POST-VACATION FOOD DONATION

Second Helpings is working again this year to collect food from visitors after their vacation. Partnering with vacation rental companies, Second Helpings is encouraging tourists to make their last stop on their HHI vacation a food dropoff.

The Second Helpings truck will be parked at the Grayco Hardware and Home Store parking lot on Palmetto Bay Road every Saturday morning from 8:00 until 11:00 am. Volunteers will be on hand to accept unopened, nonperishable groceries to benefit those in need. Food donations can also be dropped off at the Palmetto Dunes Pass Office at 16 Queens Folly Rd.

Please help spread the word to your short-term rental guests! You can download the flyer to display in your property at pdpoa.org/str.

HOUSEKEEPING PASSES

As the rental season approaches, it's important for homeowners and housekeeping companies to be aware of the pass requirements for Palmetto Dunes. If you are a homeowner who has a housekeeper that services individual properties, you can apply for a Domestic Pass through the Pass Office. This pass, which is renewable annually, grants housekeepers no-cost access to the community from Monday to Friday.

To qualify for the domestic list, a housekeeper must service no more than two properties within Palmetto Dunes or Leamington and must not be affiliated with a housekeeping company. Once a housekeeper is approved for the Domestic Pass, homeowners are relieved of the responsibility to call in daily passes, streamlining the process for both parties for the entire year.

WELCOME ZOE!

Zoe Slingluff has joined the association as Visitor Management Coordinator. She will be responsible for all tasks associated with short-term rentals, as well as the management of private citations and the administration of the monthly hearing board meetings.

Zoe grew up on Hilton Head Island and is a graduate of the University of South Carolina-Beaufort. She previously worked at Beach Properties as their Guest Services Coordinator.

UPCOMING LAGOON LOWERING

May 8 & June 12

Our lagoon system is periodically lowered to promote the health of the waterway. Please note that dates are always subject to change/cancelation.

Chairman's Report

We are gearing up for what may be a busy summer in Palmetto Dunes. The beauty of the resort could not be accomplished without the Facilities and Maintenance Team. Our Facilities Manager, Sydney Wan, has gone above and beyond working to complete projects at the Dunes House and Mooring Bouy. We had a slight slowdown on Mooring Buoy as Broad Creek Utility had difficulty connecting the old water lines with the new water lines, but things are back on track to have that project completed by the end of April. We are scheduling a meeting with Broad Creek Public Service District to learn more about their infrastructure and maintenance schedule as it relates to aging equipment.

The Dunes House Project is in the last phase of completion. Visitors and guests continue to find ways to creatively park where they are not supposed to. Please remember to park in designated areas, leaving the two-lane ingress and egress open for better traffic flow and emergency access to the Dunes House and the beach. The Palmetto Dunes Beach Park at Disney is also available for beach parking.

The organizational assessment of PDPOA is being completed to determine if there are improvements that could be made to increase efficiency and reduce costs. As we know costs keep rising and

we want to assure you that we are using the resources to provide high quality services for your money.

Along those same lines a Reserve Study is being updated to assure replacement of bridges and improvements and maintenance of roads is on the best track to optimize any techniques that might provide additional life before any need to be replaced. Once the board has an opportunity to review any recommendations from both the organizational assessment and the Reserve Study, we can better determine the path forward.

The ARB has been busy updating the Design and Construction Guidelines based on previous experiences. The ARB is also collaborating with other committees on additional priority items. The ARB and

Board will review the member comments before bringing those revisions to the board for approval. A big thank you to the members of the ARB and staff; Dixon Hanna, Thomas Belenchia, Ed Finison, Maureen Glass, Doug Luba, Bob Talbot, Dan Wolf and Monica Stites for their time and effort they dedicate to assuring Palmetto Dunes is looking its best.

Thanks also to the Social Committee for hosting the first Game Card Night for owners at the PDPOA Administration Office in April. Other important events in May include a Sunset Cruise on May 9th and a Town Hall with Tamara Becker, Ward 4 Town Council Representative on May 30. Registration for both events can be found on the PDPOA website under Events.

Wishing you a fabulous summer!

— Becky Brumley, Chair

Treasurer's Report

Imagine your home – a well-maintained, comfortable haven for your family. Now, imagine neglecting its roof repairs, ignoring cracks in the foundation, and letting the landscaping wither. That's what happens to a community when a homeowners' association (HOA) lacks a healthy reserve fund.

