Good afternoon, Holiday Condo and Happy Monday! I trust everyone had a great weekend. The board and management team are pleased to provide the owners with a summary of our current projects. Fiber Optic Crews are expected to be on site to address any remaining concrete replacement and settlement issues. We hope to have internet service live sometime in August, however, while the park may be ready, there is fiber yet to be installed along San Carlos Blvd. We will keep you informed about upcoming informational meetings with our account representative. Indoor Pool Flooring is complete with minor punch list items remaining. There is some minor painting remaining in the men’s and women’s shower rooms. The new sauna unit has arrived. Additionally, new benches in the sauna will be installed. A grand opening will be scheduled in the very near future. Governing Documents The revised HC Condominium Governing Documents have been distributed to the owners via the HC Website and email. Three copies of the current and proposed documents can be found at the South Hall. Two owner’s workshops have been held at the South Hall and via Zoom. Weekly blogs are posted to the HC Website, and email, where owners can go to see factual comparisons between the existing and proposed documents. We are committed to providing our ownership with the most accurate information enabling you to make your decision. Again, these are DRAFT documents, and we welcome all constructive input and questions. Water Valve Replacement Last week, Atlas Drainworx was on site and completed excavation of six additional valve locations. Due to unforeseen conditions no valves were replaced this past week. Atlas Drainworx will return to our park on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, with our next scheduled water shut down scheduled for Wednesday July 29th at 9AM. We know this is extremely frustrating and disruptive; however, we will continue our efforts until the faulty valves have been replaced. Additionally, we recommend you change the aerators on your sinks and showers to ensure there is no sediment reducing your water flow. Tennis Courts Resurfacing of Tennis / Pickleball courts is scheduled to begin August 10th Street improvements Street improvements this year will likely be limited to sealing of asphalt. There will also be repairs made around some of the drain boxes. This work is scheduled to begin sometime in late September or October “Please check the Holiday Condo Website for important updates and information. The Board of Directors and Park Management does not post park business on Happenings, Connections, and Advocates FB pages.” Lastly, I want to thank Pete Lallo and the management team for all they do. It takes a huge effort to keep the park operating, regardless of the number of people on site. Thank you, Kevin Stevens, President

Good afternoon, Holiday Condo and Happy Monday! I trust everyone had a great weekend. The board and management team are pleased to provide the owners with a summary of our current projects. Fiber Optic Crews were on site this past week continuing fiber optic connections in the remaining termination boxes. An additional crew was on site replacing concrete that was removed during installation of the fiber conduit. We are seeing some settlement at the termination boxes, and these will be backfilled. We hope to have internet service live sometime in August, however, while the park may be ready, there is fiber yet to be installed along San Carlos Blvd. We will keep you informed about upcoming informational meetings with our account representative. Indoor Pool Epoxy flooring is complete. There is some minor painting remaining in the men’s and women’s shower rooms. The new sauna heater has been ordered and is expected to arrive this week. Additionally, new benches in the sauna will be installed. A grand opening will be scheduled in the very near future. Governing Documents The revised HC Condominium Governing Documents have been distributed to the owners via the HC Website and email. Three copies of the current and proposed documents can be found at the South Hall. Two owner’s workshops have been held at the South Hall and via Zoom.

