aponté, the PDM board propitiously secured the services of manager Paul Swan, an impressively credentialed, well-referenced manager whose experience includes 17 years of administering The Galleon, our sister association a few buildings north of PDM. Additionally, the Newsletter staff answers the rhetorical query "Who has been Watching the Store" with an overview of Playa del Mar's new management team, applauding the reconstructive efforts of working Director Michael Hickman, Chief Engineer Chris Palm, new Manager Paul Swan and Assistant Manager Rosie Bowers along with new secretary Ashley Knapp. Correctly advising unit owners to "Know your PDM Employees", the newsletter summarizes relevant background data about the ubiquitous Mr. Swan, new security chief José Dorta and front office sparkplug Ashley Knapp. PDM's commitment to sound environmental policy is reflected in "Green Your Routine", a city-sponsored recycling program that PDM enthusiastically supports. "Toothpick Beach!!" graphically describes the marking stakes delimiting the turtle nests that proliferate along the Galt Mile beach. Although it is the only dedicated local asset that we receive from Broward County in exchange for 26% of our tax dollars, to prevent the Galt Mile Reading Room from falling prey to county politics, Save the Galt Mile Library exclaims our participation in the neighborhood's effort to preserve this irreplaceable community asset. The fact-filled Tidbits section introduces new Treasurer Barry Snider, heralds an optimistic fiscal message from Board President Bob Boffa, welcomes back Koko and delivers other critical tidbits designed to ease our lifestyle. Peruse a list of your new neighbors in Welcome New Owners/Residents and read why the New Newsletter Format will save money - and trees.

  • Click to Playa del Mar Newsletter May 24, 2009 - OOPs! The web version of PDM Spring Newsletter got lost in the email! Notwithstanding, it was worth the wait - PDM Newshounds Phyllis, Barbara and Linda pumped the Spring edition full of good stuff. Sam Aponté's Manager’s Report contains only half of the office workings in this issue; read the other half in From the Front Office. Your New Board enumerates some of the hardworking board's achievements and outlines plans organized by creative Social Committee volunteers. Around PDM reviews some building notices and alerts. Stopping Calypso Coalition Wins!! expands on the Galt Mile's victory over the $multi-billion SUEZ Corporation.

In PDM Going Green, read about some of the steps taken by our association to implement a responsible energy policy (and save money!)

  • No Calypso March 1, 2009 - On February 18, 2009, Florida Governor Charlie Crist convened a "Town Hall" meeting for Galt Mile residents at the Beach Community Center. Invited by the Galt Mile Community Association, the Governor moderated an early afternoon Q & A "conversation" with 300 area residents and their public officials. While responding to questions about unemployment, how budget shortfalls could cripple education and medical inequities befalling the gay community, the Governor patiently awaited an invitation to address the meeting's undeclared political purpose, the reason he selected the Galt Mile neighborhood for his Town Meeting. Finally, Playa del Mar's Fred Nesbitt broke the tension, questioning whether it was "a good idea" to expose the surrounding communities to prospective catastrophic consequences - such as those threatened by the planned Calypso gasworks. As Nesbitt summarized the project's drawbacks and conjured a disaster scenario, the Governor announced, "How can we support that? Its GONE!" Since scores of communities across the country have recently expended hundreds of $millions to unsuccessfully address comparable threats, the Governor's decision was a testament to our neighborhood's unity and determination. Working with members of neighboring associations on the "No Calypso! Committee", other Playa del Mar residents joined Nesbitt at the forefront of this neighborhood campaign to expunge this potential holocaust. Linda Eidinger helped develop some of the salient "talking points" Nesbitt used to productively engage the Governor. An active participant on the Galt Mile Advisory Board whose members initially conceived the "No Calypso Committee", Rich Solewin also attended the meeting!

  • Vote February 7, 2009 - With the Playa del Mar Annual Meeting and adjunctive Board elections around the corner, the Winter 2009 edition of the PDM Newsletter has hit the street.

  • Click to Playa del Mar Newsletter November 9, 2008 - Although understandably tardy, the Fall 2008 edition of the PDM Newsletter is available for your perusal. Two points! First, the Newsletter staff has never processed more critical content than has been encapsulated in the Fall (October) Edition.

  • September 24, 2008 - On September 23, 2008, the City of Fort Lauderdale issued a precautionary water advisory. While performing routine maintenance on aeration system blowers at the Fiveash Water Treatment Plant, almost a quart of lubricant was accidentally spilled into an open water basin, prompting the City to immediately shut down the Fiveash water pumps and begin water testing to ensure that water quality was not affected. The advisory stated "As a precautionary measure, customers are advised to use bottled water for drinking and cooking. Customers served by City water are advised not to consume or cook with any tap water (even if boiled). Tap water may be used for washing and bathing." The warning also included Lauderdale-by-the-Sea, Oakland Park, Port Everglades Authority, Village of Sea Ranch Lakes, Wilton Manors, and sections of Davie and Tamarac. On Septemnber 24th, The City of Fort Lauderdale Public Works Department lifted the water advisory for customers in Fort Lauderdale and the other communities.

  • August 8, 2008 - It took a bit longer than usual, but the PDM newshounds were able to finally pull the Playa del Mar Newsletter together. With everyone rabidly barking at us, the newsletter "pack" was forced to shelve any vestige of "alpha" behavior and heel.

Its a dog eat dog world. Can you guess what the lead issue is? WOOF! The Playa del Mar Board of Directors updates the association's finances and our new Manager, Sam Aponte, gives a special report.