Reserves are the unsung hero of a well-managed HOA. They're the financial cushion that ensures our community stays attractive, functional, and prepared for unforeseen challenges. Let's delve deeper into why reserves are crucial for a thriving HOA.

Planned vs. Panicked:

Without reserves, essential repairs become an unwelcome surprise that can derail our budget. A deteriorated bridge or unforeseen storm can become a financial crisis, forcing assessments to skyrocket. This can strain resident relationships and lead to financial hardship for some. With reserves, however, the HOA anticipates and plans for these eventualities. Routine maintenance schedules are developed, and funds are readily available to address issues before they escalate into major problems. This proactive approach prevents costly emergencies and maintains overall property values within the community.

Preserving the Beauty and Functionality:

In our case, we maintain our beautiful 11mile lagoon system, 2 lakes, 12 bridges, 21 miles of roads and leisure paths, 18 beach access points, our administration building and 2 boat/kayak launches, a fishing deck and a community boat ramp. These amenities require regular maintenance and potential upgrades over time. Reserve funds ensure that the community retains its visual appeal and continues to offer amenities residents enjoy. Imagine a road that leads

to your part of the community becoming unusable due to a lack of funds for repairs. Reserves prevent this scenario.

Long-Term Vision:

Every community has a future, and the PDPOA needs to plan for it. Reserves allow us to address long-term projects, such as repaving roads, replacing bridges, or upgrading outdated infrastructure. Without secure reserve funds, these crucial improvements get delayed, potentially impacting the safety and value of the community.

Unexpected Expenses:

Life throws curveballs, and we are not exempt. Natural disasters, unforeseen repairs, or legal issues can put a strain on finances. A healthy reserve fund acts as a safety net, protecting the community from unexpected financial burdens.

Strength in Numbers:

Healthy reserves are a sign of fiscal responsibility and foresight, making your community a more attractive place to live. Adequate reserve funds enhance resale values because real estate agents and lenders are aware of the importance of funding reserves.

Building a Culture of Sustainability:

Having a reserve fund fosters a long-term perspective within the PDPOA. It encourages responsible planning and discourages short-sighted solutions. This fosters a culture of sustainability within the community, where residents understand the importance of shared responsibility and proactive management.

Maintaining Reserves: A Collective Effort:

The success of reserves hinges on a joint effort.

The Board:

• Should develop a clear reserve plan outlining funding goals and allocation strategies.

• Conduct regular assessments to ensure

reserve levels remain adequate.

• Educate residents on the importance of reserves and their role in maintaining a thriving community.

Residents:

• Should pay their assessments on time to ensure a steady inflow of funds.

• Participate in discussions about reserve plans and understand their impact on the community.

• Report maintenance issues promptly, preventing minor problems from escalating into costly repairs.

Our Reserves:

PDPOA has 6 reserve funds, each with a different purpose, but all linked and balanced to provide a sound financial footing for our association. These funds and their balances at the end of February are:

Operating Fund

$3.2 million

Repair & Replacement Fund $10.0 million

Storm Reserve $3.2 million

Community Enhancement Fund $3.7 million

General Fund $4.4 million

ARB Reserve $1.1 million

Total Reserves $25.6 million

The management and investment of these funds is guided by our Investment Policy Statement. The level of the funds is determined by periodic reserve studies, the latest which will be completed in the coming months.

Conclusion:

Reserves are not just a financial buffer; they're a cornerstone of a healthy, cohesive HOA. They ensure the long-term sustainability and value of your community, fostering a sense of pride and security for residents. By actively contributing to building and maintaining healthy reserves, everyone benefits from a beautiful, functional, and resilient neighborhood to call home.

ST. PATRICK'S DAY BLOCK PARTY

Promontory Court held its first Block Party of 2024 on St. Patrick's Day. Thanks to the Organizing Committee (Rhonda, Brian, Michele and Wayne) and to all the neighbors who attended and brought beverages or a side dish to share. Weather was terrific. Even those neighbors who attended or participated in the local parade made it back to the party.

Community Events

Wildlife Safety

Warm spring weather means alligators are more active and more visible. Rising temperatures increase an alligator's metabolism, which means they begin seeking prey. Occasionally you'll see them basking in the sun as they regulate their body temperature. Alligator mating season begins in early April and goes into June.