We are committed to providing our ownership with the most accurate information enabling you to make your decision. Again, these are DRAFT documents, and we welcome all constructive input and questions. Water Valve Replacement Last week, Atlas Drainworx was on site and completed the installation of seven additional valves, bringing the total to thirteen. Four valves that were removed at lots 250 and 270 were found to be stuck in the closed position. After the replacement of these valves, it has been reported that water pressure on Dawn Cowrie, Dwarf Ginseng, Fox Sparrow, and Blue Warbler, is much improved. Atlas Drainworx will return to our park on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, with our next scheduled water shut down scheduled for Wednesday July 22nd at 9AM. We know this is extremely frustrating and disruptive; however, we will continue our efforts until the faulty valves have been replaced. A water line feeding a unit on Bubble Shell broke / pulled apart. Our maintenance technician Matt came back after hours and located a shut off valve buried under ground. Thanks Matt! We are seeing a lot of plumbing lines that were poorly installed. Please assess your units’ water supply and valves to ensure they are properly installed and valves operational. Additionally, we recommend you change the aerators on your sinks and showers to ensure there is no sediment reducing your water flow. North Hall Pantry It was reported last week that the North Hall AC system was not working. Our new maintenance technician Steve (a NATE certified tech) made repairs, and everything appears to be operating fine. Thanks Steve! As a reminder the thermostats in both halls are programmed to reset each evening. However, you may adjust to you or your group's comfort simply by manually typing in the desired temperature. Tennis Courts Resurfacing of Tennis / Pickleball courts is scheduled to begin August 10th. Street improvements Street improvements planned this year will be limited to seal coating of asphalt of those streets/sections replaced last fall. There will also be repairs made around a few of the drain boxes. This work is scheduled to begin sometime in October. “Please check the Holiday Condo Website for important updates and information. The Board of Directors and Park Management does not post park business on Happenings, Connections, and Advocates FB pages.” Lastly, I want to thank Pete Lallo and the management team for all they do.

Good afternoon, Holiday Condo and Happy Monday! I trust everyone had a great weekend. The board and management team are pleased to provide the owners with a summary of our current projects. Fiber Optic The drilling machine was on site this past week and drilling is now complete. Crews are running fiber between the five terminal boxes located at the south side of the park, along Corallite Lane, and one along Lapwing. From these boxes fiber optic cables will be run to your home, when and if you choose to sign up with T-Mobile. We hope to have internet service live sometime in August, however, while the park may be ready, there is fiber yet to be installed along San Carlos Blvd. We will keep you informed about upcoming informational meetings with our account representative. All concrete repairs, backfilling, and leveling of lawns will be completed once installation is complete. Finally, any concrete repairs, lawn restoration, backfilling, and grading resulting from the fiber work will be completed after installation throughout the park has been finished. Indoor Pool The new epoxy floor with non-skid treatment around the pools and into the bath shower rooms was installed last week and is now curing. All of the toilets were removed to ensure a seamless application of the material and they will be reinstalled this week. Feel free to take a peek through the new sliding glass doors, but everyone must stay out for a little longer! A new sauna heater has been ordered as the old one could not be repaired. A grand opening will be scheduled after the renovation is 100% complete. Governing Documents The revised HC Condominium Governing Documents have been distributed to the owners via the HC Website and email. Three copies of the current and proposed documents can be found at the South Hall. Two owner’s workshops have been held at the South Hall and via Zoom. Weekly blogs are posted to the HC Website, and email, where owners can go to see factual comparisons between the existing and proposed documents. We are committed to providing our ownership with the most accurate information enabling you to make your decision. Again, these are DRAFT documents, and we welcome all constructive input and questions. Water Valve Replacement Last week, Atlas Drainworx was on site and completed the installation of three additional valves, bringing the total to seven. We also discovered a leak between the homes on Wild Flax and Oakdale which was repaired. The outages on Wednesday and Friday were due to failed compression fittings. These fittings are not intended to be used as a permanent fix. They are strictly for temporary and emergency repairs. As we continue excavating, we are finding more and more of these fittings. Unfortunately, we can only repair what we find. While not great news for Dawn Cowrie, Dwarf Ginseng, Fox Sparrow, and Blue Warbler, we were able to isolate those areas to make the repairs on Wednesday and Friday, without shutting water off to the entire park. This was possible due to the installation of other new valves. The plan is working. In speaking with owners in these affected areas regarding low water pressure, if your ice maker is not working, it could be due to low water pressure unfortunately. Atlas Drainworx returns to HC Tuesday and Wednesday, with our next scheduled water shut down Wednesday July 15th. We know this is extremely frustrating and disruptive; however, we will continue our efforts until the faulty valves have been replaced, and the water pressure is improved. Thank you again for your patience. “Please check the Holiday Condo Website for important updates and information.

