NEW OWNERS: Please make sure you fill out this form at your closing or now if you have not yet done so. We need to have contact information for sending email updates about meetings, and life at Vanderbilt Lakes. Thanks for helping us keep in contact with you all!!
ACH DIRECT PAYMENT OF SEMI-ANNUAL ASSESSMENT: An easy way to pay your semi-annual assessment easily is to fill out a form, send in a cancelled check and have assessments taken out automatically every six months.
Just fill out this form and mail it back to Frankly Coastal/Collier Financial, Inc., 4985 Tamiami Trail East, Naples, FL 34114
MEETING NOTICES: The annual members meeting is held each February and thus in January every owner receives a mailing with information as to when and where this meeting will be held along with a proxy form. In order to hold a members meeting a quorum must be present. In order to reach this quorum we ask that you complete the proxy form and mail to Frankly Coastal in the envelope provided or hand it to an board member. By reaching a quorum ahead of the meeting it ensures that the meeting will take place and that owners can participate.
At the end of every year the board is looking for board members as usually 2 board members have ended their 2-year term. If you are interested in volunteering and participating in the governing board for VCSA (92 homes plus all the multifamily units) please fill out a form!! If more than 2 people express interest, an election will take place.
The board is also often looking for members of the Architectural Review Board (3 members) and the newest board - The Fining Board (3-5 members) which will meet when any single family home owner has an issue that is not resolved with conversation. We do not expect this committee to meet very often (and hopefully not at all except for perhaps one initial meeting to further explain the process). The ARB board consists of 3 members (2 from the 92 homes and 1 from the multifamily associations). If you are interested in serving on either board let a VCSA board member or the property manager know.
UPCOMING VCSA BOARD MEETINGS:
1) VCSA Budget Workshop on Zoom Monday 11/14 at 9:30 2) VCSA Budget Adoption Meeting on Zoom Monday 12/5 at 4 pm (look for invite/posting) 3) VCSA Annual Meeting Monday 2/27 from 4-6 (sign in starts at 3) (proxy and meeting info will be mailed/emailed along with openings on the board and how to apply - usually in late December/early January)

GATE CODE ENTRY AND SMARTPASS ENTRY INFORMATION: Click here to read more about how to best enter Vanderbilt Lakes.
FYI: There is a new system working at the gate related to Amazon deliveries. Amazon NO LONGER needs to have a gate code to deliver your packages. So take your gate code information out of the delivery instructions for your Amazon orders.
STREET LIGHT INFORMATION:
At the July 19, 2022 Board of Directors meeting on Zoom, a motion was made and approved to install street lights in place of mailboxes with lights. This activity should start about December 2022 and take about a month. To see the drawing* for placement of these lights click here.
*Although the drawings show carriage lights “with side panels” the final fixture chosen has “no side panels”. That means that light will not be diffused in any direction other than down. See darksky.org regarding glare and residential lighting best practices.
Mailboxes will be replaced after the lights are installed.
Find here a letter from the VCSA President regarding the decision to replace the 92 mailbox/lamppost combos with 18 streetlights from FPL.
