CIVILITY POLICY ANTI SOLICITING LAW Life in COVID the past year has taken its toll on everybody especially Waterlefe and its residents Something that seems to be more prevalent is negativity among individuals in the community as a result of increased frustration As a way to help promote positivity among members and discourage frustration fueled arguments the MPOA Board of Directors has implemented a new civility policy This policy s primary goal is to promote mutual respect civility and orderly conduct among all who live work and visit Waterlefe Golf River Club New Anti Soliciting Law for Roofing Contractors What Does This Mean For You In an effort to control roofing scams from occurring throughout Florida Governor DeSantis recently signed a new law that prohibits roofers from soliciting homeowners This means that roofing contractors cannot make unsolicited contact with you through any written or electronic means or in person Solicitation includes but is not limited to To view the new civility policy in its entirety Click Here Door hangers Business cards Magnets Flyers Pamphlets Emails Visits to your home Any other real time communication By law if you signed a contract with a roofer who illegally solicited your business you have 10 days to rescind that contract If a roofer is in violation of this new law which went into effect on July 1 2021 they may be subject to a 10 000 fine and possible criminal penalties WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF THIS LAW This new law is one step toward a larger effort to help combat roofing scams and fraudulent claims Beware of any contractor who solicits your business or tries to convince you that they can get you a brand new roof for free Fraudulent claims that roofing contractors can profit from are not free All Floridians pay the price in the way of higher insurance premiums WHAT SHOULD YOU DO IF A ROOFER TRIES TO SOLICIT YOU Call Manatee County Sheriffs Dept non emergency line 949 747 3011 If you have already signed a contract with a roofer who solicited your business illegally you have 10 days to rescind that contract WHAT SHOULD YOU DO FOR SOLICITORS IN GENERAL Please be aware that as far as laws against solicitors there are none for Manatee County Ask the solicitor to leave If they don t call the Manatee County Sheriffs Dept non emergency line 949 747 3011 as they are then trespassing on your private property To view the official Florida Statute Click Here 16 Lefe Life July August 2021 MPOA Updates 17

GPS SYSTEM ISSUES CDD Golf Club Updates Click here to view the June 2021 edition of Golfer s Glance Four years ago we had some success in getting GPS systems to stop taking visitors vendors to the Winding Stream resident only gate We proactively notified GPS systems when the Mossy Branch gate was getting ready to be operational In recent months it has become obvious that all GPS systems are routinely directing non residents to both of the resident only gates We have tracked down the root cause of the misdirection We are sorry to tell you there is no fix for the problem All major GPS systems like Google Maps iMaps Waze etc now provide users with real time traffic updates on their devices The way the systems can do this is that every phone device that has a mapping application on it sends out a signal every second that the device is turned on That means every time someone has their phone on when they drive through the Mossy Branch gate for example their phone tells the system that is a valid usable street intersection Every gated community like Waterlefe that only allows visitors to enter through a manned gate has this problem with people being directed by GPS systems to resident access only gates Ruth Harenchar has notified the executives of GPS vendors that the traffic feature on their app is causing this problem The response is that fixing the problem is a low priority item compared to the popularity of the real time traffic feature There is no way to know what year or even what decade the systems will be modified to correct this issue Please be advised as residents you should tell visitors and vendors about this issue when you make appointments or know you have visitors coming The suggestion from the GPS vendors is to give people both the gatehouse address and your home address All the GPS systems have the ability to put in a final destination your home address and an intermediate stop the Waterlefe gatehouse address If a visitor doesn t know how to put in an intermediate address the suggestion is to have them put the gatehouse address first so they are directed to the proper entrance Then they should put in your home address to guide them through Waterlefe to your home The gatehouse address is 10625 Waterlefe Blvd We are sorry for this ongoing and long term inconvenience There is simply no fix for this GPS issue in the foreseeable future If you have questions or need assistance please contact Steve Dietz or Ruth Harenchar 18 Lefe Life July August 2021 CDD Updates 19