Comment: "Loss of Voting Power: Nearly 90% of the changes remove the owners' right to vote on park decisions and personal property." FACT: Please see comparison of all owner's voting rights in the current docs versus the proposed documents HERE. The bottom line, this is a 100% FALSE statement on FB. Comment: "The state senate did change laws (FS 718) between 2014 and 2025—mostly regarding structural safety after the Surfside collapse. However, Florida law automatically overrides old rules if there is a conflict. A massive 52-page overhaul that strips away our rights is a choice by the board, not a state mandate." FACT: Since Holiday Condominium's governing documents were last comprehensively updated in 2014, the Florida Legislature has substantially revised Chapter 718, Florida Statutes. While the most widely publicized reforms followed the 2021 Surfside condominium collapse and focused on structural safety for buildings three stories or higher, many other statutory amendments were unrelated to Surfside. These changes addressed condominium governance, board member education, elections, electronic voting, official records, insurance, financial management, reserve administration, and owner protections. Because Holiday Condominium is a single-story horizontal condominium, several of the structural safety provisions do not apply to the Association; however, many of the governance and operational changes enacted since 2014 do apply and are reflected in the proposed governing documents. Comment: "The Ultimate Risk: There is even a clause giving the board the power to sell our park." FACT: Membership approval required under Declaration and statute. Again 100% FALSE comment on FB.

Good afternoon, Holiday Condo and Happy Monday! I trust everyone had a great 4th of July and 250th Birthday Weekend The board and management team are pleased to provide the owners with a summary of our current projects. Fiber Optic The drilling machine scheduled to be on site last week was unavailable and is now in fact on-site today, July 6th. We hope to have internet service live sometime in August. We will keep you informed about upcoming informational meetings with our account representative. Indoor Pool Additional lighting improvements were completed this past week. The new flooring installation will begin July 7th. A new sauna heater has been ordered as the old one could not be repaired. A grand opening will be scheduled sometime after the renovation is complete. Governing Documents The revised HC Condominium Governing Documents have been distributed to the owners via the HC Website and email. Three copies of the current and proposed documents can be found at the South Hall. Two owner’s workshops have been held at the South Hall and via Zoom. Weekly blogs are posted to the HC Website, and email, where owners can go to see factual comparisons between the existing and proposed documents. We are committed to providing our ownership with the most accurate information enabling you to make your decision. Again, these are DRAFT documents, and we welcome all constructive input and questions. Road repairs D&G Pavement was on site last week to address the water “ponding” issue at Corallite Lane near the North Hall. The asphalt was removed and new asphalt installed. It is a huge improvement! Water Valve Replacement Last week, Atlas Drainworx was on site and completed the installation of two valves on Fiddler Crab near the Horseshoe Pits. Again, much of our time was spent waiting for the water to drain out of the system. We found two valves that were stuck in the closed position and were hopeful the new valves would improve the water pressure on Dawn Cowrie, Dwarf Ginseng, Fox Sparrow, and Blue Warbler. In speaking with multiple owners, it appears that was not the case. Atlas will be back on-site Tuesday, and our next scheduled water shut down will be Wednesday July8th. We know this is extremely frustrating and disruptive; however, we will continue our efforts until the faulty valves have been replaced, and the water pressure is improved. Thank you again for your patience. Last week I noticed FB posts from owners stating they did not receive notice of the shutdown, and some were unaware of our valve replacement altogether. In an effort to guide these owners to the Holiday Condo Website, where they can receive timely updates and information regarding the shutdowns, I posted the following on Holiday Condo Happenings, HC Connections, and Advocates. “Please check the Holiday Condo Website for important updates and information. The Board of Directors and Park Management do not post information on Happenings, Connections, and Advocates. Thank you and Happy 250th Birthday!” As a result, I have now been blocked by the administrators of both Advocates and Connections. I rarely post on either site, although I do monitor them from time to time to better understand residents’ questions and concerns. I do not know why I was blocked and, quite frankly, I find the decision disappointing and counterproductive. Regardless, I hope the administrators of both sites will continue to share important information regarding community updates, service interruptions, facility shutdowns, and other matters that affect residents. The goal should be to ensure that members of those respective groups receive accurate and timely information about what is happening in the community. Our new Maintenance Technician, Steve Covarrubias started today. If you see Steve please extend him a warm welcome. Lastly, I want to thank Joyce for compiling the newsletter and Pete Lallo and the management team for all they do. It takes a huge effort to keep the park operating, regardless of the number of people on site. Thank you, Kevin Stevens, President

