Our Security person was introduced, her name is Diane and she will be going around the park a couple times a night. You may see her on the golf cart with the yellow light or in her car or walking. She was asked if she has a local number and she does not. Sam will contact Barb about this. Also it was brought up about walking on towards traffic however that is not always the best idea.

Both Fountains are now working on the pond. However, resident are still complaining about the smell in the area.

HOA Listens final time for the years is March 29, 9 am to noon at Baker Hall.

New Business:

Steve has asked something from us, when folks are using the Halls and are not taking out the trash. You need to take the trash to the dumpsters; this does not mean putting it in the recycling container outside the builds. One other problem relating to this, when there are parties, please keep the doors closed as there have been complaints about the loudness of the music. At Baker Hall people are going out to smoke or just leave the doors open and the music is turned up we need to be mindful of people around you. Quiet hours does begin at 10:00 pm, but be considerate of your neighbors. Also a discussion if you have reserved the building, That the rules would be understood.

Sam reported our Insurance bill only came in at $254.54 for D&O Insurance and Liability.

Remember before you leave for the summer to clean up around you unit, put everything away that could go blow around. Best rule of thumb is if it is not planted or fix to the ground it needs to be put away, or it may be gone when you come back.

The exercise equipment has been moved to the Laundry Room that is connected to Rec Hall 1. They are no longer any equipment at the Key Club.

Issues from the Floor

The Easter Bunny will be around the park on Easter Morning handing out candy and pictures will be available.

Discussion on who can attend our Homeowners Meeting, Sam explained everyone (Homeowners, RV’ers) is encouraged to come and find out what we are doing.

Please be very careful we have grandchildren visiting our park so be sure to slow down. But, also remember you must have a driver’s license to drive a golf cart or motorized vehicle in the park.

The dirt at the back south corner by the railroad tracks it not for everyone in the park. Please leave it where it is. That is a dog walk area.

Discussion on if Baker Hall would be getting a Defibrillator. Sam would bring this up to Barb.

Motion to adjourn made by Joanne Small, 2^nd by John Kirk, all in favor

50/50 Drawing won by Mary Royan, congratulations

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Special Announcement

The park has put in stop signs at each corner, this is to slow people down. Nothing else has worked and if this does not work we may be looking at rumble strips. Please pay attention and follow the rules. Please let any one that does not have email or computer and let them know of the change.

Lights on after Dark this was gone last year and we need to do this for safety reasons

Reflectors at the Entrances: Barb tried to do this with sticks but this did not work and she is getting the tapes as promised.

Security we are still working at getting a golf cart with yellow light to be around the park to make it more visible.

Keyless Lock on Baker Hall, it looks like it is going to be still a fight. Barb does not feel we need it. But this is not something I am going to let drop.

Pond Fountain is not working, Dave is trying but he has run into problems with county on it

HOA Listens: This has been working quite well, do you want me to continue.

New Business:

It has been requested that they put lights for the Petanque Court; Barb is going to check if it can be done by connecting to the pump house or pool area.

This year I have received severe complaints about loud music and parties. Please just be aware of other people. If it is loud enough for your neighbors to hear we need to turn it down. We are all here to have a good time and most started as campers and look forward together with friends and having a good time, I included.

Parking or standing in the roadway, no blocking the roadway, please is aware of your friends around you.

I went to Barb about a complaint on how some of the storage areas have become very shabby. This was brought to our attention from someone going through the park, looking at possibly renting a spot and made these comments. That a motor home in the back looked abandoned and where the boats are that they had junk piled up and tables & chairs. When I talked to Barb she said that is just their man cave. I said sorry if this is going to drive people away this needs to be cleaned up.

Insurance Renewal for the Board, after review with the insurance company they go by how many members and I counted all mobile and they said only paid members so our premium has been dropped to under $500.00. I have not received the modified bill.

This is very important that everyone cleans up around your lot before you leave for the season. Everything must be put away or it may be thrown away. Remember it could fly into yours or your neighbor’s trailer when we get high winds. If you have put out mulch, lava rock or stones you are responsible for keeping them weeded why you are gone.

Slow Down, Sam as asked for Rumble Strips but they will not do this, they think it is hazardous for wheel chairs. There is no reason for anyone to be driving fast in this park. Report all offenders to the office.

South Bath & Laundry Room, keep the doors closed when you leave. Maybe if they vented the Driers all the way out from under the building the humidity would not cause moister in the floors.

There is a pile of lumber on Clifford down near Barb’s. Everyone feels it should be in the dumpster. Bill Griffith said he put it there because Barb told him to do this.
