Dedication
To the staff and leadership at Evergreen
Management for their dedication to the
concept of the neighborhood and community.
It takes bricks and mortar to build a development but
people interacting and caring make a community.
You didn’t have to be the incubator or even get
involved but you did and your involvement will make
a difference for years to come.

PART 1
To Introduce The Purpose
of This Book: New and
Experienced Captains to
the Program
1
Building a neighborhood association is a
process. It can't be done overnight. Be patient.
Identify your priorities and build them step-
by-step. Hopefully this guide will help you along the
process
I felt that creating a guide was a natural progression
and what was for the first class of neighborhood
captains. I want this guide to serve as our guide posts,
by-laws, constitution or blue print for all the current
captains and the captains to be.
This is NOT a finished document.
It will never be finished because
there will always another idea, a better
way to do something or accomplish our goal. So, this
guide should be reedited at least once a year.

Associations can form out of concern
over an issue, or as a means of
enhancing the "sense of community" in
the neighborhood

voluntary organization of residents
who work together to improve and
maintain the quality of life in their
neighborhood.

6
PART 4
Defining the Types of
Neighborhoods
The Established Neighborhood.
The neighborhood that has been around for
over 10 years with an older population. Not
always willing to get involve. This
neighborhood has a greater need to care for its aging
population.
The captain that is taking over an established
neighborhood should not try to change too much too
fast. Even if your predecessor did a terrible job you
must acknowledge the efforts that were made.
We must remember that even established neighbor-
hoods have turnover.
The Evolving Neighborhood
This is the neighborhood that is 1 + years old. This
neighborhood has a willingness to get involved but
more set in their ways.
7
A new or experienced captain, generally just needs
some interesting and interactive programing to rally
behind.
Yes, every neighborhood needs new people and new
programs but this group has the biggest need to get
involved and meet the neighbors Our programs are
perfect for this type of networking.
The goal should be a neighborhood function every
other month. This should be scheduled a minimum
of 6 months out preferably one year.
8
PART 5
Steps to success
Your job is to attract people and recruit the right people
for your association, people that are willing to work
and have some fun as well. You will attract plenty of
people with mini press releases or ads in various
publications. However, the best source is using an email
blast from Solivita HOA.
9
Step 1
The first critical step is to Form a committee. Get
other people involved. Call it your steering
committee.
Step 2
Create a needs assessment of what areas you plan to
address. Circulate within your neighborhood
Step 3
After you complete your needs assessment, define the
challenge with your steering committee
Step 4
Where can you help, or should you get involved or
not. These are decisions for a Neighborhood Captain
Step 5
Form Sub Committees based on YOUR
RESOURCES AND NEEDS.
EXAMPLES
a. Newsletter
b. Finance
c. Website
d. Events
e. Programs
10
Step 6
Sub Committees should meet once a month
Step 7
The Core Steering Committee should meet once a
month. (Coordinate times so that both meeting
coincide)
Step 8
The first sub-committee MUST be a finance / fund
raising committee. The first event must be a fund-
raising event to collect funds to operate. The best way
to do that is: Plan a meet and greet and charge $5.00.
Its not much but you don’t need much. Don’t self
fund it.
11
PART 6
How to Handle The
Money
Yes you need money to operate. Not a lot but
there are little things that your leaders
shouldn’t have to pay for.
So how do you fund it? Two ways.
1. Charge for dues or participation.
12
2. Have fund raising event
It is a general feeling that we should be charging any
dues. I think once established a five or ten dollar fee
might be considered, but don’t start with that.
The preferred method would be to have a low cost
fund raiser, most of the events mentioned earlier in
this guide can be adapted for fund raising)
Ok now you have raised couple hundred dollars.
Where do you put it?
It should be put it in a checking account. Right? Right
but there is a snag. They ask for a Social Security
number or a federal ID number.
No one should have to use their Social Security
number that makes you responsible for the income.
The IRS is aware of that so they created a way that
will satisfy all parties.
It’s called an EIN number, and it is you put on the
bank account. It stands for Employee Identification.
But don’t let the name fool you. The number is used
by many types of organizations even including
neighborhood association.
Here are the steps to follow. Go to PART 11 to
review the section on Obtaining an EIN by Lenny
Vento. It walks you through the entire process.
Or you can
Go to www. irs.gov
13
The best part about having
an EIN is the responsible
party can be changed when
their term is up. You are not
locked in for life at your
organization. The following
is a final report. BUT ASK
US FOR HELP