Good afternoon, Holiday Condo and Happy Monday! The board and management team are happy to provide the owners with a summary of our current projects for the week ended 6/26/26. Water Valve Replacement Last week, Atlas Drainworx was on site and completed the installation of two valves on Dwarf Ginseng, feeding the units on Dawn Cowrie. This was somewhat of a Beta Test to better understand the challenges that will be faced on the next twenty-five+ valves. What we discovered was just how long it took for water to drain out of the system, and how long it takes for the glue to cure. Additional measures will be taken to try and speed up the draining process. This week, Atlas returns on Monday and Tuesday to excavate and expose six to ten water valves. Atlas will then return on Wednesday to replace as many of the exposed valves as possible. Water in the park will be SHUT OFF WEDNESDAY. Please remember, the reason this is being done is the current valves are inoperable, and we are unable to isolate individual streets. Once completed, if there are water line breaks on individual streets, only those streets will need to be shut off. We know water shut offs are an inconvenience. We apologize and appreciate everyone’s patience. Road repairs D&G Pavement was on site last week and completed remediation at the corner of Oakdale / Lapwing. And they were here again Monday to address the ponding at the north end of Corralite and Waxwing. Fiber Optic Testing / proofing of the individual conduits has been completed. Once all the conduit has been installed, the contractor will then install the actual fiber optic cable. Any repairs needed to restore to the pre-installation status will take place in the coming weeks. Most utility interruptions associated with the installation are now behind us! T-mobile will schedule roll-out presentations with us in conjunction with new service options in the coming month. Indoor Pool The pool has been completely refinished, and the pool and hot tub are once again filled with water. The exterior stucco and painting is now complete. The new sliding glass doors are installed and were upgraded to impact windows. Flooring is scheduled to begin July 6. The sauna benches have been removed and will be replaced. A new sauna heater has been ordered as the old one could not be repaired. Improved lighting has been installed throughout. A grand reopening will be scheduled once the renovation is complete. Governing Documents The revised HC Condominium Governing Documents have been distributed to the owners via the HC Website and email. Three copies of the current and proposed documents can be found at the South Hall. Two owner’s workshops have been held at the South Hall and via Zoom. Weekly blogs are being posted to the HC Website, and email, where owners can go to see factual comparisons between the existing and proposed documents. It would have been much easier to kick this can down the road one more year, however, last year’s BOD, Rules Committee, and management team decided to take this task on, and we will do all we can to ensure owners are well informed. You are welcome to reach out and ask any questions of the committee and/or send an email to office@holidaycondominium.com. We thank the committee for their on-going hard work to get our documents updated. Here's to a great week ahead. Kevin Stevens, President

