All Board members present except Doc Norwood

Subjects to be discussed at next week’s Town Meeting – May 17th

• Sprinkler System ~ The system has been finished in the Banquet Room.  The contractors are working around the events / activities of DH members.
• ACC Amendments ~ A new manual will be presented to the Board for approval at the Town meeting.
• Capital Improvement Fund Proposal will be presented by Treasurer John Porter.  This is a ‘revamp’ of a resolution passed in 2000.
• Golf Committee Request will be made by Golf Committee Chairman DeOtis Cotton.  Dan Munroe explained the need for funds to be set aside for ‘Green Replacement’.  An increase of the golf dues by $100.00 is also being requested.  The need for a golf operations manager was explained.  “Presently there is no one doing this job.”  Good discussion followed with contrary opinions and ideas passed around.  Agreement was reached regarding the need for marketing of our golf course.
• Loitering ~ President Rick Noffsinger notified the Board of 5-8 boys that have been damaging property in the Kiddie Koral & swimming pool areas.  This has been occurring on Friday & Saturday nights between 3 or 4 o’clock in the mornings.  Curfew is being enforced.  However, some of these “youth” are over 18 years old.  Discussion ensued. Gated Communities do have the authority to set their own regulations.  Example: an all age curfew.  Public Safety Committee Liaison Joe Claflin was asked to study this situation.
• Update on ponds – member sign in ~ It is being asked that residents inform the Front Gate of their intention to fish in the front ponds each day.  This will aid the security personnel in regulating the use by non-residents.  Signs will be posted with this information: “Private Property / No Trespassing”.  Game & Fish Commission demand all those fishing in the ponds have a fishing license or will be fined over $300.00.
• Fire Department has increased its yearly dues; each home will be paying $70.00.
• Roads Committee ~ Bob Jones ~ a straw vote was taken to approve the expenditure of $47,000 for the roads this year.
