Louis announced there would be a Budget Mtg. with Ken Banks @Louis’ house 3-25-2023 @ 9

There was discussion about golf cart stickers and should we charge for more than 2 stickers per
homeowner. Robert Shumate made a motion – That more than 2 golf cart stickers per
homeowner would be $5 each. It was seconded by Earl Bunting and passed by all.
It was decided that stickers for boat trailers and boats would have the Lot # on them but they
would be different than the golf cart stickers and not require yearly replacement as the golf cart
does.

The # of guest passes being allowed for the homeowner was discussed. Earl Bunting made a
motion: The # of guest passes per homeowner would be limited to 1 per month and it does not
carry over or transfer. The homeowner will be charged $50 per additional pass within the same
month. April 1- March 31. Robert Shumate seconded it and it was passed by all.

Maintenance for the pool is being considered by the board and it was decided to table the
decision till we meet again.

yards. Penny Wetherington will do the general office work and computer. Louis
will handle any bills to be paid for June, July and August. Earl and Mary will be

Pam Yancey & she can recruit someone to help her. Chopper will help with the
park maintenance. The pool maintenance is taken care of. We can report any
violations to Louis and Earl.

Louis reported that the residents in arrears with their HOA dues will be sent
letters and if not in compliance by July 15, 2022 their water will be cut off and
they could loose access to any park amenities, and a lien could be put on their
property.

The new picnic tables have been ordered and delivery will be in time for July 1.
There was a reminder for boat owners to be aware not to block the golf cart
entrance to the waterfront.

It has been brought to the boards attention of a fuel tank on a homeowners
property. Louis stated it was being looked into.

Residents whose property is left “unkept” will be notified & given a time frame to
get things cleaned up.

Cats not on a leash are presenting a problem with homeowners. All cats and dogs
are to be on a leash at all times. Also know that it is legal to catch cats on your property
and call Animal control and they will pick them up M-F.

Earl nominated Louis Clark for Pres. and it was seconded and all were in favor. Hugh
nominated Earl Bunting for Vice President, it was seconded and all were in favor. Diana
Tyndall was nominated for Secretary, seconded and all were in favor.

It was noted that the picnic tables were in need of repair or replacement. Louie said we could do 1 of 3 things: Do nothing, Repair them Replace them

It was suggested to replace with poly wood tables, and the information was presented to the board members and 8 ft. tables were suggested instead of the present 16 ft. ones. The price for more than 1 was $1170.00 ea. For 3 or more tables. It was suggested we split the total with the Enhancement Com. As the old tables were aluminum we can sell them and add that to help defray the cost of the tables.
The ordering and shipping would be a 10 day turn around making it possible to have them for
July 1. Mary Rhodes offered to check on replacing the legs on the present tables and what the turn around would be with ordering and shipping.

It was noted we need to move forward with re-doing the JTA(Joint Tenancy Agreement) and the By-Laws and we have $5000 set aside to begin the process.

also be a Pin Fish Tournament for kids 0-12, and corn hole tournaments for adults and kids this
year.

Hugh Kennedy reminded homeowners that the rule for dogs on a leash also applies for cats and
owners will be fined if your animal is not in compliance.

There many concerns from homeowners about golf carts entering the park without GCL
stickers, no cart insurance at all and coming in thru homeowners yards from others
subdivisions. Louis said he is hoping to set up a mtg. with the HOA from the subdivision about
the golf carts coming in thru our residents yards. It was also said we need to identify the
perpetrators. Louis encouraged the homeowners to call the Sheriff’s office to report any
vandalism. Golf carts with no insurance stickers can’t be in here. We as homeowners need to
police people on carts with no stickers.

matter also as homeowners.

Mary suggested as a future enhancement project of filling in the open curb area at the water front with rocks or crushed shells. 

Mary informed the committee that the 2022 Enhancement Corn Hole Tournament will include a tournament for 12 year olds and up (the upper age limit was not discussed).  More details will follow as time gets closer.

Also Mary reminded all that we have a resident that helps us with the trophies each year for our events so please do not purchase trophies without checking first.

Saturday, September 18, 2021
The GCL BOD Mtg. was called to order by President Louis Clark. Members present were: Don Mitchell, Hugh Kennedy, Earl Bunting, Mike Truelove, Don Gray (by phone), Diana Tyndall, Phylliss Pennigton (Park Manager).

The first item on the agenda was the pool resurfacing scheduled for 11-1-21. The original proposal was for $21,000 and due to increases in materials the cost is now $23,000. A motion was made, seconded and passed with no one opposed to accept the new figure.

There is some concern about “motorized bicycles” being allowed in the park. It has been questioned if they fall under the present rules because they are not “specifically” listed in the rule as a “motorized bicycle”. A motion was made, seconded and passed with no one opposing to add “motorized bicycles” to the list.

Water drainage at the waterfront was discussed and it was decided to get Kyle Corbett and Don Mitchell come and speak with the homeowners involved. It was also reported the repaired area needs sodding and leveling to assist with better drainage and a second pipe was also discussed.

Mike Lancaster spoke on the water drainage behind homeowners lots. The problem seems to be in the easement. Lancaster quoted $3,500 to do the work needed which involved mats for drainage. There was some discussion on “where” the water will go. Lancaster will “shoot’ (a surveying term) the areas in question to see how the water will run. It was also brought up about how the water would run on the right of way on Goose Creek Blvd. A resident expressed a concern about the water coming in his yard after the correction. It was suggested we try to correct the water in the easement first and if the water problem running into the residents yard continues we would address it then. A motion was made, seconded, and passed with no one opposed that the work does not exceed $5,000 and it would begin in mid-October.

The meeting was adjourned and the board went into closed session.
