As an owner you can now help protect against scammers by placing your unit for rent with Charter Club. Listing your unit with Charter Club will provide more access to your rental listing, and if you list on other sites please tell your potential renters to check your listing here, so the renter knows they are communicating with the verified owner and unit before payment is made.

On Tuesday, March 4, owners gathered in the CC meeting room to enjoy doughnuts and orange juice while attending the annual meeting with the Board, General Manager David Martella, and Hilton management.  The Board would like to thank Michael Schillali and David Rossetti that ran for the Board and recognize their accomplishments and their wish to serve the CC. We are fortunate to have such an array of owners with a wealth of knowledge and whether an elected board member or not it’s wonderful to be able to draw from the talent of owners that are happy to help as needed  on special projects, etc. 

Once again, owners re-elected the existing directors, ensuring continuity in leadership. The Board will continue to serve with Marty Terry as President, Lyman Wood as Vice President, Carlos Wehby as Treasurer, Bob Stammer as Secretary, and Gary Jelim overseeing Special Projects. We are fortunate to have a well-rounded Board that remains committed to keeping CC safe and financially stable while addressing key challenges such as rising insurance costs, reserve planning, and the long-term impact of climate change, including stronger hurricanes, erosion, and aging infrastructure. 

Thanks to the Board’s foresight, CC underwent structural inspections and necessary repairs several years ago—without requiring a special assessment. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the Board acted decisively, securing beach access and allowing the use of umbrellas and sailing, even while the neighboring Marriott remained closed due to its different property structure.

In the face of soaring costs and supply chain disruptions, the Board made the strategic decision to delay room updates until prices stabilized. Instead of replacing all furniture, they opted for thoughtful upgrades, ensuring improvements while maintaining financial prudence. These were not easy decisions, and there were differing opinions, but the Board worked together, debating and compromising to reach solutions that prioritized the best interests of all owners. 

Recognizing the rising insurance deductible—potentially increasing from $25,000 to over $3 million—the Board continues to take proactive steps to secure CC’s financial future. They carefully manage reserves while balancing the diverse ownership, where units range from as little as $500 to as much as $50,000 in peak season, yet all owners share the same maintenance fees. Their goal is to keep fees manageable while preparing for the future to reduce any necessary assessments should they be needed.

Our Board early on saw the importance of a website for owners.  Now owners can list their units for rent and once the unit is in the system they can post on other sites but most importantly letting potential renters know they can verify all the information on the CC website before a potential guest sends money.  They added the ability if someone wants a specific week they can sign up and if a unit becomes available an email will be automatically sent. They knew the importance of keeping owners aware of an incoming hurricane.   The beach camera was added as well as all forms, including comment forms for owners to send in.  The Marco Review and Newspaper were added with links for beach conditions, weather, and City of Marco.  The CC guidelines that used to reside in a book on the tables was removed during Covid and now all rules, regulations, guidelines etc are at your fingertips. Owners may now view in the owners section “HOA Documents”  all Hilton notifications that will be sent to owners  The latest Hilton Structural notification with structural reports on North snd South buildings are located here (and Hilton website) Your Board continues to grow the website and a volunteer keeps it updated at no cost.   

Board meetings are scheduled when most directors are present, often at their own expense, to minimize costs. Their dedication reflects the principle that “a penny saved is a penny earned.  We are in good hands going forward with a dedicated Board, an outstanding General Manager that brought home the coveted Best Resort award,  a dedicated team that keeps us sailing, our rooms and pool area clean, a smile when we check in and out, and maintenance where our long timer Percy is working side by side with our new Maintenance Manager, Ryan and they are always there for<our needs!  When we need a unit we have Jeannie too!  Even our postman, Peter who says he is the best ever has been delivering our mail for over 20 years and we see him dining with us most days! And let’s not forget Paul and his team always having our chairs and umbrellas ready along with his Slushies for sale!  Truly our Home away from Home!   And if you are at the beach you may just look up and see our beloved Scott (retired asst Mgr)  and Joe (newly retired) walking the beach.  Be sure and give them a shout out! Lastly when you see our great security team say Hi to Corey (our regular) as they watch out for us.

2024 Maintenance Fee Increase

Why the increase in 2024  Maintenance fees? Let’s go behind the scenes!

With the warming waters and earth warming we are experiencing hurricanes that are more powerful, fires, earthquakes and many other weather related disasters that are resulting in the high increase in insurance (in many areas on the water you can’t even get insurance)  that not only our property but every other property on the water is facing.

Did you know that CC in the past had only a $25,000 deductible when a hurricane hit?

We have shared with 4 Hilton properties a $100,000 deductible so each property had a $25,000 deductible. This year the Board was notified that not only the insurance premium was being increased but also the deductible. Let me start off with the premium. Our premium increased by $780,000 and the insurance company required that the total premium must be paid in its entirety up front.

This reduced our reserves by $1,714,616. Now to add insult to injury our deductible was increased from $25,000 to now $3.300.000 (before buy down policy that will come into play and hopefully reduce the $3,300,000 – see below for more detailed information) The new deductible is not split – each property has their own for each occurrence. Yes, now over a 3 million increase in the deductible before insurance starts to pay. Now the Board looked into buying a policy on the deductible (buy down policy). It’s a very confusing policy but depending on the category, (must be cat 3 or greater) where it hits, the damage it causes to the other Hilton properties along with other variables determines the payout. No one will know until after a hurricane how much the insurance will help reduce the $3,300,000 deductible. With all the new developments the Board addressed the renovations scheduled for the living room, dining room, master and guest bedrooms. The model unit (101) has been completed and there were discussions on whether to move ahead with the renovations or hold off. There were different opinions with some members feeling the owners expected the units to be done and the money was in the reserves to others feeling it was their fiscal responsibility to the owners to hold back and have additional reserves. Thanks to the Board who could give our government some lessons ? they compromised leaving no one completely happy but knowing they were doing what they believe to be in the best interest of the Charter Club..