This means that you may encounter an alligator when walking near the water, participating in recreational water activities, or if the alligator has been fed and become habituated to humans. While we do not wish to inspire fear, we do want to take this opportunity to remind our owners and guests to always use caution around bodies of water and to remain vigilant of your surroundings.

Large alligators do not recognize the difference between domestic pets and wild food sources. When hungry, alligators act on their hunting instinct. Do not allow pets or children to swim in, drink, or play at the edge of waters inhabited by alligators. To an alligator, any splash potentially means a food source is in the water.

If you encounter an alligator in Palmetto Dunes that you believe to be aggressive or used to humans and you have a safety concern, contact Palmetto Dunes Dispatch at (843) 785-1120.

Alligator Safety

DO NOT feed alligators. Feeding alligators is illegal and can result in substantial fines and/or jail time.

DO NOT approach alligators, no matter how big or small. Alligators can move fast!

DO NOT walk up to an alligator to take a photo or to see it closer.

DO NOT taunt, tease or bait alligators.

DO NOT swim in lakes or lagoons.

DO keep your distance. If you encounter an alligator, walk backward and away from it.

DO keep your pets and children away from alligators.

DO keep pets on a leash and away from the water.

DO report any aggressive behavior, or alligator feeding and harassment, to the Palmetto Dunes Security Department.

Sea Turtle Nesting Season

Sea turtles begin nesting on Hilton Head Island's beaches in early May! A female turtle may travel over a thousand miles to make it back to the same beach where she hatched as a baby, and it’s this same beach where she will lay her own eggs (about 120 per nest!) as an adult. What can you do to give them the best chance of survival?

Leave only your footprints on the beach. Be sure to flatten sandcastles and fill in holes when you're headed home for the day. Uneven and treacherous sand can deter mothers from nesting and trap hatchlings, making them vulnerable to prey and exposure.

After hatching, the young turtles navigate to the ocean by following the slope of the beach and light reflected off the ocean’s surface. Lights that are brighter than this natural light, such as a flashlight, disorient the hatchlings and cause them to move inland, where they often die. Don’t use flashlights, flash photography or cell phone lights on the beach at night. You can, however, use a special red flashlight. Oceanfront homes MUST turn off outside lights at 10pm May through October. Blinds/drapes should be closed as well. To report beachfront light violations, contact the Town of Hilton Head Island Code Enforcement at 843-341-4643.

Protect the nests. We know you wouldn't disturb a sea turtle nest, a nesting sea turtle, or a hatchling. However, sometimes our pets have different ideas. If you have your dog on the beach, ensure that they are supervised and kept away from nests.

Spread the word. Every time you share what you know about sea turtles with your neighbors and guests, you help ensure these magnificent creatures will be around for generations to come.

Hurricane Season 2024

An extremely active Atlantic hurricane season is likely in 2024, the Colorado State University (CSU) hurricane forecasting team says in its latest seasonal forecast. The CSU team is calling for 23 named storms, 11 hurricanes, and five major hurricanes. This forecast is the most aggressive one ever issued in the 30 years that the CSU team has been issuing April forecasts.

The Atlantic hurricane season runs from June 1 to Nov. 30, though storms sometimes form outside those dates. It is important to prepare each year, regardless of the activity predicted.

The PDPOA administrative staff, in conjunction with the Board of Directors, have been proactive in preparing our resort for any significant weather event. We have established designated recovery teams, obtained appropriate equipment and have written protocols covering both evacuation and re-entry.

In the event of an emergency or natural disaster, please look to your county and local government officials, along with the PDPOA and trusted media sources. For information specific to Palmetto Dunes, notifications will be sent via text alerts, the Tidings enews, and will also be posted on our website.

Hurricane Preparedness Tips

Hurricane preparedness is a way of life on the East Coast. Everyone needs to develop a plan to evacuate the Island and to protect individuals, pets and property.

Sign up for the Sheriff’s Office NIXLE alert and advisory system at local.nixle. com.

Hurricane winds can cause trees and branches to fall, so trim or remove damaged trees and limbs before hurricane season to keep both you and your property safe.

Make your emergency plan now. Plan shelter options and know your evacuation route. Sign up for alerts and warnings from Beaufort County and the Town of Hilton Head Island.

Put together a go-bag: Disaster supply kit including a flashlight, batteries, cash, first aid supplies, medications, food, water, and copies of your critical information in case you need to evacuate. Be sure to include items to meet the household needs of children, parents, individuals with disabilities, or pets, if needed.
