Don D – Minutes entered and approved. Motion, Second, Approved.
Carrie – Treasury Report
Gen Fund balance = $2874.51
missed last meeting, plus deposit of $800 of dues included in balance in the operating account.
Saving acct/pier fund balance is $2529.07, just had to pay recent 630 for atty fee, plus a $15 fee for minimum balance, since the bank changed hands.
That’s it right now.
Don d- while we’re on the money subject, dues = $800. We need a list of whose paid.
Greg W- I think money transactions need documentation, meaning invoices and receipts.
John L – What about a receipt with Carbons?
Pier Committee- Nothing has happened this month, Basically, I am still waiting for Ben to get back to me on the non-conforming use permit.
We need to get the note off the plat. He was going to give me a couple of names for drawing up a plat.
Don- I’d like them (the county) to tell me that they need a new plat.
They have it to start with.
Greg W- We should check with Macrone first. The drawing should be in a flat file somewhere. They should be able to provide it with minimal costs. We don’t want to have new surveys done by engineers.
Carrie – Joe said the county was down here. He had plans etc., he said he was planning on putting another pit down there plus 2 other structures, pedestal and a blower. He was looking at it and I don’t think that the county realized that the pier was even down there and that we use the path down there to get to the pier. Also, he mentioned all the water and wetness down there. They should start in Jan and finish up by Jun or July.
Don – Joe can you call public works and find out what it going on down there? Give em a call and try to get someone down here to with us to tell us what is going on down there. I’d like to meet with them, and have them come down here so that they actually see it for themselves.
Joe Z – I can do that.
Don- JOHN yer up.
John L – For those who weren’t at the last meeting, we voted quite a bit. It’s all in the minutes. What I would like to do at this meeting, is to just get some feedback over the rules on how we want to govern the pier. Do you want people carrying guns down there, smoking, hours of operation etc. Whatever we come up with at this meeting we’ll post online and then we can go from there.
JOE H- I looked at a couple of other communities with rules and regs.
Don- Kids wearing life jackets. That’s probably one that we should put in there.
John L- Child supervision with parental supervision.
JOE Z – I think we should be consistent with what the county requires.
John L – If something happens, They can hold RHHA liable.
Rita – I don’t think children under 10 years old should be down there with out parental supervision.
John L – If we put it in a s a rule, then we’re covered.
Rita – 10 year olds must be supervised. 12 and under are required to wear life jacket.
Greg W- we should post sign with rules and website address where all the rules will be posted.
John L- Motion, I want signatures from all the homeowners stating that they have read and acknowledge the rules.
