APPLY NOW FOR COST-SHARE FUNDING:

Central Florida Water Initiative Water Conservation Projects

Applications are now being accepted for a cost-share funding program to support the implementation of water conservation projects within the Central Florida Water Initiative (CFWI). This is part of the State of Florida’s efforts to identify and implement cost-effective strategies to protect the state’s water resources while meeting Florida’s water needs. Partnering with local governments and other large water users (such as agricultural, commercial, industrial, homeowner associations, and large landscape irrigation) to reduce water demands through implementation of water conservation projects is an important and effective way to help accomplish this goal.

In 2019, Governor DeSantis and the Florida Legislature approved statewide funding to develop water resource and water supply projects. Applications are now being accepted on behalf of the Florida Department of Environmental Protection for funding consideration for water conservation projects within the CFWI Planning Area (which includes all of Orange, Osceola, Seminole, and Polk counties and southern Lake County). The CFWI is a joint planning effort where the South Florida, St. Johns River, and Southwest Florida water management districts are working collaboratively with other agencies and stakeholders to implement effective water supply and water resource planning.

Eligible projects for consideration should be ready to implement water conservation technology programs that provide the most immediate and cost-effective benefits. Projects may be eligible for up to 50 percent cost-share reimbursement. The application process opens February 17, 2020 and closes March 27, 2020 at 5 p.m. To apply, click here.

For the latest information and details, visit sfwmd.gov/coopfunding. For assistance with the application process, applicants may contact any of the following District staff:

There are a lot more reasons to own a golf car, than just golf!

There are a lot more reasons to own a golf car, than just golf!

Have you been going back and forth on whether you should buy a golf car? There are a lot more reasons to own one than just golf. Add a few of these reasons to your pro list!

  1. Getting around the neighborhood – Is your child’s bus stop not around the corner? Use the golf car to take them to and from. Plus add on an enclosure to keep everyone dry on those rainy mornings! Do you have a large neighborhood? Decorate your car for Halloween and take it around trick or treating! Plus use the car to get to the neighborhood clubhouse or pool. Maybe even up to the corner store.

2. Large Property – Do you love to garden but hate lugging the bags of soil or plant food out to your garden? There are utility cars such as the Yamaha Umax built just for that! If you have animals it is also great to carry food and supplies out to their enclosures. With a utility bed and easy unlock for dumping this utility car has it all!

3. Recreation – Do you love to go camping or fishing? A golf car is a great outdoors vehicle. There are even ones built for this such as the Yamaha UMAX Rally 2+2. This allows you to drive through any terrain while getting around your campsite or fishing spot.

4. Affordability – Golf cars are an affordable option compared to a car. An electric vehicle can be way more than the average budget allows but an electric golf car can be as low as $3,000 used. Golf cars come in both gas and electric and offer the flexibility of low gas consumption.

5. Work Vehicles – Do you own a company that could use the flexibility of a golf car? Do you work for an apartment or condo association where maintenance equipment needs to be transported? Does your work complex spread a large distance and having a golf cart to go between departments would save time and therefore money? All of these are great reasons for businesses to use golf cars!

6. Storage – Golf cars take up so little space you can easily store them in the garage or a storage shed. You can even keep them on a patio if needed. They are also easy to transport due to their size. A 5′ x 7′ trailer will easily transport one wherever you need it.

Last but not least golf cars are fun! You can customize them for what you want and need. Including decorating them for parades and holidays!

If you’re in the market and have any questions please contact us. We sell new and used Yamaha products to view our current inventory please visit our website. If there is anything you like but do not currently see it in our stock feel free to reach out and we can get you a quote!

Axela Technologies Welcomes New President of Business Development After 600% Growth in 2019…

Axela Technologies Welcomes New President of Business Development After 600% Growth in 2019…

  • Comments: Comments Off on Axela Technologies Welcomes New President of Business Development After 600% Growth in 2019…

Axela Technologies Inc, a specialized collections company servicing Community Associations, announced today the promotion of longtime industry expert Mitch Drimmer to President of Business Development. The appointment comes as the company exceeded 600% growth in 2019 under Drimmer’s leadership.

Axela Technologies, a specialized collections firm servicing the community association industry, has promoted Mitchell Drimmer to President of Business Development. This promotion was precipitated by strong growth in Axela’s collections division in 2019. In his new role, Drimmer will spearhead the formation of a national sales team as the company continues to enter new markets.

In his prior role as VP of Business Development, Drimmer worked with community associations and their management companies to introduce innovative strategies to collect delinquent maintenance fees. Under Drimmer’s watch in 2019, the company expanded operations, and grew its’ client base by over 600%. He has traveled nationwide, speaking at industry events and educating community association managers about the most effective ways to address the ever-present issue of delinquencies, solidifying his position as a thought-leader within the industry.

“Mitch has done a fantastic job getting the word out that there is a new and better way to recover delinquent fees,” says Martin Urruela, CEO of Axela. “He is committed to helping community associations and their managers adopt new technologies to better run their communities and businesses. Above all, Mitch is a fantastic communicator and teacher, and cares deeply about the success and well-being of the communities that we serve”.

Axela believes that legal action and foreclosure should be the measure of last resort when addressing association delinquencies. Through proprietary technologies that automate and streamline the process, Axela customers can escalate a unit to collections easier than ever to start seeing results immediately.

“In the United States, we have over 73 million people living in associations paying almost $100bn in annual assessments. A large percentage of which goes uncollected due to simple process inefficiencies,” states Drimmer. “Our mission at Axela is to ease the burden on managers and boards with the best collection solutions available in the market. It works; as evidenced by the fact that less than 5% of our collection files move to foreclosure. And did I mention we’ve never lost a customer?” quips Drimmer.

Drimmer has worked for Axela Technologies since early 2018, joining the company as the first business development executive. He earned a Bachelor of Arts in History from Hunter College in New York City, and has worked in the community association collections space since 2007.

As we get ready to start a new year, attention is turned to setting goals and resolutions

One goal you may want to consider for 2020 is getting your legal affairs in order. Preparing vital legal documents will help you to be ready for life emergencies and unforeseen events. Three of the top legal documents that should be a part of everyone’s legal life strategy are will, living will, and power of attorney forms.

will is a legal document that lets you communicate your last wishes regarding distribution of your possessions, such as cars, home, money, and other items, to the people who you want to receive these assets upon your death.  It also lets you appoint a guardian for minor children.

living will is a document that enables you to express in writing what type of medical treatment you want in the event you are no longer capable of making decisions yourself.  The living will lets you decide in advance if you want your life to being artificially prolonged by various medical procedures and equipment.

With a power of attorney form, you can appoint a trusted person to be your agent to handle financial, health, property or other matters when you cannot take care of things yourself.

ZUUL Systems is excited to announce it will be adding a resident lane to all participating communities – available at no extra monthly cost!

Over the past few months, we’ve spoken with countless property managers in order to learn how to better serve the needs of our users. Many expressed concerns regarding a one log-in system to track all gate activity for both guests and residents. ZUUL Systems is just that: an all-in-one control system, database, and login that’ll take care of all your gate access control needs.

ZUUL’s resident lane is currently compatible with both AWID and MAXTEK RFID readers and transponders. Simply import the vehicular and transponder data into our database, and you’re all set.

Additionally, we have decided to extend our beta pricing until March 31, 2020. We want to ensure our clients have enough time to make a confident, informed decision, not a rushed one. We offer our product FREE for six months, with no contracts thereafter.

Call one of our team members today at 561-501-3539, and learn how ZUUL Systems is the solution your community needs.

The wait is over. ZUUL Systems is here.
