1. I have a complaint about my neighbor who violates the Rules and Regulations of our community, what can I do?

The first and foremost thing you should do is try to discuss with your neighbor that he is violating the Rules and Regulations of our community. If they continue to violate the Rules and Regulations then you should contact Sterling Management will investigate your complaint and take the matter to the Board of Administration. If your complaint is warranted then your neighbor could possibly be fined.

2. What are the new animal ordinances, which recently went into effect?

You can get the complete ordinance on the Internet at www.hillsboroughcounty.org/animalservices/ordinance/ or you may call Animal Services at 813-744-5660. If you are a pet owner, these changes may affect you. 
 

3. There is a Board Member that I would like removed from the Board of Directors, what can I do?

What you would like to do is a "recall". A recall is  the right or procedure by which a Board Member may be removed from office, before the end of his/ her term of office, by a vote or written agreement of the people to be taken on the filing of a properly executed petition. Once recall proceedings have begun, the Board of Directors can agree to recall the petitioned Board Member, or, if they are against recall, they can petition the State for Recall Arbitration.

 If board members agree to the written recall, the petitioned Board Member MUST step down immediately and hand over all official documents within 5 days.

 As stated in section 720.303(10)(a)(1) of the Florida Statutes:

“…any member of the board of directors may be recalled or removed from the office with or without cause by a majority of the total voting interest"