  • June 10, 2008 - You've doubtless heard - a French Energy company called SUEZ applied for a license to build a gasworks adjacent to our beach. The Calypso Deepwater Port (DWP) is a planned transfer station, enabling tankers carrying liquefied natural gas to dump their load, vaporize the liquid fuel into a gaseous state and send it through a pipeline (the Calypso pipeline) towards Port Everglades where it will be introduced into the Florida Gas Transmission Pipeline System for distribution across the region. Since the planned placement of this “Deepwater Port” for the offloading of Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) is 7 to 10 miles from the densely populated Galt Mile beach, it cleary affects every resident of Playa del Mar, the Galt Mile neighborhood and the City of Fort Lauderdale, especially those inhabiting the Barrier Island. In consideration of the holocaust this facility could potentially precipitate, the Playa del Mar Board of Directors has passed a resolution opposing the construction of this gasworks adjacent to our beach. Click Here to learn about this covert attempt to install this invitation to disaster, Click Here to read the Resolution passed by the Board of Directors in opposition to this threat to our lives and property and Click Here to read a Fact Sheet that summarizes the issue. Our representatives to the Galt Mile Community Association are working with their peers to elicit a VETO from Governor Crist, the only person in the State of Florida empowered to prevent this prospective catastrophe.

On the CRIME front, a positive report by Major Hanstein, the Galt Mile's Police District 1 Commander, confirmed that local crime dropped by 6% compared to last year - attributable primarily to the Galt Mile Security Patrol’s policing efforts along the beach and Galt Ocean Drive! In a somewhat embarrassing admission, Playa del Mar is the only member association along the Galt Mile that hasn't paid its share for the service. IS IT TOO EXPENSIVE? The cost for THE WHOLE YEAR is $20 per unit! HHmmm??? Click Here for the entire SPECIAL REPORT!!! To check a previous edition of the Playa del Mar Newsletter, Click Here to the Newsletter Archives.

  • March 30, 2008 - The Playa del Mar Board of Directors recently sent a constituent mailing containing several new PDM efficiency initiatives. Included was a request that association members share information about contractors deserving of recommendation. The office will compile a member-accessible database of these references to help PDM residents avoid hiring vendors or contractors whose credentials are questionable. To facilitate expedited unit owner communications, they also included a request for members' email addresses. Additionally, the Board is forming a host of useful Advisory Committees to more effectively address PDM's operational requisites. By pro-actively recruiting participants, the association aspires to take advantage of its greatest asset... DIVERSITY. Consistent with the Board's policy of keeping both in and out-of-residence PDM members abreast of critical issues and "Quality of Life" improvements, Board President Bob Boffa included a letter entitled "Progress Report Update" in the correspondence. Bob dispels disconcerting rumors about a mysterious assessment, clarifying that reserve funds provided for in the association budget will finance planned PDM decorations, obviating the need for a special assessment. He reports that PDM's projected operating deficit was diminished by $160,000, defective pool deck furniture is being replaced and a garage cleanup is planned for the summer, minimizing unavoidable inconvenience. Having successfully negotiated an understanding with contractor SPS, delayed repairs to blistered balcony railings, the damaged front portal roof and the front parking decks have all been scheduled - at no incremental cost to the association. He applauds the new Board's productive cooperation, thanking Vice President Dan Lecht, Secretary Annette Gamburg, Treasurer Fred Nesbitt and Director Carolyn Kervin for their teamwork.

  • March 8, 2008 - Like a cleansing northern wind, the people have spoken, again reconstituting the Playa del Mar Board of Directors. Over the past year, Playa residents were subjected to a disconcerting, frustrating exercise in unproductive political machinations. Anyone trying to engender progress was forced to take one step back for every two steps forward. Fed up with the political infighting and the unsolicited opinions of self-serving outsiders, voters cast the recent election as a mandate to cooperate or hit the road. However, old habits die hard. Shortly after the election, Mike DeMonia and Grace Antonello resigned from the Board, leaving President Bob Boffa, Vice President Dan Lecht, Secretary Annette Gamburg, Treasurer Fred Nesbitt and Director Carolyn Kervin to do the heavy lifting. Once settled in, the Board members will select two additional volunteers to fill out the shorthanded panel. The good news is that the remaining Board members are committed to working together, brightening the prospect for progress! Click Here to see the new Playa del Mar Board lineup.

Hands-on construction honcho Mike DeMonia runs down PDM’s remaining structural obstacles while emphasizing a policy of cost control. Newsletter staffers met with Broward Commissioner Ken Keechl and Congressman Ron Klein, who addressed the upcoming Beach Restoration and recent efforts to moderate runaway Insurance Premiums. Details surrounding the recall of former Board member Mark Stern are reviewed. A list of PDM’s newest residents has been compiled and published and condolences extended to Board member Grace Antonello upon the passing of her father, longtime PDM resident Gennaro DeMaio.

This final edition for 2007 features PDM Manager Keith Tannenbaum’s fact-packed Manager’s Report and a summary of the September 25th Board Meeting. A critical issue undertaken at the Board Meeting, Association Finances, received additional focus in an article devoted to PDM budgetary statistics. An article entitled Vanguard Security (the company contracted to upgrade association protection and safety) introduces Joy Puertas, a 9-year Vanguard veteran who courteously serves as the front reception desk hub of our new security strategy. A miscellaneous catchall for intriguing Association news bytes, “Tidbits” frames the biographical background and daily challenges faced by our maintenance wizard, José Lucero; offers highlights from a recent PDM Barbeque; details the critical role played by our new DVR multiplexor and videocamera array in successfully resolving the mysterious disappearance of some momentarily unattended valuables - and other “curious” PDM events.
