ANNUAL MEETING MINUTES
Wednesday, February 9th, 2011, 7:30 PM

Annual Elections Ballot mailing was coordinated through Property Management Services,
and Richard Alayon, Esq., and staff of Alayon and Associates, PA, Pavilion Counsel,
supervised the Election Process and Results.

Only five seats on the Board were up for re-election for 2011. Two seats comprised of
Jose Martinez and Helena Del Monte was elected during the 2010-year for a two-year term.

An original elections mailing was sent by PMS to unit owners, which contained Mr. Batista
as a candidate in the ballot. His application became ineligible and it became necessary for
PMS to send a second mailing deleting Mr. Batista as a contender. Some unit owners
neglected to follow directions, and submitted the first ballot. The second ballot and its
results were adopted as the official ballot. However, our Counsel opted to tally both
results and report them to the membership.

The Results of the Elections where as follows:

IV. Diversified will be hiring a Project Manager to solely manage the Pavilion Project,
this cost will be in lieu of a bond. The President asked about the hazard of not
having a bond, and her suggestion to have the Pavilion pay for a bond. Richard
Alayon explained the contract he developed between Diversified and Pavilion was
so draconian the Pavilion was well protected, but the Board should discuss and
decide the Bond issue. Mr. Alayon also presented the idea of offering a second
line bidder contract to Florida lemarq. To his opinion the Pavilion would have an
advantage in case Diversified faltered in some way. Mr. Alayon would have to
proceed with Board approval to approach Fla Lemarq. It was advised by Jorge
Rodriguez, Treasurer to hold on the matter, and we would advice counsel, if we
decided to proceed on that at a later date.

V. There was discussion on the Directors and Officers Policy. And Mr. Pintado was
asked to present each board member with a copy of the policy.

VI. Adjournment
