The meeting was called to order by President Louis Clark. Members present were:

Ken Banks, the CPA for the HOA was here today to share and explain the budget and entertain questions the homeowners might have. Robert Shumate the HOA Treasurer shared some financial matters also.
The candidates running for a position on the board were to speak. They were Timmy Croom, Mark Casey, Louis Clark, Robert Shumate and Melissa Robertson who was not in attendance due to a previous engagement. Louis asked were there any nominations from the floor, as there were none a motion was made and seconded and all were in favor to close the nominations.
Mike Truelove, an Enhancement Com. Member and BOD Representative gave an update on the pool furniture and appointed $$ for the pool repairs.
Louis gave an additional update of the $11,000 balance for the Enhancement Com.
Tracy (MA), updated Homeowners on getting dues in, stickers on golf carts and boat trailers.
Earl and Louis updated information on the gate and e-mails.
Tracy emphasized the importance of picking up behind your dogs. If you see someone who doesn’t, you need to report it to Tracy. She also informed the Homeowners that cats can be unleashed in your yard: out of your yard they MUST be on a leash. She also shared If you feed a cat for more than 72 hrs. it becomes YOUR cat, and you are responsible for any damage it imposes. It was noted we can set traps and call animal control.
Louis opened the floor for “OLD” business and no one came forward.
“NEW” Business:
Someone asked if dues could be collected on automatic draft. It was noted if we were able to pay online you might have a $3 fee.
There were concerns about the water being cut off if you are gone for more than 3 days. Louis informed the Homeowners this rule is no longer in effect, BUT it is recommended to cut it off in the event there was a leak and the water was not cut off that the Homeowner would be responsible for a certain amount of the water leaked. Homeowners asked about water meters and concerns of the residents that “live in here” using more water. Earl explained why waters meters are not feasible.
Homeowners also asked about broken meter lids.
A Homeowner expressed concern about the condition of the road outside the gate. They were informed it is the responsibility of the campground.