PART 8
Top 10 Tips on Running a
Successful Meeting
1. Start on Time-End on time
2. Have an agenda
3. When someone asks a question you
don’t want to address. Simply say
“let’s table that for now.”
4. When two members get into a heated
discussion:
o Summarize points made by
each and turn the discussion
back to the group and/or
o Invite the two to stay after
the meeting when the three
of you can talk it over.
5. When coping with the "one-man"
show
o Interrupt with a statement
giving the speaker credit for
his contribution but politely
asking him to hold his other
points until later and/or
17
o Interrupt with "You have
brought up many points that
will keep us busy for a long
time. Would anyone like to
take up one of these points?
1. When a speaker drifts from the subject:
Interrupt, give his or her credit for his/her
idea but explain that she is departing from
the main point; or
2. Participation
Set realistic expectations about
attendance. You may not need large
attendance at every meeting.
3. End the meeting with an action plan
4. Start with a story
5. End with a wrap up story
18

Speed Limits: On most major roads in Solivita, the
speed limit is 25 MPH. Most residential streets are
posted at 20 MPH. The road through the Village is
posted at 10 MPH for everyone’s safety, because there
is a great deal of foot and golf cart traffic. The HOA
pays the Polk County Sheriff’s Office deputies to
patrol the community and issue tickets for speeding
and other traffic violations.
Trash Pickup: Solivita relies on Polk County for its
trash disposal needs. The county provides a trash and
recycle bin to each home. Trash and recycling pickup
for Solivita is every Tuesday between 6am and 6pm.
Place your receptacles by the curb after 6pm on
Monday. Contact Polk County Solid Waste for new
trash and recycle receptacles. When the landfill is
closed on major holidays, collection services are
delayed by one day. For more information or to
schedule pickup for a large item, contact Polk County
Solid Waste at 863-284-4319 or garbage@polk-
county.net. The current vendor for Polk County here
at Solivita is Republic Services at 863-665-1489.
Wildlife: Wildlife should not be approached, fed,
molested or harmed by residents. It is strictly
prohibited by Florida Law to feed an alligator. Fishing
in designated ponds is catch and release.

Solivita Wildlife
We live with a nature preserve. According to Dr.
Rashbaum, a Veterinarian and Solivita resident, this is
a rabies prone area. Be alert to any nocturnal animal
that is out during the day. Security is not responsible
for animal control. Call animal control with problems.
Snakes
We have harmless baby brown snakes as well as other
types in the area. Snakes eat insects and frogs;
alligators eat snakes. The most common snake that we
see is the black ribbon snake. They are not poisonous.
Be alert to snakes on evening walks since they tend to
move onto the pavers at that time.
John Rupert, on Solivita Nextdoor said: “All of
Florida's venomous snakes will have a single scale on
their bellies running the entire length of the snake. On
a non-poisonous snake there will be a single scale
from the neck down to the cloaca (anal opening)
about 2/3 of the length of the belly side, and then it
will split to a double scale all the way to the end of the
tail.”
The Corn stake IS HARMLESS. Here is more
information
http://www.flmnh.ufl.edu/herpetology/fl-
snakes/list/pantherophis-guttatus
This is a poisonous Coral Snake they have to bite soft
flesh and hang onto it. “Production of coral snake
32
antivenin in the United States ceased because it is not
profitable... The cost
was too large for the small number of cases presented
each year.”

The poisonous Cottonmouth, aka Water Moccasin, is
fearless.

All of our showers, baths, sinks, and toilets are
connected to the same main drain line, which has an
outside cleanout pipe capped by 4" white lid that sits
about 2-1/2" above the ground. It is suggested you
regularly check them (every time the landscaping crew
finishes), keep them clear of overgrowth, and replace
any broken lids so snakes and other critters cannot
enter from the outside and crawl up the inside drains.
Alligators
Alligators eat snakes. During mating season in the
spring, gators will travel a lot. They cross our roads to
move to other ponds. They lay on the banks of ponds
33
to take sun. Be aware and leave them be unless they
are a nuisance! See Common Myths and the Truth about
Alligators

Co-Existing with Cranes
Do not allow small grandchildren to approach any of
the big wild birds. The Florida Fish and Wildlife
Commission suggests:
◾Never feed cranes and encourage your neighbors
not to feed cranes. Cranes are less likely to inhabit
urban areas if easy meals are not provided.
◾Cover or move automobiles so that cranes cannot
see their reflections in the shiny surfaces. Windows or
glass doors that the cranes attack can be temporarily
covered with material so that the birds do not see their
reflections.
◾Temporarily cover windows or screens. A string
mounted on stakes about 2.5 feet off the ground will
provide an exclusion "fence" around the parts of
homes (window or pool screens) that are being
damaged by cranes.
◾Accept some digging for food. Cranes sometimes
damage lawns and gardens as they dig for food such
as mole crickets and beetle grubs. The birds, in this
case, provide natural "biological control" of these
common pests of turf.
34
PLEASE DO NOT FEED ANY
WILDLIFE!
It is against Florida law to feed the wildlife. Cranes
and other animals that are fed by humans, will attack
people, cars, and houses. Sand Hill Cranes have poked
thru lanai screens in homes of residents who fed
them.
Be aware that vehicles ahead of you may sometimes
stop for animals slowly crossing our roads. Please do
not exceed the speed limit.
