Finance:
Moriah Mozingo was absent but emailed a report.
Neighborhood Watch:
Kim Wood had nothing new to report.
Recreation (Pool, Ballfield & Playground):
Larry Wilson reported that he has some plumbing issues to repair, the pool furniture needs to be moved to storage and the pool will hopefully be covered before the October meeting, possibly September 25.
Clubhouse:
Vicki Moore reported a few upcoming rentals between now and the end of the year. We still need to consider a new AC unit since the current unit keeps tripping out. This could possibly be due to “high head pressure”. We will have no recourse for repairs with the need to control AC stability. We have ha $1000 in clubhouse rentals and we received a $1000 donation from the Ladies Club towards the repairs.
Orange Book
Melanie Turner was absent; Kyle Jones questioned Standing Rule 17 at the Community Q&A to make sure it was not deleted without a full vote of the community. The Board is not sure this is required?
Beautification:
Leigh Cornish had no report.
Building Permits
Chris Vanelli reported a permit from Kyle Jones for a chicken coop with no foundation. It was moved and seconded to table this until after a lawsuit settlement.
Greeter
Barbara Campbell was absent.
Mowing & Grounds
Kyle Cornish had a question from the mowers if we can cut the levees all to one height – answer is no, due to potential for erosion. We need to keep as much grass as we can on all levees.
Maintenance: Lakes & Dams:
Joel Bales and Nathan Naramore reported that they will work on removing the abandoned boat on Bob White at the common property near Mrs. Spicer. As a community concern from our recent community Q&A addressing removing old piers and locations of new piers needs to be considered. Code now requires new piers to have rails. The Rain Cloud boat ramp does not have rails as it is not a pier, but used to launch boats. Some residents prefer piers to be left in locations with shade despite the shallow water. Community members are reminded to please come to the monthly meetings and express your opinions – the Board NEEDS your input.
Ladies Club:
*. Kathy Fink reported on a wonderful September Potluck Dinner with Bingo. The Ladies Club will sponsor Trunk Treat for Halloween. The Ladies Club requested permission to have the dead tree cut down and removed that is
Located behind the rental sheds. Motion was made and seconded to allow the Ladies Club to have the tree removed. The possibility of monthly Bingo was mentioned if the community is interested.
Old Business:
* Vicki Moore would like to add $50 into the 2023 budget for the Secretary position, to begin in January 2023.
New Business:
* Joel Bales mentioned the semi truck on Black Hawk, and the red and white RV parked in the back yard on Black Hawk. It appears to be a 1960s style trailer – is it used as a storage shed? Is this allowed?
*. The question of ATVs on the roadways was raised. They are not legal on county roads, and there is much speeding By underage drivers. Question was raised if we could become a “golf cart community”. We could ask County Supervisor Michael Lee? There is nothing defined as “street legal” any more because there are no vehicle Inspections. All drivers need to be licensed.
- * It was mentioned that trees on Thunderbird North in the big curve had been cut back from request online.
- * Janice Burchett gave a brief update about the upcoming voting procedures for the Annual Meeting and reminded The Board that everything is done by lot number rather than by last name. The motion was made and seconded to adjourn the meeting and passed unanimously. _______________________ _______________________________ Ned Plunk, President Ann Plunk, Secretary
