Announcements
While many residents enjoy getting to and from the golf course on their own golf cart, please remember that general travel on our neighborhood roads in a golf cart is in violation of Florida Statute. In addition, a golf cart may not be operated by anyone under the age of 14. TPD officers have stopped carts within SummerBrooke to issue warnings to drivers/passengers who are not traveling to/from the course, but such a violation is also considered a noncriminal traffic infraction and can result in a ticket/fine. Residents have also expressed concerns to the board about the safety of younger children seen operating golf carts. Please remind your golf cart drivers of these rules.
Now that it’s summer and many people take vacations, Officer Andy Berensten with the TPD Community Relations Unit would like to remind residents about TPD’s Extra Patrol/House/Business Check service. Simply follow the link below and complete the form to request a special check on your property during a vacation or any period of time you may be away. For more information about this service, please contact the Public Information Office at (850) 891-4200.

2010-2011 homeowners dues notices will be mailed by the end of July and will be due September 1st. There is no increase in dues for this year. Remember that timely collection of dues is an important part of the association’s ability to maintain, operate, and improve the neighborhood. Your prompt payment would be much appreciated.
There are numerous homes in the neighborhood that are vacant. It is the mortgage holder’s responsibility to maintain the lawn even if the house is empty, however, we are getting an increasing number of complaints that this is not happening. If you know of a yard that is not being mowed, please contact the Summerbrooke POA office with the address. A letter must then be sent to the mortgage holder giving them 10 days to comply before we can have the lawn cut ourselves.
Board Activities
The annual meeting was held June 29th. In addition to overviewing the Lake Griffin project, the board shared several accomplishments and improvements for the year. Minutes from that meeting will be posted upon board approval. Meanwhile, click here to see notes from past meetings.
The next board meeting will be held on Tuesday, August 17th at 6:00 p.m. at the Golf Club at Summerbrooke.
Lake Griffin Project
The Lake Griffin Project is scheduled to begin July 19th with lowering of the lake. Road closures are expected. Please see the Lake Griffin Project page for additional information.
Park Activities
Several improvements have been made to the park to improve safety, and more are in the works. Please do your part to help us maintain the park by cleaning up and obeying all posted rules. Meanwhile, we are looking for volunteers to help with regular park clean-up. Contact us at MySummerBrooke @ EmbarqMail.com if you would like to help.
