With discussion on the 2022-2023 budget and the upcoming year the board approved
the budget for the 2023-2024 year. Earl Bunting made a motion to accept the budget for the
2023-2024 year, Robert Shumate seconded it and all were in favor.

The Enhancement Committee submitted plans to purchase a 12×24 building at the pool (with
white hardy board). Earl Bunting made a motion to approve the purchase. Mary Rhodes
seconded it and all were in favor.

Due to the unexpected pool repair and security measures, Homeowners will be assessed $100
immediately due 7-1-2023.

The board asked the Managing Agent that a monthly statement be sent to the Board.
With the intention to improve our security, fixing the gate with a license plate reader, 4
cameras at the pool, 3 cameras at the shelter and 2 cameras on the pier (1 @ the cleaning
station & 1 @ the end of the pier) at a cost of $7500 will be purchased. Robert Shumate made a
motion to accept the purchase, Hugh Kennedy seconded it and all were in favor.

The Enhancement Com. presented plans for a wall at the pool end of the shelter. It would have
double doors facing the pool, a gas fireplace and a TV placed in an enclosure (weather
protection and security) plus for the fire regulations, an exit at the “creek end” of the shelter
will be needed. No action for approval was taken at this time.

does.

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

people we think would consider helping. Demon Dawson will get the mail & bring
to the person in charge. Mary Bryan will put the trash cans up and police the
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
available for the camera’s. Policing the pool for arm bands was suggested to ask
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.

The GCL BOD Mtg. was called to order by Pres.

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.

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.