Regarding the Proposed Governing Document Updates... The Board of Directors and Park Management are committed to communicating with residents in a respectful, factual, and transparent manner. We recognize that there are many discussions taking place on social media regarding the proposed governing documents. While we respect every owner's right to express their opinions, the Association will not engage in online debates or respond to inflammatory accusations, misinformation, or the like. Doing so is not productive and only creates unnecessary division within our community. Instead, our focus remains on providing accurate information and answering questions through official Association communications, workshops, meetings, and published materials. We encourage every owner to review the proposed governing documents alongside our current governing documents. Many of the provisions contained in the proposed documents already exist in our current documents. Much of the revised language is intended to: Incorporate changes required by Florida law since our documents were last updated; Clarify provisions based on current operating practices and legal guidance; Address lessons learned from the COVID-19 pandemic; Improve emergency management provisions following Hurricane Ian; and Modernize language to better reflect today's legal and operational environment. It is also important to remember that these are proposed governing documents. They are not final, are subject to revisions based on owner input, and do not become effective unless and until approved by the membership as required by our governing documents and Florida law. If you read statements such as, "These are my opinions only," or "You should investigate this yourself," we encourage you to do exactly that. Read the current documents, review the proposed documents, attend the informational workshops, ask questions, and make your own informed decision based on the official documents rather than rumors or speculation. Our goal is not to persuade through debate, but to ensure that every owner has access to accurate information and plenty of time to review the documents so you may cast an informed vote when the time comes. As a reminder, the proposed documents have been emailed, are online and hard copies are available in the South Hall for your convenience. You are welcome to submit any comments or questions to office@holidaycondominium.com. Thank you for taking the time to stay informed and engaged in the future of our community. ~Kevin Stevens, President

Good afternoon, Holiday Condo and Happy Monday! The board and management team are happy to provide the owners with a summary of our current projects for the week ended 6/19/26. Fiber Optic Our fiber installation team has completed roughly 95% of the conduit which protects the fiber. A drilling machine will need to be brought in to drill under a few of the longer intersections, and near the outdoor pool. Once all the conduit has been installed, the contractor will then install the actual fiber optic cable. We have now been assigned our account manager from T-Mobile and home installation seminars will occur in the upcoming weeks. Most utility interruptions associated with the installation are now behind us! Indoor Pool Interior painting is complete, including both the men’s and women’s showers. The unexpected structural repairs are complete, and the contractor is currently applying the “plaster” finish to the inside and outside of the building. Painting of the repaired areas will soon follow. The pool has been completely refinished, and the pool and hot tub are once again filled with water. Flooring is scheduled to begin July 6. The sauna benches have been removed and will be replaced. A new sauna heater has been ordered as the old one could not be repaired. Improved lighting has been installed throughout. Governing Documents The proposed HC Condominium Governing Documents have been distributed to the owners via email a well as hard copies in the South Hall. Two owner’s workshops have already been held at the South Hall and via Zoom. We do realize it is quite laborious combing through these documents, and encourage you to do your due diligence to review. You are welcome to reach out and ask any questions of the committee and/or send an email to office@holidaycondominium.com. We thank the committee for their on-going hard work to get our documents updated. Here's to a great week ahead. Kevin Stevens, President

Thank you for your cooperation. ~Your Association Team

As early as next week, the fiber installation crews will begin the final stages of burying conduit to support the new fiber optic cable system. Homes along Irish Moss will be fed from the front (Corallite Lane) side of the street. Most homes between Bubble Shell and Wildflax will be fed from between or behind the homes. Much of the information in the paragraph below also applies to this area. Homes located between Wildflax and Oakdale will be fed from between or behind the homes. As residents in this area know, the easements between these homes contain sheds, concrete pavers, air conditioning units, electrical lines, water lines, communication cables, and other obstacles. This will be the most challenging portion of the installation within the community. Please be prepared for the possibility of temporary utility disruptions and other inconveniences. To minimize the risk of damage to existing utilities, this area will be excavated entirely by hand. Patio areas may be impacted during the installation process. We strongly recommend that residents remove or relocate any personal property from these areas before work begins. As a reminder there is an easement along the backside of these lots and the association is not responsible for any damage caused as a result of this construction. Homes along Oakdale will be fed from the front side of the homes, similar to the installation completed along Ariana. Lapwing is currently being worked on from the front at the time of this notice posting. As crews continue their work throughout the community, we recognize that streets may occasionally be blocked by construction vehicles and equipment. Yesterday, a frustrated homeowner or renter drove through an empty lot and ran over newly installed fiber optic conduit, causing significant damage. While we understand that construction can be inconvenient, this type of behavior is unacceptable and will not be tolerated. Thank you in advance for your patience and cooperation as we complete this exciting upgrade to our community's internet infrastructure. The finished project will provide faster, more reliable service for those that subscribe. ~Your Association Team
