The meeting opened with the approval of the February minutes.

First item on the agenda:  Community Standards Committee recommendations call for enforcement of Rules & Regs to be handled by Chief Joel Tyner / DH Police Department.  President Chris Wasson described his conversation with Joel, Hot Spring County Sheriff and Garland County Sheriff:
  • Joel is an Arkansas code enforcement officer
  • DH is a Private community
  • If any legal code enforcement officer / Official Badge / attempts enforcement on Private property, “we are setting ourselves up for a lawsuit”.
  • Suggestion:  Adopt Hot Spring & Garland County ordinances.
 ~Gordon Moore, Suzie Combs, Sharon Carr & John Porter agreed that Joel works for DH and should therefore enforce all DH Rules & Regulations as passed by the Board of Directors.
~Chris Wasson expressed his appreciation for the immediate access to police protection through the DHPD. 
~Interesting Discussion continued with the Community Standards regulation regarding RVs, Water Craft & Road Craft (4 wheelers, utility trailers, golf carts).
·       Note: Page 10, #4 states: No more than one RV, one Water Craft and one Road Craft allowed per residential site with proper permits.  John Porter & Sharon Carr suggested the word “and” be changed to say “or”.  Click here to view document
·       Jim Ott described the 2012 Town Meeting that necessitated the current wording for this issue as stated in the 2012 Community Standards Rules & Regs.
o      Tremendous turn out of community support for maintaining RVs, Water Craft and Road Craft on personal property.
o      Special Committee formed to meet this need with the subsequent 2012 Rules & Regs approved by the 2012 Board of Directors.
·       Community Standards Liaison Sharon Carr and Director John Porter argued in favor of RVs being stored on an ‘off campus’ storage facility.  Sharon Carr would like to see yards cleaned up by storing utility trailers in a similar facility.
o      In 2012, a suggestion was made to use an appropriate DH lot as a storage site for DH members’ use
